Drawn
De La Soul Feat. Jill Scott Lyrics
Shadow you're drawn, why don't you go?
In the corner babe, watching the snow
Moving afar, rolling away
You make the world believe, now won't you stay?
Won't you stay babe? Won't you stay babe?
Oh, I never know what come around, I never looked ahead
I'm breaking loose and it's pulling us down, the words I wished I'd said
Shadow you're drawn and you got your ways
Shadow you've painted red
Red
Moving afar, rolling away
You make the world believe, now won't you stay?
Won't you stay babe? Won't you stay babe?
It's drawn
One, two
Yo, I'm with the paper plate, hold
Too many dreams, a paperweight took a toll
Food on the floor, not to be wasted
Or what's being pasted and know that it's not a copy
Eye on a prize instead of gas prices
Lyrically wonder why I travel past the nicest
Born in a generation that don't generate patience
I travel too fast for you to clock me (Time)
Not always a good thing
You can lose the love of your life to a lifetime of love on tour
I didn't mean to be a whore but my hormones
Had me like a fiend screamin' "What you got for me?"
Two words (I'm mortal)
But the fans slid 'em both together and removed the apostrophe
Hip hop's lords maybe but my ways needs laundering
Time's a-ticking, stop squandering!
In the corner babe, watching the snow
Moving afar, rolling away
You make the world believe, now won't you stay?
Won't you stay babe? Won't you stay babe?
Oh, I never know what come around, I never looked ahead
I'm breaking loose and it's pulling us down, the words I wished I'd said
Shadow you're drawn and you got your ways
Shadow you've painted red
Moving afar, rolling away
You make the world believe, now won't you stay?
Won't you stay babe? Won't you stay babe?
It's drawn
One, two
Yo, I'm with the paper plate, hold
Too many dreams, a paperweight took a toll
Food on the floor, not to be wasted
Or what's being pasted and know that it's not a copy
Eye on a prize instead of gas prices
Lyrically wonder why I travel past the nicest
Born in a generation that don't generate patience
I travel too fast for you to clock me (Time)
Not always a good thing
You can lose the love of your life to a lifetime of love on tour
I didn't mean to be a whore but my hormones
Had me like a fiend screamin' "What you got for me?"
Two words (I'm mortal)
But the fans slid 'em both together and removed the apostrophe
Hip hop's lords maybe but my ways needs laundering
Time's a-ticking, stop squandering!

With real hip hop like this, I will make sure I officially buy it - not stream it or rip it. Who is with me? Let's show this generation that we support real hip hop by the use of our money! Bring Hip Hop back.
@howardcho8426
I've bought over 5 copies, already.
@TheVioLox
Who are you to decide which album is real hip hop and which one isn't. You should just buy from the artist you like most out of principle and not out of some misguided sense of shaping the generation.
@coolreem
I can decide because I buy my own stuff. And also, I can say and judge Hip Hop because I am a Hip Hop enthusiast.
@TheVioLox
don't you think it"s a bit arrogant to decide for other people what's real hip hop and what's not. I mean so the millions that listen to for example kanye west are just people without music taste ?
@coolreem
I never called out any other rappers by name as not 'real Hip Hop'. Growing up in Brooklyn during the golden phase of Hip Hop has shaped my viewpoint. Much of the stuff on the radio is garbage filled with empty phrases and curses with no content. Not all of it, much of it. In order to get good Hip Hop back on the radio, it must be done through economic persuasion. Now, I am not deciding for anyone what is real hip hop, but that is my opinion. Real Hip Hop is defined differently by different generations, so whatever is real hip hop to you, then I have no problem with your opinion.

I love this joint. It feel like it belongs in an Old School Spike Lee Move....
@Sylviala2009
Yes, is it from She's Gotta Have It', it sounds like it is from that film, does anybody know what the sample is?
@sonja4164
Yup!
@oyoyoyo7624
It also belongs in a NEW spike lee joint! It wouldn’t be outta place in the Netflix update of SHES GOTTA HAVE IT.
