Passion — Blackalicious: текст песни

{Cuts by Chief Xcel and DJ Babu}

An open microphone can be dangerous Let's tune in on two of the greatest MCs out there

Rakaa, Gift Of Gab

Passion The will to win, the spark within Passion The strength within the hearts of men Passion The drive to press, to strive for best, to rise You've just arrived the quest is driven through Passion To play through pain and love the game Passion To break the chain and blaze the flame Passion The fight for rights to love your life, to rise You've just arrived the quest is driven through Passion

Rakaa

Propaganda, positive propositions Politician, musician and a triple optician Still part of my missions to slaughter the opposition Critics that don't get it, I tell 'em to stop bitchin' I do without blacks, I've done it without cash Strictly for the love of the art - that's passion Flashin', rappin' or jammin' or soundblastin' When Quannum meets Expansion, this is what happens

Gift Of Gab

Runnin' through the jungle with a flare gun Arrow-arms, zoning out my mind Like I was hooked on hero-ine Take the fire, turn it up and blaze whole forest down Pullin from within' the inner insane warrior California to the District of Columbia Hella high octane, lookin' through a lazy eye All ablaze, fire, flames, lightin' up the sky Runnin' through the burnin' sun, yellin' Ride, nigga ride, nigga ride..

Rakaa, Gift Of Gab

Desire, the fire that inspires I don't state facts, I state buildings, like empires

Passion The journey, the learnin', the time-turnin' The searchin', the mind yearnin' to wake and find morning

Rakaa

Passion The ladies they love the long-lasting Asking for action, braced for satisfaction

Gift Of Gab

Rakaa

I'm still here, I've seen cats get killed here I've seen cats make a mil but millionaires still fear You can buy airplanes but you can't buy cheers Blackalicious, Dilated, vibratin' your ears

Gift Of Gab

Sent vibrations for years, I've been waiting for years I've been patient for years, we ain't playin' this year We hold stake in this here, it ain't safe for this year We in the zone watch next level, takin' it there, this is

Gift Of Gab

Had a rough week, it got beat by passion Saddled up, tweaked off a beat, started mashin' Matador Rica, the heat from the heater In her world, dwellin', hear the world Yellin' for a leader

Rakaa

I don't bother with the dealers, I take it to the lab It's Rakaa chillin' with Babs, Xcel, Gift of Gab I grab mics and fans gravitate, I can't waste it My whole life, I wanted it so bad, I could taste it
