(Slimkid3) |
|
Yo..inhale, exhale |
|
Been a long time coming, still a long way to go |
|
Evolution of manhood |
|
Evolution, revolution |
|
(Slimkid3) |
|
Born with sight but became sightless |
|
Rehabilitated visions from being frightened |
|
In the dark, just bits of light when |
|
Lightning sparks, thunder rumbled |
|
Chasing courage from the heart |
|
Searching for solitude without a solitary card |
|
Knees bleeding but proceeding to pray to God |
|
Forever humble but before a man boys stumble |
|
Before there was peace vast lands had crumbled |
|
Apart - from the truth a great distance |
|
Met with many guides to provide assistance |
|
To shorten that distance with me and the Maker |
|
The mind was overthrown by the Undertaker |
|
The Devil's a faker, see he lied to me |
|
Singing sweet sad songs to mesmerise |
|
But my eyes have seen four dimensions |
|
Now gather your strength for all these bad intentions |
|
(Bootie Brown/Frank Fiction) |
|
That you seem to get when you get a little older |
|
Days a lot colder, used to cry upon my mama's shoulder |
|
Til pop finalised it, I analysed it, can fantasize |
|
With your manhood, make your plan good |
|
With the back up, unfortunately niggas act up |
|
Seems to be no solution, too many facing execution |
|
Then I know many ready to leave the revolution |
|
On their evolution to manhood, manhood |
|
(Chorus 2X: Diana Brooks) |
|
When a boy becomes a man |
|
Takes time to understand |
|
The ways of the world today |
|
(Chorus: Pharcyde) |
|
Step by step, day by day |
|
Don't let the negative vibes lead the 'Cyde astray |
|
We keep the positive vibes till everything is okay |
|
On the evolution to manhood, to manhood |
|
(Imani/Citizen Strange) |
|
We realised it then re-devised it then excercised it |
|
Got connected and we checked and it's correct |
|
That the soul extends far beyond this fleshy existence |
|
The rest is still trapped in ignorance, giving resistance |
|
From a distance, interference from far away |
|
But neither Tim nor Anfernee had a harder way |
|
On getting here, I'm spitting clear |
|
Connecting with the energies from near and far away |
|
Karma, karma come back like a riccochet |
|
To hit ya so I'm coming with the scripture |
|
For the fixture, get the picture? |
|
(Chorus) |
