Fake Bonanza
Mos Def
Fake Bonanza 歌詞
[Verse 1]Hip hop, modern time, flossy and raw so self-absorbed, immature
I cant remember being this bored
Fake bonanza, there come real wars
Bullets burn through the candy on the driver side door
Long investigations and no firm lead, billion dollar flow
And black life is still cheap
Your rent skyrockets and yall prospects plummet
Ten murders, ten days, this summer
Talk about todays mathematics, a eighth, an
O, a keyAnd the caliber on your rack, shit
The inmate number, the centerfolds for measurement
Is close as a coed cell come to some tendon-is
I heard them say it was all about the
BenjaminsI dont believe it now, didnt believe it then, fuck wutcha heard
You believe wutcha want, the truth is what it is, it be what it been
Get rich , shorty just tryna live
Dont believe in heaven and aint tryna get in
And hell is everyday, fuck the world anyway
Potion and sips, spark up a clip,
FADE AWAY![Hook]
The low lights, tree top heights
Be careful how you move the traps are covered in the lights
Landmines be disguised as welcome signs
Ill repeat it so you aint got to press rewind
The landmines be disguised as welcome signs
Black fresh from
Iraq, a wild look in his eyes, missing part of his arm
What the fuck is your problem!?
Ohh lord!
Fake Bonanza![Verse 2]
Gladiator, circus world
Glamour, pussy, pimp, ho good to serve this world
Paranoid, if she trick a nigga nervous world
Shade-tonic natural order in reversal world
The ipod,no
God, zero circle world
The blow-a turtle world, smoke from the purple world
The killer murder world, hamburger murder world
Open twenty-four hours, all about them dollars
Pretty poison, devoid choices
Cold coffee and more coffers, fake bonanza [2x]
Huh? What?
I dont understand ya!
What they talking bout save they soul, ohh lord, save they soul!
Help them reach the goal, peace! [4x]
You know, peace [3x], boogieman!
Dont be scared
Ohh lord, save they soul [2x]
Ohh lord, save my soul [2x]
PleaseBoogieman[Outro]
Woke up this morning with my, my state dont fade and said
IHad the baddest feeling, maybe you stayed on my mind, said
I [2x]Woke up this morning in my, my state,
Im dreaming, dreaming
Aint nothing even.....dreaming, praying, keeping
Woke up this morning and my mind stayed on freedom
Woke up this demon that keep staying on my mind
Said, woke up this morning and my mind stayed on freedom
It makes no difference what people say,
