|
They say the goodness in life belongs to those who believe |
|
So, i believe...yes! |
|
[chorus] 2x |
|
I start to think, and then i sink |
|
Into the paper, like i was ink |
|
When i'm writing i'm trapped in between the line |
|
I escape when i finish the rhyme (aiyyo) |
|
My pops said he was in love when he made me |
|
Thought about it for a second, wasn't hard to see |
|
I could hear he was sincere, was a game of promotion |
|
The entire affair's probably charged wit emotion |
|
But love call your heart, i guess you got to persue |
|
12-11-73 my life is testament |
|
Praise the beneficent, element that rest |
|
Devoid in the form that make love manifest |
|
I spent my early years in roosevelt project |
|
It was a bright valley wit some dark prospects |
|
In '83, venny c was the host wit the most |
|
I listened to the rap attack and held the radio close |
|
I listened to the rap attack and held the radio close |
|
This is far before the days of high glamour and pose |
|
Aiyyo power from the street light made the place dark |
|
I know a few understand what i'm talkin about |
|
It was love for the thing that made me wanna stay out |
|
It was love for the thing that made me stay in the house |
|
Spendin time, writin rhymes |
|
Tryin to find words that describe the vibe |
|
That's inside the space |
|
When you close yo' eyes and screw yo' face |
|
Is this the pain of too much tenderness |
|
To make me nod my head in reverence |
|
Should i visit this place and remember it? |
|
To build landmarks here as evidence |
|
Night time, spirit shook my temperment |
|
To write rhymes that portray this sentiment |
|
We live the now for the promise of the infinite |
|
We live the now for the promise of the inifinite |
|
And we believe in the promise (love, love *repeated*) |
|
Yes yes y'all and we don't stop because |
|
Chorus |
|
I got love, l-o-v-e and i be |
|
Love, l-o-v-e to mc |
|
Get love, l-o-v-e and i be |
|
Love, l-o-v-e i mc |
|
Get love, l-o-v-e and i be |
|
Love, l-o-v-e to mc |
|
Get love, l-o-v-e and i be |
|
The m-o-s-d-e-f-initely |
|
Check it out y'all, feel me out y'all |
|
Feel me out y'all, hear my out y'all |
|
Check me, out y'all |
|
Feel me out y'all, check it out y'all |
|
Now hear out (bounce) y'all |
|
Check me out y'all, feel me out y'all |
|
Check me out y'all, feel me out y'all |
|
Feel me out y'all (hear me bounce y'all) |
|
Check me out y'all, check it out y'all |
|
My folks said they was in love when they had me |
|
I take they love they made me wit to make rhymes and beats |
|
(can you feel?) the raw deal, it's all wheel-driven |
|
Contemplate the essence of beats, rhymes and living |
|
Speech in line wit the rhythm, designed wit the rhythm |
|
Ears and eyes keepin good time wit the rhythm |
|
I shine wit the rhythm, the black star gallactica |
|
Big number fleetin, we ancient like the abbacca's |
|
After us, i see most proceed to be trees |
|
Sproutin leaves, given breeze to the we who believe |
|
I mc, which means i must cultivate the earth |
|
Back straight backs, hard beats and hard work |
|
I be the funky drummer to soften the hard earth |
|
(amin) pray allah keep my soul and heart clean |
|
(amin) pray the same thing again for all my team |
|
This go out to fort greene and on out to queens |
|
Uptown to boogie down, yo just look around |
|
And shook up the world!, like ali in 6-3 (right) |
|
I'm reachin the height that you said cannot be |
|
I'm bringin the light but you said we can't see |
|
Saw the new day commin, and it look just like me |
|
Some burst through the clouds, my photo id |
|
I bring light to your day and raise yo' degree |
|
The universal magnetic, you must respect it |
|
From end to beginning, ? true and livin |
|
Every changing, it was a state of magnificent |
|
Building it now for the promise of the infinite |
|
Building it now for the promise of the inifinite because |
|
Chorus |
|
I got love, l-o-v-e and i be |
|
Love, l-o-v-e to mc |
|
Get love, l-o-v-e and i be |
|
Love, l-o-v-e to mc |
|
Get love, l-o-v-e and i be |
|
Love, l-o-v-e to mc |
|
Get love, l-o-v-e and i be |
|
The m-o-s-d-e-f-initely |
