Bright moments...
|
|
Bright moments always come back Vivid.
|
|
The 5th great was epic citywide test pressure
|
The pre-crack era!
|
|
Mr. Schollmen, what a prick, attitude matches wardrobe, uglier then sin.
|
|
This is Bedstuy 82'..
|
9th floor 3 tiny rooms one view.
|
Buck-town, Roosevelt house
|
they green grass is green
|
our green grass is brown.
|
|
Shots rang my phone wasn't touchtone
|
a heavy beef in the street
|
ET had to flee
|
|
grey heavens! good grief!
|
hungry bellies!
|
bright gold on they teeth!
|
|
The windows on the Ave look like sad eyes
|
they fix their sharp gaze on you when you pass by
|
and if you dare to stand, you can see em cry
|
|
you can watch em scowl
|
feel them prowl
|
while and study every inch about you
|
fast math measuring what you amount to
|
|
The laughter, the screams!
|
the numeral, the song of Psalms
|
the book of dreams!
|
|
ends don't meet where the arms can't reach
|
mean streets
|
even when its free it ain't cheap.
|
on going saga, terminal diagnosis,
|
basic survival requires super heroics.
|
|
No space in the budget for a cape.
|
it's when you gotta fly by night to save the day
|
|
crash-landings routinely happen
|
some survive, others never rise from the ashes.
|
|
watching asphalt and observing the Sabbath.
|
creates an ecstatic and there you have it
|
|
from teenage love
|
praying in tongue
|
strange fruit, batty boots and native drums
|
|
from hence I come
|
so here we go
|
signs and wonders all along the road
|
|
some lies open
|
some lies close
|
some stretchers role with no lies at all.
|
some riders don't know what they riding for
|
|
hands on the wheel and their mind is gone
|
wherever you ride, whatever your lane,
|
this road called life is a beautiful thing
|
|
And we are alive in amazing times
|
delicate hearts, diabolical minds
|
|
revelations, hatred, love and war.
|
and more and more and more and more
|
and more of less than ever before
|
it's just too much more for your mind to absorb
|
|
It's scary like hell, but there's no doubt
|
we can't be alive in no time but... NOW!!!
|
|
It's just another shot to the heart,
|
It's just a sure shot in the dark,
|
It's just another place in the stars.
|
Wonders on everyside, life in marvelous times,
|
life in marvelous times.
|
|
BANG.
|

|
EVERYWHERE.
|
|
All over the world, you can feel it.
|
ALL over the world, FEEL THE spirit rise, everywhere.
|
|
It's just a sure shot to the heart,
|
it's just a sure shot in the dark,
|
It's just another place in the stars.
|
Wonders on every side, life in marvelous time,
|
Life in marvelous times.
|
|
|
