The people at the label say they want something to repeat
But all my people really want something for the streets
So keep hooking
Hey ya'll what's goin on?
So keep hooking
It's time yo word is bond
So keep hooking
Let's do what we must do
So keep hooking
ah ah ah let's hear for
Keep keep
Who can make it up, dark age is here in rap
And the constant conversation has been let's bring it back

[Verse 1]
And it, and it begins, he walks outside for a cigarette break
And thinks how many cigarettes does it take
He takes a long drag with the sun in his eye
He squints, he thinks he starts to sigh
Sometimes he cry
When he think about his girlfriend on his side
She held him down, she made him better
Fought the love, through the fucked up weather
And she thinkin about her life

Gettin up
C'mon we gettin up
ooh we gettin up
ah,yeah shorty work it
where you goin

Sent you a message, sent you a email
hasty decisions we made still prevail
both needed breaks, we both needed to bail

walkin through the corridors of my mind
the hideaways and jokes and things were good times
memories certainly, yes they still bind

still a common man, oh yeah that's for sure

(verse I)
Sometimes I phase out when I look at the screen
And I think about my chance for me to intervene
And its up to me to bring back the hopeful
feeling in the music that you can quote
not saying that I hate it
'cause yeah, I kinda dig it
But what good is an ear if a Q-Tip isn't in it

So this year get in
and inform your friend
your boy from the hood
is on that shit again

Get down
(make it easy)
good God make it easier now
(good God make it easier now)
Get down
(man and woman get down)
good God make it easier now
(good God make it easier now)
Get down
(man and woman get down)
a dooga dooga dooga dooga duh doo

Man and woman be patrollin the earth
puttin shit in the game
citizens of the world, we runnin out

precious time is a grain of sand
ignored by the hand

My brother Shaka would have wanted me to do it like this
so raise the glasses for all the lost ones in your life.

Dilla dawg and master wow, what up with emmy,
is well to propel with the spirit of the mic.

Even if you have one person with you when its hard,
that makes it easy, celebrate them let know just who they are.

Because of these experiences i have some control

wait
its you
and at the end of it all its you
and at the end
its you
at the end of it all its you
its you
its you
at the end of it all its you
its you
its you
at the end of it all

lookin for how i see her
when i finally realized couldn't believe it
i couldn't, even swallow
had a lump in my throat my stomach hollow
i had a notion that things were fishy
but everything was fine so i'd be pissy
