Chin High (Manuvadelics Version) - Ricky Ranking/Roots Manuva.mp3

[00:26.73]Fuel injection on a blank page
[00:28.68]My mental splurges and emerges from nothing
[00:31.71]I'm the forgotten
[00:32.97]The nude that got caught with two keys in his bottom
[00:36.06]We don't know him, we don't owe him
[00:39.24]Poetic justice with no poem
[00:42.18]I study my art 'til I'm blue in the face
[00:45.09]No time to waste, my heart's on the plate
[00:48.18]The soul and life force dancing on the timelines
[00:51.39]These ain't rhymes no more, they're straight sermons
[00:53.94]For urban suburban Babylonian contours
[00:57.36]Raw roll up raw, sounds of war
[00:59.97]To drown out the police and their tracking device
[01:03.24]Brings back to mind how they mack on the ice
[01:05.58]'Cause they transmit and receive
[01:07.41]Best know the beast will listen
[01:09.45]Throw your glitz as they strip your assets
[01:12.18]How vexed thou art, but you are playing a part
[01:14.97]In your own damn demise
[01:16.74]You money-grips need to get more wise
[01:21.06]Chin high, puffed chest, we step right to it
[01:23.97]The choice is there ain't no choice but to pursue it
[01:27.15]Chin high, puffed chest, we step right to it
[01:30.27]The choice is there ain't no choice but to pursue it
[01:32.79]Chin high, puffed chest, we step right to it
[01:34.11]The choice is there ain't no choice but to pursue it
[01:35.70]Pursue it, pursue it
[01:51.78]My I-tal views come from this I-tal brew
[01:54.63]Something about these struggles and the things they do
[01:57.63]The peace-bringers, quote-key-quote singers
[02:00.75]That ring us for nothing in this marketplace
[02:03.45]Could be target grace, a new-tical movement
[02:06.96]Bringing an improvement to mind and soul
[02:09.87]Life's a *****, we tired of the *****ing
[02:11.70]Them cheap escape routes got me here twitching
[02:16.02]How much money must we waste 'til we see
[02:18.63]Them self-made heroes that we make for ourself
[02:21.90]Goodbye old me, say hello to the new
[02:24.51]Please Lord Jesus, help me get through
[02:28.17]Can I be a man for my baby boo
[02:31.98]What's a grown man supposing he to do
[02:33.42]When the world at large be scared of the truth
[02:38.10]I got good reason to be uncouth
[02:38.79]Like a big wide hole in the top of your roof
[02:40.56]And I really don't got much nice to say
[02:41.64]When day-to-day is pure bills to pay
[02:42.90]So how am I supposed to change my ways
[02:44.43]When this world at large seems to lead me astray
[02:45.57]Chin high, puffed chest, we step right to it
[02:46.56]The choice is there ain't no choice but to pursue it
[02:49.71]Chin high, puffed chest, we step right to it
[02:50.64]The choice is there ain't no choice but to pursue it
[02:51.93]Chin high, puffed chest, we step right to it
[02:52.80]The choice is there ain't no choice but to pursue it
[02:55.02]Pursue it, pursue it
[02:55.44]Transfixed by an apparent
[02:56.07]Will in the way
[02:56.34]To seize the day
[02:56.61]Accept us to social fray
[02:57.36]Most remember what the media push
[02:58.17]There goes the crooks who fiddle the books
[02:59.10]And run scot-free 'cause money reigns supreme
[03:01.47]In the gene of the fiends
[03:01.95]Chemical warfare
[03:10.29]Biological warfare
[03:13.50]The near is never seen
[03:14.07]Man and machine
[03:15.75]Getting into things
[03:19.53]While some claim road and some claim blame
[04:29.76]Oblivious to the time that we're living in
[04:30.60]The misled mislead
[04:31.02]Afflicted by the greed
[04:31.50]Government man keep fighting down the ****
[04:32.67]While they boost up the booze, the prozac and methodone
[04:43.44]And use the taxpayer's money to develop their clones
[04:44.61]Misinformation
[04:45.06]Mass sedation
[04:45.45]Nations baited for spiritual rapings
[04:46.47]Chin high, puffed chest, we step right to it
[04:51.69]The choice is there ain't no choice but to pursue it
[04:52.68]Chin high, puffed chest, we step right to it
[04:56.10]The choice is there ain't no choice but to pursue it
[04:57.03]Chin high, puffed chest, we step right to it
[04:59.79]The choice is there ain't no choice but to pursue it
[05:06.03]Pursue it, pursue it...
