Common - Hurricane (cartier burgundy Remix) lyrics

[Black Thought] Yo, talk about paying the ultimate price Hurricane been incarcerated all of his life Started out at like twelve Trapped in a belly of hell Grew into a man inside of a cell Yo, anger just swell up At a early age that develop Hot head and now it ain't sh** y'all could tell him They said he's on a road to become a felon But instead he swung blows that'll spilt your melon He did his thing and was the king of the ring, undisputed Started making noise but they tried to mute it They put him through it For him to make the system look stupid, [yo] They rather look you in the face and shoot it And leave your spot looted [or what] Or leave your whole life blank futured and caught When you scream at it and do it With sweat leaking from the outline of your soluid Don't understand the point that you at Or how the hell you came to it? Flashback to images of that night, out in Patterson They pulled him over heading home from a gathering And when they told him the charge it kind of baffled him Murder in the first for the champ, we on that again? Chorus Hurricane Accuse a Hurricane Ain't change a damned shame It's life for Hurricane, Hurricane [Black Thought] *overtop of sung chorus* Forever, imagine your locked down forever Could y'all stand the weather? Could you hold it together? You tell me that you know the pain Yo, imagine if your life was like a hurricane, a hurricane Forever, imagine your locked down forever Could ya'll stand the weather? You built for that weather? Yo, know what'm saying? Know what'm saying? [Common] You gotta fight for what you believe in Nobody knows the troubles seen This flick left me wondering 'What can become of kings and young kids?' Summer dream deferred, incident occured, freedom blurred A freedom that would only be retrieved again in words, later on The cops, y'all know what they be on A n***a's life is like a field that they play upon, away and gone from Natural lifer, a soul he had to fight Learn it himself, sleep days, stay up half the night Amongst dead man walking, he got afterlife exercising Developing his knack to write Never leaving his cell, in this world he trapped himself What he loved on the outside world, detached himself You know the cards Blacks get dealt by the system He drew a picture of freedom with many dimensions This picture proved to be bigger than Black and White A young soul named Lesra brought him back to life It's amazing to a man what a book could do And how certain books seem to look for you This is the story of a champion's fall and rise The story left me wiping my eyes Peace Ru Chorus Hurricane Accuse a Hurricane Ain't change a damned shame It's life for Hurricane, Hurricane [Black Thought] *overtop of sung chorus* Yo, yo, forever, imagine your locked down forever Could y'all stand the weather? Could you hold it together? You tell me that you know the pain Yo, imagine if your life was like a hurricane, a hurricane Forever and ever yo, locked down forever Could you stand the weather? Yo, yo I can't even explain the pain Just imagine if your life was like a hurricane [Mos Def] Yes, I am the inescapable, the irresistable The unnegotiable, the unchallenged [who dat?] I am time I scroll in measurements, control the elements I hold the evidence, I tell the story [say what?] I am time I know no prejudice, I bare no sentiments For wealth or settlement, I move forward [who you?] I am time You can't recover me, conceal or smuggle me Retreat or run from me, crawl up or under me You can't do much for me besides serve Me well and have good dividends returned to you Or attempt to k** me off and have me murder you Many have wasted me but now they are facing me Treated me unfaithfully and now endure me painfully Plaintively, I wait to see what history will shape to be Who's hearts will never die inside the sake of me Angel's scribe the page for me Keep a full account of all the names for me And make a special mark for Hurricane who (?) patiently [Eminem] There they go, packin' stadiums as Shady spits his flow Nuts they go, Macadamian they go so ballistic, whoa He can make them look like bozos He's wondering if he should spit this slow, f** no Go for broke, his cup just runneth over, oh no He ain't had him a buzz like this Since the last time that he overdosed They been waiting patiently for Pinocchio to poke his nose Back into the game and they know Rap will never be same as before Bashing in the brains of these hoes And establishing the name as he goes The pa**ion in the flame is ignited You can't put it out once we light it This sh** is exactly what the f** That I'm talking about when we riot You dealing with a few true villains Who stand inside of a booth, truth spilling And spit true feelings until our tooth fillings Come flying up outta of our mouths, now rewind it Pay back mothaf**a for the way that you got at me How's it taste? When I slap the taste outta your mouth With the ba** so loud that it shakes the place I'm Hannibal Lecter, so just in case you're thinking of saving face You ain't gonna have no face to save By the time I'm through with this place, so Drake Chorus Hurricane Accuse a Hurricane Ain't change a damned shame It's life for Hurricane, Hurricane [Black Thought] *overtop of sung chorus* Yo, yo, a Hurricane forever Imagine your locked down forever Could you stand the weather? Could you hold it together? I can't even explain the pain Imagine if your life was like a hurricane, a hurricane Forever, imagine your locked down forever and ever, ever Could you hold it together? Yo, can't explain the pain with words, know'm saying? Just imagine if your life was like a hurricane Same story, same target, different time Cyclical reaction from the prisoners of the blind Trying to fight time, it's a battle of the mind Waiting for redemption, surviving in a bind Same story, same target, different time Cyclical reaction from the prisoners of the blind Trying to fight time, it's a battle of the mind Waiting for redemption, surviving in a bind Chorus Hurricane Accuse a Hurricane Ain't change a damned shame It's life for Hurricane, Hurricane [Black Thought] *overtop of sung chorus* Your locked down forever Could you stand the weather? Could you hold it together? I can't even explain the pain, know'm saying? Your life was like a hurricane, a hurricane Forever, imagine behind bars forever Could you stand the weather? You built for that? Is you cut for that? Don't be telling me that you know the pain Your life was like a hurricane, yo Same story, same target, different time Cyclical reaction from the prisoners of the blind Trying to fight time, it's a battle of the mind Waiting for redemption, surviving in a bind Same story, same target, different time Cyclical reaction from the prisoners of the blind Trying to fight time, it's a battle of the mind Waiting for redemption, surviving in a bind
