Some Seek Stardom Lyrics
[lauryn hill]
Ahhhhhh!
Check the crippled man, sittin in the
church
My conscience hurts, flesh like me hits the dirt
She’s
paralyzed from her feet to her thighs
And the man who pulled the trigger
didn’t even lose his necktie
Hi/i check jimmy cuttin hair at the
barbershop
He plays the bass guitar, like david plays the harp
His
knowledge name is greek, cause whenever he speaks
He’s got the wisdom
of king solomon bags in his eyes from no sleep
Sometimes he thought of
the fame in madison square garden
So some seek stardom, but they forget
harlem
But seeking first of all the kingdom of God is what my pops told
me
So if I fall, could the choir catch me
I flew away, on a
mountain, got tempted by satan
Got bitten by a cobra, but the lord took
my venom
So who’s side am I on? I’m on the righteous
Always
check the lyrics, no time to contradict
Chorus:
Some
seek stardom, then they forget harlem (3x)
They/brothers/sisters/families/people/we/brothers
Keep their pockets
full, but their souls run empty
Well aiyyo family I beseech you,
in the hopes that I may reach you
My mother taught me one day that this
mid-day would come someday
Born to talk that jive, with peaky hair grown
wild
And teachers disliked me, cause I knew where my culture be
So
now yeah mom I read history, I can’t neglect my passion see
Rock it’s
kind of new to me, cause my true love was poetry
White was good and bad
was black but black was just a massa lackey
Built for that b. nimble jack
and I’d like to save you from the wicked
D-dog clear I wouldn’t be
wet
The black to mourn, tomorrow’s death
The evil things, glad
that i, while angels wrote this violence why?
Help me make me comprehend
my black bezerk and why cast it
Time to blaze the angels nappy heads are
braided that you make me
See what’s hard for me that don’t make you
flee
When I enter your vicinity, you see my God ain’t never after me
So yo I be wised up with greek
To go and be, the last and good and see
what’s wrong with me
And through your insecurity of me and my
ability
So bredren won’t you let me be or has thou asked to much from
thy
To tell the truth and not to lie? oh my...
Chorus 2x
But as I grew, I knew cause the master told me
From a baby to a
woman from a woman to a baby
Life is so short, hardcore becomes
hard-corpse
Step in a coffin where the money’s no longer the source
*singing*
There we go, there we go, there we go
I got mine now
won’t you get yours, we never open doors
So we neglect, and don’t
protect the ones that’s not
People never really seem to care
And
then they cry out, "my people! why aren’t we treated equal? "
As we flee, we flee our own communities
We leave our family in
poverty
And then we blame it on another, so family please recover
Oh c’mon please come now with you can come with me now and blow now
If you want to, we’re through...
Chorus 4x
