Story behind the song
http://www.orphanfam.com
you gotta have an album title track..
at least that's what we thought when we did this..
the title is just thaswassup.. i think it comes with it's own concepts as well as many of the songs on the album..
up for adoption.. down for whatever.. i can do anything.. it's delacratic..
Lyrics
up for adoption
lemme see, lemme see, how shall I start?
it don’t matter, imma kick it from the heart
from the soul, from the mind, take control, then I find
that I’m two steps ahead, and y’all seven steps behind
followin’ the flow of traffic, a shadow classic
drastic changes being made, paid to get drafted
so I’ve crafted my art with an option
be my sun, or be my concoction
we’re givin’ choices, makin’ mad noise it’s
the barrels that be full, you give the push, we got the pull
takin’ the forsaken to a different brain state and
I’m debatin’ while you waitin’
fakin’ motions, makin’ bacon
rap’s next generation, I’m generatin’
x amount of thoughts that you bought cuz you got caught
slippin’ while I’m dippin’ thru the mess
guess who be down for whatever, never fess?
up, up , up and away we go
down, down, down for whatever
what goes up must come down- fa sho
all ways up for adoption forever
scratch hook/chorus
fuck around and be a statistic, shit is getting thick quick
woke up this morning with the world on my dick
sick to death until my last breath
put it in my name until there ain’t none left
except two turntables and this microphone
haters hate cuz they don’t write their own
full-blown epidemic, shit’s pathetic
wantin’ what we got but you’re never gonna get it
and I said it and wet it like I just came home
hip hop’s in my heart, blood, and my bone
blown up, grown up, we got the seam sewn up
up for adoption, it’s time to own up
scratch hook/chorus
if you’re looking for the fam well you found it
now watch you’re back cuz you’re surrounded
sounds like the orphans cuz it is
the kids with the open lids like this
it’s about time we on top of the world
orphan fam rockin’ round rhymes for all the boys and girls
who be twirlin’ up their blunts for hip hop or trip hop
we’ve always had the o spot locked so just stop
we be not the flop flip flop one hit wonders
we millions of children chillin’: sisters and brothers
wonders of the earth for everything it’s worth
living and dying and death back to birth
insert the cd, close your eyes and you can see we
or flick on your tv and watch us flow freely
we are the human beings, em-ceeing
we is the kids g.o.d.-ing
all in all orphans can’t be stopped
we up for adoption, so adopt
scratch hook/chorus
ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you
b-girl extraordinaire
full circle’s own
rocka
orphan fam is up for adoption
non stop we rockin’ hip hoppin’
from the bottom straight to the top and
make it hot whatever we droppin’
orphan fam is up for adoption
non stop we rockin’ hip hoppin’
from the bottom straight to the top and
make it hot whatever we drop
make it hot whatever we drop (x4)
