Zion I - How Many lyrics
How many times have you watched the sunrise? How many times have you looked deep into your lover's eyes? How many times have we spit phat rhymes? How many times? How many times? Yo, how many rhymes would it take just for you to relate And overstand that we're living in a police state? How many? A pretty penny I would guess, nonetheless Meteor got us all desensitized under stress How many tales of a who*e shore to shore Before the last days is here that's for sure How many days before we get more mature And brothers with babies take care of their ladies How many mics get crushed, blown to dust Before we discover the true power within us Yo, how many times can we rhyme about the same thing Before we realize stand up we got to change things? How many times have you seen the sunset? How many times has your a** been in debt? How many times have you bumped our ca**ette? How many times? How many times? Yo, how many times do the seasons turn for Babylon? Burn this is my own concern to carry on Traditional listen yo, how many brother's tears have shed By my people for over four hundred years? How many times have you lied and cheated, acted conceited Didn't need it, you want it, how many times running How many scars and cuts, bruises from the battle From those who got beef - How many ever seen cattle? k**ed in cold blood for you to eat it up How much more till somebody says that's enough? How many times have you watched a full moon? How many times have you cried alone in your room? How many times have you felt the ba** boom? How many times? How many times? Yo, how many more of the hardcore rappers and gun clappers Gotta die before we realize I-N-I How many change in shadows, how much gain in tobacco How many bottles of 40 as d**h can we tackle? How many at the chapel? How many will be saved when fires rage? Surface of Earth is getting blazed How many cause everyone's got an opinion? This is just the Zion I crew expressing some How many times has a baby been born? How many times has lightning struck in a storm? How many times has your word been bond? How many times? How many times? Yo, how many times? [Scratching] "Destinies I manifest" "My baby" [Verse] How many live in the projects? How many have s** Before they fell in love? How many people forget Where they came from? I seen some people that lost How many brothers get accused and hung on the cross? How many children get neglected? How many get raised In the land of the empty, the home of the slaves? How many times can we rhyme about the same thing? Before we realize "stand up, we got to change things!" How many times has the sky dropped rain? How many times has your heart felt pain? How many times I've asked again and again How many times? How many times? How many times have you seen the sunrise? How many times you looked into your lover's eyes? How many times have we spit phat rhymes? How many times? How many times? How many times have you seen the sunset? How many times has your a** been in debt? How many times have you bumped our ca**ette? How many times? How many times? How many times have you watched a full moon? How many times have you cried alone in your room? [Outro] How long? (How long?) How long? (Amen) How long will this bullsh** go on?
