Lyrical Sobriety - Tim McMorris.mp3

[00:01.33]Have you seen, what’s coming on the horizon, waking up to tomorrow’s life,
[00:11.01]to find that the answer is gone, the answer is gone
[00:15.14]I’m bringin’ it down, I’m bringin’ it down, so turn it up
[00:17.23]I’m here to bring a flow that puts a chill down your neck
[00:18.82]Ya’ the kind you get when you start to feel that you can connect
[00:20.72]To the words of my rhyme, as you listen, one at a time
[00:22.61]They begin to take shape and bring an image into your mind
[00:24.76]One that helps you to see cause in this world there’s so many lies
[00:26.68]And so many people livin’ in a phony disguise
[00:28.60]So now I’m here to help you out and bring about their decline
[00:30.83]By given you a rhyme that leaves you with a tingling spine
[00:32.68]That reacts with your head, to wake up, what seemed like it was dead
[00:34.74]So you can stand up, with your hand up and repeat what I said
[00:36.55]To stop the media money makers that ruin society
[00:38.62]The ones who try to put a stop to lyrical sobriety
[00:41.41]Yeah, and now there’s so many complications
[00:43.07]And many people now in screwed up situations
[00:45.31]Because of what we let walk into our lives, through our ears and our eyes
[00:47.62]And yet we still act surprised
[00:49.11]I will fight, I will fight so hard, to help you to see, but does anyone care?
[01:00.08]Does anyone care?
[01:04.50]I will fight, I will fight so hard, to help you to see, but does anyone care?
[01:16.37]Does anyone care…. I think not cause’ I still hear the guns go
[01:19.60]Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, there’s another one
[01:23.59]Another brother gone, another mother lost her son
[01:25.35]Another young life, wonder what he would have done
[01:27.17]But now he’ll never have a chance to grow and be someone
[01:29.09]I wish it were a story, but the lyrics are real
[01:31.16]And as I’m sitting pennin’ out this rhyme I can’t help but feel
[01:32.77]For the all the victims of our culture that we have created
[01:34.50]That’s loves the brutal display of racism, violence and hatred
[01:36.86]And I know a thousand songs, have said the same thing
[01:38.47]But we don’t change; we don’t listen to the message they bring
[01:40.64]We want to live it up, let someone else, undo what was done
[01:42.62]And so the cycle goes, I guess it makes a thousand-and-one
[01:44.73]I wish now that I was done, but really I’ve just begun
[01:46.89]To dig into the corruption that’s systematically run
[01:48.85]By the music corporations that are plaguing our nation
[01:50.81]That simply take a seat and watch the death of young aspiration
[01:53.25]I will fight, I will fight so hard, to help you to see, but does anyone care?
[02:08.04]Does anyone care?
[02:10.10]I will fight, I will fight so hard, to help you to see, but does anyone care?
[02:24.77]Does anyone care?
[02:25.18]But people still trippin, societies slippin’, so here’s some more
[02:28.80]I tried to bring this message when I did hurting land,
[02:30.02]But now I see that you don’t learn, or maybe don’t understand
[02:30.83]Maybe the music was too slow, so I’ll say it again
[02:34.36]But in a different way to reach all those who wouldn’t extend
[02:36.73]A kind word of gratitude some got nothing but attitude
[02:38.74]Say I’m hatin’, well I am, we’re not on the same latitude
[02:40.20]I shove it down your throat, cause’ you shove it down mine
[02:40.96]I have to sit and listen to your garbage rhyme after rhyme
[02:42.66]About the guns, b*****s, violence and glorified crime
[02:44.48]Same old thing that’s on the radio all of the time
[02:46.28]So though you came to get yours, now I’m here to get mine
[02:48.45]And if this makes it to the airwaves man that’ll be fine
[02:50.33]I don’t expect it though cause’ I’m only keeping it real
[02:52.44]I only sing and rap about the true things that I feel
[02:54.36]Someone has to bring flow that will keep you alert
[02:56.29]Someone to tell it like it is, even if it’ll hurt
[02:58.37]I will fight, I will fight so hard, to help you to see, but does anyone care?
[03:09.75]Does anyone care?
[03:14.99]I will fight, I will fight so hard, to help you to see, but does anyone care?
[03:25.81]Does anyone care?
[03:30.07]And now the radio plays a song and all of us will sing along
[03:34.65]Hypnotized, captivated, sitting back while were sedated
[03:39.46]With the beat of the new song, they spent a million dollars on
[03:43.09]A brand new artist once a week, just pluck another from the street
[03:46.89]And children fall into the game; they grow up only wanting fame
[03:50.80]To be the people that they see, the radio and the TV
[03:54.93]Is what they’re fed and now they’ll be a victim of society
[03:58.94]And later as the kids go up we wonder why they self-destruct
