KRS-ONE AND THE TEMPLE OF HIPHOP - Tears lyrics

rate me

"At midday today, some Americans attended memorial services

for victims of Tuesday's acts of terrorism. Thousands

gathered at Chicago's Daily Plaza. Hundreds more looked

on from the windows of surrounding office buildings.

Many waved flags, and traffic came to a complete standstill.

On the rooftop of City Hall, which faces Daily Plaza, a

police sharpshooter watched the crowd, even as he saluted

the flag. After a minute of silence, church bells rang."

(Ain't no need in all the tears, oh no no, yeah yeah

Yeah cause things will be better tomorrow)

[Chorus x2: sung]

No need for tears, no need to cry

No matter what we face, we shall get by

When the problems you face are too much to bear

Know I'll be there

[KRS-One]

Hold that head up y'all, don't get fed up y'all

C'mon let's get up y'all

Make that bed up y'all, life is a set-up y'all

Sadness comes from a lack of knowin, not knowin

where the one that you love is goin

We all gonna reap what we all are sewin

There is no death, just constant growin

We can't stay here forever

We all gotta go to a place we believe is better

So why be sad, why be mad

Now you can see it ain't about the cheddar

It's all about the time that we spend together

Not the rhyme or the crime or the Gucci sweater

The house that's built on a rock can stand the weather

Faith, can stand the weather

But is your house, upon the rock

Or is it on sand and about to drop

Here is the question that you got to ask

Do I live for today or do I live for the past?

Think fast, but do not hurry

Life is a class and we should not worry

But tell me, how long you gonna ignore

Tell me how long you gonna ignore God's law?

How long can you really endure

Livin like pimps, livin like whores

The choice is yours, or really ours

Think about this while you lay the flowers

on the grave, uh, let's talk about how you behave, uh

Do you come out the neighb' or out the cave?

Better change your ways, we comin up on some stranger days

[Chorus]

[KRS-One]

Uhh, uhh

Don't step where the danger lays or danger lies

Open them EYES UP, better to RISE UP, WISE UP

Raise your MINDS UP

Look to the left, look to the right

Pray in the day and the night

Be prepared for the fight, not scared of the fight

He's the way, the truth AND the light

J to the E to the S to the U to the S

You can remove the stress

Yes, we do need you here

Yes, we wanna be free from fear

Yes, we wanna start seein clear

Havin you here, not over there

Lookin around sayin where, does anybody care?

Yeah, I'll be there

At the door, not at the war

At Matthew 5:44

"But I say, unto you

Love your enemies, bless them that curse you

Do good to them that hate you

And pray for them which despitefully use you

and persecute you"

This goes for them terrorists too

But them publicans, done put themSELVES up above again

Lookin for blood again, hate no love again

Got them soldiers runnin in, with a gun again

With a ton of sin, in a holy war, how we gonna win?

I think it's time for KRS-One again

[Chorus x2]

[KRS-One]

The time is now, you gotta make your choice

Which side are you on? Turn now to Matthew 5:46

"For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye?

Do not even the publicans the same?

And if ye salute your breddern only, what do ye more than others

do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect;

even as your FATHER which is in heaven, is perfect.." [echoes]
