Soulive - Bridge To 'Bama (Hi Tek Remix) lyrics

rate me

Here I am, soul<br />

<br />

Yo, step out on the block to face the sun<br />

Creep the people in the village that raised my son<br />

As far as days go this look like an amazing one<br />

I feel more normal in the summer the same as the Yankees won<br />

<br />

It's like, of course, what you expect less<br />

The night about to kick off folks is out in their best dress<br />

Pimps and whores rising on the horizon<br />

Ballers copping more diamonds<br />

<br />

Watch the ferrions looking towards Zion<br />

What's embedded in the hardest head<br />

It's the epic lie to me and debt it<br />

To a country that gives us no credit<br />

<br />

So cats stealing money cash hoes 'cuz that's what's expected<br />

With the bill when the original architect is comedic<br />

Mummies return so the dummies can learn<br />

Just how much Hollywood got to burn<br />

<br />

Of our money that's hard earned<br />

But that ain't really my concern<br />

As I walk the block as soon as the sun goes down<br />

It starts to get hot, scorching<br />

<br />

Bridge to 'Bama<br />

Bring your wife, bring your brother, bring your kid to mama<br />

She shits bananas<br />

The way we paint pictures in a vivid manner<br />

<br />

Bridge to 'Bama<br />

Bring your wife, bring your brother, bring your kid to mama<br />

She shits bananas<br />

The way we paint pictures in a vivid manner, yeah<br />

<br />

Magnetic like refrigerator poetry<br />

Attract imitators who wanna flow like me<br />

You know it's me, floating free through the ghetto where the<br />

People supposedly ain't trying to show no love openly<br />

Give me your hand, yeah<br />

<br />

Trying to build a bridge so we can stay the course<br />

Hi-tek lay the track for the train that thought to run across<br />

Come across places where faces got tracks of tears<br />

'Cuz the human race been running upon their backs for years, yeah<br />

<br />

But they don't break<br />

They keep it moving like when I travel the land<br />

And people, other people do it how other people go through it down<br />

Bridging the gap like the Black Eyed Peas<br />

<br />

Loving, giving it back, to see them raise up<br />

Living for that to keep trying means to keep failing<br />

But if you don't keep trying that means to keep dying<br />

What the hell, we gonna die anyway<br />

Keep your soul live when you're here is what I'm trying to say<br />

<br />

Bridge to 'Bama<br />

Bring your wife, bring your brother, bring your kid to mama<br />

She shits bananas<br />

The way we paint pictures in a vivid manner<br />

<br />

Bridge to 'Bama<br />

Bring your wife, bring your brother, bring your kid to mama<br />

She shits bananas<br />

The way we paint pictures in a vivid manner, yeah<br />

<br />

Come on, yeah, yeah<br />

Break it down like<br />

Come on, yeah, yeah<br />

Come on, yeah<br />

[Incomprehensible] hi-tek, yeah<br />

<br />

Soul live, this how we do it, right<br />

We keep it moving like<br />

This hip-hop like<br />

Jazz music like<br />

<br />

Everybody wants to rock<br />

Everybody rock me like<br />

Everybody in the spot<br />

Brooklyn to Nomadic life<br />

<br />

Yo, for the babies and<br />

It's for you and<br />

It's for me and, it's for us and<br />

Break it down like
