Blood, Sweat and Tears |
As lightning strikes and thunder pounds, |
Over the grey skies of East London town, |
Prophecy K returns from the underground, |
Signified by the peoples crying, trumpet sounds, |
Yeah the system it tried to shut me down, |
But I been on my ting before Onyx was flinging guns around, |
Blood, sweat, and tears for years, |
It feels like my careers been in the dumping ground, |
Yeah this is how hunger sounds, |
And I’m the hunter now, 'Lash the lion-heart, |
A.k.a. |
the man behind the iron mask |
For ten years straight I been raising the iron bar, |
Tryna' breathe the life back into this dying art, |
So why try and part, when you’ll meet the same fate as that lion Scar, |
This game’s fake, full of two-faced, lie in grass |
Who will sell their soul and ass just to climb the charts, |
Yeah, but me I put in too much time in the graft, |
Refining my craft for labels to sign me for a minor advance, |
Picture K’lash miming on Trance, |
Now picture Dr. Dre beats/'lash, rhyming with stars, |
It’s all fate and I got mine in my grasp, |
Their all snakes, let them die in the past, |
But who knows what the future holds, |
These N.W.O. |
soldiers will probably shoot me cold, |
All because the truth was told, |
You should know I did it from the heart. |
I’m still here, pushing after several years, |
I’m still here, standing strong, never in fear, |
I’ll be still here after the dust settles and clears, |
I’ll be still here after the blood, sweat and the tears, |
I don’t do this for the happy ravers, or the aggie haters, |
I do this for the warriors and the gladiators, |
I do this for those whose lives you never cared about, |
Can’t pronounce their names, their origins, or their whereabouts, |
Those brought up around tragedy and sadness, |
Who adjusted and found normality in the madness, |
Fight the power, till I’m out of breathe like Malcolm X, |
You empower the powerful, I empower the powerless, |
They’ll play you on the radio if you rap about a Gucci belt, |
But rap about the government, you might aswell shoot yourself, |
Industry fairies, say I rap about conspiracy theories, |
Just to hide the fact they lyrically fear me, |
Got the eye of a tiger, the heart of a lion, |
The mind of a lifer, my stance is defiant, |
I rise like a phoenix immediate from the ashes, |
My existence is inconvenient for the masses, |
Though we are equal I despise an imitation, |
I live for my people, and die for liberation, |
I stand as a visionary; |
someone got plans of killing me, |
To literally vanish me physically like Aborigines, |
Hannibal with the mask, and an animal with the bars, |
I’m grappling with my shackles; |
I channel it through my art, |
Feel it in the ambience; |
Ch&ion: Heavyweight |
My life is nothing but my pride is something you could never take, |
Think I’m illusive?, or think I’m a nuisance? |
I swear these major labels must think that I’m stupid, |
Keep your 360's your convincing these dudes with, |
Like I’ll give you the blueprint for pimping my music,. |
I say that like K’Lash, he’s another lion, |
Every hardship from getting scarred to my brother dying, |
Spit all of it with or without a big audience, |
Through the Blood, Sweat &Tears I stand victorious! |
I’m still here, pushing after several years, |
I’m still here, standing strong, never in fear, |
I’ll be still here after the dust settles and clears, |
I’ll be still here after the blood, sweat and the tears, |
