Blackalicious - Supreme People lyrics

rate me

[Chorus]

Su-preme (Supreme, Supreme) [x8]

Su-preme people living with they backs aligned

Up against the wall cause these days are asinine

Living in a money matrix, How cats survive

Some will fade away and wither, others will blast a 9

Kings and Queens working 9 to 5's

And making nothing searching for a deeper purpose in life

This CAN"T be life...

? can't be right...

Without no money in my pockets I just can't see right

I used to try to preach to younguns like, "Do right kids"

Now-a-days all that I can say is, "Get it how you live"

Live how you get it, shit!

Don't nobody wanna get...

A promotion up to fry cook like little Calvin did

Some would rather take a gamble, hey they might to bids

The allure of fast money in this hell-bound system

Got you look at two-hundred bucks a week

Versus, like a thousand in a day

Tell me what makes more sense to these...

[Chorus]

Trapped like rats in mazes for the cheese

Every natural resource is here, We don't really need money

But certain people need power over people

They act like that cause they're trapped inside their EGO-sphere

And now you can't feel free

Without material possesions, you can't just be [Be: echo]

And without 'em you're left stressin, so anxiously [Be: anxiously]

So you grab the Smith & Wesson, then aim, then squeeze [Squeeze: echo]

To get what's comin' to ya

The block's so hot, it blew the top off the thermometer

The rush for drama is more appealing than a plane light

Cause life is insane, so insanity is a sane light

It's so easy to see, simple as day and night

SU-preme people born out of the way of the light

In the darkness, trying to fly straight

To some folks it's like being a fish swimming with sharks... shit!

(Perhaphs not since men turned their ears the preachings of a mere prophet

2000 years ago have the words of humble men reached so many with such force

? Perhaps because it has been burning for long, now smoldering

Now bursting into hot flames, now hastily covered over to smolder again

Until the next outbreak.)

[Chorus]

SU-preme people only want the best and uhh

SU-preme people won't settle for less then uhh

Straight from royalty put inside projects and uhh

Capitalist system that don't make sense to ya

SU-preme people put against the fence, Get up!

? hostile if you aint fixing the...

Problem you created that make these condition up

A little reparation for your acts are sent to us

SU-prome ride to die to get the bucks

? by any means so, uhh, lock your benzes up

Tuck your chain and watch and keep your defenses up

All they wanna do is live it up like ?

[Chorus]

SU-preme...

SU-preme...

SU-preme...
