Well I’m waiting standing on the corner
And it’s coming 40 past the hour
In the midnight lonely freezing hour
With my insides churning in the gutter

And I’m waiting 40 past midnight
Catching rain in the soda light
Won’t you come & call me to your window
Please don’t leave me waiting on the corner

We could have the best time if you lighten up your life
With my pockets holey in the inside
With my bus ride rolling in the gutter
But if you would only light your lamp light
Then I would be here than any other

Well I’m waiting 40 past midnight
Catching cold in the pouring rain
Won’t you come & take me to your door
So I can take myself home again

When I’m waiting standing on the corner
And the soda light begins to flicker
And it’s getting 40 past the hour
And I think I won’t see what I figure
Well I’m waiting freezing on the inside
Staring up at your window pane
If you won’t come see me this evening
I can see myself here again

At the beach, pressure’s on
Dad in trunks and vest
Four years old, today’s the day
He gives me my big test
Picking up a beach ball
Red, green, yellow, blue
He throws it at my feet
Wonders what I’ll do
Do I kick it back?
Beautifully struck!
He’s dying to get his son
Into a football strip
Or run away to build a castle
And precipitate the end
Of our relationship

Well, it was Friday night last week we got pulled over with an O
53 and Ogden by a condescending po

Tried to fill his quota book

Stopped us no reason just the way we look

We would not let him search the car he said he’d call his dogs

But we were not worried cause

It was under 30 grams of 40/80 shit

Costly, it was good bud though, I admit

But I don’t wanna be a part of it

I will not give in

We must change from within? the system

They call us hopeless dreamers

They don’t know what we are

Imposing their ancient values

I wonder if they care, I wonder if they care

Then they pulled us out of Cockboy’s Caddy?”Hands on the hood!”

But the piggies didn’t find it cause we hid it so good

Pat down I knew he had a wood

Touching me only where my girl should

Yeah, to fuck with the system you need much wisdom

But first, but first you gotta work with them

Probable cause has definite flaws

It’s up to us to change the laws

Your word against mine is your policy

Now, show me where’s the legality

When you use your authority

To just instill fear in me

What’s up with your power trip?

It was later on that night before they finally let us go

Off to the donut shop and then we blazed half that O

So tough with your fake authority

Some day you’ll learn you?re the same as me

(Robotic Voice) : 400 degreez

Verse 1:
Ya see me I eat sleep shit and talk rap
Ya seen that 98 mercedes on t.v. I bought that
I had some felony charges I fought that
Been sent to no return but still was bought back
Nigga threw some slangs at me woodie I caught that
I punished them lil bitches before they can car jack
Now I’m lookin for they family and pile up the war bat
If I aint a hotboy then what do you call that
Nigga disrespect me I’ma be in all black
Companied by some niggas bout killin’ and all that
Me Cory and mercy gettin’ dunked on
Ride top down so we let the trucks pause
In the jepp ridin’ four deep
I booted up at these nigga claimin’ they know me

[Chorus] (Robotic Voice)
You don’t want to fuck wit me
Hot, Hot, Hot Boyz
Hot, Hot, Hot Boyz (repeat 2x)

Verse 2

Bitch what I’ll bust yo ass up
Don’t even go there woodie cuz I’m ready to mas up
I heard about the money thats some nice change
For the right price I’ll bust the right frame
Why must a nigga try I can’t do the right thing
Only God knows what the future might bring
Nigga might be shot, nigga might be triffling
Nigga might survive if he bout that right flame
Whats up that’ll stop a nigga from playin’
Sumin like a chopper or a grenade in his hand
Boy look nigga don’t play no games no mo
Nigga’ll bust ya head if you bang his hoe
Attitude adjustments we all need
Don’t call the enforcements nigga call me
I bet cha I’ll get them niggas off yo block
I bet cha I’ll show them niggas this boy hot

(Chorus)

