The Killing Season - A Tribe Called Quest[00:00:00]
Written by:Kamaal Fareed[00:00:00]
Winter in America never knew white Christmas[00:00:01]
L center squares always making my shit list[00:00:03]
Spring is in the air and all the flowers are blooming[00:00:06]
Powers that be wanna devour the movement[00:00:08]
Tears disappear when they fall on the summer rain[00:00:11]
Bleedin' through this mic but they call it entertainment[00:00:14]
Running across stages is a drug[00:00:17]
Is like a blunt that we crumble in raw papers[00:00:18]
Call it the lord's name 'cause we taking it in our veins[00:00:20]
Like the feeding us intravenous[00:00:23]
It's war and we fighting for inches and millimeters[00:00:25]
Try to stall the progress by killing off all the leaders[00:00:27]
We don't give them martyrs no more they can't defeat us[00:00:30]
This lack of justice got us disgusted look at our faces[00:00:32]
All these soldiers hate but I saw military training[00:00:35]
The force flags fly at a half mast this morning[00:00:38]
Take a bow this might be your last performance[00:00:41]
They sold ya sold ya sold ya[00:00:44]
They sold ya sold ya sold ya[00:00:47]
They sold ya sold ya sold ya[00:00:50]
They sold ya sold ya sold ya[00:00:52]
They sold ya sold ya sold ya[00:00:55]
They sold ya sold ya sold ya[00:00:58]
They sold ya sold ya sold ya[00:01:00]
They sold ya sold ya sold ya[00:01:03]
The old lady saw us on the lawn with the Henny[00:01:05]
Turn the pool party into the one from McKinney[00:01:07]
Might've been racist like the waitresses up in Denny's[00:01:10]
Swore we had twelve gauges automatics and semis[00:01:13]
Now they wanna condemn me for my freedom of speech[00:01:16]
'Cause I see things in black and white like Lisa and Screech[00:01:18]
Presidents get impeached and others fill in the throne[00:01:21]
But veterans don't get the benefit of feelin' at home[00:01:23]
So maybe those projections out at Silicone[00:01:27]
Are what drove her to get injections made of silicone[00:01:29]
I swear it's the killing season[00:01:32]
'Cause killin' is still in season yeah[00:01:35]
Louder than a three pound voices screaming mad to boot[00:01:37]
It must be killing season on the menu strangefruit[00:01:40]
Whose juices fill the progress of this here very nation[00:01:42]
Whose states has grown bitter through justice expiration[00:01:45]
These fruitful trees are rooted in bloody soil and torment[00:01:48]
Things haven't really changed or they're dormant for the moment[00:01:50]
Marks and scars we own it only made for tougher skin[00:01:53]
Helps us actualize the actual greatness held within[00:01:56]
Been on the wrong team so much can't recognize a win[00:01:58]
Seems like my only crime is having melanin[00:02:01]
Connection to the sun so strong the relationship is lusted for[00:02:04]
Causes men to suffocate I can't breathe no more[00:02:07]
Settle the score sadly need an abacus to tally[00:02:09]
Through all the peaks and valleys yo I recognize it sadly[00:02:12]
Black soul bold enough inner city cold enough[00:02:15]
Watch me get all my goons watch us get soldiered up[00:02:17]
They sold ya sold ya sold ya[00:02:21]
They sold ya sold ya sold ya[00:02:24]
They sold ya sold ya sold ya[00:02:26]
They sold ya sold ya sold ya[00:02:29]
They sold ya sold ya sold ya[00:02:32]
They sold ya sold ya sold ya[00:02:34]
They sold ya sold ya sold ya[00:02:37]
They sold ya sold ya sold ya[00:02:40]
