[00:00:00] Shallow Days - Blackalicious
[00:00:10] I just keep moving on
[00:00:20] I just keep moving on (moving on )
[00:00:30] Time and time a brother asks why
[00:00:32] The rhyme is not laced with a gangsta touch
[00:00:34] I said "Simply because I don't live that way
[00:00:37] Still kickin' them rhymes rugged and rough"
[00:00:39] "But that won't sell
[00:00:41] Cause you gotta keep it real
[00:00:42] So that we can feel
[00:00:43] Where you're coming from
[00:00:44] Because these streets is ill so if you ain't
[00:00:46] Killing niggas in rhymes
[00:00:48] Your whole sound's just bubble gum"
[00:00:49] I said "I won't contribute to genocide;
[00:00:51] I'd rather try to cultivate the INSIDE
[00:00:54] And try to evolve the frustrated ghetto mind
[00:00:56] The devil and his army never been a friend of mine"
[00:00:59] "But niggas don't wanna hear that sh*t" said the brother
[00:01:01] Who was obviously totally misled and yelled out
[00:01:05] "murder murder kill murder" instilled in the influential THOUGHTS
[00:01:08] Of our kids' heads
[00:01:10] Shallow days you never gonna
[00:01:11] Let a brother be a brother
[00:01:12] Fully inner to the outer
[00:01:13] Caught up in all them hollow nights
[00:01:15] Can't escape cause everywhere I look
[00:01:17] People frontin' and it just ain't right
[00:01:19] Shallow days you never gonna
[00:01:21] Let a brother be a brother
[00:01:22] Fully inner to the outer
[00:01:23] Caught up in all them hollow nights
[00:01:25] Can't escape cause everywhere I look
[00:01:27] People frontin' and it just ain't right
[00:01:29] I said "Don't you know the powers that be
[00:01:31] Are using people as pawns devouring we
[00:01:33] Until they see us all gone and outta the scene"
[00:01:36] And as I passed the chronic he said "look at where I be
[00:01:39] I tried to get a job for real
[00:01:41] But all the homies HIT LIQS and rob and steal
[00:01:43] And keep fat pockets caught in a rut to catch ground
[00:01:46] This way's in plus who could you trust "
[00:01:48] I said "I'm all about protecting mine
[00:01:49] But neglecting minds BE getting left behind
[00:01:52] Why don't you change your environment "
[00:01:55] He said "This is all I know
[00:01:56] Plus my fam's all that I got I can't go"
[00:01:58] I said "You gotta make it for the FAM"
[00:02:00] "Damn " he said "I didn't make the ghetto
[00:02:02] The ghetto made the man"
[00:02:03] I said "You're more than just that "
[00:02:04] Shook his hand said "Damn you gotta find a way
[00:02:07] To break the devil's master plan yeah "
[00:02:09] Shallow days you never gonna
[00:02:11] Let a brother be a brother
[00:02:12] Fully inner to the outer
[00:02:13] Caught up in all them hollow nights
[00:02:15] Can't escape cause everywhere that I look
[00:02:17] People frontin' and it just ain't right
[00:02:18] Shallow days you never gonna
[00:02:20] Let a brother be a brother
[00:02:21] Fully inner to the outer
[00:02:22] Caught up in all them hollow nights
[00:02:24] Can't escape cause everywhere that I look
[00:02:26] People frontin' and it just ain't right
[00:02:28] The word "peace" is just an expression
[00:02:30] Used to say bye when it's time to jet
[00:02:33] And them red black and green medallions
[00:02:34] Was all just part of A trend I guess
[00:02:36] Hardly ever them around brothers' necks no more
[00:02:39] Instead of that gold gats
[00:02:41] Inspiring gangstas and macks
[00:02:43] Who at the young age of four
[00:02:44] Be seeing more drama than war veterans
[00:02:46] Instead of learning God's laws
[00:02:47] And hip-hop is a voice that we enlist that
[00:02:50] To express how we be feeling about this and that
[00:02:53] But music does reflect life
[00:02:54] And kids look up to what you portray
[00:02:56] And mimic what you act like
[00:02:58] It's time for a new day
[00:02:59] An era in rap conscious styles
[00:03:02] Makin' them aware of the happenings
[00:03:04] But their ears seem more steered towards
[00:03:06] Self-annihilation
[00:03:06] So many might laugh
[00:03:08] And write this off like I'm out here just