Alright stop it cuz I done had enough
When it comes to my partners I’m ready to bust
Baby let me get the keys to the roover truck
Man let me get this beef shit over bro
Aint no bit this year I’m from the ‘nolia bro
Whats yo beef plan cuz it was told to us
How I’ma be runnin’ with these killas and backin’ down
How I’ma look in front of my people, like a clown
The G code what we live by and we die by
The book is what we will never abide by
Niggas drive by, gettin loose
Keep’em with each other like a checker board in use
Come in compton or the watts nigga
Up in New York ya keep’em open watch nigga
Foe ya played by a hit or retalion
All fine young black females stallions
Give me the keys to ya car and ya medallion
You far away from ya home yous a alien

(Chorus)

There is nowhere left to hide
There is nothing to be done
No people to be saved
No pets we’ve never named
40 miles from the sun
As darkness craves the mind
We come undone without our pride
No time on earth to come
All the pleasures just begun
40 miles from the sun
In our coats beneath the layers
Wash my skin of all the hate
We should sleep late
Everything just kind of grates
40 miles from the sun
40 miles from the sun
40 miles from the sun
40 miles
I need to lose to make it right
I’ll confront the stars tonight
I will babble i will bite
You’ll never know how much you shine
40 miles from the sun
40 miles from the sun
40 miles from the sun
40 miles from the sun
From the sun
40 miles from the sun
40 miles from the sun
40 miles from the sun
40 miles from the sun
40 miles from the sun

400 years (400 years, 400 years. Wo-o-o-o)
And it’s the same –
The same (wo-o-o-o) philosophy
I’ve said it’s four hundred years;
(400 years, 400 years. Wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o)
Look, how long (wo-o-o-o)
And the people they (wo-o-o-o) still can’t see.
Why do they fight against the poor youth of today?
And without these youths, they would be gone –
All gone astray

Come on, let’s make a move:
(make a move, make a move. Wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o)
I can (wo-o-o-o) see time (wo-o-o-o) – time has come,
And if-a fools don’t see
(fools don’t see, fools don’t see. Wo-o-o-o)
I can’t save the youth:
The youth (wo-o-o-o) is gonna be strong.
So, won’t you come with me;
I’ll take you to a land of liberty
Where we can live – live a good, good life
And be free.

Look how long: 400 years, (400 years, 400 years) –
Way too long! (wo-o-o-o)
That’s the reason my people (wo-o-o-o) – my people can’t see.
Said, it’s four hundred long years – (400 years, 400 years. Wo-o-o-o)
Give me patience (wo-o-o-o) – same philosophy.

It’s been 400 years, (400 years, 400 years)
Wait so long! Wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o.
How long? 400 long, long years. /fadeout/

J5 Blackalicious

Yo

[All]
We take a journey through music right now (*2X*)

[Charlie Tuna]
Yo, when music temptations cant be resisted
Fifths will be unconsistent make me a misfit
Listed as a phenomenom I got an oncoming bomb
Which is perfection and flexin like I spent time in Nam
The beat is on and its nice an easy
Instrumentals blendin like cinnamon rice and peas
And lifes a breeze when you dont have to kick it to find
Contemplate the creation with blackalicious and I
Tuna fish is for a musical infant hes past gone
Tryin to hold fast and grasp hits like last fall
So last long flash on keepin the past strong
we grab songs and rythm so people can catch on
Yes
My mic honor cause momma I twiced promised her
Love life if music is truly your wife honor her
Burnin to your thermometer stretch a million kilometers
Connect a population at birth to one another for real

[Chorus]
Music, deliver from within and it covers up everything
Music, when the melody and rythm get the moving an unity
Movin, one force one love one whole community
Do it, keep travelin on keep travelin on

[Gift of Gab]
Underground or overboard overlord oh my lord
More remore pure sonic over joy sworn for shorts
Unseen aquatic bout to get explored
Warriors breakin all the limits twistin the laws

[Chief Xcel]
Now who said that underground is only just one more
I’m sellin time and space and matter makin hula-hoops of saturns rings

