De La Soul - Potholes in my lawn
Tekst :
Yo, something s wrong here. No, not again!)
(Get the daisies for the...)
Potholes in my lawn
DOVE:
Everybody s sayin
What to do when suckin lunatics start diggin and chewin
They don t know that the Soul don t go for that
Potholes in my lawn
And that goes for my rhyme sheet
Which I concentrated so hard on, see
I don t ask for maximum security
But my dwellin is swellin
It nipped my bud when I happened to fall
Into a spot
Where no ink or an ink-blot
Was on a scroll
I just wrote me a new mot
But now it s gone
There s no
Suckers knew that I hate
To recognise that every time I m writin
It s gone
(Yodel-a-hee, Yodel-oh-hee, Yodel-a)
(Yodel-a-hee, Yodel-oh-hee, Yodel-ee-hee-hee-hee)
Potholes in my lawn
POS:
I ve found that it s not wise
To leave my garden untended
Cause eyes have now pardoned all laws of privacy
Even paws are after my writer
See, I ve found that everyone s sayin
What to do when suckers are preyin
On my well-guarded spreadsheets
Oh why, hell does it send up fleets
Of evil-doers through the big hole
To get to evil-doers who dig holes
Which leaves my lawn with lawn-chew
I think I d better plant traces to give clues
Or better yet call 911
And when they get here I inform them I m the Plug One
Open a chair and let them realize the reason
For concern of the Soul,
Cause we ve come down with a case of potholes
(Yodel-a-hee, Yodel-oh-hee, Yodel-a)
(Yodel-a-hee, Yodel-oh-hee, Yodel-ee-hee-hee-hee)
Potholes in my lawn
(Who stole, who stole, who stole the cookie
from the cookie jar?)
DOVE:
Now you got the message
What to do when you die
The death that I predict in Plug Tunin
It s a shame that you deny to claim
That you stole my words of fame
That I wrote in my rhyme sheet
Which I concentrated so hard on, see
I don t ask for a barbed wire fence, B
But my dwellin is swellin
It nipped my bud when I happened to fall
Into a spot
Where no ink or an ink-blot
Was on a scroll
I just wrote me a new mot
But now it s gone there s no
Suckers knew that I hate
To recoginse that every time I m writin
It s gone
Potholes in my lawn
(Yodel-a-hee, Yodel-oh-hee, Yodel-a)
(Yodel-a-hee, Yodel-oh-hee, Yodel-ee-hee-hee-hee)
Inne utwory
Set the mood Ghetto thang All Baby baby ooh baby Rock co. Kane Flow Long island degrees Big brother beat Eye patch Buddy The grind date Tread water D.A.I.S.Y. age Can u keep a secret Kicked out the house Area Losowe utwory
Maggots feast, eternal whisper
eating through your soul
in your head their bodies glisten
the stench of death is foul
riot inside you
swarming around and through
crucified
a trail of insects down your spine
vermin inside you
control you
Lonely children they cry, out of the dark
but why don’t we hear
The world we leave ‘em behind is droning in blood
that’s spilled in a war
And we get used of terror in here
we only close our eyes
All...
The darkness of these starlit skies sets down upon my tired eyes
And I’m waiting for the last uncertainty
I’ve walked across these streets before and it always seemed outside your door
The heaviness subsides so I can breath
And I’m waiting to see you. Waiting to be you. Waiting to see.
CHORUS
If I can...
Vengeance will be mine
Riders from hell
Black on black
The magic will never cease
The metal troops will increase
Believers of the holy flame
Fools are no part of the game
Nothing is gonna stand in our way
We fight forevermore
Until the last man will fall
Time to start the war
Raise the metal fist in the air
Brothers everywhere
Raise...
Standing on the edge, and I m looking down
Into the darkness, everywhere and all around
I see people fall and lose their grounds
Another war and another thousand deaths
Everyday the streets are painted red
So many homeless without a bed
I can t believe it s true
The end for me and you
O, Lord please...
