lyrics

l
The track entitled "Shareef Abdur-Rahim" is produced by Philadephia's own Sideswipe and written by Pruven. Many audio visuals are displayed through Pruven's lyrics giving detailed descriptions of various life aspects. At the root of the song this is tribute to, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, who was a former NBA talent and mostly viewed as an underdog. Often, under the radar Shareef would still function at a high level. This song goes with the same drive and intentions with lyrics from Pruven and production from Sideswipe. Also, how Shareef was fluent with scoring, yet often overlooked, the audio reflects fluidity in how Pruven depicts shared visions relating to humanity yet facing the facts of being under appreciated. So, when the spotlight is not directly on you will you keep working? This is the sound platform for one's that may be in the shadows but are still working to reveal light. see less
lyrics
Some talents is crazy today
A man with a hammer made a face image on a glass frame
Careful precision artistry mission
Quickness sickness
Make them listen
What is your eternal vision? (that's how it feels)
Witness penmanship thinking
Gain everyday
Fight pain build fam
Maintain
Do more than they say
Pursue forth and back back and forth
Hold torch
Raise your fort
For sure that you know life is raw raw
That's how it feels
Rhyme war
Endure yours
Earn the tours
No more they want the people to endure
Interaction for sure
Your core updated
Pollution gruesome
Corroded music sounding stupid we refuse it
We the truest
That's how it feels
Psycho technics
Speak higher frequencies life be
So they see
They change the weather as we speak
Weather peaks
Some seen August it's snow
Summer winter hot springs cold
That's how it feels
Seasons undefined
9 to 5 small business demise
Stop their lie
Why they release the inmates prisoner's terrorize
The innocent lives stop
Stay strong survive the body mind now align
That's how it feels
Intertwine divine lines
Let's go let's smoke
Listen to young pharaoh
Infrared info appreciated
Some inebriated
Some syndicated
I updated info right from my mind's pages
That's how it feels
See British marines on L.S.D.
Audio pedigree
Now you see you and your girl listen to me
Accurately
Free these chained emcees
The fake ones that's fraudulent
Locked up they caged let'em be
That's how it feels
He felt like shit
Admit the mindprint evidence
Speak what you want to existence
Through failure find persistence
Your own wisdom
Your own mission
You have to find your own road for living and pay attention
That's how it feels
Speak what you want to existence
Speak what you want to existence
Speak speak what you want to existence
Speak what you want to existence
Eliminate those conflicts
That's how it feels
Pardon the plan
Demand depart man defoul replan
Reprogram land robots stand
Live snake over your head
Darpha dogs bred
Test by the feds
Do what they said
I'm self made. No!
That's how it feels
Social gatherings stop
Violent cops not fired
Innocent cops watch
Innocent cops fired because they talk
Against injustice and walk clear out their desk caught confess and find a new job
Life is hard
That's how it feels
Rapping mean torture you clean
How Pharoahe Monch did Masta Ace up in that scene
Release these chains proceed through the anguish now succeed
I took the knife out my back you put in me
Kneel
Will you bleed?
That's how it feels
Let Karma be
