《De La Souls》歌词

[00:00:01] De La Souls - P.O.S

[00:00:10] I am P.O.S

[00:00:11] I be the new generation of slaves

[00:00:13] Here to make papes off this land corporations rape

[00:00:16] From that life I'm tryin' to separate

[00:00:18] But I guess I'm livin' dreams

[00:00:19] Cause my rent's always a month late

[00:00:21] Product of an East German Black

[00:00:23] Who kissed the neck, of a pretty woman named Grace

[00:00:26] But he left my life just a little too soon

[00:00:28] Didn't see me catch the Doomtree fame

[00:00:30] As we go a little something like this

[00:00:32] Look mom, no protection,

[00:00:33] Now I got a baby boy by the name of Jake

[00:00:36] And I been trying to play the cowboy

[00:00:37] To rustle in the dough

[00:00:39] When I think I'm getting' better every passin' day

[00:00:41] I'm not an early bird, plus the feathers' all black

[00:00:44] So by the time I catch an apple, usually it's rind

[00:00:46] But it's a must to decipher one's girl

[00:00:48] From the round, sweet apples

[00:00:49] That are rotten on the inside

[00:00:51] I cherish my free time

[00:00:53] But I maximize, so my soul needs to unwind

[00:00:57] I wanna see the stars be the moon to my sun

[00:00:59] (But I'm always on the run, run, run)

[00:01:02] I'm fake to all these hard-case kids

[00:01:03] I raise a black fist

[00:01:04] But won't say *nigga* in the things I write

[00:01:06] And I don't say *faggot* cause I don't think it's right

[00:01:09] I know my boy will struggle with that

[00:01:10] For over half his life

[00:01:12] I guess we got our own lives to live

[00:01:13] But I'm stretched too thin,

[00:01:15] Tryin' to build a kingdom to rule

[00:01:16] And I think to the past sometimes

[00:01:18] And dag man, it's bad,

[00:01:20] See I kinda acted like a fool

[00:01:22] But I've apologized to the lives

[00:01:23] That I've touched wrong

[00:01:24] Pride to the back, move ahead strong

[00:01:27] But I can safely say:

[00:01:28] I've never played a woman

[00:01:29] Without karma catchin' up later on

[00:01:32] I try to walk the right side of the tracks

[00:01:34] But I've hopped a couple trains,

[00:01:35] Mom would cry if she knew the haps

[00:01:36] But I can stand who I am and face the day straight

[00:01:39] Knowin' not a thing can change when our beat singin'

[00:01:41] No one will ever be, like me

[00:01:47] No one will ever be, like me

[00:01:51] I know I'm not a bad guy,

[00:01:53] But when I try to do what's right

[00:01:54] Everyone who comes to me don't understand

[00:01:56] Or see my plight

[00:01:57] Everything I've ever done,

[00:01:57] And all the plans I've had inside

[00:01:59] I was Mr. Gone Wrong in way,

[00:02:00] So I gave up and said

[00:02:02] (Alright)

[00:02:03] So now I do what I can, I'm

[00:02:04] (Alright)

[00:02:05] Stand up like Mama raised me

[00:02:06] (Alright)

[00:02:07] I was dealt from the bottom

[00:02:09] And pulled a flush

[00:02:09] I've been living with my chips all in

[00:02:11] And I'm still in, see

[00:02:12] No one will ever be, like me

[00:02:17] No one will ever be, like me

[00:02:32] I am P.O.S

[00:02:33] I be the new generation of slaves

[00:02:35] Here to make papes off this land corporations rape

[00:02:38] From that life I'm tryin' to separate

[00:02:39] But I guess I'm livin' dreams

[00:02:41] Cause my rent's always a month late

[00:02:42] And lookin' back it seems

[00:02:44] I've always been a step behind

[00:02:45] Little off-track and feelin' no one shared the frame of mind

[00:02:47] Listenin' to records in my room to escape

[00:02:50] Found some things I could relate with,

[00:02:51] I wore out the tape

[00:02:52] We said

[00:02:53] When I lose, every time I win, cause

[00:02:55] No one will ever be

[00:02:58] Messin' up stuff or doin' things wrong

[00:03:01] Quite like me

[00:03:03] No one will ever be, like me

[00:03:08] No one will ever be, like me

[00:03:13] No one will ever be, like me

[00:03:18] No one will ever be, like me
