Intro: Big Rube
Conceive true deception multiplied a million fold
Visualize the yin and yang in a battle so intense
that we get em confused
The resident evil specialize in misconstruing
We wanna be at a presidential level what are we doing?
Foolin ourself clownin ourself playin ourself
By not bein ourself
We can’t babble no more than we can bob our head offbeat
Nimrod by the time we forty cause we can’t get our meat
While we ask no reason for the misplacement of the season
look at the picture that’s painted
Tainted as the mind who’s blinded to the point
where Sodomites get all the rights
We fall for fights with fisticuffs
Get pissed enough to miss the bus
It disgusts me to see my folks run up on
I say stand up on deception of time all of Revelations
And recognize this mind on the reality of horror
known as mankind
Jesus and his twelve disciples make thirteen
A righteous number of righteous men
Even Judas the Betrayer came true in the end
The Devil say the end is the beginning
They teach that we were the product of incest
Invest no level of self into their system of Paganomics
Stand with us and don’t look back upon it
Just face this mindstate
Otherwise Babylon…
(My memories of yesterday…)
cut and scratched: “Ninety-six gonna be that year…”
Verse One: Andre
I bet you never heard of a playa with no game
Told the truth to get what I want but shot it with no shame
Take this music dead serious while others entertain
I see they makin they paper so I guess I can’t complain… or can I?
I feel they disrespectin the whole thang
Them hooks like sellin dope to black folks
And I choke when the food they serve ain’t tastin right
My stomach can’t digest it even when I bless it
I’m confessin one mo’ lesson from the South we in the house tonight
Now hootie who wants to oppose? Suppose
We rolls through Headland and Delowe
where me and my niggaz surpassed the flow
And got down for ours like hind catchers
My mind catches flashbacks to the black past
while my close niggaz laugh at
The Southern slang, figure ways and mojo chicken wangs
I grew up on booty shake we did not know no better thang
So go ‘head and, diss it, while real hop-hippers listen
Started by Afrikan Bambaata, so you and your potnah
Gather your thoughts
Musical Interlude: Debra Killings
(Something’s gotta change
Songs of laughter and happiness comes from teardrops to rain
When daring despair, fortune may lead in my day
And slight breezes of longing finally move my way
Like memories of yesterday…)
Verse Two: Big Boi
Uhh, born Antwan Patton but my potnahs they call me Big Boi
It’s the nigga the B-I-G, be speakin the truth not talkin that shit boi
I’m thinkin of checkin my traps and bustin my raps and throwin them craps
Seven-eleven is no convenience, you pumpin your gas, they’re watchin yo’ back
For the robbin crew, thinkin they robbin you, you must be cautious
To stand up on yo’ game and pimpin these crows you must be flawless
Like Mortal Kombat, but fuckin these wombats got you dizzy
My nigga you know of I wanna be playin but runnin up on me like you miss me
You catchin the wrong vibe, packin yo’ shit and rollin yo’ eyes back
Flexin up on the corner tossin your dice and rollin your Cadillac
But man it seems I’m reachin out and touchin the wrong nigga
Don’t expect me to be pimpin get your index off the trigger
As we bust, us, we leavin em in the dust
So keep that clean up out of your nose I said my piece and then I hush
As the candidate keeps flippin… niggaz dippin…
Musical Interlude
Verse Three: Andre, Big Boi
I really be love it we are gathered to life
So pissed to lather we come clean
Some issues need to be addre
Once we were lovers
Just lovers we were
Oh what a lie
And once we were dreamers
Juat dreamers we were
Both you and I
Now I see you’re just somebody
Who wasted my time and money
What a lie
You and I
chorus
What about your
your 10 000 promises
That you gave to me
Your 10 000 promises
that you promised me
Once I could handle the truth well
the truth was you anf I
But time after time all the
Promises turned out
To be your lies
So now, now I see your just somebody
who wasted my time and money
what a lie
you and I
chorus
You said I’ll take you back
But I’ll close the door
Cause I don’t want 10,000 more
Ohh……….
10,000 promises yeah
Ohhh……..
10,000 promises you gave to me
chorus
Once we were lovers
Just lovers we were
Oh, you and I
What a lie

I’ve got to say one thing for you
When it comes to letting me down
You’ve always got some new way to
Tear me up when you come around
I’d have though that well had run dry by now
How many times can you make me fall apart
You could write a book about it
no one should love without it
1001 ways to break somebody’s heart
I wonder if you just came back
So you can say goodbye again
After all the times you’ve done that
Why do I still let you in
How can it be over if it never ends
How many ways can you find to hurt me
How many times can you make me fall apart
You could write a book about it
No one should love without it
1001 ways to break somebody’s heart
How many ways can you find to hurt me
How many times can you make me fall apart
You could write a book about it
No one should love without it
1001 ways to break somebody’s heart

It’s about this constant addiction
About this greater demand
As I reach for the laugh with only seconds left, I’m getting deeper
It’s about this constant addiction
About this greater demand
As I reach for the laugh with only seconds left, I’m getting deeper
And did you say that you were happy
Cuz I won’t leave you alone
I need the push to elude to things I have to say
To what I have to say
[chorus]
There’s a time and a place we hide behind
An alternate face
When the freak needs a nurse, you comply
With the fools in mind
There’s a time and a place we hide behind
An alternate face
We’re the people who fuck with your mind
When you sleep inside
I can take you away, to a better place, to a better time
I can take you awaty, to a better place…
Let’s talk about you and me tonight
Cuz I’d really like to take you home
Let’s talk about you and me tonight
Cuz I’d really like to take you home
Cuz I need the push to elude to things I have to say…
[chorus]
And remember the times that we’ve shown you the way
And remember the times that we’ve shown you the way
We can change your mind

When you ran ’round the block
And you thought you were going to die
You said you’d never run again
And then you had another try
And you felt a little better
‘Cause above all else
You know that no-one made you do it
You decided for yourself
And it gave you time to think
And a chance to unwind
You thought by going out running
You had wisely spent your time
For whilst the only aim at work
Was your take-home pay
Running meant you’d done
Something useful with your day
And you found your weaknesses
And tested your strengths
And above all else
You decided for yourself
Is it alright like that? |
Tried to find your face
1000 pictures flipped but yours just ran away
something in the air
it lacks a special touch
a smile thats left wide open sit down next to Russ
its ok
laughed it over
thought about it for a little while
Cant you throw me
outside
if I stepped over
all these things that you didnt like
keep them all under light
Will you rise above
My 10th grade love
Dont know how to fake
Im kinda stupid bout you guess you cant relate
one thing is clear
youve been lost in me
for such a long time now ill get some room to breathe
thats ok
having five stars
hanging down over top of those
dark brown earth shoes
i like
Waiting for you
at the place with a cigarette
stamped all over your lies
Will you rise above
my 10th grade love
Will you rise above
my 10th grade love |
