Common Market Lyrics
Doors Lyrics
Make em clap to this
Attempt to motivate the activists
The buzz about town (will) produce volts to power your amp
Reign it in damp roots will blossom
A few were talkin bout the sprout when the Two were still Awesome
Sun lit the sky and identified the Scion
95 burns hot in the hearts of rap purists
Put in on, big brother, transform
My generation of b-b-bubblers has gone flat over time
Daily distractions of the 8-track mind
If I stray, punch me out, for real be on the button
But word to La Rock, swear you aint gon stop for nothin
Mecca bound with the 4-pound promisin yall the payoff
The black steel rocker throughout the age of chaos
And brothers on my jock for the way I hold it
Take it in, cousin this right heres the moment
Still steppin to the a.m.
A half pace short of dawn-break you take trade ins?
Stakes is high my mistakes ante up with the best
Stay alive, all things will change around ahh yeah
Youre test of faith will make mountains outta rock piles
The voodoo child will chop it
Jimis diggin cats Mr. Hancock. Rock It,
And affluence influenced the hustle, I cant knock it
Believe me if you wanna, but Ill tell you this much
I bet you all your dough they live longer than us, because
Only the good die at age 29
My Philosophy was born in a New York State of Mind
Confined on the island with no moral support
To make a long story short its 8 million others in the city
And you prolly aint got time for this one
You keep checkin the shine on your wrist, son
Chorus:
Bum rush the platform, son doors are closin
When times frozen, you dont wanna be late
Departin sharp for one last run to get you open
Ill forever hold my token, stand post by the gate (X2)
They said never no more,
But it seems the suckas teamed up to hold court
The 6-man providin relief for any starter
Count stats by the quarter were takin back the order
I swear upon the text of the revelation of Kings
From Hollis, Queens learned to walk without strings
Easy on the cut no mistakes allowed
Cause to me, MC means mentor the child
Step into the realm and youre bound to get taught
Tell me Grand Verbalizer; what time the lesson start?
Sharpenin my tip so my marks made heavy and dark
Indelible upon your skeletal parts
The apprentice to the mad scientist up in the lab
Its the art form these scars were born under scabs
Evidence of life represented by the ankh
The body returns to dust; the soul to the South Bronx
Chorus
