t-bone - to da river (movie version) lyrics
[the o’jays]
i’m gonna lay down my burden child
down by the riverside (yeah, down)
down by the riverside (ah, down)
say i, i, i
i’m gonna lay down my burden
(down by)
down by the riverside
study war no more
study war no more
said i’m going down to the river
gonna put my foot in
gonne let it go up to my knees
gonna let it go down to my thighs
and i ain’t gonna study war no more
study war no more
study war no more
study war no more
[lil zane]
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
all that street corner, barbershop harmony
that’s cool, right?
we got some new hip-hop in monte carlo georgia for y’all tonight
yo, briggs
[t-bone]
i’m sick of packin’ all these nines, slingin’ dimes
and smokin’ on the marijuana
chillin’ with pretty mommas from havana in the bahamas
plus demons tryin’ to see me hot like i’m in the sauna
and i’m just tryin’ to get ya loose kinda like madonna
[lil zane]
call everybody i know, tell ’em it’s time to go
me and bee-z in the ’64 sittin’ real low
’bout to roll to the riverside
put that liquor to the side
ain’t no need for gettin’ high; stay alive, payin’ t-the
[t-bone]
plus, el shaddai, eloyhim got me trippin’ y’all
never really laid down my burdens
’cause i don’t wanna be left and burnin’
flirtin’ with death and ain’t promised my last breath
dressed in prison blues, holy spirit got me under arrest
[lil zane]
i used to be a thug, sold drugs, might -ssault ya
stepped up in the church, got converted at the altar
and i don’t fault ya, fell back and he caught ya
out tryin’ to floss better live what he taught ya
[hook: montell jordan & t-bone]
going down
(we going down to the river, take it to the river)
going down, baby
(yo, down to the river, take it to the river)
going dow-ow-ow-own
going down, baby
(we going down to the river)
[lil zane]
wasn’t for him, i wouldn’t be alive
chastised for tellin’ lies, since then baptized
look in my eyes, can you see the pain?
why does the sun shine when it rain?
hard times got me feelin’ daddy never did a thang
i’m god’s chosen he put me in a rolls and
keeps my wrists frozen, never brown nosin’
like an explosion, i cause a commotion
spit the truth like a prophet, i talk to the ocean
people fear what they can’t understand
i thank god that i can, i stay focused keepin’ him in my plan
never losin’ my faith, haters gonna try to degrade
gotta be in my state of mind or relate
gotta know this is the end and ain’t no time to waste
time to face your fate and i pray you don’t end up in a lake
do whatever it takes, so many mistakes we made
but we gon’ all get it right when we down by the riverside
[hook: montell jordan & t-bone]
going down
(we going down to the river, take it to the river)
going down, baby
(yo, down to the river, take it to the river)
going dow-ow-ow-own
going down, baby
(we going down to the river)
[t-bone]
i’m gonna lay down…
all of my glocks and automatics
i’m charismatic like crack addicts
ya wreak havoc like road ragers in bad traffic
it gets drastic but he’s fantastic in attracting
no more packin’, now we’re fastin’
[?] p-ssion
how can i get this life everlastin’
sick of blastin’ and dashin’
flashin’ like charles manson
he payed the ransom
now i’m glory, holler, dancin’
i’m flippin’ and rippin’ and
comin’ with lyrical styles y’all never heard
tryna reach them partners that be on them covers flippin’ birds
forget the english spit rhymes para mi gente
buster and javanni bringin’ beats like t-to puente
salsa, merengue, ritmos calientes
azuca sabroso para ti y para mi
headin’ down to the riverside so i can let the old man die
when i come out of the water a new man finna come alive
revived with the holy ghost with tears in my eyes
