We've all been burnt by the world
our buildings stand tall as technology swirls
where's our passion for life?
racisms got me down
sexisms all around
stealing all our joy
who's behind this ploy?

BABA OJE IS THE OLDEST ONE

ooo

(Chorus)

Many can get the club real hyped excite the people and rock a mic but

I need some time to ease my mind
Thrusted in a world that I don't know
from my mamas lips between my mamas hips
I'm cuddled by her hands because she understands
it's that bond that keeps the movement movin' on.
Life is surrounded with so many insecurities
back stabbin' is like breathing when in poverty.
I try to make my sanity, with the insane

Grab the hook, grab the line
Grab the bait, grab the box and wait
Tackle and shackle the topic the faculty has chosen
Chosen by many, chosen by plenty, chosen by any
Man or woman who understand
The topic that's known and
Go by the dock flock and clock the topic
As I drop my hook and get a bite

Lately I've been in a life like limbo

Looking out of a smudged up window

We're not sure where our lives are going

Friends, it's summer outside but yet we're snowed in

She is so cool and yet so fine
She's a really different girl but I don't mind
not a lot of jewels but she can sing while playing her guitar you should hear sing
she 'll talk all night til she reach the universe
you and her universe yup that's right but I don't mind
cause she's a one and only "A"
so if it seems you want her more than you're used to
don't be alarmed its just her charm

(And the people go-Hey ahh)
Mix the sunshine add some rain
A pinch of loving sow a seed and...
The grass can be greener on the other side
( And the people go-Hey ahh)

(Speech)
Friends of mine worry about they welfare

Girl just take off yo socks Let me lick on yo feet
I’ll rub yo body & watch you roll yo eyes to the ceiling
Won’t you lay on down Let my face be yo linen
C’mon and sho me yo ways This is our honeymoon day
We’ve been waiting for this day
Let’s just free our bodies like the last day of living
girl we can be real naughty there’s no need for forgiving
Won’t ya dance for me Let my face be your mirror

Another morning kneelin' at my altar
The day is faced with a bunch of grace
On my case in this worldly rat race
To keep the pace I depend on ancestors and God
And by the way my real name is Todd.
That's how my dead ancestors address me
That is those that knew me as that.
My African name hasn't been revealed yet.

( chorus )
Come on down to
To our world and
Do the la la la
( Speech )
We are More Long lasting than most
Come and go as we please like Casper the ghost
Flows so butter some asking for toast

We used to dream about changing the world
with a style that was universal
real and commercial
heal and immerse you in the waters
tired of seeing lost black sons and daughters
but in 94 we slipped a notch, no juice over the years
couldn’t piss the pot
hip hop went insane but 10 years later back in the game

Here, have a dollar,
in fact no brotherman here, have two
Two dollars means a snack for me,
but it means a big deal to you
Be strong, serve God only,
know that if you do, beautiful heaven awaits
That's the poem I wrote for the first time
I saw a man with no clothes, no money, no plate

See I was resting at the park minding my own
business as I kick up the treble tone
on my radio tape player box, right
just loud enough so folks could hear it's hype, see ?
Outta nowhere comes the woman I'm dating
investigation maybe she was demonstrating
But nevertheless I was pleased
My day was going great and my soul was at ease

My skin could never no curse, no it can't
I wear it like a prom tuxedo
I wear my hair as if its the sun and...
each and every dread is a powerful light ray
never wanted things to be in reverse cuz
GOD makes waves wise travellers so
my views of this world are ever growing
thus ever growing is the way one must view me

It's been years since we blessed stages
Together, we covered bases together and whether
We all agreed or not 20/20 vision is hindsight, and
Now we got that so we done got back.
Some of our soldiers have fallen so many years of toiling
Touring tears falling naw pouring jaded from the industries
Jabs a lil slower like Muhammad Ali but still we able to last so
We go in the studio it felt new but yet in a good way it felt old

Tennessee Lyrics (by Arrested Development)

Lord, I've really been real stressed, down and out, losing ground.
Although I am black and proud, problems got me pessimistic.
Brothers and sisters keep messin' up, why does it have to be so damn tuff?
I don't know where I can go to let these ghosts out of my skull.
My grandma past my brother's gone, I never at once felt so alone.
I know you're supposed to be my steering wheel, not just my spare tire.

United minds of America
make your vocal chords reach the clouds and
touch the crowd of folks that overstand there's no jokes
we must network together as one &
tell the oppressor we'll take no less than
total justice a social setting yo I'm bettin'
we can stop new world order
start servin liberty may I take your order

Yeah can I have a big bimbo box
meal hold the bimbo sauce
two super sized freaky fries and
a make me shiver shake
(I know who this is...how you doing?)
I'm doing good sweetheart how are you?
(I'm O.K. anyway drive around to
the 2nd window please)
