Pharoahe Monch - Black Sunday lyrics

[Hook - Organized Konfusion] Lord, help me out now We gotta get together We gotta organize No matter the weather It's a Black Sunday, hey [Verse 1 - Pharoahe Monch] I used to watch my grandmother catch the Holy Ghost in church For her soul she would search Five years later now I'm off to work In a department store, I'm foldin pants and shirts At the end of the week, lord Just enough loot to put some cheap sneakers on my feet That's when I made a promise to my momma I said "I betcha you see me at the Apollo one day and I'ma.. Be kickin that fat funk sh**; Black, mackadocious -- speakers in the back trunk sh**" Cause the boss is bossing me, that's costing me To miss cla**es and I feel he's forcing me To be a jacka** in the future; then, who's gonna shoot ya? At this point in my life is where I chose to write rhymes Instead of doing crimes Nineteen eighty-six to nineteen eighty-nine Organized Konfusion, did not, get, signed But we will soon one day, until then I return at twelve noon on the track, Black Sunday [Hook] [Verse 2 - Prince Po] Yeah, remember losing a loved one, lawwwd help us to make it over Delete the pork, the cigarettes and forty-nine cent soda We came a long way and I'm still runnin for my freedom Still have one hundred miles to go, escape from the Crack vials, so, you can feed that baby I used to ride the elevator with the crazy lady I year later I made demo ca**ettes with the Monch My stick was on the fader, rhymes ran out quick so I Encouraged Monch to start writing rhymes And Mrs. J cooked dinner then we came into same hard times Sour contract shouldn't have been on the plate Two apes escaped, back to L.A. with our demo tape The state of mind I was in since Paul C died is that I gotta get mines, representin 40 projects so I'm All-in, gotta make papes and all that Close my own record deal cause I can't fall for that Old snake sh**, hissin in the gra** For the cash, little cents, intuition listen If you're missin' my money, my fist you will be kissin' Dang, I don't even understand [Hook] [Outro] Check it out Like to say what's up to my whole herd Like to say rest in peace to my man J Dilla And rest in peace to my man Juice Three strikes
