Authentic Level Of Greatness Lyrics - Artist : Canibus
Ladies and gentleman...
I had faith that the youth has to save the day We gotta let the chips fall where they may Feud Elvis paved the way, however I'm ashamed to say The foundation just faded away I told the limelight bovine in the cold mine Sometimes it gets so dark your soul can't shine What you do when justice takes years or more? But your world is 24 hours from being destroyed No time machines to tamper inbetween reality No time for apathy or religious fantasy Just you against the dragon beast What you gonna do? (What you gonna do?) I don't know. That's why I'm asking you Ima die on my feet like my favorite OG My favorite OG ain't dead yet, blame it on me Stay frosty, wake up like "Bis, get off me!" And I don't calm down till I taste my coffee The blind man jump batman, no rope That's the only way to get outta this hellhole Just be honest, you made a false positive promise The rap artists piling up like ocean garments [Samples] So operative bullnose, full blown turbo flow You motherfuckers don't deserve no dough They gotta U.S Republic minority budget To start a school for hip hop, nonprofit or public You see anyone that tells you they coming to save you? is lying 'Cause you gotta save yourself No matter what happens in the spiritual world of action They wanna be compensated to hell When they deal with their own they pull the trigger too late But everyone else get dealt with, they don't hesitate No mercy, no time to marinate They ain't satisfied till we living in a terra-state Guess what, we'll get used to it Ain't nothing new to us Adapt to the just, that's how we used to do it Destructive humans, destructive underground acoustics They totally destroyed our music [Samples] Stripped of our honor; laid down the rest in the garden Martyred, no chance of post-humuous pardon Too bad, rag top jag sugar hill swag Ride around with the top down listening to jazz 'Cause y'all act like y'all so much better than cavemen But all that knowledge just brought you enslavement Sentient, awareness, remove Dumbed down in a careless mood, I'm barely amused So much more pressure than ever Should the predecessor be more or lesser than their successor? Good question Unapologetic regret, questions still go unaddressed How he feels now is anybody's guess During this age of iron and widespread gun violence The puppet masters strings are now wireless Blindfolded, one more cigarette What's your last request? Maybe that life can outlast death In a metaphor turf war, the all time great work horse The war of the worlds, just for the sport On the other hand, I've got faith The youth gotta save the day, the chips gotta fall where they may The elders didn't pave the way I'm ashamed to say, that our future is the future we made Ladies and gentleman... |
