Q-tip Johnny Is Dead Lyrics

Johnny Is Dead Lyrics

(verse I)

Sometimes I phase out when I look at the screen

And I
think about my chance for me to intervene

And its up to me to bring back
the hopeful

feeling in the music that you can quote

not saying that
I hate it 

'cause yeah, I kinda dig it

But what good is an ear if a
Q-Tip isn't in it



So this year get in

and inform your
friend

your boy from the hood 

is on that shit again



he's upped the degrees

and dropped the mercury

to splash on the
mass

from low to upperclass



and when the record spins

it sometimes blows a wind

a fickleness of fans

they sometimes
hate again



they always bring up Tribe by me

could not
survive, I mean

this is my mans, I mean

this is my fams



and here's somethin' new

it's front row for you

so don't
misconstrue

its tribal and true



my dudes who hustle hard

will stop your repetoire

as long as you can see

its you who's
stayin' free



'cause life is filled with 'cerns

keep pills
and little burns

and shit, I'm fuckin' up I mean

I'm trippin' out




but still there is a void

and people get annoyed

let's focus on the feel

before we get a deal 

c'mon



(Chorus) 

Figuring life can't be a thing

the wilderness is wild
to me

but you're not alone I see we're just the same

figuring out
where we should be



Figuring life can't be a thing

the
wilderness is wild to me

but you're not alone I see we're just the
same



(verse II)

Moving while we can

to put back on the
street

let's take care of ours

and ensure we eat



and
opening in

they critize the boys

without enmity

they lose all
the noise



they can't keep us down

we're dominant and
brown

and those of other shades

they join our parade



but wait, there's rain ahead

like Brit and Kevin Fed

and magazine
debris

its shit you gotta see



I'm no diff'rent to you

I
goes through it too

I thumbs through the page

I don't come of
age



I'm not a deity

I'm far from perfect see

I roll a
tumbleweed

this's just a humble seed



that i present to
you

its just a mr. groove

with words of harmony

and soon a
melody



that speaks to where we are

the door of hopes
ajar

and soon we walkin' in

uplifted just to say 

c'mon



Chorus 2x
