Cunninlynguists, The Grouch & Eligh - 100 Years lyrics

[Hook] A hundred years in the sunshine Hasn't taught me all there is to know [Verse 1: Eligh] 100 years and running And nothing seems to stop the tears from coming Trapped inside a cage built of bone, held together By rage, and something love like Near and dear to spirit, I hear it, it whispers in the Conscience, not a complimentary voice It breaks me down and tells me lies so vicious I'm not like I used to be In hind sight, the misery manipulated my life Twilight twinkling, representing my stripes, along the journey Earned in a fight like, battle to regain what was lost In the Mai-Tai co*ktail of my 20's In bright bright lights shown across the screen freely Just so some souls could avoid the same deities Devils and demons, Angels and healings, rebels and Reasons, exposing the changing of seasons A mangy hound, to the best in show The skull can be a prison, if just one kid listens Then 100 years is worth every sentence, I'm on life row [Verse 2: Natti] Sentenced to a century Starting through the bars glaring hard at the sentry Guarding every scar with a heart feeling empty Poppi was a star burning gars full of sensi Mentally Reminiscing how he used to stash that In a white hatchback Now that money's rare like a pro white halfback Didn't k** a soul but the system sent him Amtrak Chance of appeal looking lean like lamb fat Prison yard sun rays Sunday to Sunday What he miss is moonlight Product of a goons life Howling at the nothing in the sky away from eye sight Raisin in the sun nothing left ahead but hindsight [Hook x2] [Verse 3: The Grouch] 39 in this height climb Light for a lifetime Some wrinkles in that Quiet the mind Silence the tongue, that's young 61 more trips around the sun 'fore we done Make it last forever they sang Then the rain came down turned pleasure to pain And some couldn't stay sane They'd run from pillar to post Even chose to k** they own brains (Pour up, Drank) Or make others feel the strain Brothers from the same mother ranged Bipolar to hi roller Pharmaceuticals for my beautifuls in a stroller That ain't worth the money Get the power from the solar Hit em with the honey And the natural soul Show em love, blow em kisses, grow em grub Need no lifejacket, I can float the tub [Verse 4: Kno] In August 63 Earl stood with King, Junior Pain in his past he dreamed for the future In 92 he stood with King, Rodney Trying to leave a better world for his progeny Living room TV in 63 Saw JFK slumped over in his seat Hospital bed TV in 08 Watched 44 carry 28 states The same states that viewed Earl as a heathen He turned around and shot guns for they freedom World War II lucky to come back In 91 he lost a son in Iraq Enough to make the old man's blood boil Earl bled for freedom, his son bled for oil In his belongings ca**ettes by P.E Reminded Earl of the protest songs by Stevie When Earl was young they lynched kids in the streets But now the Klan wears Blue not sheets cus...
