we did it again
blackalicious
once upon a time reality was black and white
couldn't fit in with the younger kids and parties after nightfall
felt like they was givin' instructions how to handle life
while i felt my way through darkness and i didn't have a light-bulb
then i felt a thing something that would ignite all
energy within above my head appeared a light-bulb
soon enough the mic called
soon enough the nightclub
gathered as i rapidly knew that i found the right one
rappers falling like some
but i don't know to me this shit is like fun
got into a love affair and music is my wife done
took me on a journey deeper than the sewage pipes run
now and then some might come
fronting like the light gone
dimmer till the inner forces
inside me deliver one more nice one
feel how fresh and new it is again
give it all to make it happen
still shining till its done
but the story has only just begun
i can give it to you raw or give it to you fly
so eccentric with the penmanship
intricate with this i spit the gift
i've been sentenced to this pen since i was just a little guy
working hard to elevate my penmanship
i would order garbage rappers with no talent end with this
when it comes to lyricism it begins and ends with this
every time they try to cut us out we send them into bliss
this music love affair is infinite
i'm in your home and on your internet
so when this is done we'll take a break and do it all again
every time you think we finished then we doin' it again
who it is intuitive and you would
rhymes are fusing with the music get me lucid with the pen
using rhythm too original and finick kinda mc
the career of rappers who do not identify with them
that are getting high up in the sky and spitting flyer gems
so you can not rhyme again
i grin as they enter the grave they lie up in
i be spewin' it like them though
it stupid to pretend you could do it like your men been
