Charles Hamilton - Music (Intro) lyrics
[Charles Hamilton - Music Intro lyrics]
America got a thing for this gangster shit
Well I ain't got it
So if different shit is wack to you
Don't cop it
I can only be honest in the shit that I write
Take a trip through my life
Visit the vivid imagery I'm giving you twice
One with the beat
The other when I'm spitting precise
You can't help but say this nigga is nice
But, if I don't make a tech spit
You won't respect it
Or cop the record, so fuck it
Let me get reckless
If I like that shine on your necklace
I'ma bust shots, go Shyne on your necklace
Drop-top sped off 'fore them
Hot shots let off now your ass can't wear
Shine cause you're neckless (haha)
Shit, let's get serious people
Real shit really isn't real to you people
This is my life, fuck what you write
This is my genre, fuck what you like, I got
No real family, no real friends
No real escape, no real end
So I'm gon' die with my music
By my side, and that's true shit
No good liquor, no good bud
No good pussy, no good drugs
So (music is the only love)
You ever had a fuckin' conversation
With a song you sampled?
Smoking as much weed as the bong could handle
I was high looking for some inspiration
A way that I could talk
Through the beat it'self
Then I put on some Graham Central Station
Track 9 on the album, Release Yourself
It said (Music is the only love)
Hell mothafuckin' yeah, it's the only love
I'm never lonely cause it just only trust
That if it needs me, I'll be there
And vice versa
Can't say the same about these phony fucks
When I was laying in the hospital bed
Hooked to an IV
No one even cared if I'm dead
Ain't want to find me
Music was right there, my life was touched
So I love music twice as much
Sometimes I feel I got
Sleepin' on the 2 train, freezing cold
18 years old, wearing pink and gold
No desire to live, nowhere I need to go
Dead tired, but wired from weed and coke
E and dope
Speed and anything that could help me
Leave this hopeless state of
Mind, God saw me, he would note
Forgive me God for saying, "Leave me alone"
He forgave me, and he gave me
The best thing thats ever happened to me
That's the treble and the bass clef
Turns out that I had it since a baby
Because of pain, I lost sight of it lately
This whole world makes me crazy
But not music, music just makes me
I don't make music, music makes me
So, you can hate me, music appreciates me
Can y'all hear me out
There? How y'all feelin?
What's real for you? What
Comes from your heart?
My music comes from my heart
So this is dedicated to anyone
Who puts music first
If you would rather sing than breathe
If all you had left in your body
Was the ability to play your instrument
Would you? If so, this is for you
If you would write a song with
Your own blood as ink this is for you
Music is not just an expression
It's an art form
It is a tourniquet to the bleeding heart
Music is the helicopter that saves your soul
From the hurricane of life
If music is all you got, this is for you
(Music is the only love)
Well I ain't got it
So if different shit is wack to you
Don't cop it
I can only be honest in the shit that I write
Take a trip through my life
Visit the vivid imagery I'm giving you twice
