Fugees - Some Seek Stardom слова песни
[Lauryn Hill]AhhhhhH!Check the crippled man, sittin in the churchMy conscience hurts, flesh like me hits the dirtShe`s paralyzed from her feet to her thighsAnd the man who pulled the trigger didn`t even lose his necktieHi/I check Jimmy cuttin hair at the barbershopHe plays the bass guitar, like David plays the harpHis knowledge name is Greek, cause whenever he speaksHe`s got the wisdom of King Solomon bags in his eyes from no sleepSometimes he thought of the fame in Madison Square GardenSo some seek stardom, but they forget HarlemBut seeking first of all the kingdom of God is what my pops told meSo if I fall, could the choir catch meI flew away, on a mountain, got tempted by SatanGot bitten by a cobra, but the Lord took my venomSo who`s side am I on? I`m on the righteousAlways check the lyrics, no time to contradictChorus:Some seek stardom, then they forget Harlem (3X)They/brothers/sisters/families/people/we/brothers keep their pockets full, but their souls run emptyWell aiyyo family I beseech you, in the hopes that I may reach youMy mother taught me one day that this mid-day would come somedayBorn to talk that jive, with peaky hair grown wildAnd teachers disliked me, cause I knew where my culture beSo now yeah mom I read history, I can`t neglect my passion seeRock it`s kind of new to me, cause my true love was poetryWhite was good and bad was black but black was just a massa lackeybuilt for that B. Nimble Jack and I`d like to save you from the wickedD-Dog clear I wouldn`t be wetThe black to mourn, tomorrow`s deathThe evil things, glad that I, while angels wrote this violence why?Help me make me comprehend my black bezerk and why cast itTime to blaze the angels nappy heads are braided that you make mesee what`s hard for me that don`t make you fleewhen I enter your vicinity, you see my God ain`t never after meSo yo I be wised up with GreekTo go and be, the last and good and see what`s wrong with meand through your insecurity of me and my abilitySo bredren won`t you let me be or has thou asked to much from thyto tell the truth and not to lie? Oh my...Chorus 2XBut as I grew, I knew cause the master told mefrom a baby to a woman from a woman to a babyLife is so short, hardcore becomes hard-corpseStep in a coffin where the money`s no longer the source*singing*There we go, there we go, there we goI got mine now won`t you get yours, we never open doorsso we neglect, and don`t protect the ones that`s notpeople never really seem to careAnd then they cry out, "My people! Why aren`t we treated equal?"As we flee, we flee our own communitiesWe leave our family in povertyAnd then we blame it on another, so family please recoverOh c`mon please come now with you can come with me now and blow nowif you want to, we`re through...Chorus 4X
