Sun Rise Above - Mon River Flow Lyrics
My grandma used to wake up before dawnTake a loaf of bread, break it up and throw it on the lawnAnd wait for the birds to come alongHer only entertainment, every single day spentLived a long life, but she suffered in enslavement'Cause my grandad had a brain like a cave manGave that to him when he grew up in the ruinsOf a modern day slave state, they stay movingIn the coal mine, take slate make cake bakeryFakery from politicians, preachers teaching false religionsAll collisions based on class get the chase onTakes on different forms, get the darn place wrongMake songs kick about *****ing 'cause the day's longNine to five, six to ten, stick you with the kids againWinter then spring summer brings on a picture then thisYo, I flow like the Mon RiverOhio, Allegheny, locks and damns can't contain these barsThat I float down the moat like a bargeMaking waves like marchers on May DayI miss Nook, kiss cooks when I go to dinerKnow a sinner's living when a prude says he's sinningGiving change to a beggar 'cause I do a little betterDoesn't hurt me if he buys booze, dying makes you thirstyCurse these quotes damn, cream of the crop but I'm flotsamBroker than a trash man, I'm cashing in coke cansNickle pounds, born in the storm of the trickle downDog eat dog, Heinz, I'm in a pickle nowKicking sounds at you, firing iron in a different townListen how New York to Pusan I get aroundLitter pile gutter talk, word to mother other thoughtLove a hot brew, hate a few, plus I cuss a lottrestles rot out of bridges, not just outer edgesRoads falling into river, infrastructure get the pictureDigi cam, in Japan, drank ate with Miki andThe whole crew, Right To Be Lazy, I'm a busy manYo, I flow like the Mon RiverOhio, Allegheny, locks and damns can't contain these barsThat I float down the moat like a bargeMaking waves like marchers on May DayI'm not a populist my motto is to knock you out your ocular socketsRocket fuel, stopping hip hop innocuousBinoculars peeping you sleeping in the metropolisWindow shades are obsolete when wind blows off the streetDemocracy been hypocrisy since the AcropolisTopple this rash, bash capital in the proper senseMonstrous impoverishment along side of opulenceOccupants of substandard housing get your documentsReady to make confetti, any way to make a better lifeFeather light, float away know to say nothing when I'm bluffingThrough a job interview, in a miniscule placeJust a phase, got time? In a minute you'llRealize, living in a war and battles been a fewPlentiful blood drip rubber for your tennis shoesBeen a true rebel many days ain't been slayed yetNot that they haven't tried, I just haven't died yetYo, I flow like the Mon RiverOhio, Allegheny, locks and damns can't contain these barsThat I float down the moat like a bargeMaking waves like marchers on May Day
