Brand Nubian - A Child Is Born - Sözleri

[Lord Jamar - interpolation of Grandmaster Flash's "The Message"]


A child is born with no state of mind


Blind to the ways of mankind


God is smiling on you but He's frowning too


Because only God knows what you'll go through, uhh


A child is born with no state of mind


Blind to the ways of mankind


God is smiling on you but He's frowning too





[Sadat X]


He grew up in an instant, the fourth of seven children


The oldest male on the block was half and half


Brown stones to neck bones, crack jonez to tones


Where young girls spread out and drop seeds like they're farmers


They're old as their momma's, the same age as their aunt


and the neighbourhood drunk men


and that lady with the dreaded disease is like hard to please


And the house of ill fate with the metal gate


Keep the thin people cracked out like munchkin monks


The ole man with the fruit stand is on his man


His hand, his ole heart just can't stand


the CPR as they load him in the back of a car


I'm on a world tour to help free the poor


From the local drug cats to kids in front of the store


Number runners, gangbangers and the big money spenders


Reality check rings as we descend from the king





[Grand Puba]


Now a child is born with no state of mind


Blind to the ways of mankind


God is smiling on you but He's frowning too


Because only God knows what you'll go through


A child is born with no state of mind


Blind to the ways of mankind


God is smiling on you but He's frowning too


Because only God knows....





[Lord Jamar]


The home's filled with horror in my horoscope


Tomorrow I could be broke, this ain't a joke


I'm twenty dollars away from bein dead ass


I'm bout to spend half on a bag to get my head blast


Last week I lost to justice cypher born


and spawned a riff with my wiz


now she dead with my kids


I live by the subway, niggas push drugs in my hallway


All day everyday tryin to get the pay


And I be tryin ta find a better way


You see, when you're poor then you're forced to adore to raw play


Survival be a forte, lookin forward to-a robble up your food stamps


Projects' like boot camps


wit generals cookin chemical warfare


Ki's to a mayor, I ain't seen ya ass in four years


The law bears down on anybody that's brown


My complexion puts me in the direction of the section 8


Rejection seems to be my fate


As a kid, don't wanna ship my momma, always said I had to wait


And it's been drama up to date


Enough to traumatise people's lives and the eyes they try to fixate





[Sadat X]


A child is born with no state of mind


Blind to the ways of mankind


God is smiling on you but He's frowning too


Because only God knows what you'll go through


A child is born with no state of mind


Blind to the ways of mankind


God is smiling on you but He's frowning too


Because...





[Grand Puba]


Born into existance with some resistance


A struggle comin out my ol' earth's womb


It was little past noon, three months before June


I had a feelin I was headed toward the land of doom


I came out and the doctor got ready to smack


I grabbed the 'bilical cord and tried to pull myself back


but it was too late for that cos in fact


I'll slit the sack so I gotta maintain where I'm at


Now I'm here breathin this diff'rent kind of air


Poverty bound, headed for the welfare


Drug-infested, rat-infested, people drownin in sorrow at neighbourhood bars


Roaches bigger than my hot wheel cars


Dope fiends with swollen arms lookin like rotten wood


turn to crack monsters up and down the neighbourhood


Liquor store business soar as the crowd pour


or thru the corridors, echoin off the project walls


That's why the Gods say





[Lord Jamar]


A child is born with no state of mind


Blind to the ways of mankind


God is smiling on you but He's frowning too


Because only God knows what you'll go through, uhh


A child is born with no state of mind


Blind to the ways of mankind


God is smiling on you but He's frowning too


Because only God knows what you'll go through, uhh
