Blueprint

Blueprint - Liberated songtekst

Je score:

Gotta work every day

I thought I saw what Malcolm Little saw

Ah-ha, thought I saw it

I thought I saw what Malcolm Little saw



[Blueprint]

I thought I saw what Malcolm Little saw inside the game

That made him wanna draw an X across his last name

Dig inside himself and make a change

The turnin point from which things could never be the same

I'm talkin liberation - it seems no matter how far you make it

Somebody's out to sabotage what you hold sacred

It doesn't mean as much to them as it means to you

They only do it cause it's the cool thing to do

But they don't understand the things you do

They don't understand what it means to you to see your dreams come true

They wasn't up late night losin sleep wit'chu

They wasn't practicin the same routine all week as you

They didn't have to earn respect in the same scene as you

On tour wearin the same thing for a week or two

At first them chicks didn't want to speak to you

But now they tryin to get backstage to sneak a peek at you

I try to tell myself, don't let it define you

Don't let the limelight you're standin in blind you

Don't internalize it, don't let it get inside you

Appreciate the love you get but don't let it guide you

Don't let those other people make your life a mess

Way too many artists build their self-esteem around the press

Cause when the press loves you and the people don't respond

You feel like the fans owe you somethin and you're gettin robbed

My man Lo said it's best to do it for the people

Cause there's no hidden agends when they speak to you

But think about what MC's do

They say things to you, because they want things from you

Now right or wrong I gotta think about what I say

Cause people overanalyze my words because I got a name

Like my opinion means more because I got some fame

But in God's eyes we're all the same



[Chorus]

I'm liberated ("People in this country, are confused")

I'm liberated ("They are fed lies, from the highest level")



[Blueprint]

Yo, you know we had the baddest motherfuckin unit back in the days son

Inkwell, Plead the 5th and Logic

[?] Shabazz, Greenhouse, Soul Position

Who's Who, The Orphange, The Minor League, Greenhouse



And if you've ever heard me talk about it you can tell

Greenhouse Effect ain't the same without Inkwell

Me and Fest don't know if we should write more songs

Or leave well enough alone and let bygones be bygones

And that'll leave you brokenhearted

And have you feelin like you can't finish what you started

Sometimes I feel like I can't lead my team well enough

And say the right things to keep 'em all inspired, it's ill

I guess that's just how it is

I've seen women kill more careers than any whack album did

When she met you, she loved your songs

But later on she made you feel like what you do is wrong

Now she tellin you you're not givin your heart

Because you can't find a way to put her before your art

They used to be attracted to rock stars

Now all the sudden, she wants you to get a desk job

Even if you don't, she she treats you funny

Even though you're the one that's bringin in the money

Ha, but God don't like ugly

And you wouldn't act that way if you really loved me

I feel it in my heart and I know I'm not wrong

You don't love me, you just hate bein alone

Your life lacks meaning when I'm gone

You can't do anything on your own but I'm gone now and



[Chorus/Outro]

I'm liberated ("So do we say that it's time, to begin anew?")

I'm liberated ("That it's time to stop goin along

with rhethoric and bullshit that you cannot endurse us")

I'm liberated ("So we say, that we recognize that freedom is indivisible")

I'm liberated ("A republic for people to have in them self respect")

("Because, that's all it's about, that's all human dignity is about")

("It's about individuals, it's about all of us")

("But it's also about, one's own self-respect")
