Fugees - Some Seek Stardom Lyrics
[lauryn hill]Ahhhhhh!Check the crippled man, sittin in the churchMy conscience hurts, flesh like me hits the dirtShes paralyzed from her feet to her thighsAnd the man who pulled the trigger didnt even lose his necktieHi/i check jimmy cuttin hair at the barbershopHe plays the bass guitar, like david plays the harpHis knowledge name is greek, cause whenever he speaksHes got the wisdom of king solomon bags in his eyes from no sleepSometimes he thought of the fame in madison square gardenSo some seek stardom, but they forget harlemBut seeking first of all the kingdom of God is what my pops told meSo if I fall, could the choir catch meI flew away, on a mountain, got tempted by satanGot bitten by a cobra, but the lord took my venomSo whos side am I on? Im on the righteousAlways check the lyrics, no time to contradictChorus:Some seek stardom, then they forget harlem (3x)They/brothers/sisters/families/people/we/brothersKeep their pockets full, but their souls run emptyWell aiyyo family I beseech you, in the hopes that I may reach youMy mother taught me one day that this mid-day would come somedayBorn to talk that jive, with peaky hair grown wildAnd teachers disliked me, cause I knew where my culture beSo now yeah mom I read history, I cant neglect my passion seeRock its kind of new to me, cause my true love was poetryWhite was good and bad was black but black was just a massa lackeyBuilt for that b. nimble jack and Id like to save you from the wickedD-dog clear I wouldnt be wetThe black to mourn, tomorrows deathThe evil things, glad that i, while angels wrote this violence why?Help me make me comprehend my black bezerk and why cast itTime to blaze the angels nappy heads are braided that you make meSee whats hard for me that dont make you fleeWhen I enter your vicinity, you see my God aint never after meSo yo I be wised up with greekTo go and be, the last and good and see whats wrong with meAnd through your insecurity of me and my abilitySo bredren wont you let me be or has thou asked to much from thyTo tell the truth and not to lie? oh my...Chorus 2xBut as I grew, I knew cause the master told meFrom a baby to a woman from a woman to a babyLife is so short, hardcore becomes hard-corpseStep in a coffin where the moneys no longer the source*singing*There we go, there we go, there we goI got mine now wont you get yours, we never open doorsSo we neglect, and dont protect the ones thats notPeople never really seem to careAnd then they cry out, my people! why arent we treated equal?As we flee, we flee our own communitiesWe leave our family in povertyAnd then we blame it on another, so family please recoverOh cmon please come now with you can come with me now and blow nowIf you want to, were through...Chorus 4x
