Shad - Knock lyrics
[Shad - Knock lyrics]
When opportunity knocked
I had to stand up and come forward
And run towards it
From jump I didn't want more than
Just to make it through that
Front door without fronting
Just one tour, maybe one more then suddenly
The next opportunity knocked and
Said ‘open up’ one show
If you're dope enough they’ll know what’s up
And someone in the front row will
Notice ya and go home
And download some stuff and then
Show it to the next opportunity
Soon you might have a platform
Fans to rap for, stamps in your passport
Some bank - some backboard
Amped up - patch cord – I’m plugged in
Eyes focused on that door
The opportunity to give something
See it clear you need to be aware
To seize it, to see it's there
It might not reappear no need to fear
Just one thing you need to hear that knock
Now let it drop
I still hear that knock in my dreams
That's why there’s no stopping my dreams
Sundays I read the times on my iPhone
Then sit down and read the
Times with my eyes closed
I feel the winds chilling my bones
Change is in the air and
It's blowing like cyclones
See was raised in the era where Jay said
If you wanna feed the poor
You gotta make bread
We forgot how to break bread
And give thanks - Never give up giving
We'll stay fed
Now that that day's dead, it's all team biz
We need kings that serve and
Queens to lead this
Less tuition, more each one teaches
Chuuuch - less preachers, more Jesus
Trust, I hear justice at the door knocking
Saying the people need more options
And I don't mean more coke
Cans or more soap brands
‘Cause more often than not
The word "choice" just means more shopping
And less for the boys on the floor stocking
We got a lot less voice
Though there’s more talking
The door's open on that lie now
We see through it eyes closed – I read the
Times and I see music
It's time for regrouping
For less people trying to be somebody
More people trying to be human
Before I leave the room I’m
Trying to keep doing
Keep the door open so we can move in
Let's go
I still hear that knock in my dreams
That's why there’s no stopping my dreams
I had to stand up and come forward
And run towards it
From jump I didn't want more than
Just to make it through that
Front door without fronting
Just one tour, maybe one more then suddenly
The next opportunity knocked and
Said ‘open up’ one show
If you're dope enough they’ll know what’s up
And someone in the front row will
Notice ya and go home
And download some stuff and then
Show it to the next opportunity
Soon you might have a platform
Fans to rap for, stamps in your passport
Some bank - some backboard
Amped up - patch cord – I’m plugged in
Eyes focused on that door

See it clear you need to be aware
To seize it, to see it's there
It might not reappear no need to fear
Just one thing you need to hear that knock

I still hear that knock in my dreams
That's why there’s no stopping my dreams
