Dilated Peoples - Alarm Clock Music lyrics
[Dilated Peoples - Alarm Clock Music lyrics]
Wake up! Ha ha dilated, Dilated
Y'all know what time it is, check the clock
Scratch repeats: "Cause this here's
Alarm clock music" you hear that shit ringin
You hear that shit buzzin
Scratched: "Pressin the button
They tryin to snooze"
Ring the alarm, shoot the flare, I'm here
Lay right there
You catch the Dana Dane "Nightmares"
(Nightmares) They know it's caffeine
They try but can't sleep
They're hatin but they rockin to
It while they count sheep
Cause this here's alarm clock music
Bang along beats like a bomb dropped to it
Pressin the button, they tryin to snooze
But their never been a man
Born with time to lose
So many freestyles I did when I was tourin
But since I wrote 'em down
They view 'em as important
I do what I want, the way I see fit
And they think I'm from the Bay
The way the flow B-Legit
Evidence got another sound mission
Listen, biz and pleasure
What's the difference
As long as the shit's hittin
And weed's gettin lit
Dilated we play some Pole Position
"Cause this here's alarm clock music"
"Bang along beats like a bomb dropped to it"
"Pressin the button, they tryin to snooze"
Yeah, 16 out of 16 bars I spit are thrillers
8 out of 16 bars you spit are fillers
And I got these beats game tight
Keep talkin shit, just spell my name right
Evidence, make music, focus on the listener
I know I'm ghetto
Use speakers as air conditioners
Ba boom Feel the air blast
It's a hot day in LA, right off Fairfax
Rakaa, Arabic name, not a nickname
That in the frame makes it hard to get planes
I stay fly through the
Clouds of slipped brain
Thinkin how I loved hip-hop, but shit changed
Some say we're too serious and conscious
Some say we're all battle raps and ganja
I say in your bad dreams we're monsters
Ratpackin stages like Frank Sinatra
Yeah, right now we in the zone we belong
(right here)
I let you know, right now you get warned
Right now before I sound the alarm
Let you know right now is
The calm before the storm
The world changed, lands got conquered
Continents wandered, the planet got smaller
New York at 8 o'clock then
Head to Cali by flight we got two shows
One on each coast the same night
Yeah, the same fight for crumbs
Is not new to me
The hood sick even with free shots immunity
We need black and brown unity
So we need to keep that jail
Shit out of the community
Plus George got a few more years
That's a couple wars there and
A couple wars here
Tricknowledgy propaganda and fear
Make it hard to believe your
Own eyes and ears
Y'all know what time it is, check the clock
Scratch repeats: "Cause this here's
Alarm clock music" you hear that shit ringin
You hear that shit buzzin
Scratched: "Pressin the button
They tryin to snooze"
Ring the alarm, shoot the flare, I'm here
Lay right there
