Flowers for Guru
The question-the question-the question-the question remains
Which emcees will reign
Which ones will gain, how many suckers'll feel pain
Gifted, unlimited,rhymes, universal
They call me Murs but never once did I go commercial
Coltrane on the M-I-C
'Cause I would never K-E-N-N-Y-G
A lot of rappers go smooth jazz for new cash
Listening to Blue Bucks in traffic, making moves fast
The car paid for
Need I say more?
Forget how it looks, the house is what I save for
Plus some property, it's like playing Monopoly
Making mortgage payments instead of playing the lottery
Gotta live it up before your ticket's punched
If you ain't living your dream, you can't sit with us
Criss Cross applesauce, root chakra grounded
Your future is determined by the folks who you're surrounded
To me, music is the salvation of the world, the healing force of the world
So this hiphop
This rap music is so vital that they fear it
Because they don't understand it
And anytime you got a situation like that
People are gonna be misconstrued and misinformed
The question remains
Which emcees will reign
Which ones will gain, how many suckers'll feel pain
Pay homage to the Guru up on Sunset
My birthday, the same day that Rob One left
Rest in paint, LA hiphop saints
Cbs couldn't be stopped and to this day they still can't
Our era was savage, we got the mayor badges
Had to be above average, just so you could be established
Stabbing at America's dream, hoping it bleed
So I can siphon off a little more than I need
Moments of greed may feed you in this famine
These lines is jamming, plus I kick a couple lines in Spanish
Jesus te ama, pray, and stay away from drama
Everything I say on the track, I say it to my mama
No shame, bringing honor to her name
The Holy Father gave me life, my grandfather gave me game
Clearly man I try to save the world lyrically
And those who listen to my lyrics know that it's reality I'm kicking
It's lessons for the youth
1 on 1 dialog with the urban youth, to try to help them elevate their mindstate
And to expand their awareness as to the obstacles that are gonna be in their way
