lyrical sobriety
Singer:mcmorris, tim
what's coming on the horizon
waking up to tomorrow's life
to find that the answer is gone
i'm here to bring a flow that puts a chill down your neck
ya' the kind you get when you start to feel that you can connect
they begin to take shape and bring an image into your mind
one that helps you to see cause in this world there's so many lies
and so many people livin' in a phony disguise
so now i'm here to help you out and bring about their decline
by given you a rhyme that leaves you with a tingling spine
that reacts with your head
what seemed like it was dead
with your hand up and repeat what i said
to stop the media money makers that ruin society
the ones who try to put a stop to lyrical sobriety
and now there's so many complications
and many people now in screwed up situations
because of what we let walk into our lives
through our ears and our eyes
and yet we still act surprised
does anyone care. i think not cause' i still hear the guns go
another mother lost her son
wonder what he would have done
but now he'll never have a chance to grow and be someone
and as i'm sitting pennin' out this rhyme i can't help but feel
for the all the victims of our culture that we have created
that's loves the brutal display of racism
and i know a thousand songs
but we don't change; we don't listen to the message they bring
i guess it makes a thousand-and-one
i wish now that i was done
but really i've just begun
to dig into the corruption that's systematically run
by the music corporations that are plaguing our nation
that simply take a seat and watch the death of young aspiration
i tried to bring this message when i did hurting land
but now i see that you don't learn
or maybe don't understand
maybe the music was too slow
but in a different way to reach all those who wouldn't extend
a kind word of gratitude some got nothing but attitude
we're not on the same latitude
i shove it down your throat
cause' you shove it down mine
i have to sit and listen to your garbage rhyme after rhyme
violence and glorified crime
same old thing that's on the radio all of the time
so though you came to get yours
and if this makes it to the airwaves man that'll be fine
i don't expect it though cause' i'm only keeping it real
i only sing and rap about the true things that i feel
someone has to bring flow that will keep you alert
someone to tell it like it is
and now the radio plays a song and all of us will sing along
sitting back while were sedated
with the beat of the new song
they spent a million dollars on
a brand new artist once a week
just pluck another from the street
and children fall into the game; they grow up only wanting fame
to be the people that they see
is what they're fed and now they'll be a victim of society
and later as the kids go up we wonder why they self-destruct
