Blade: So many people step on the bandwagon And start the damn braggin’, but they’re draggin’ On and on and I’m bored and tired And every other musician’s getting’ fired You gotta get down with the programme Ahh damn I’m a man, I was born a baby Till I heard the good news and I paid my dues Here’s a couple of clues I’m a sit back and watch ‘em lose I’m a sit back and watch ‘em crack up I get a couple of thousand as my back up Here’s a man that’s true to the game Not new to the game, what’s my name (Blade) and you best believe that You’re blind as a bat if you still can’t see that Crowds are goin’ all nuts I’m a go at them like a psychopath The one man army There’s nothin’ they can say that can alarm me I’m workin’ for myself so they can never fire me They can either or admire me That’s the way that I planned it So they’re callin’ me the bandit Hard times made me strong And even when I’m dead I’ll be livin’ long The power of positive thinkin’ Gets me back in shape yeah you know it How many know what time it is This is business, many don’t belong in showbiz So it’s time to dismiss ‘em one by one Two by two, him and his whole crew Fame and fortune got ‘em all stuck up They can feel that their time is up now I see them getting’ ready to leave What you see is what you believe Now what you got to say to that knucklehead… What’s mine is mine I want it back ON a daily basis I see the look on their faces They don’t have a clue where the place is Where they’re goin’ or where they’re from So I guess it’s time to give them some There’s so many dates on the calendar Filled up from the years it took to build up Foundations, radio stations Get a taste but they never seem to play it Hit them hard Forget about the middleman I seen it on the tv set plus I heard it on the radio But my mind was made up What have I got to lose when I think about it I gave examples, took a few samples And bam here we have it Can you understand what I’m meanin’? They used to say that I was dreamin’ I don’t know what it is that’s pushin’ me Forward, forward, forward My mind is strong like a rhino No soprano, 691 oh Doesn’t ever deal with commercialism Strictly Hip Hopism, realism Emphasism, anti-majorism Here’s the rhythm And they can never kill vinyl That’s final Forget ‘em They’re on a mission to kill real music We’re on a mission to keep it alive And all that pop shit your time is runnin’ out Believe it… (9th Sept 1992) |
