[00:00:00] Some Seek Stardom - Fugees

[00:00:10] AhhhhhH

[00:00:11] Check the crippled man sittin in the church

[00:00:13] My conscience hurts flesh like me hits the dirt

[00:00:16] She's paralyzed from her feet to her thighs

[00:00:18] And the man who pulled the trigger didn't even lose his necktie

[00:00:21] Hi/I check Jimmy cuttin hair at the barbershop

[00:00:24] He plays the bass guitar like David plays the harp

[00:00:26] His knowledge name is Greek cause whenever he speaks

[00:00:28] He's got the wisdom of King Solomon bags in his eyes from no sleep

[00:00:32] Sometimes he thought of the fame in Madison Square Garden

[00:00:35] So some seek stardom but they forget Harlem

[00:00:37] But seeking first of all the kingdom of God is what my pops told me

[00:00:40] So if I fall could the choir catch me

[00:00:43] I flew away on a mountain got tempted by Satan

[00:00:46] Got bitten by a cobra but the Lord took my venom

[00:00:48] So who's side am I on I'm on the righteous

[00:00:50] Always check the lyrics no time to contradict

[00:00:53] Some seek stardom then they forget Harlem

[00:01:01] Keep their pockets full but their souls run empty

[00:01:03] Well aiyyo family I beseech you in the hopes that I may reach you

[00:01:06] My mother taught me one day that this mid-day would come someday

[00:01:09] Born to talk that jive with peaky hair grown wild

[00:01:12] And teachers disliked me cause I knew where my culture be

[00:01:14] So now yeah mom I read history I can't neglect my passion see

[00:01:17] Rock it's kind of new to me cause my true love was poetry

[00:01:20] White was good and bad was black but black was just a massa lackey

[00:01:23] Built for that B Nimble Jack and I'd like to save you from the wicked

[00:01:25] D-Dog clear I wouldn't be wet

[00:01:27] The black to mourn tomorrow's death

[00:01:28] The evil things glad that I while angels wrote this violence why
