Blue Scholars - The Ave lyrics
[Blue Scholars - The Ave lyrics]
I be a patient man waiting for
The rain to come down
My feet touch the ground but
My head's in the clouds
I be Prometheus Brown stealing the
Fire out of heaven
The setting is several city blocks
Off the 71 stop
I walk about the District, distracted by
The decadent madness of all
The undergrads and addicts
Club rats, heads, space cadets and pragmatics
One of the few places that
They coexist on the planet
Whatever happened to the Avenue before
The summer of 2002
Lounging with crew on 42nd
My, how time flies when we're
Waiting for the chariot
Eating vegan sandwiches with cannabis
Subtracting our sobriety
Pondering society it'self
He's eyeing me like I ain't going
To bring it to his health he don't want it
Cause certainly he knows he's just another
Sucker without his fraternity brothers
To back him up
Campus Parkway up to 41st, 42nd, 43rd, 45th
And up to 47th to the edge of the bubble
All delinquents they laugh, they sayin'
Fuck class, get your education on The Ave
Campus Parkway up to 41st, 42nd, 43rd, 45th
And up to 47th to the edge of the bubble
All delinquents they laugh, they sayin'
Fuck class, get your education on The Ave
I be a patient man
Waiting and checking for the sound
Of potential break records up
At Second Time Around in fact
We made this track from a sample we jacked
From some vinyl we dug up out
Of the crates on The Ave
Rats escape the lab, infestations 'n all
There be cracks on the sidewalk
Made from the fall
A natty dreadlock strumming on
His broken guitar
Singing Babylon Fall outside of the bookstore
I purchased a journal in which
The verses I recite, reside
I write vividly to capture the vibe
I'm like "Hey kid, walk straight
Master your high
If you listen you can hear the
Eye of the city cry"
The sound is often drowned
By hollering scholars
Intoxicated so save it for
The coffee shop philosophers
The so-called artists
The poets and the prophets
Scenery is changing, and nobody can stop it
Campus Parkway up to 41st, 42nd, 43rd, 45th
And up to 47th to the edge of the bubble
All delinquents they laugh, they sayin'
Fuck class, get your education on The Ave
Campus Parkway up to 41st, 42nd, 43rd, 45th
And up to 47th to the edge of the bubble
All delinquents they laugh, they sayin'
Fuck class, get your education on The Ave
The rain to come down
My feet touch the ground but
My head's in the clouds
I be Prometheus Brown stealing the
Fire out of heaven
The setting is several city blocks
Off the 71 stop
I walk about the District, distracted by

Club rats, heads, space cadets and pragmatics
