Soulive - Here lyrics

Verse 1: J-Live Peace Still ain't the word to play Still the first word heard when you play a CD by J Still is what ya can't be if you're live as me Wide awake third eye moving rapidly Rappin, rougher than rap and smoother than Anita Baker's Rapture Well-rounded MC Actin' not but (?) action stop Wisdom by the barrel under lock and key Capture words, attack your nerves And make them slaves to the rhythm If ya listen you'll be setting them free (?) then the god I be If its just I see the equality over quantity If its no fool's gold, not a prob for me It's more than a job for me If it was, I'd be more than a temp you see Dedicated by (?) OD on the dope beat E A T Soulive and J-Live on the MPC FYI this be album three (?) triple threat never run MD Go to produce, DJ, and MC Truth seeker where the place to be Here! Where the spot (?) and come ya'll Where the part known as the best ya'll Here! Matter of a fact turn it up so ya'll Hear! Been on the job since 1995 Changed the game since the moment I arrived and Setbacks and pitfalls I survived and Who leave a diamond in the rough so jaded Green with envy as the next man who made it But I remain unfazed, unfaded Keepin' my hands on the mircophone Settin' the tone like a blade to a whetstone Before my bills get paid sk**s get honed You can't get taht might as well get gone Here! Cause right here be the place where (?) And short term ambitions are replaced there Cause man listen while you dissin' We go from transition To booth dishin' It be the same old wishin' with a new vision And I see Clear! To a place where a knowledge of self Is promoted by the (?) being pushed by the people with wealth And the ba**-ackwards, junk food rappers Aren't the only one recognized up on the shelf And the people in the club got a chance to Dance to something that maintains a little bit of self respect Cause the people in the booth with the ears on the youth Really care about the music that you Hear! Maybe then the J-Live aid Hear! When you let the radio rage Here! And the dopest MC's get slayed Here! Matter fact turn it up all the way Yeah! Get a little bit of this underground Underrated, unexaggerated, appreciated Anticipated even though we're still underestimated Get up under the influence of the most fluent students of life No man alive graduated In this cla** super senior, the celebrated Get up under the undercurrent Under current events of one nation under currency I'll serve you a mental d**h sentence concurrently Get some of this potion The most potent, important, imported From a place where the taste make you swim for it Yeah! Get your good foot up on the good ship, craftsmanship Set sail roundtrip From the mind to the lip to the ear to the mind Here! Never mind the blind leading the dumb Till the only ones left are the deaf and the doped up Till the deaf and dumb give their hopes up not Here! You in a place where we skippin' over The worst part where land so desolate And the pessimists stuck on stressin' it And the outsiders that make a mess of it This The Hear After, the next testament I know the mic sound right f** testin' it I just get on the beat and start blessin' it Thats the intro enjoy the rest of it Here!
