Lyrics For Hieroglyphics
I think I might have, jumped the gun
But I just want to get something done
And play the game as long as the game is fun
Cuz there's too many who played till they were played out
Disappeared and faded out, I'm not sayin that I made it now
Without a shade of a doubt I outlasted the drought
- to bring you this, persistance over instruments
Hope that your into this, that you can picture this
Rock grinding rocks, and the wind shaping them
Hoodoo type formation, erosion evasion for every occasion
Songs die, and people never play them
But a classic, outlasts it and never decays
Man, remember the days when the songs were fresh
Not freeze dried, microwavable and overprocessed?
Someone's gotta put a stop to the nonsense
And bring back hip hop's consience
I've been around for a while and I plan to stay
Ancient hieroglyphics that never fade
Even if it's underground and never gets played
I will take strides forward - in faith
It's been a long time comin, but it was bound to happen
I've been dreaming ever since way back when
I was a kid with a vision and something to say
Needed someone to listen, so I put in
Over one solid year of hard work
From conception to when you first heard these words
Struggled with schemes and concepts, and everything else
But overcame that to put the disc on the shelf
Independent baby, means I did it myself
And I have to be honest, with not much help
But that's just life and I'm just me (stubborn)
So I pressed on and pressed the CD
To say God loves you, and He sure blessed me
To be on the scene with longevity
Still sing such a sweet melody
Not caring what the peeps keep tellin me
Trusting in Him and surrendering everything
I'M SO TIRED OF WAITIN AROUND
PEOPLE ALWAYS LETTING ME DOWN
NOW MY KNEES ARE ON THE GROUND
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING
I KNOW THAT I HAVE TO BE STRONG
THAT THE ROAD I TRAVEL IS LONG
BUT WITH YOU ON MY SIDE LORD
I CAN'T GO WRONG
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING
AND I KNOW YES I KNOW
MY CHANGE IS GONNA COME
YES MY CHANGE IS GONNA COME
