De La Soul

De La Soul - I Am I Be songtekst

Je score:

I am Posdnous
 I be the new generation of slaves
 here to make papes to buy a record exec rakes
 the pile of revenue I create
 But I guess I don't get a cut cuz my rent's a month late
 Product of a North Carolina cat
 who scratched the back of a pretty woman named Hattie
 Who departed life just a little too soon
 and didn't see me grab the Plug Tune fame
 As we go a little somethin' like this
 look ma, no protection
 Now I got a daughter named Ayana Monay
 And I can play the cowboy to rustle in the dough
 so the scenery is healthy where her eyes lay
 I am an early bird but the feathers are black
 so the apples that I catch are usually all worms
 But it's a must to decipher one's queen
 from a worm who plays groupie and spread around the bad germ
 I cherish the twilight
 I maximize, my soul is the right size
 I watch for the power to run out on the moon
 (And that'll be sometime soon)
 Faker than a fist of kids
 speakin that they're black
 When they're just niggas trying to be Greek
 Or some tongues who lied
 and said "We'll be natives to the end"
 Nowadays we don't even speak
 I guess we got our own life to live
 Or is it because we want our own kingdom to rule?
 Every now and then I step to the now
 for now I see back then I might have acted like a fool
 Now I won't apologize for it
 This is not a bunch of Bradys
 but a bunch of black man's pride
 Yet I can safely say
 I've never played a sister by touching where her private parts reside
 I've always walked the right side of the road
 If I wasn't making song I wouldn't be a thug selling drugs
 But a man with a plan
 and if I was a rug cleaner
 betcha Pos'd have the cleanest rugs I am.
 Verse 2
 The Plug Two brand with the flavour
 in the flute watch the sniffin'
 so a sack of shows in demand
 I read the diction from the second page
 I got the one-two gauge
 baritone to the izm fan
 Trees fall so I can play ground with my ink
 So let me need ya to my ems go
 I push the infinite and carry it
 My carrier's the three over one
 so my pluggins already know
 Lick shots with moo
 catch the boo
 from a ghost in the heckling crowd
 if I give a foot
 Jack Ville caught a spill
 when a still came from my mouth
 I brought a head down south
 I don't check for the noose and the neck
 So I never tell my ems
 that finesse is knocking at my door
 I choose to run from the rays of the burning sun
 and dodge a needle washing up upon a sandy shore
 I bring the element H with the 2
 so ya owe me what's coming when I'm raining on your new parade
 It's just mind over matter
 and what matters is
 that the mind isn't guided by the punished shade
 I keep the walking on the right side
 but I won't judge the next who handles walking on the wrong
 Cuz that's how he wants to be
 No difference, see
 I wanna be like the name of this song I am
 Verse 3
 I am Posdnous
 I be the new generation of slaves
 Here to make papes to buy a record exec rakes
 the pile of revenue I create
 but I guess I don't get a cut cuz my rent's a month late
 The deeds of a natural
 are seeds that are no longer planted
 so the famine in the mind is strong
 Tactics of another plane is now proven sane
 Sane enough to let you know from within this song
 I stabilize many cableized viewers
 So my occupation's known
 But not why I occupy
 And that is to bring the peace
 not in the flower but the As-Salaam Alaikum in the third I am
