[Chali 2na] J5 Blackalicious Yo [All] We take a journey through music right now We take a journey through music right now [Verse 1: Chali 2na] Yo, when music temptations can't be resisted Fifths will be inconsistent make me a misfit Listed as a phenomenon I got an oncoming bomb Which is perfection and flexin' like I spent time in Nam The beat is on and its nice and easy Instrumentals blendin' like cinnamon rice and peas And life's a breeze when you don't have to kick it to find Contemplate the creation with Blackalicious and I Tuna fish is full of musical entities past gone Tryin' to hold fast and grasp hits like last fall So last long flash on keepin' the past strong We grab songs and rhythm so people can catch on Yes My mic moniker, momma I twice promised her Love life, if music is truly your wife honor her Burnin' to your thermometer stretch a million kilometers Connect a population of Earth to one another for real [Hook] Music, deliver from within and it covers up everything Music, when the melody and rhythm get to moving and unity Movin', one force one love one whole community Do it, keep travelin' on keep travelin' on [Verse 2: Gift of Gab] Underground or overboard overlord oh my lord More and more pure sonic overjoyed soarin' towards shores Unseen, uncharted bout to get explored Warriors breakin' all the limits twistin' the laws Now who said that underground is only just one more I'm sellin' time and space and matter, making hula-hoops of Saturn's rings And bring my bing, in sync, to think That these was meant to be writ and be spit, so ever be writ We on some destiny (shh shhh) we just a piece of this We offer testament of every cultural element Ever sent to us by the ancestors as though we manifest as Some new world pedestrians Just lounging with some fishin' poles up on the moons crescent Just tryin to make some history spittin' on a few records I had a dream like Martin Luther King in adolescence And now I'm out in Tokyo and Europe havin' sessions The final destination used to be my main question But then I looked and all that I was searchin' for was present The final destination used to be my main question But then I looked and all that I was searchin' for was present [Bridge: Gift of Gab] And now I'm out and out on and on the road we play Soundin' off like an army ho replay Talkin' bout walkin' miles of roads he paved Travel out droppin' bombs with no delay [Overlaps with Hook] And now I'm out and out on and on the road we play Soundin' off like an army ho replay Talkin' bout walkin' miles of roads he paved Travel out droppin' bombs with no delay [Hook] Music, deliver from within and it covers up everything Music, when the melody and rhythm get to moving and unity Movin', one force one love one whole community Do it, keep travelin' on keep travelin' on [Verse 3: Lateef the Truthspeaker] Now see we rock around the clock we don't stop for nothin' Gonna take it to the top - non stop - no frontin' People listen when it drops cause it speaks to something In they souls when they all alone, spacing in the zone Or walking they block - talking to they homey at the shop See the point is this - even if the homey got shot Then there still be the bump knockin' in your trunk Get ya out your slump rockin' it straight off the top Concotcin' it like ingredients thrown haphazardly inside a crockpot With a magic sock, schnapps, a big ass book, and some vodka And pass it my way cause I'm a real big talker And I love new experiences I'm the godfather of gettin' into to trouble On the road undercover shit - take your whole crowd if you leave 'em uncovered And I believe even Hammer would say my shit's proper work Not to put a damper on the underground answer shit You dealin' wit motherfuckers, done underground anthems, done Rocked from the west coast damn near to Athens and you still hate a whack song as much as the next man And still in love with the good one We interact with listeners this is our contribution on the war against The whiteness and slightness, a constitution of fatness Blackalicious, Jurassic, Maroons, Latyrical madness Your mind is captured with tactics to get you blasted the fastest And you still wonder, baffled at just how long does this is lastin'? We have the fashion to classic the pure love satisfaction Is when the magic is captured and life actions made tangible with [Hook] Music, deliver from within and it covers up everything Music, when the melody and rhythm get to moving and unity Movin', one force one love one whole community Do it, keep travelin' on keep travelin' on [All] We take a journey through music right now We take a journey through music right now We take a journey through music right now
