The Genius (GZA/Genius) - Living Foul lyrics

Your rating:

Critical...

 You're living foul, things are getting wild
 It's difficult to raise a child
 Cause growin up in a lost environment
 Every day becomes a new experiment
 Now we are faced with problems
 But if we come together we can solve them
 Before we start to solving, here's a sample
 Who's coming foward to set the example
 Inflation, starvation
 Surviving takes a strong nation
 Those who like to bring about static
 Be aware of the true Asiatic
 What you see was predicted before
 We were already warned of this bloody drug war
 Wherever you sell it wherever you go
 Ya still being clocked by the cops, ya know
 You're paid by the hours, they see time flies
 While your brain's being showered by a bunch of lies
 You say I'm no slave where's the lock and chain
 Hmmm, on your ignorant brain
 Skip to ya loo with your High Pro Glow
 Ya not stim off life, ya stimulated off blow
 Or the new improved, ask beaming Jack
 Criza, criza, crack

 Chorus: You're living foul, living foul

 My people you were forced then brought
 Stripped from your jewels brainwashed and then taught
 To hate, deceive and dislike each other
 Separating themselves, you're not my brother
 Sit up at home for a mystery
 Face-valuing things that you can't see
 Can't taste can't smell, hear or feel
 But senses prove everything is real
 I'm here to present a positive way
 If strong you'll accord if weak you'll stray
 Drug users are stuck in the mud
 Another 20th century modern day chud
 These cannibal humanoid undernourished dwellers
 Just took your check to the heroin cellar
 Dope addicts, that walk and roam
 Might have Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
 AIDS, doesn't come from me
 Cause I've studied and learned my history
 It had to be something evil to bring that about
 This is showing and proving beyond a shadow of a doubt

 Chorus: You're living foul, living foul

 When you wake up, to a brand new day
 And you think about your salary or your pay
 You think of negative things, should I get involved
 Caught in crime, serving time, that's problems to solve
 So you think about it, say that you must quit
 Smoke a blunt, then you do the same old shhhh
 And while ya high you don't truly know why
 You spent your cash so that you can buy
 Some herb (word) and some Old E (yeah)
 A fifty cent Philly so the herb can be
 Rolled up modern style to what we call a blunt
 Know the facts is true don't try to front
 Or stray away from the positive message in the song
 That's only showing and proving you're not strong
 And the strong is what we need today
 Why? They go the opposite way

 Chorus: Of living foul, you're living foul

 The words right now flowing off my tongue
 Is for the old, the young, the one's that's strong
 Those who are worshippers of diamonds and gold
 You should not be bought and you should not be sold
 Those who always want but does not need
 is slightly controlled by the hands of greed
 If you rob, steal, backstab and abduct
 Sooner or later you will self-destruct
