Living Legends, Abstract Rude - You Hear About It lyrics

Ugh, ugh, Living Legends ugh ugh, Ab Rude
Mass Men, another West Coast connect
From LA to the Bay bwoy
We ain't just bout it, y'all hear about it
Ugh ugh, when you hear about it
When you hear about it

And so it was said
People remember the Legends
And as it was read
Masses of men get the message
(And you hear about it)
When you livin in the cities of the Bay
(And you hear about it)
When you livin in the city of LA
(And you hear about it)
When you livin in the cities of the Bay
(And you hear about it)
When you livin in the city of LA

And so it was said, and created affirmative
Born rappin, German
They fertilised amino acids
Matter with mass, intricate plot
That or just ask infinite questions
In a scientific melting pot as it was read
When activated a new permanent
Geographic, made it possible to inhabit
Thieves of air, water of blood
Livin off the land
Grown from the mud, thoughts of a man
Are the building blocks of pyramid Egyptian
Stone wall inscriptions that told all
Of myths and mythology
Depictions and prophecy
Crucifixion and casualty
Communication by telepathy
Exceptionally gifted
Man lifted his mental existence
Went to the distance, geometric inches
Of math, he clinches his nostalgic pass
Underground fossils found in solid rock
Evolution of the mind
Look at precision of the tool of the trade
Decisions of a fool never made
The revolution of rhyme is like
When man started talkin
Somethin new to hear, ears hawkin by choice
The voice of hip hop, Mother Earth
Generation X
I know what I'm sayin so some next
But you gon' hear about it

And so it was said
People remember the Legends
And as it was read
Masses of men get the message
(And you hear about it)
When you livin in the city of the Bay
(And you hear about it)
When you livin in the city of LA

People remember the Legends
And as it was read
Masses of men get the message
(And you hear about it)
When you livin in the cities of the Bay
(And you hear about it)
When you livin in the city of LA

Now could I join
Both sides of a coin forming one whole?
Warning one's soul that this
Power is too swole
To be reckoned with, effective
Give the respect where it's due
I live like I know so expect
That I do the true
Test of my talents, living by my word
Speech balance while my actions have em
Latching on like velcro
Conceited? Hell no, I be
Seated in the front row
Of your lecture, I betcha
If you have somethin to learn me
Earn the attention, test my retention
And best my intention
Is to be great, recognise or be late
To the function
Gathered in conjunction with my folks
Up and down the coast, we toast, to tightness
Ignite this flame, recite this game back
Apply it if I came wack
Deny it or riot, quiet, on full volume
You're all tuned in, when the time's right
Grab the rippy now but you can't hear me
There's no limelight
I gather up my style, bounce flip it
Bubble off and rip it
Come equipped and ship it out
For you to hear about

Have you heard about the time the man slept
And crept up in cotton?
Visualisin such a mysterious movie of a life
I lived it twice before I entered
Remembered as a superhuman
Inventions I invented the thought of not
I'm bendin the rules I's meanted
Content with the life
Without politician's decisions
Makin my dimension an unstable form
A habituation, watchin us
You know just waitin
For a chance to get inside
The centre of divine
Principles, it's his to pull yourself, OUT
When you're sunk below your chin
The light - it never ends
No matter where it has begun
A millennium of sights to see before
The rays of the sun
I'm knowin how long it shall be glowin
Shall I continue showin y'all
The lighter side from the shadows
Where they seem to hide
Revitalisin with a rhyme that
Abides by the soul
That resides behind the focus of my eyes glow
A legendary myth that carries the
Gift of surprise though

And so it was said
People remember the Legends
And as it was read
Masses of men get the message
(And you hear about it)
When you livin in the city of the Bay
(And you hear about it)
When you livin in the city of LA

And so it was said
People remember the Legends
And as it was read
Masses of men get the message
(And you hear about it)
When you livin in the city of the Bay
(And you hear about it)
When you livin in the city of LA

It's the crystal method
See through evidences at hand
Standin across two properties
Eye of the perfect detective
Vision's reflective at attention
My invention something from a time you
Have endured, subdued, by ghost in tune
To most they only feel the full moon
They parked outside in the world we live in
Give in to the signal, they sinkin
Depths are driven to drive into a pole
Enter your soul
The soul has risen, partake on a mission
Moon Apocalypse
Now they see the picture,? pass the mixture
To fix the future, elixir with a suture
Mutations fade to inner?
The name is Melancholy
Walk with a frown when
The fall leaves falling
My answering machine when they're calling
Sounds across the washroom
Clean your face for the dirty
Looks you pass are scrappy
Bury the negativity
For it's affecting me gravity
Physically, Cali, heavenly, let me be

People remember the Legends
And as it was read
Masses of men get the message
(And you hear about it)
When you livin in the city of the Bay
(And you hear about it)
When you livin in the city of LA

And so it was said
People remember the Legends
And as it was read
Masses of men get the message
(And you hear about it)
When you livin in the city of the Bay
(And you hear about it)
When you livin in the city of LA

And you hear about it
In the cities of the Bay
(And you hear about it)
When you livin in the city of LA
Living Legends in the city of the Bay
Mass Men in the city of LA
People remember the Legends
People remember the Legends
Masses of men get the message
Masses of men get the message
You livin in the city of the Bay
When you livin in the city of LA
(Frisco) Living Legends in the
City of the Bay
