kabeh - locomotive lyrics
(intro)
“the measure of a man
is what he does with power.” -pittacus
long time ago
let’s go
(chorus)
i could run this sh-t like a locomotive
pullin’ weight through an innate poet
need a moment to retrain the brain for flowin’
knowin’, i could make ‘em notice
i could toot my own horn and still make ‘em proud
got a platform and a crowd, need a toke to go in
blowin’ all day, on the loud
steady rollin’ like a locomotive
(verse 1)
let me move ‘em forward
i think i got a window when they all [are bored/aboard]
when the mood’s abhorrent
and the tune is a crescendo toward a truthless lore
i’ll spend a little time gettin’ more support
shed a little light through an open door
i’m tellin you some minds trained through manure
we knew fox news just want the war
then they salivate
just b-tches conditioned to exacerbate
sh-ttin on the vision to quell the hatred
pumpin through their veins when they can’t debate me
now i’m masticating
b-tch chew on that, now who’s the match?
we the biggest generation still on the rise
just tryna widen eyes ‘til you realize
(chorus)
we could run this sh-t like a locomotive
pullin’ weight through an innate poet
need a moment to retrain the brain for flowin’
knowin’, we could make ‘em notice
we could toot our own horn and still make ‘em proud
got a platform and a crowd, need a vote to go in
blowin’ all day, on the loud
steady rollin’ with a local motive
(bridge)
the measure of a man, or woman, is what they do with power
it’s simple to project that thought, onto those in the tower
but, what do we do with ours?
i know i could be louder
(chorus)
run this sh-t like a locomotive
pullin’ weight through an innate poet
need a moment to retrain the brain for flowin’
knowin’, we could make ‘em notice
we could toot our own horn and still make ‘em proud
got a platform and a crowd, need a vote to go in
blowin’ all day, on the loud
steady rollin’ with a local motive
(verse 2)
yo, listen up
this gone too far with the [fisticuffs / fist-of-cuffs]
imprisoned us in debt and drugs
when all we want is to live and love
all we want is to hold our own
build a future and own a home
[see r.i.p / c.r.i.p ] in the [g.o.p / ‘g’ op]
that overreach don’t come for free, no more
now we woke
now see through smoke
worth the time to lift the cloak
cause you we see sh-t, now you vote
goin toe-to-toe
til’ they on the ropes
we won’t back down til’ we knock ‘em out
time we let ‘em know
(chorus)
we gon’ run this sh-t like a locomotive
knowin’, we gon’ make ‘em notice
got a platform and a crowd and a vote to go in
steady roll in, with the [local motive/locomotive]
(outro)
if we coalesce in the present, we can affect change
but our demise lies in the message
that the best way to the next phase
is to attest faith in the same names that got us to this stage
together, we could take this into a new age
elect true representatives for the struggles that we face
but only if the complacency stops
and only if the names we drop in the ballot box aren’t bought-off
through the one-eights on up, let’s run it
