FUGEES - Some Seek Stardom lyrics
rate me[lauryn hill]<br><br>Ahhhhhh!<br>Check the crippled man, sittin in the church<br>My conscience hurts, flesh like me hits the dirt<br>She's paralyzed from her feet to her thighs<br>And the man who pulled the trigger didn't even lose his necktie<br>Hi/i check jimmy cuttin hair at the barbershop<br>He plays the bass guitar, like david plays the harp<br>His knowledge name is greek, cause whenever he speaks<br>He's got the wisdom of king solomon bags in his eyes from no sleep<br>Sometimes he thought of the fame in madison square garden<br>So some seek stardom, but they forget harlem<br>But seeking first of all the kingdom of God is what my pops told me<br>So if I fall, could the choir catch me<br>I flew away, on a mountain, got tempted by satan<br>Got bitten by a cobra, but the lord took my venom<br>So who's side am I on? I'm on the righteous<br>Always check the lyrics, no time to contradict<br><br>Chorus:<br><br>Some seek stardom, then they forget harlem (3x)<br>They/brothers/sisters/families/people/we/brothers<br>Keep their pockets full, but their souls run empty<br><br>Well aiyyo family I beseech you, in the hopes that I may reach you<br>My mother taught me one day that this mid-day would come someday<br>Born to talk that jive, with peaky hair grown wild<br>And teachers disliked me, cause I knew where my culture be<br>So now yeah mom I read history, I can't neglect my passion see<br>Rock it's kind of new to me, cause my true love was poetry<br>White was good and bad was black but black was just a massa lackey<br>Built for that b. nimble jack and I'd like to save you from the wicked<br>D-dog clear I wouldn't be wet<br>The black to mourn, tomorrow's death<br>The evil things, glad that i, while angels wrote this violence why? <br>Help me make me comprehend my black bezerk and why cast it<br>Time to blaze the angels nappy heads are braided that you make me<br>See what's hard for me that don't make you flee<br>When I enter your vicinity, you see my God ain't never after me<br>So yo I be wised up with greek<br>To go and be, the last and good and see what's wrong with me<br>And through your insecurity of me and my ability<br>So bredren won't you let me be or has thou asked to much from thy<br>To tell the truth and not to lie? oh my...<br><br>Chorus 2x<br><br>But as I grew, I knew cause the master told me<br>From a baby to a woman from a woman to a baby<br>Life is so short, hardcore becomes hard-corpse<br>Step in a coffin where the money's no longer the source<br>*singing*<br>There we go, there we go, there we go<br>I got mine now won't you get yours, we never open doors<br>So we neglect, and don't protect the ones that's not<br>People never really seem to care<br>And then they cry out, my people! why aren't we treated equal? <br>As we flee, we flee our own communities<br>We leave our family in poverty<br>And then we blame it on another, so family please recover<br>Oh c'mon please come now with you can come with me now and blow now<br>If you want to, we're through...<br><br>Chorus 4x
