[Intro:]
|
Yo, (here we go, come on)
|
Greetings to you all (here we go, come on)
|
We came millions of miles to be here with you tonight (here we go, come on)
|
And we're gonna bring a man up to the microphone right now (here we go, come on)
|
And goes by the name of uh, well he doesn't know (check it out come on yo)
|
[Verse 1: K-Os]
|
Shape shifTING, uplifTING, lyrical vein here to terminate the bling bling
|
Six million ways to live, choose none
|
The devil's both left and right confuSION
|
A new sun, a new earth has begun
|
Metabolical rates are chanGING, rearranGING
|
This rhyme is entertainING and visually stimulating like an impressionist painTING
|
Oooh, yo come follow me, what's the definition of a real MC?
|
Is it looking hard on MTV?
|
Or freestyling in a back street all-ey?
|
Muhammad, it's the return of the common
|
I'm bombing these rappers and dropping a hip hop megatron
|
From king street to eglington, we don't run
|
Cause when they got a mic, there's no need for a gun
|
[Chorus: x2: K-Os and background voice]
|
And it don't stop, and it don't quit
|
It's all fortified so jump on it
|
And to my people if you love your life, forget the strife
|
We rock from night, until morning
|
[K-Os x4]
|
Get your back up off the wall
|
Can't afford to miss the boat when they call
|
[Verse 2: K-Os]
|
If you think about a thought, then you'll see that you're timeless
|
House the rhymeless, they're asleep like Linus
|
I find this, very stimulating to the mind
|
But drives me crazy at the same time
|
Am i this or that? human or black?
|
Extra terrestrial or right side of the tracks?
|
In fact, the shoes itself could be confusive
|
Here's a little story from the time that's illusive
|
I knew a girl by the name of roxanne, met her in eighty-six
|
At the local band stand
|
New track suit, fat laces, white sneakers
|
Moving to the sound coming out of the speaker
|
Last week around queen and YONGE, i saw her at the corner with a business suit on
|
I said "what's up girl? you still check the vibe?
|
Remember de la soul? diamond d? and the tribe?"
|
She said "no, no, i just don't listen
|
That stuff on the radio blocked the transmission
|
Same beat, same lyrics, same song
|
I listen to my old school tapes to get it on"
|
I said "word up girl? i know what you mean
|
It seems we're all trapped in the glitz and the gleam
|
The truth's just hidden for now, so don't sweat it
|
So here's a cassette" and then i jetted!
|
[Chorus x4]
|
[K-Os x4 in the background of the final chorus]
|
Come inside, there's no use hiding
|
Come inside, the sun is high
|
[K-Os x4]
|
Get your back up off the wall
|
Can't afford to miss the boat when they call
|
[Background vocal]
|
High, high, high, high, high, high, high, high
|
High, high, high, high, high, high, high, high
|
[K-Os x2]
|
Come inside, there's no use hiding
|
Come inside, the sun is high
|
