Shallow Days - Blackalicious[00:00:00]

I just keep moving on [00:00:10]

I just keep moving on (moving on )[00:00:20]

Time and time a brother asks why[00:00:30]

The rhyme is not laced with a gangsta touch[00:00:32]

I said "Simply because I don't live that way[00:00:34]

Still kickin' them rhymes rugged and rough"[00:00:37]

"But that won't sell [00:00:39]

Cause you gotta keep it real[00:00:41]

So that we can feel[00:00:42]

Where you're coming from[00:00:43]

Because these streets is ill so if you ain't[00:00:44]

Killing niggas in rhymes[00:00:46]

Your whole sound's just bubble gum"[00:00:48]

I said "I won't contribute to genocide;[00:00:49]

I'd rather try to cultivate the INSIDE[00:00:51]

And try to evolve the frustrated ghetto mind[00:00:54]

The devil and his army never been a friend of mine"[00:00:56]

"But niggas don't wanna hear that sh*t" said the brother[00:00:59]

Who was obviously totally misled and yelled out[00:01:01]

"murder murder kill murder" instilled in the influential THOUGHTS[00:01:05]

Of our kids' heads[00:01:08]

Shallow days you never gonna[00:01:10]

Let a brother be a brother[00:01:11]

Fully inner to the outer[00:01:12]

Caught up in all them hollow nights[00:01:13]

Can't escape cause everywhere I look[00:01:15]

People frontin' and it just ain't right[00:01:17]

Shallow days you never gonna[00:01:19]

Let a brother be a brother[00:01:21]

Fully inner to the outer[00:01:22]

Caught up in all them hollow nights[00:01:23]

Can't escape cause everywhere I look[00:01:25]

People frontin' and it just ain't right[00:01:27]

I said "Don't you know the powers that be[00:01:29]

Are using people as pawns devouring we[00:01:31]

Until they see us all gone and outta the scene"[00:01:33]

And as I passed the chronic he said "look at where I be [00:01:36]

I tried to get a job for real [00:01:39]

But all the homies HIT LIQS and rob and steal[00:01:41]

And keep fat pockets caught in a rut to catch ground[00:01:43]

This way's in plus who could you trust "[00:01:46]

I said "I'm all about protecting mine [00:01:48]

But neglecting minds BE getting left behind [00:01:49]

Why don't you change your environment "[00:01:52]

He said "This is all I know [00:01:55]

Plus my fam's all that I got I can't go"[00:01:56]

I said "You gotta make it for the FAM"[00:01:58]

"Damn " he said "I didn't make the ghetto [00:02:00]

The ghetto made the man"[00:02:02]

I said "You're more than just that "[00:02:03]

Shook his hand said "Damn you gotta find a way[00:02:04]

To break the devil's master plan yeah "[00:02:07]

Shallow days you never gonna[00:02:09]

Let a brother be a brother[00:02:11]

Fully inner to the outer[00:02:12]

Caught up in all them hollow nights[00:02:13]

Can't escape cause everywhere that I look[00:02:15]

People frontin' and it just ain't right[00:02:17]

Shallow days you never gonna[00:02:18]

Let a brother be a brother[00:02:20]

Fully inner to the outer[00:02:21]

Caught up in all them hollow nights[00:02:22]

Can't escape cause everywhere that I look[00:02:24]

People frontin' and it just ain't right[00:02:26]

The word "peace" is just an expression[00:02:28]

Used to say bye when it's time to jet[00:02:30]

And them red black and green medallions[00:02:33]

Was all just part of A trend I guess[00:02:34]

Hardly ever them around brothers' necks no more[00:02:36]

Instead of that gold gats[00:02:39]

Inspiring gangstas and macks[00:02:41]

Who at the young age of four[00:02:43]

Be seeing more drama than war veterans[00:02:44]

Instead of learning God's laws[00:02:46]

And hip-hop is a voice that we enlist that[00:02:47]

To express how we be feeling about this and that[00:02:50]

But music does reflect life[00:02:53]

And kids look up to what you portray[00:02:54]

And mimic what you act like[00:02:56]

It's time for a new day[00:02:58]

An era in rap conscious styles [00:02:59]

Makin' them aware of the happenings[00:03:02]

But their ears seem more steered towards[00:03:04]

Self-annihilation[00:03:06]

So many might laugh[00:03:06]

And write this off like I'm out here just[00:03:08]

Blowing wind maybe label it soft or unreal [00:03:10]

Something they can't feel while they keep yelling[00:03:13]

"murder murder murder kill kill kill "[00:03:15]

I just keep movin' on (moving on )[00:03:18]

I just keep movin' on (moving on )[00:03:28]

Shallow days / hollow nights[00:03:38]

Shallow days / hollow nights[00:03:43]

Shallow days / hollow nights[00:03:48]
