The Tongue - The Punch lyrics

[Verse 1] It was the end of the year, yeah How I made it 52 weeks that'll never be clear But I'm here and I'm breathin, bruises have healed from the beatings Still getting used to the feeling Of proving the things I believe in Like using my mic and my mind for removing the ceiling Revealing a movement of people who dreamin And fightin for peace so they can't be defeated My reason is blind if you follow my meaning Tongue is hip hop and it's what completes him Fiending left to avoid the deamons Keep in step or destroy the sequence Wherever your hearts at be reppin it right Sometimes the hard times are the best in your life And it's like I'm a danger to closed minds December 31st definition of showtime [Chorus] {X2} Hot for eleven and one months They talk for a year and I setup with one punch Which sums up all I wanna live life for Opposed to the war but I know what I fight for [Verse 2] So many trapped in the loop like a sample I learned you're unlikely to lose if you gamble Our chances increase with the cards that we handle You making excuses or make an example Now I smoked and I drank and was broke and I'm blanking an ocean Of pain and I hope that I sang 'til I fall from my spot And I clawed to the top Of my soul and I'm scared that I'll fall if I drop But the forces of nature are forcing the haters To hide from the hail, I rain on parades' Retreat in the charts like a table in Vegas Cash in, cash out - and they're out - see ya later They faceless. I'm lookin in your eyes for ages Married to the beat now I sign the papers Ain't no unfaithful behavior It ain't the days but the years that make ya [Chorus] {X2} [Bridge] We ain't gonna let them drag this one down We ain't gonna let them drag this one down We ain't gonna let them drag this one down [Scratches by DJ Diaz]
