apollo brown - h20 lyrics
ft. ras k-ss, pharoahe monch & rakaa iriscience
(intro: barbra streisand – the way we were)
mem’ries, light the corners of my mind
misty water-colored memories
(the good ol’ days)
of the way
(oh)
(reflect with me)
(know what i’m sayn? we just sittin’ on the porch)
(aye, watts, helicopter flyin’ ova here)
(lil n-gg-s in the street, throwin’ dirt rocks)
(feel me!)
(verse)
archaeological logic, discovered dango fossils to paint the picture
12 years a slave, 20 years a spitter, 37 years a n-gg-
hopin’ to see 90 bein’ a strong black figure as i stand and deliver
bring fire in j-pan, godzilla, by popular demand, see the fam
see the god, god illa
i’m like cornel west with skills on my chest
you superman thugs can ? the knife to the flesh
see, the hood got me stressed, takin’ fifths to the neck
multiple arrest and i discovered krs
let’s begin, what, where, how or why?
will all be explained? and if not family die
losin’ granny was the hardest, good women i f-cked left broken hearted
turned up bein’ r-t-rded, transformation to activist from an artist
a young melila, hodie taliban with target
shot in the head just cause she wanted to read
tell every person s-x traffic is free?!
(you got it bad, for what?!) cause n-gg-s tell on theyself nowadays
film it on vine and wonder why crime don’t pay
candy line landish the dirty pistol i branded
glad they didn’t have camera phone when i was young doin’ bad sh-t
yeah. i just dated myself, i’m no spring chicken, but why you hated yoself?
for five minutes of fame, find yoself like cat stats, knocked outta the frame
locked in the cages, and ? was true, you backwards hustlin’, homie
you snitchin’ on you
i’m on my daycard, vip by paris dado
prehistoric talents twist the top off the bottle
my air is cl-ssic, tyrannosaurus rex in the lab sh-t
lamurs park so i p-ss it jur-ssic
(hook)
i can think back, but life goes on, so keep livin’
can’t take a thing back, but life goes on, so keep livin’
there a couple things that… maybe i would if i could
forgive myself for the unforgiven
yeah, i throw this drink back, but life goes on, so keep livin’
(verse 2)
in order to recollect exceptional memories
i developed a way to transfer brain wave into binary code from energy
translate algorithms, diverted the information to digital
upload and compile files of wisdom that projected the more on screen
livin’ beautiful scenes, tracks on greatest symphonies and hear in yo dreams
the alchemist, when kim gardner and kings was asking about alphabets
immaculate, but it’s part of me, master in calculus
teens from paris doin’ a scene when i was seven
experimenting on my brain, i been to ? and ?
and at age 13 i learned a mimic from the stream
molecules that transport molecular structures with the beam
these are my memories, soaked them in ? to fast forward the bad
and play the good in slow motion
now i ask for your project, -n-lyze guam
study h-onomics, bring back secrets from ‘nam
the governor asked me to track the locals from islam
they asked me the whereabouts of ?(bow clow lavon?!)
entrap my brain with catastrophic chatter that’s insane
to extract data from satellites from missed simulation planes
my memories, my memories, my memories
although from only just a week ago
my memories, my memories, my memories
(hook)
i can think back, but life goes on, so keep livin’
can’t take a thing back, but life goes on, so keep livin’
there a couple things that… maybe i would if i could
forgive myself for the unforgiven
yeah, i throw this drink back, but life goes on, so keep livin’
