We the modern day folk singers, even if The old folk singers think we're just dope slingers Ode to the idiom and the flow gideon My ear a melody net yet there's no singing em Some are not kidding they're puzzled at how we talk I tell it's not talk, like cheese and chalk And we walk without fear in the ground we tread And it's flawed cos you're hearing all the thoughts goin round my head Where paradox and respect wed And I work to my catalogue not my nest egg And the wordplay is direct and unashamed Taken in all the frame with a ridiculous name So many of us made a claim Some soared so high Plenty fell off like a shot down plane The wind blowing your bridge over troubled waters down But don't worry we'll sort it out
And You've got to be engaged You're not just listening to your mates We're trying to save the world A brave new world, I love that bitter taste And you've got to be engaged It's not a grudge match every day It's just life in all it's phases Cos no folk song ever saved us
Like A Tribe Called Quest said, it's all expected Things will get hectic, change is a threat like when Dylan went electric Cos we all affected, directed, defected In puffy chested but then out dejected No massage for every bad back It isn't Hollywood, it's just Mad Max It isn't the serum to get rid of your anthrax No Mother Teresa it's just the beat of a damn track I don't really care for half of these MCs But some of them are like the path of a set-piece All of it and more we can't let you get sleep No relationship was started on a wet dream So we knock down doors and we rock our jaws And we don't turn our back if it's not our cause Stand and stare upward form the ground floor Get up, what you down for?
And You've got to be engaged You're not just listening to your mates We're trying to save the world A brave new world, I love that bitter taste And you've got to be engaged It's not a grudge match every day It's just life in all it's phases Cos no folk song ever saved us
And You've got to be engaged You're not just listening to your mates We're trying to save the world A brave new world, I love that bitter taste And you've got to be engaged It's not a grudge match every day It's just life in all it's phases Cos no folk song ever saved us
It's really not that profound, the way a phrase Knocks you down to others it's nothing more than a background Some are weak at the knees at that sound I rewind the song and sit down now Constantly flip between the FM stations The jocks spruik the next sensations But I don't care about the next sensations I'm sorry if I left you waitingTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
