lyrics

Pruven

Archaic mind
Reside
What would Redman say if he read your rhymes?
I'll reconnect your mind to your spine
Did tank boy at Tiananmen Square die?
My boy said he like my rhymes but don't understand what I spit
Dumb it down a bit
Nah witness use your left brain as a computer chip
Pierce skin
Rip flesh won't be ignored
Kneel til your knees are sore
Be better today than you were the day before
Spot Philly legends what! Kenny Gamble, gamble and the Huff
Still fuck with other types of music that's whats up
Lyrical vs. mumble rap
Attack
Barbaric acidic vomit tracks
Respect the craft
Respect the black man carry the art on the back
Box corrupt feds. trails red
Force fed Boxguts survive the blood shed
Made the meth head
Detox no Dre listen to Meth instead
Verses melt the led
Send her home to the drone in your bed
The government
Unanimous rapper emailed me on facebook
Told me a female rapper blocked him look
You got a stalky rapy vibe say goodbye
Learn to be more respectful in time.
Story change.
Some dudes I look up to
But now he's through because of the drugs he do
Manifest regretful clues
Who are you? You not all that
Your raps barely make the craft.
I realize that
Yeh, opportunities ruined
Dark times regressed in the music
Reminisce how potential me and my friends blew it
I recognize it's my fault
Yet brought yeh I'm humble enough to be taught
In the studio working hard
They nodding off not finishing songs
Somethings wrong
Don't put their business out
Look at your car you not a rap star
Work hard at least those people gave you a job
Recorded for years
Be thankful I'm right here
But some bridges are burnt down to rebuilt in years
Connect with your peers
You can say, "To hell with everything I don't care."

We learn from ones not here
We learn from one who are not here
We learn from what's not here
As long as you learn
As long as you learn (x2)
We learn from ones not here
We learn from one what's not here
We learn from who's not here
As long as you learning
As long as you learning
