Blue Scholars - The Decisive Moment lyrics
[Blue Scholars - The Decisive Moment lyrics]
I keep calm when I'm angered
Cause they love when we panic
And we love when they panic but
With the power they granted
It's automatic they spasm we'll be
The first to be branded
The most sacrificial of lambs if
Their hands aren't clapping
I make it happen
My habit to tell 'em I'm yelling
Freedom since my tribe decapitated Magellan
And sent him back to his
Country with his body beheaded
He never made it around the world
But they still gave him credit
It ain't the truth cause I said it
It's the truth cause it happened
They wanted proof I said fuck it I'll
Give you that plus I'm rapping
They wanted points on my album
Trying to pull that Bob Arum
Exploiting Filipino champions but I'm
Seeing right past 'em
Better yet through with proving my
Movement is an illusion
Was nineteen when I got that conclusion
They said "Geo
Why you ain’t doing collaborations?"
What you talking ‘bout, you must be mistaken
I collab’ with publications who
Want me opionatin’
Building with academics who quotin’
Me in their paper
Organizing labor, write with film makers
Cue notes to public offenders
Calling the mayor let ‘em know that we
Don’t condone PD behaviour
Work with small businesses owners
Trying to make it
Teaching after-school photography classes and
Turning brown knuckleheads into
Musicians whose music you will be slappin’
So with that on my plate I
Ain’t concerned with you rapper
I’m more concerned my kids don’t
End up like you rapper
You really think I’m holding you back
I’m here trying not to laugh while you
Walk through the doors I run laps
This is me at half speed, imagine when I
Mash my pace you try to match it
Wait you stuck in traffic get a pass man
Go to class this is not my first
Lap and most certainly not the last
Giving thanks to the farmers and
The workers when I eat
Dream all you want but you
Can’t fight when you’re asleep
Talk is staying relevant ain’t
Relevant to me
That virtual attention they reflected
In the street
Me and Waka Flocka Flame different but
Agree it’s independence that we seek
Fuck this industry repeat, fuck
This industry repeat
Fuck this industry repeat you try to board a
Sinking ship that shit hilarious to me
I know college educated folk with
Various degrees who be
Dumber than the average mo’fucker
In the street
Bet it’s hard to know there’s places I
Can go you never reach and
The best that you can do is
Say "that Geo dude is weak"
Yeah I own my own privilege but
That shit ain’t ownin’ me
I’m bringing back some fans that thought that
They were over me I’m older now
I’m holding myself accountable when I speak
On my Marcon shit, the only mode is beast
I was ten when my poppa showed
Me how to load a piece
He’s a military man but
His kids promoted peace
Coated rhymes like Da Vinci then
Went paint the Mona Lis’
Not the time Europeans thought the
West was really east
I existed as a strand of DNA
That carried from survivors to my
Parents to this day
I pass it to my children so
They fight the same wave
Now I’m getting stronger every time
You people press play, eh eh
So thanks for sticking around and listening
To what I have to say
Not what I wanted to say but needed to say
Town all day
Cause they love when we panic
And we love when they panic but
With the power they granted
It's automatic they spasm we'll be
The first to be branded
The most sacrificial of lambs if
Their hands aren't clapping
I make it happen
My habit to tell 'em I'm yelling
Freedom since my tribe decapitated Magellan
And sent him back to his
