《River People (Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] Come on, yeah

[00:00:01] I like to take this opportunity to thank everybody

[00:00:31] Who been riding with me so far, it's a been a long journey

[00:01:07] But they say your life's path is not about the destination

[00:01:24] It's all about the journey, I appreciate y'all

[00:01:35] It's my blood, sweat, tears, years

[00:02:00] Struggle, love, hate, fear, New York City

[00:02:18] You could make it here, you could make it anywhere

[00:02:45] I came prepare for the rain, hail, sleet, snow

[00:02:50] Whatever the weather we ride

[00:02:51] Let my people go to the place where knowledge is born

[00:02:54] We welcome you to the 3rd eye of the storm, check it out

[00:02:58] Futuristic lyricist, straight from the renaissance

[00:03:00] Top of the suffer chain, raps up a edge a lot

[00:03:02] My people suffering, slave to another chain

[00:03:03] This voyage is maiden like my mother, other name

[00:03:04] Is this your first trip to hell?

[00:03:06] Avenge a capitalist, if it's a product then we got it for sell

[00:03:09] When I first started to spell, my words fell into rhymes

[00:03:22] Turned into songs, everything else fell into line

[00:03:23] I paint the pictures, you could see the people bleeding my bars

[00:03:26] When I was a teen, I was mean, about to reach for the stars

[00:03:29] So if I fail or fell, write in the clouds, tighten the vowel

[00:03:33] Word, there use to be no biting allowed

[00:03:34] Now the gangsters, no grinding allowed

[00:03:39] Probably see a fight in the stage, 'fore you see a fight in the crowd

[00:03:40] I send this out to my people facing the storm

[00:03:44] Homie, we riding it out, you inspire what I'm writing about

[00:03:56] It's my blood, sweat, tears, years

[00:04:00] Struggle, love, hate, fear, New York City

[00:04:07] You could make it here, you could make it anywhere

[00:04:11] I came prepare for the rain, hail, sleet, snow

[00:04:15] Whatever the weather we ride

[00:04:21] Let my people go to the place where knowledge is born

[00:04:22] We welcome you to the 3rd eye of the storm check it out

[00:04:27] It's the 3rd eye of the storm

[00:04:33] It's the 3rd eye of the storm

[00:04:36] It's the 3rd eye of the storm

[00:04:42] It's the 3rd eye of the storm

[00:04:45] Check it out

[00:04:46] Check it out

[00:04:56] Check it out

[00:04:56] Been ***around

[00:04:58] I'm not a judge but I'm handing out sentences

[00:05:00] To political prisoners, regular inmates with no visitors

[00:05:01] ***in the streets outside to reach up for ministers

[00:05:03] Not those that say they spiritual but actual practitioners

[00:05:07] Rap listeners, we open the black businesses

[00:05:11] This underground ***with samples to lack clearances

[00:05:13] Once you get a past appearances, you could tell who ***is fake

[00:05:19] And who's ***is based upon the past experiences

[00:05:32] We really been to war, hand to hand like ***sales

[00:05:35] Bill the man, the man they try to kill off the blackmail

[00:05:37] Females left to raise up a son

[00:05:38] From the day he was one

[00:05:41] Til' he twenty, and he raise up a gun

[00:05:45] Get the blazin, fore the blaze of the sun

[00:05:47] Smoke bracin' his lung

[00:05:48] Young in his years and he's facing a ton

[00:05:52] None of his peers wanna share the road

[00:05:53] Love the child, care to provider

[00:05:57] But they hand a blunt and share saliva

[00:05:58] You ain't a rider and you hustlin' backwards

[00:05:59] To many excess with imitating these crackers

[00:06:01] So our kids looking up to drug dealers and rappers

[00:06:03] Taking all the work away from the black actors

[00:06:05] Revelation is first and Armageddon is after

[00:06:07] Tsunami's, hurricanes and natural disasters

[00:06:08] Fast food culture be this, is always a factor

[00:06:17] It's the gratification they want the cash faster

[00:06:19] It's my blood, sweat, tears, years

[00:06:21] Struggle, love, hate, fear, New York City

[00:06:23] You could make it here, you could make it anywhere

[00:06:24] I came prepare for the rain, hail, sleet, snow

[00:06:27] Whatever the weather we ride

[00:06:29] Let my people go to the place where knowledge is born

[00:06:30] We welcome you to the 3rd eye of the storm check it out

[00:06:32] It's the 3rd eye of the storm

[00:06:34] It's the 3rd eye of the storm

[00:06:41] It's the 3rd eye of the storm

[00:06:44] It's the place where knowledge is born

[00:06:45] Check it out, check it out, check it out

[00:06:47] Talib Kweli, that's what it is, break it down
