K-os - Rise Like The Sun (Part I: The Dawn) lyrics

(all original rude boys know what do I,

so heed warning as I stand before you without sorrow,

driven eternally by the immortality of blackness,

which leaves me confused when gangstas die today,

the sun will still rise tommorrow)

Aiyo, pain stains my brain, I go insane

At times I wonder if I even know my name

Or who I be, who I perceive to be me

In a world where the fake get payed fully

You can't fool me, if you can't cycle the greenbacks

I mean that, so just chill with your feedback

And all, all that talk about billboard charts

Number one hits with no heart

Now where as a kite gets you high like the rising sun

I be breakin' brothers down and suprising 'em

With my lyrical prophocies, no one's stopping me

Cause I magnify words to high velocity

Sing this, do you know where you're going to?

Do you like the things that life is showing you?

Where are you going to?

[Chorus]

I rise like the sun sometimes, but then I fall

And like a black moon I rise when the night falls

And when the night falls, the mic illuminates

And it's the ultra-violet rays that keep me rising on my mission

I take a penny for your thoughts, a nickel for your desire

I got the vocab to set the world on fire

Now I remember laying back as a youth

Just looking at the sun, wondering about the truth

And how it's supposed to be

And how at times if the music felt close to me

Rocking spots since the age of sixteeen

You know what I mean, as I grab the microphone,

come correct and hit the scene

So let it fly baby, let if fly baby

I got the vocal canibus to get you high baby

You know these brothers rock the spot when it's all said and done

Definetly represent because we rise like the sun

[Chorus]

I'll save the vanity for your man and expanded to global spaces

You can see the cold heart looks on their faces

It's all a plan to exterminate the truest

Kos meditate like a microphone buddhist

Now, I'm not a teacher

Just trying to reach ya

I'll make you recognize

The sun will always rise

And even when the night falls, the moon illuminates brilliantly

It's all resellient, see

Sometimes I think about this world that we live in

And get fed up, and yo I think I want to give in

But it's the ultra-violet rays

Saving days

And stimulates my melonance

To eloquance

[Chorus]
