Brother Ali Pay Them Back Lyrics

Pay Them Back Lyrics

Blood on beats



Tears have been shed

Lives have been lost

Blood has been spilled



Blood on beats



Damn, look at em sittin there, cats missin their chance

Pissin their pants for opportunities and disappear into a bar stool

Pardon you for thinkin I forgot about

The way that children act when the stars come out

It would be too much like right for them to tune up their sight and then

Pursue something tight within, the blue ugly life they're in

Liked your grimace but I must admit it's been a while

Since my outer adult disciplined your inner child

I've taught you the limits now when I crack your slumber

I expect you to say, "Thank you sir, can I have another?"

Your chance to wonder is up hollering enough talkin

So they won't be caught off guard when I'm knockin the dust off em

Plus tossin em in a moshpit, my village sacrifices virgin rappers

Who don't do the Rites of Passage

Curl em backwards till they faces touch they asses

Mail em off to Paraguay and don't insure the package

Burned your vermin asses, learned your nervous habits

In turn my current status lefts serpents swervin backwards

I rock parties where half the crowd is rappers

And analyze my diction as if their opinion matters

I splatter patterns of poetic eloquence

Mutterin bone shudderin utterin sense, they fluter and twitch

The ironic part of it is, I ain't tryin to scare these kids

Just tryin to connect them to the heritage



Beneath the outer layer the train is black

You just don't disrespect the people that lay the tracks

You love this human expression and they gave you that

And so the least y'all can do is try and pay em back

I said beneath the outer layer the train is black

You just don't disrespect the people that lay the tracks

You love this human expression and they gave you that

And so the least y'all can do is try and pay em back



You ain't the first, you will not be the last

Contribute

Do your shit, step the fuck off

You're not half as important as you think you are

Blood on beats

Blood on beats
