Chuck D - Storm Comin' (Remix) lyrics

[Hook] It's a storm comin', it's a, it's a storm comin' It's a storm comin' It's a, it's a storm comin' What you gon' do, who can you trust? When you feel the heat comin', are you ready to bust? If we have to, if we have to, feel that heat comin' If we have to, if we have to, feel that heat comin' If we have to [Verse 1 – Jon Connor] Look, momma thanks for the goddess I'm normally private, I'm breakin' my silence I'm strivin' to break into the game and maintain and survive it Couldn't nine to five it, early on I seen this was my calling Should I put my all in spitting bars in a one bedroom apartment Some days I didn't eat, gave new meaning to the term starving artist Did it for the culture and stayed away from these vultures f** em, never change my content for profit, stop it Cause Logic would tell me as long as I'm healthy, my pa**ion will never fail me What the f** can you tell me? I'm never gon' sell my soul cuz my truth is what made me wealthy I always picked it myself, in my mind I've been taking selfies Since I was twelve watching Belly, I barely went outside to play I was making tapes, getting ready I was watching Rhyme & Reason,I believed hip-hop could keep our people eating Feed em, even keep us breathing through the legacies we leave em I ain't preachin' but I'm hopin' that I reach em, teach em You can change a life just with a chorus or a feature Went from whack rapper to backpacker to Aftermath's next chapter Why y'all playin' the game backwards? Trendy n***as is penny pinchers, y'all guinea pigs, gimme n***as Raw sh** still in me, word to my indie n***as Yeah, I hope they feel me, n***a You hearin' to k** my spirit, they have to k** me, n***a And when they hear my voice, I hope it uplift my n***as And tell my momma, Sarah Connor, let's go get these n***as [Hook] [Verse 2 – Rah Digga] Always knew it would come a time I be callin' my sons in rhyme It's the rage against the machine, I tell em to jump in line Gettin' on my Sarah Con, swinging like Barry Bonds Tryna wipe aside existence, I'm seeing various signs Went from fightin' the power, ain't no bitin' allowed To popularity pose, how many likes in an hour? These uneducated critics, they be writin' about us But they never determine sh**, they just hatin' my prowess Call us bitter and haters? History eradicated When we voicing our opinion on some sh** that we created I heard I was racist, I just tighten my laces This supposed to be rappin', thought righting wrongs is the basics So many documented cases of fraud cross the border I don't yes man the people, I enforce the law All the streets [?] f** outta here! this total recall A storm comin' for your b**h a**, here go the sequel I ain't tryna be no star, just tryna teach y'all Power to the artists united, divided we fall Seeking, ye shall find, instead of feedin' the mind OG's goin' crazy tryna keep up with the times I'm divine, you need design Three from the line and I ain't even in my prime Never compromise the ethics, I leave it all behind When I feel the heat coming I'm squeezing both the 9s Like blaow! [Hook] (Outro) People ask me a question all the time What do you think of hip-hop then and now? Which is like really crazy, state of the, state of hip-hop It's not, it can't be answered in a discussion or an interview It's a course study, there's a lesson that probably has to take place Months at a time, those who know, know who I tell people like this You know my name, you know my face And everything else that goes with it
