Artist: K-OS Album: Joyful Rebellion Song: Neutroniks Typed by: unreal_57@hotmail.com [Intro] Yeah, greetings to you all We came millions of miles to be here with you tonight And we're going to bring a man up to the microphone Right now that goes by the name of, uhhh Well he doesn't know. [Verse] Shape-shifting, uplifting Lyrical being, here to terminate the bling bling Six millions ways to live - choose none The devil's both left and right, confusion A new son, a new earth has begun Metabolical rates are changing, rearranging This rhyme is entertaining And visually stimulating, like an impressionist painting Oooh, yo come follow me What's the definition of a real MC? Is it looking hard on MTV? Or freestyling in a backstreet alley? Mohammed, it's the return of the comet I bomb it, these rappers are dropping a Hip Hop Megatron From King Street to Eglington - we don't run Cause when they've got a mic there's no need for a gun. [Hook #1 x2] And it don't stop, and it don't quit It sold four to five, so jump on it And to my people if you love your life, forget the strife And rock from night until mornin' [Hook #2 x4] Get your back up off the wall Can't afford to miss the boat when they call [Verse] If you think about a thought Then you'll see that you're timeless I'll still rhyme this, they're asleep like Linus I find this very stimulating to the mind But drives me crazy at the same time Am I this, or that? Human or black? Extraterrestrial or right side of the tracks? In fact, the truth itself can be confusive Here's a little story from my time that's allusive I knew a girl by the name of Roxanne Met her in '86 at the local bandstand (What's up?) New tracksuit, fat laces, white sneakers Movin' to the sound comin' out of the speaker Last week around Queen, and John I saw her at the corner with a business suit on I said, "What's up girl? You still check the vibe? Remember De La Soul, Diamond D, and the Tribe?" She said, "No, no! I just don't listen! That stuff on the radio's not the transmission Same beat, same lyrics, same song I listen to my old school tapes to get it on" I said, "Word up girl, I know what you mean It seems were all trapped in the glitz and the gleam But truth's just hidden for now - so don't sweat it So here's a cassette," and then I jetted [Hook #1 x4] And it don't stop, and it don't quit It sold four to five, so jump on it And to my people if you love your life, forget the strife And rock from night until mornin' [Hook #2 x4] Get your back up off the wall Can't afford to miss the boat when they call [Outro x2] Come inside - there's no use hiding Come inside, the sun is high
