Hurricane |
| Same story, same target, different time |
| Cyclical reaction from the prisoners of the bilnd |
| Trying to fight time, it’s a battle of the mind |
| Waiting for redemption, surviving in a bind |
| Same story, same target, different time |
| Cyclical reaction from the prisoners of the blind |
| Trying to fight time, it’s a battle of the mind |
| Waiting for redemption, surviving in a bind |
| Yo, talk about paying the ultimate price |
| Hurricane been incarcerated all of his life |
| Started out at like twelve |
| Trapped in a belly of hell |
| Grew into a man inside of a cell |
| Yo, anger just swell up |
| At a early age that develop |
| Hot head and now it ain’t shit y’all could tell him |
| They said he’s on a road to become a felon |
| But instead he swung blows that’ll spilt your melon |
| He did his thing and was the king of the ring, undisputed |
| Started making noise but they tried to mute it |
| They put him through it |
| For him to make the system look stupid, |
| They rather look you in the face and shoot it |
| And leave your spot looted |
| Or leave your whole life blank futured and caught |
| When you scream at it and do it |
| With sweat leaking from the outline of your soluid |
| Don’t understand the point that you at |
| Or how the hell you came to it? |
| Flashback to images of that night, out in Patterson |
| They pulled him over heading home from a gathering |
| And when they told him the charge it kind of baffled him |
| Murder in the first for the champ, we on that again? |
| Hurricane |
| Accuse a Hurricane |
| Ain’t change a damned shame |
| It’s life for Hurricane, Hurricane |
| Forever, imagine your locked down forever |
| Could y’all stand the weather? |
| Could you hold it together? |
| You tell me that you know the pain |
| Yo, imagine if your life was like a hurricane, a hurricane |
| Forever, imagine your locked down forever |
| Could ya’ll stand the weather? |
| You built for that weather? |
| Yo, know what’m saying? |
| Know what’m saying? |
| You gotta fight for what you believe in |
| Nobody knows the troubles seen |
| This flick left me wondering |
| 'What can become of kings and young kids?' |
| Summer dream deferred, incident occured, freedom blurred |
| A freedom that would only be retrieved again in words, later on |
| The cops, y’all know what they be on |
| A nigga’s life is like a field that they play upon, away and gone from |
| Natural lifer, a soul he had to fight |
| Learn it himself, sleep days, stay up half the night |
| Amongst dead man walking, he got afterlife exercising |
| Developing his knack to write |
| Never leaving his cell, in this world he trapped himself |
| What he loved on the outside world, detached himself |
| You know the cards Blacks get dealt by the system |
| He drew a picture of freedom with many dimensions |
| This picture proved to be bigger than Black and White |
| A young soul named Lesra brought him back to life |
| It’s amazing to a man what a book could do |
| And how certain books seem to look for you |
| This is the story of a champion’s fall and rise |
| The story left me wiping my eyes |
| Peace Ru |
| Hurricane |
| Accuse a Hurricane |
| Ain’t change a damned shame |
| It’s life for Hurricane, Hurricane |
| Yo, yo, forever, imagine your locked down forever |
| Could y’all stand the weather? |
| Could you hold it together? |
| You tell me that you know the pain |
| Yo, imagine if your life was like a hurricane, a hurricane |
| Forever and ever yo, locked down forever |
| Could you stand the weather? |
| Yo, yo i can’t even explain the pain |
| Just imagine if your life was like a hurricane |
| Yes, I am the inescapable, the irresistible |
| The unnegotiable, the unchallenged |
| I am time |
| I scroll in measurements, control the elements |
| I hold the evidence, I tell the story |
| I am time |
| I know no prejudice, I bare no sentiments |
| For wealth or settlement, I move forward |
| I am time |
| You can’t recover me, conceal or smuggle me |
| Retreat or run from me, crawl up or under me |
| You can’t do much for me besides serve |
| Me well and have good dividends returned to you |
| Or attempt to kill me off and have me murder you |
| Many have wasted me but now they are facing me |
| Treated me unfaithfully and now endure me painfully |
| Plaintively, I wait to see what history will shape to be |
| Who’s hearts will never die inside the sake of me |
| Angel’s scribe the page for me |
| Keep a full account of all the names for me |
| And make a special mark for Hurricane who (?) patiently |
| Hurricane |
| Accuse a Hurricane |
| Ain’t change a damned shame |
| It’s life for Hurricane, Hurricane |
| Yo, yo, a Hurricane forever |
| Imagine your locked down forever |
| Could you stand the weather? |
| Could you hold it together? |
| I can’t even explain the pain |
| Imagine if your life was like a hurricane, a hurricane |
| Forever, imagine your locked down forever and ever, ever |
| Could you hold it together? |
| Yo, can’t explain the pain with words, know’m saying? |
| Just imagine if your life was like a hurricane |
| The clouds clashed and the heaven’s gave birth to star |
| God placed it in a man on the day he was born |
| Convicted minutes after, a true natural disaster |
| Framed for manslaughter, the Hurricane Carter rising |
| From out the south water, like torrential rains |
| In the ring no opponent escaped unscathed |
| You can’t believe the world we live in’s injust |
| All I see is more proof, there’s no place for us |
| They had my man Carter locked in a cage, like an animal |
| Drive him to the point where the mind work mechanical |
| Or works by remote control |
| It was done to all of us, they tapped directly into our soul |
| Either it’s sing-sing, or it’s bars around your mind |
| There’s no where to run, no where to hide |
| In a six-by-six a guilty man cries |
| For repentance and lost is what innocence is |
| Same story, same target, different time |
| Cyclical reaction from the prisoners of the bilnd |
| Trying to fight time, it’s a battle of the mind |
| Waiting for redemption, surviving in a bind |
| Same story, same target, different time |
| Cyclical reaction from the prisoners of the blind |
| Trying to fight time, it’s a battle of the mind |
| Waiting for redemption, surviving in a bind |
| Hurricane |
| Accuse a Hurricane |
| Ain’t change a damned shame |
| It’s life for Hurricane, Hurricane |
| Your locked down forever |
| Could you stand the weather? |
| Could you hold it together? |
| I can’t even explain the pain, know’m saying? |
| Your life was like a hurricane, a hurricane |
| Forever, imagine behind bars forever |
| Could you stand the weather? |
| You built for that? |
| Is you cut for that? |
| Don’t be telling me that you know the pain |
| Your life was like a hurricane, yo |
| Same story, same target, different time |
| Cyclical reaction from the prisoners of the bilnd |
| Trying to fight time, it’s a battle of the mind |
| Waiting for redemption, surviving in a bind |
| Same story, same target, different time |
| Cyclical reaction from the prisoners of the blind |
| Trying to fight time, it’s a battle of the mind |
| Waiting for redemption, surviving in a bind |
