Brother Ali - Pay Them Back Lyrics
Blood on beatsTears have been shedLives have been lostBlood has been spilledBlood on beatsDamn, look at em sittin there, cats missin their chancePissin their pants for opportunities and disappear into a bar stoolPardon you for thinkin I forgot aboutThe way that children act when the stars come outIt would be too much like right for them to tune up their sight and thenPursue something tight within, the blue ugly life they're inLiked your grimace but I must admit it's been a whileSince my outer adult disciplined your inner childI've taught you the limits now when I crack your slumberI expect you to say, "Thank you sir, can I have another?"Your chance to wonder is up holler enough talkinSo they won't be caught off guard when I'm knockin the dust off emPlus tossin em in a moshpit, my village sacrifices virgin rappersWho don't do the Rites of PassageCurl em backwards till they faces touch they assesMail em off the Paraguay way and don't insure the packageBurned your vermin asses, learned your nervous habitsIn turn my current status lefts serpents swervin backwardsI rock parties where half the crowd is rappersAnd analyze my diction as if their opinion mattersI splatter patterns of poetic eloquenceMutterin bone shudderin utterin sense, they fluter and twitchThe ironic part of it is, I ain't tryin to scare these kidsJust tryin to connect them to the heritageBeneath the outer layer the train is blackYou just don't disrespect the people that lay the tracksYou love this human expression and they gave you thatAnd so the least y'all can do is try and pay em back(2x)I said beneath the outer layer the train is blackYou just don't disrespect the people that lay the tracksYou love this human expression and they gave you thatAnd so the least y'all can do is try and pay em backYou ain't the first, you will not be the lastContributeDo your shit, step the ***** offYou're not half as important as you think you areBlood on beatsBlood on beatsBlood on beats
