Bronze Nazareth - Up There Beyond lyrics

[Intro: Phillie] Uh... you don't know Yeah... you don't know... That's why we searching And we are... uh... [Phillie] Time to move on, the mind's coveted by the dome To hide my thoughts, til spitting on microphone Get in MC's, rip parts, degree, who's next? My battle arena, at the Fox Coliseum Not on stage, but the streets, lyrical thief And petty the theft, it's about to increase Alert my peeps, meet at the Penobscot Acobo, get loco, uh-oh, they cops Not really from inside, guess we sorta in the middle Sold us numbers til I die, but I plan to live a little I don't bake pies, I put, mind on the grittle You can walk in my shoes, but probably can't fit 'em Hip hop was life, Pac was the logo They say Big was number one, that's the way it go though Got an ill crew, most I roll solo One call, we show stopper, you Davy Jones' Locker Gotta, feed my seeds, see we earn our keep Said that sleep is the cousin of d**h, not a wink Don't blink twice, only tryin' to guard my life Don't think twice, like, f** stars and stripes Seeing sh** that'll have an average Joe scarred for life Yet through my darkest nights, I'm sharp as a knife Fight with all my might, the sun don't shine One way or the other, hear the other side All that's left is pride, the fire that is I Phillie's his own lettuce, next week it's fries Out to get mine, any way I can get it High, I'm seeing double like a New York Minute Ride, I'm seeing trouble can't get caught in it Focused, to identify the sharks in the business [Chorus: Phillie] I pa**, they run, they cross, yours and mine Until then, follow the signs The world ain't perfect, neither am I But strive to overcome, only way to survive Mama gave me life, raised me right Gave me sight, saved my life And all my experiences made me right Wonder what's having a baby like [Bronze Nazareth] What's having a baby like, December 8th, was the date the skies was pale The streets felt tense, like the same word in brail A close encounter, we begin days back I'm on Tony Dorset's street for a great haze sack Old man, his teeth crooked like the streets of Detroit Took my cash, and came back with pebbles of crack And as I cut my eyes, back to the other side The sound of a siren cut open the skies Purple rain I'm arranged in chains, my girl since seven months Me? I'm seven years and some change Something strange in the court room, veins is my fortune I'm from a place where the avenues are scorching Boulevard bullet scars, the road is a warpath You better do your street war math And he buckled in handcuffs, I snuffed his man, what? Cameras convicted me My girl ain't paid rent, she evicted three months later Shelter to shelter, wires like raining [Chorus] [Kevlaar 7] Let me show what I see, go inside, climb a pyramid's incline I see the promised land planned in Martin Luther's mind Chime bells, my seeds is healthy, felt self medication Infect me, envy is evil, genetic trap marks from the needle Confined in a young mind, grind teeth, every man is feeble My fetus sees through the future, grasping memories Through a mirrors out reaching, unbelievable I'm still living, one decade is a given Two is a blessing, eight more is god testing I don't know what's up there til I climb the stairs Or grow a pair of wings, every one stares at a martyr Parts of life, my light skin make it harder Part of me is being already, fire starter [Salute] It's a small town, but a big rep to hold up f** a book, I wanna be a G when I grow up Screws is lose, hustle leave it harder for juice Got the future like the past, cuz they poison the youth Marijuana selling, on the streets like cookies Franchise teams, being lead by rookies Hear it in the sky, it's him overlooking So we stuck in the game, like at birth with a name With a picture full of crack, in a positive frame Partners with terror, living in a gooned out era Seeing d**h, more common than the face in the mirror Tears of shame, murder raps, caught for change Rest in peace, to Stone Red, for the born'll get slain... [Chorus]
