Lyrics
(Intro) This is Sublime… Introducing myself to the world Givin y’all some insight into my mind Spittin a page from my diary My diary rhyme (Verse 1) Lyrical dexterity has always been my legacy But recently I feel a need to sail my boat on other seas The growing lack of respect, for textual intellect, Is evidenced by the fact, that text is thought of as wack I never thought when I started, the knowledge that I imparted Would be disbarred and abolished As an archaic art, an entire forum demolished My chosen, form of delivery Exiled in shame and misery Resigned to servicing entry, level lyrical sentries The modern hip hop head, denounces text as dead Thinking they on the fast lane to money, bitches, and fame Look out the window… See your roots passin you by, on your route to the sky Deny – ing your heritage like skin bleach - ing Africans Tryna be white, don’t forget you were black back when Your, predecessors cut a trail through the jungle lands Built a road where you highway now stands Had to break down walls and barriers Odds against them Like a Kasatka facin a Harrier Even today we imitate and embrace the way they dressed Followin My Addidas and Taylors with our Mitchell and Ness I cant more heavily stress, duress caused By the newly incepted pawns, bein played like ping pong Being bounced back and forth between the streams and the source Puddles tryna be pools, trickles thinking they rivers Feeling they owe no respect to their life givers If the lyrics of yesteryear hadn’t formed on paper Then the emcees today wouldn’t be stackin that paper Rap evolved from poetry The red rose in a field of green What’s now beauty once thought obscene, but seems, the beauty once seen in the field is now in the rose, making the green one red…jealousy in the field of green , the poetic world incarnadine… (Chorus) The lucid thoughts of Sublime Fluid in lyrics and rhyme Delivered straight to your mind… Jus a lil diary rhyme (2x) (Verse 2) The mouth that bites the hand that feeds it starves There’s nothing wrong with exchanging friendly barbs But for audio heads to knock text so hard When textceein is how they got first start We’re all lyricists in our own ways From verbal kent to 50centlovr09 Every talent can shine Spittin or writin a couple a lines Let’s fry the beef and eat…break bread and drink wine Enjoy the blessings granted to us from the Divine Origin, before the battle goes from the net to funeral organs Im more than, disappointed with the attitudes of those anointed And blessed with a predilection to audio or text And I fear for the future of netceein, so Im breathin, my lyrical textual intellectual masterpiece To ask you please to stop… To each his own, from young to grown Stag or doe we all jus wanna stack the dough Or maybe less Maybe we just want respect…. Just the thoughts of my mind from a moment in time How the world appears to me Blazoned for all to hear and see Breathing life to a page in my diary… (Chorus) The lucid thoughts of Sublime Fluid in lyrics and rhyme Delivered straight to your mind… Jus a lil diary rhyme (2x)
