Black Star, Yummy Bingham - No fear of time lyrics

No fear of time his children will be the way
If he's given the white world hell
What will his children do?
This wasn't no play-thing
The motive is that the seed of a man
Chosen by God must not be wasted

Run away, that's the plan
Live above the grave none is safe
I see the pain on a mother's face
A ton of grace is what she showed
As they took away her first-born
She didn't break
She didn't look away because of race
They said her life wasn't valuable
But that was fake
They said a wound create capital
But that was rape they say because she black
That it's impossible
To be racist but they assume
That racism is logical


We know better, we know metals
No rose petals
Hiding in the shadows like Wesley
Snipes in Mo' Better
They play Oppression Olympics
Looking for gold medals we don't settle

You know, a long time ago
Being crazy meant something
Nowadays, everybody's crazy on
Keep on float on
No fear of time float on
Float ladies and gentleman
You know what I'm saying?

A message from the ancient future
A fresh fossil
A piece of the buried gospel that
The Earth refused to swallow
A seed grown into a tall tree, long sleeves
Ripe fruit and eating off the leaves
Warm breeze
Live from the summer that the incline
And this has been everything
Beside a short ride (Short ride)
Marks the greatness, battle scars and bruises
Seen there is clarity, clashes and confusion
Live from the summer that the incline
And this has been everything
Beside a short climb
We done survived and thrived and
Where others have died and
Bed-Stuy, do or die, so, do is what I did
Get it on, get her done, another one
Another one banging mad lyrics um
You can feel a different run
Where they get their rhythm
From, the tipping point, tOP?
Black Star reconvened
Boulevard of Anne Greene
That Kings County keep creating kings
Who make amazing and creative things
So give thanks for the aliquant raw
The elemental is sharp
God give us the design and we
Assemble an ark and just float

On (Nowadays, everybody's crazy) keep on
Float on no fear of time
Float on float
It was water then (Ladies and gentleman)
But it's fire next
(You know what I'm saying?)
That's a promise not a threat, check

Everybody had to think about what was
Possible for a black artist
You know, within the international
The mainstream scene and, uh, I mean
And that opening was there because of Hip-Hop
I want to thank you for
Helping me reach the understanding
The doors cracked open a little bit
The people downtown were looking
For some new energy
And they were already feeling it from just
The presence of kids from Brooklyn
I want to thank you for
Helping me reach the understanding, yeah
Being downtown or being in the East Village
They had the same type of impact
That the jazz cats had
I want to thank you for
Helping me reach the understanding
And they were coming with, like
A new culture
A culture that was new, that was dynamic
That was sophisticated (Sophisticated)
I want to thank you for
Helping me reach the understanding, yeah
The albums were theory books
They're guide books too
You know what I mean?
I want to thank you for
Helping me reach the understanding
When they were fourteen, fifteen
They grabbed onto this thing
So they learned all that material
I want to thank you for
Helping me reach the understanding, yeah
You know, I mean, one of the things
We know about emcees is, man
They just have phenomenal memories
(Phenomenal memories, phenomenal memories
Phenomenal memories, phenomenal memories
Phenomenal
Memories, phenomenal memories, phenomenal
Memories, phenomenal memories
Phenomenal memories) phenomenal memories
Phenomenal memories phenomenal memories
Phenomenal memories phenomenal memories
Phenomenal memories phenomenal memories
Phenomenal memories phenomenal memories
Phenomenal memories phenomenal memories
Phenomenal memories
