Omar Offendum - Straight Street lyrics

(feat. Meryem Saci) Chorus: It's just what we call fate Llivin on a Street Called Straight It's just what we call fate Llivin on a Street Called Straight Verse 1: I took a stroll down the straight called str8 Met a medicine man about 1/3 of the way Predecessor to the pusherman With somethin to say About an apple a day Keepin the sickness away I valued his advice at face At first Till he enlightened me to how precise nature worked Givin us citrus fruits in winter time for vitamin c Just met each other but im already invited for tea (sub7an allah) As fate would have it He & i turned out to be related A small world's even smaller when you're arab - ain't it? Made it a point to soak in all his information Bout regenerative meditations & preventitive medication Like a modern Ibn Sina With a pretty calm demeanor & a remedy for everything That plagued the arab nations Yet when asked of how to cope with our impossible fate He just said follow the middle path To a Street Called Straight Chorus: It's just what we call fate Llivin on a Street Called Straight It's just what we call fate Llivin on a Street Called Straight It's just what we call fate Llivin on a Street Called Straight That's where we cease all hate & pray to 3ish peace all day Verse 2: I took a stroll down the street called str8 Met a spiritual teacher about 2/3 of the way Predecessor to the preacherman With somethin to say About a prayer a day Keepin the satan's at bey He spoke of angels on our shoulders And the angles of our solar Systematic self-destruction Metaphysical corruption With a danger to our polar Ice caps Till it's out of our control & in the hands of our beholder We philosophized for over 20 minutes like that Taught me lessons Any questions he would Give em right back Said the answers were within us & i didn't like that But i realized later why he did it like that I had so much more to learn Clock was ticking - couldn't stall Committed his words to my memory His wisdom was enthrallin Yet when askin him what was the most important to recall He just said follow the middle path Straight Street & that is all Chorus: It's just what we call fate Llivin on a Street Called Straight It's just what we call fate Llivin on a Street Called Straight It's just what we call fate Llivin on a Street Called Straight That's where we cease all hate & pray to 3ish peace all day Verse 3: I took a stroll down the street called str8 Met a carpenter hard at work at the end of the way Predecessor to the architect with somethin to say About not doin tomorrow What should be finished today He manipulated wood & metal till it followed function Building all through Via Recta & Cardo Maximus junction Somethin told me he was wise beyond his years I had a feelin From the way that he'd exposed the beams & ornamented ceilings With an ambidextrous half Nonchalantly jest & laugh Sayin that my western education Made it hard to grasp His connection to the past Deep-rooted in his craft But was more than willing to share with me The tools he knew i lacked And for that i would be grateful Learnin how to build the monumental for the playful & the humble for the faithful Yet when asked of how we'd stack against our impossible odds He just said follow the middle path Straight Street to the Gods Chorus: It's just what we call fate Llivin on a Street Called Straight It's just what we call fate Llivin on a Street Called Straight It's just what we call fate Llivin on a Street Called Straight That's where we cease all hate & pray to 3ish peace all day
