CLA CLA CLA SHA KLACK KLACK
GET ME THE FUCK OFF THIS TRACK
as if the heart beat wasn't enough
they got us using drum machines now
the hums of the machines
tryin to make our drums humdrums
tryin to ???? our magic
insturments be political prisioners up inside computers
as if the heart were not enough
as if the heart were not enough
and as heart beats bring percussions
fallen trees bring reprocussions
citys play upon our souls like broken drums
redrum the essence of creation from city slums
but city slums mute our drums and our drums become humdrums
cuz city slums have never been where our drums are from
just the place where our daughters and sons become
offbeat heartbeats
slaves to city streets
and hearts get broken and heartbeats stop
broken heartbeats become breakbeats for niggas to rhyme on top, but..
i won't rhyme on top no tracks
niggas on a chain gang used to do that (Huh) way back
i won't rhyme over tracks
niggas on a chain gang used to do that (Huh) way back
don't drop the beat no
don't drop the beat noooo
not untill you'
