《River People (Live)》歌词

[00:06:57] Come on, yeah

[00:06:57] I like to take this opportunity to thank everybody

[00:06:57] Who been riding with me so far, it's a been a long journey

[00:06:57] But they say your life's path is not about the destination

[00:06:57] It's all about the journey, I appreciate y'all

[00:06:57] It's my blood, sweat, tears, years

[00:06:57] Struggle, love, hate, fear, New York City

[00:06:57] You could make it here, you could make it anywhere

[00:06:57] I came prepare for the rain, hail, sleet, snow

[00:06:57] Whatever the weather we ride

[00:06:57] Let my people go to the place where knowledge is born

[00:06:57] We welcome you to the 3rd eye of the storm, check it out

[00:06:57] Futuristic lyricist, straight from the renaissance

[00:06:57] Top of the suffer chain, raps up a edge a lot

[00:06:57] My people suffering, slave to another chain

[00:06:57] This voyage is maiden like my mother, other name

[00:06:57] Is this your first trip to hell?

[00:06:57] Avenge a capitalist, if it's a product then we got it for sell

[00:06:57] When I first started to spell, my words fell into rhymes

[00:06:57] Turned into songs, everything else fell into line

[00:06:57] I paint the pictures, you could see the people bleeding my bars

[00:06:57] When I was a teen, I was mean, about to reach for the stars

[00:06:57] So if I fail or fell, write in the clouds, tighten the vowel

[00:06:57] Word, there use to be no biting allowed

[00:06:57] Now the gangsters, no grinding allowed

[00:06:57] Probably see a fight in the stage, 'fore you see a fight in the crowd

[00:06:57] I send this out to my people facing the storm

[00:06:57] Homie, we riding it out, you inspire what I'm writing about

[00:06:57] It's my blood, sweat, tears, years

[00:06:57] Struggle, love, hate, fear, New York City

[00:06:57] You could make it here, you could make it anywhere

[00:06:57] I came prepare for the rain, hail, sleet, snow

[00:06:57] Whatever the weather we ride

[00:06:57] Let my people go to the place where knowledge is born

[00:06:57] We welcome you to the 3rd eye of the storm check it out

[00:06:57] It's the 3rd eye of the storm

[00:06:57] It's the 3rd eye of the storm

[00:06:57] It's the 3rd eye of the storm

[00:06:57] It's the 3rd eye of the storm

[00:06:57] Check it out

[00:06:57] Check it out

[00:06:57] Check it out

[00:06:57] Been * around

[00:06:57] I'm not a judge but I'm handing out sentences

[00:06:57] To political prisoners, regular inmates with no visitors

[00:06:57] * in the streets outside to reach up for ministers

[00:06:57] Not those that say they spiritual but actual practitioners

[00:06:57] Rap listeners, we open the black businesses

[00:06:57] This underground * with samples to lack clearances

[00:06:57] Once you get a past appearances, you could tell who * is fake

[00:06:57] And who's * is based upon the past experiences

[00:06:57] We really been to war, hand to hand like * sales

[00:06:57] Bill the man, the man they try to kill off the blackmail

[00:06:57] Females left to raise up a son

[00:06:57] From the day he was one

[00:06:57] Til' he twenty, and he raise up a gun

[00:06:57] Get the blazin, fore the blaze of the sun

[00:06:57] Smoke bracin' his lung

[00:06:57] Young in his years and he's facing a ton

[00:06:57] None of his peers wanna share the road

[00:06:57] Love the child, care to provider

[00:06:57] But they hand a blunt and share saliva

[00:06:57] You ain't a rider and you hustlin' backwards

[00:06:57] To many excess with imitating these crackers

[00:06:57] So our kids looking up to ** dealers and rappers

[00:06:57] Taking all the work away from the black actors

[00:06:57] Revelation is first and Armageddon is after

[00:06:57] Tsunami's, hurricanes and natural disasters

[00:06:57] Fast food culture be this, is always a factor

[00:06:57] It's the gratification they want the cash faster

[00:06:57] It's my blood, sweat, tears, years

[00:06:57] Struggle, love, hate, fear, New York City

[00:06:57] You could make it here, you could make it anywhere

[00:06:57] I came prepare for the rain, hail, sleet, snow

[00:06:57] Whatever the weather we ride

[00:06:57] Let my people go to the place where knowledge is born

[00:06:57] We welcome you to the 3rd eye of the storm check it out

[00:06:57] It's the 3rd eye of the storm

[00:06:57] It's the 3rd eye of the storm

[00:06:57] Talib Kweli, that's what it is, break it down
