Lyrics : Alive & Well
My mom and dad threw gardens, and would invite lots of friends
And they would dance to the records that my pops would spin
And from [?] I could feel my head pop within, before birth
A love for music's what I got from them, then as a toddler
Dad would put a mic in my hand in front of my fam I would sing like Micheal and dance
The King of Pop, I wanted to be just like him
But my dreams and aspirations were changed on a night when
Searching for cartoons on a tube I stopped on video music box, so
Amused I watched a choice is yours, a black sheep
Mahn it was a fat beat, it was the first rap to attract me, and then the play scenario
Q-Tip and Bust' going back to back
My mind was blown, my life ain't been the same after that
Cause from then on I was a full fledged Hip hopper, the lyrics kept me in a trance like a witch doctor
I would listen to the grimiest dudes but the violence they spewed shaped my mind and my views
They bragged about what a life of crime can produce, the money, the cars, the clothes, the diamonds, the jewels
I was poor so I thought I'd try on they shoes
There lifestyle is something that I would pursue
But what they did was live me in the darkness, I became like them and lost me in the process, mahn
Mahn
*clears throat*
Yeah, so
Yeah, so
When we first started rapping, right
There was no industry for it
It was no money, no award shows, it was just pure
We saw it as an untapped mission field, you know
A place where we could take the gift of rap and provide not just an alternative but an antidote for people that were being poisoned by the bad (The bad)
And they would dance to the records that my pops would spin
And from [?] I could feel my head pop within, before birth
A love for music's what I got from them, then as a toddler
Dad would put a mic in my hand in front of my fam I would sing like Micheal and dance
The King of Pop, I wanted to be just like him
But my dreams and aspirations were changed on a night when
Searching for cartoons on a tube I stopped on video music box, so
Amused I watched a choice is yours, a black sheep
Mahn it was a fat beat, it was the first rap to attract me, and then the play scenario