[Gift of Gab]
And bring my thing and sink to think
That these was meant to be writ if these spits will ever be writ
We on some destiny (shh shhh) we took a piece of this
We often testement on every cultural element
Ever sent to us by the ancestors as though we manifest it
Some new world pedestrians
just lounging with some fishin poles Up on the moons crescent
Just tryin to make some history spittin on a few records
I had a dream like martin luther king in adolescense
And now I’m out in tokyo and europe havin sessions
The final destination used to be my main question
But then I looked and all that I was searchin for was present
The final destination used to be my main question
But then I looked and all that I was searchin for was present

And now I’m out and out on and on the road we play
Soundin off like an army ho replay
Talkin bout walkin miles of roads he paved
Travel out droppin bombs with no delay

[Overlaps with chorus]
And now I’m out and out on and on the road we play
Soundin off like an army ho replay
Talkin bout walkin miles of roads he paved
Travel out droppin bombs with no delay

[Chorus]
Music, deliver from within and it covers up everything
Music, when the melody and rythm get the moving an unity
Movin, one god one love one whole community
Do it, keep travelin on keep travelin on

[Latyrx]
Now see we rock around the clock we dont stop for nothin
Gonna take it to the top – non stop – no frontin
People listen when it drops cause it speaks to something
In they souls when they all alone spacing in the zone
Or walking they block – talking to they homey at the shop
See the point is this – even if the homey got shot
Then there still be the bump knockin in your trunk
Get ya out your slump rockin it straight off the top
I’m cockin it like ingredients thrown hap-hazardly inside a crockpot
With a magic sock schnapps a big ass book and some vodka
And pass it my way cause I’m a real big talker
And i love new experiences I’m the godfather of gettin into to trouble
On the road undercover shit – take your whole crowd if you leave em uncovered
And i believe even hammer would say my shits proper work
Not to put a damper on the underground answer shit
You dealin wit motherfu

She’s real fine my 409
She’s real fine my 409
My 409

Well I saved my pennies and I saved my dimes
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
For I knew there would be a time
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
When I would buy a brand new 409
(409, 409)
Giddy up giddy up giddy up 409
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
Giddy up 409
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
Giddy up 409
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
Giddy up 40…

Nothing can catch her
Nothing can touch my 409
409 ooooo
(Giddy up giddy up oooo)
(Giddy up giddy up oooo)
(Giddy up giddy up oooo)
(Giddy up giddy up)

When I take her to the track she really shines
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
She always turns in the fastest times
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
My four speed dual quad posi-traction 409
(409, 409, 409, 409)

Giddy up giddy up giddy up 409
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
Giddy up 409
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
Giddy up 409
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
Giddy up 40…

Nothing can catch her
Nothing can touch my 409
(409 409 409 409)
Giddy up 409
(409 409 409 409)
Giddy up 409
(409 409 409 409)

You’ve got your hair permed
You’ve got your red dress on
Screamin that second gear was such a turn on
And the fog forming on my window tells me that the morning’s here
And you’ll be gone before too long
Who taught you those new tricks?
Damn I shouldn’t start that talk
but life is one big question when your starin at the clock
And the answers always waiting at the liquor store 40oz. to Freedom
so I take that walk.

And I know that ohhhh…I’m not goin back
Oh not going back
God knows not going back
Oh not goin

(babble)

And you look so fine when you lie it just don’t show,
But I know which way the wind blows
A 40oz. to freedom is the only chance I have to feel good,
even though I feel bad

And I know that ohhhh…I’m not goin back
Oh I’m not going back
Oh God knows I’m not going back
Oh not goin

Whoa I’m not goin back
Oh not goin back
Whoa God knows I’m not goin back

(There’s like a whole one left in the freezer)

In ’36 the world’s teams
Played up, played up, and played the game
Runners, jumpers, footballers
All sieg-heilling the Fuhrer
Not so the black Americans
Who, point-blank, refused
And on returning home from this precedent
Were refused a meeting with the president
