Makeshift Message
Eligh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Messages pattens of words
Exposed to you
Massaging brains putting across
A point of you
Let me explain the words of a master
Messenger misaha no more marsupials
They could be also mammals
Of the ceiling
Need new paints to show
The many experience
Of one individual person
To explain a message
Fore mannered
To fit a whole nation
should we disopation
Wating for reasonable explanations
The government will torment
their own fucking environment
Why lie and hide behind such
Trickie metaphors
I've decide to open mind
Is better for your peers
And their pores
Keep the clear
And informed when you perform
One receives an obligation
Sort of a weight on their shoulders
To speak messages
Truthful in a positive order
Not all eyes but some eyes
Just a handful eyes
And ears are on me
Internet access
Press the words on me
A little further than i would get
On my own two feet
So whose to speak the bullshit
Over these makeshift tracks
Not I called out danned off
With a staff full of lightning
Still exciting writing scriptures
For the grand children
I stand a building
A skyscraper
Take the lives
For the wide and made
Come later
Make my songs of lesser greater
Than contestants pagers
On MTV killing the mockingbird
Still talking words with no message
[chorus]
The movement of mouth
Motion makeshift
Find something to talk about
Mental weight lift
Message find constant
Message don't rhyme nonsense
The essence of learning
Turn your tape into a project 2x
[Verse 2]
Some folks just spit it out
Really don't give a fuck
Just because it takes me a week
For a tapes creation
Dosent mean it lacks inserity
Or innovation
I guess it do sound different
Than the last and that's the point
Time to blast off this earth
Give birth to abstractions of a man
Dwelling in this hellafied junkyard
Leaving you punks
Scared and banned
>From this underground tape lash
Take my hand
Talking about a wack fucker raps
Is far from this land
I spaned my laps
To a grandfather of time
As far as i can
But time waits for no man
Nothings gonna change
If me and you don't change
Somebodys gonna have two move up
Step up to the game
Te fiddler's being played
By the pigs
and the wolf is hungry
Bacons fried
Puling the wolves over your eye
So we should reach
Deep
Deep
Deep down
Extract all the weeds
don't be clowns
We can make fullusivly beats now
[Chorus 2x]
[Verse 3]
My final verse is this
To the crews out there
Who really speak
don't dwell all the time
All weak emcees
Find a time to speak
And realitivly leave
Information to the hip-hop nation
Be patient
Our time is now
Along with style
Were the gracious host
Of the new mellenium
These tasteless jokes
About big dicks and condiminiums
won't amount to shit eccept
Maybee comfortable living
But path living is fast
Taking in these fast times
Fast rhymes Making dollars
With no messages of sour great
Steped on by us
Inelectually Stimulated folk
With no jokes
[Chorus 4x]

Independently
So whose to speak the bullshit
Who has the audacity to speak nonsense
Over these makeshift tracks
On these improvised beats
Not I called out danned off
Not me, I refuse
With a staff full of lightning
With a powerful presence
Still exciting writing scriptures
Still inspiring with my words
For the grand children
For future generations
I stand a building
I am like a skyscraper
A skyscraper
Tall and imposing
Take the lives
Influence lives
For the wide and made
For the vast audience
Come later
Will appreciate it later

Elevate my lyrics from average to exceptional

Some people speak without thinking
Really don't give a fuck
Really do not care
Just because it takes me a week
Just because it takes time
For a tapes creation
To create a tape
Dosent mean it lacks inserity
Doesn't mean it lacks sincerity
Or innovation
Or originality
I guess it do sound different
It does sound different
Than the last and that's the point
That's the intention
Time to blast off this earth
Time to transcend
Give birth to abstractions of a man
Create abstract expressions
Dwelling in this hellafied junkyard
Existing in a chaotic world
Leaving you punks
Leaving you ungrateful individuals
Scared and banned
Afraid and excluded
From this underground tape lash
From this alternative music movement
Take my hand
Follow my lead
Talking about a wack fucker raps
Discussing weak rappers
Is far from this land
Is irrelevant
I spaned my laps
I explored my options
To a grandfather of time
To an ancient wisdom
As far as i can
To the best of my abilities
But time waits for no man
Time does not wait
Nothings gonna change
Nothing will change
If me and you don't change
Unless we change
Somebodys gonna have two move up
Someone must step up
Step up to the game
Embrace the challenge
Te fiddler's being played
The manipulators are manipulating
By the pigs
By the corrupt authorities
and the wolf is hungry
And the common people are struggling
Bacons fried
The situation is worsening
Puling the wolves over your eye
Deceiving the people
So we should reach
So we should strive
Deep
Profoundly
Deep
Deeply
Deep down
Within ourselves
Extract all the weeds
Eliminate all the negativity
don't be clowns
Don't be foolish
We can make fullusivly beats now
We can create meaningful music now
My final verse is this
My last verse is as follows
To the crews out there
To the artists out there
Who really speak
Who truly express themselves
don't dwell all the time
Don't remain stagnant
All weak emcees
All mediocre rappers
Find a time to speak
Find an opportunity to speak
And realitivly leave
And leave a lasting impact
Information to the hip-hop nation
Knowledge to the hip-hop community
Be patient
Remain patient
Our time is now
Now is our moment
Along with style
Together with our unique expression
Were the gracious host
We are the welcoming hosts
Of the new mellenium
Of the new era
These tasteless jokes
These tasteless comedic expressions
About big dicks and condiminiums
About superficial and materialistic topics
won't amount to shit eccept
Won't be of any value except
Maybee comfortable living
Perhaps temporary comfort
But path living is fast
But a meaningful life is fulfilling
Taking in these fast times
Navigating through this fast-paced world
Fast rhymes Making dollars
Rapidly rhyming for monetary gain
With no messages of sour great
Without meaningful content
Steped on by us
Overlooked by us
Inelectually Stimulated folk
Intellectually stimulated individuals
With no jokes
Without mindless humor
