Long Road to Glory
Jurassic 5 Lyrics

He who is without sin
The first person to cast judgment should be someone who has never sinned themselves.

Cast the first stone
The first person to judge should be the first to take action against what they see as wrong.

Blast the verse
To perform powerful, impactful rap verses.

No matter the class, I'm vers'tile
I can adapt and perform for any audience, regardless of their socioeconomic status or background.

Kickin' it for you hipocritic berzerk ohms
I'm performing for those who are critical and judgmental, but also enthusiastic and passionate about hip-hop music.

I'm hopin' at worst, hopin' the words that touch home and clutch domes
I am optimistic about the impact my lyrics can have, hoping they resonate with and deeply affect people.

Ya' think electrical sockets and wet feet, how you infinitely get sleep
Reflecting on life's paradoxes and mysteries, including the fact that electrocution and the discomfort of wet feet make sleeping impossible.

The minute we get deep, ladies and 'gents peep, one hundred percent heat, up undersea mistreats
As we delve deeper into our performances, the audience is captivated by the intensity and sincerity of our lyrics.

Now I'll leave you mince meat
I am confident in my ability to lyrically defeat opponents and leave them defeated, like minced meat.

Yes I'm from UNITY, my last name sits in the middle of opportunity (Huh)
As a member of the group UNITY, I am proud to embrace diversity and bring opportunities for success to those around me.

With two-laid plans and new-made fans, my crew raid lands and punch like the Kool-Aid Man
We have well-thought-out strategies and continue to gain fans and new territories with our powerful performances.

It was a long road to glory, battle for territory, just to be called the masters of the ceremony, marathon, decathalon, word-play, mega-bomb, metabolism with the rhythm, keep it goin' on
We have worked hard to earn our reputation as skilled masters of ceremony, displaying endurance and incredible lyrical abilities for the audience's enjoyment.

The epitomy, five-hundred thousand so convincingly, street ministry, J-5th-a-tune infantry, finna be, about to be, the best kept commodity, twelve incher LP, we're representin' properly
We represent the epitome of music, with large and devoted fanbases, and bring important messages to the streets and those who listen to our music.

Now possibly the knock could be, that old school philosophy, that if it doesn't rock a beat, it's not considered property
There may be criticism of our music philosophy, as some believe that songs without a catchy beat are not valuable or worth listening to.

Remember me, remember us, Ice Cold, Cold Crush, 1920 Gold Rush, rollin' up, hold up!
We want to be remembered for our talents and achievements, following in the footsteps of previous pioneering hip-hop groups and their success.

Now aint no need for you to be surprised when we impliment and improvise with each and every verse that I get busy with, lacing it with murder talk, turn a 'sault, tom-a-hawk, razor sharp, tribal walk, fresh gear
We aim to both surprise and impress our audience with each and every verse, flexing our lyrical and physical prowess over fresh beats and distinctive fashion.

We're makin' our beds and we're doin' lots of things that we never did, we went to Paris in the spring-time, Bahamas in the fall, we thank Alla, we're doin' it all
We're fulfilling our dreams and traveling the world, excitedly embracing new opportunities and grateful for our success.

Pick a paragraph and phrase it, mentally you save it, kick it to the world and suddenly they crave it, thats the way it is in this verbal warfare, workin' hard for the love but there aint no wars here
We craft our lyrics carefully, pouring our hearts and emotions into each passage, sharing them with the world and receiving gratification from the widespread love and admiration for our work.

Years been puttin', on a play with your foot in, cause you'll be comin' back like the brother Dwight Gooden, seven's back again, slappin' men and askin' them, if they really wanna fuck wit' the style we tappin' in
We've been working hard for years to perfect our craft and take our lyrical abilities to the next level, warning competitors that they should think twice before trying to challenge us.

Hey yo, I just couldn't wait to grab a piece of my own cake, so I can elevate and hold my own weight, my mind state be the ghetto, street corner heavy metal, black like the pot and tea kettle, my street credibility minus negativity multiplied energy
I'm excited and determined to claim my spot in the world of hip-hop, fueled by the energy and experiences of both the ghetto and street life, using that to augment my street credibility and build a positive reputation for myself.

What attends a few, ability sililoque, of a real MC, tastin' the grammar, J5 slamma jamma
The key ingredients for creating a real MC (emcee) include the ability to succinctly express oneself, speak with confidence, and utilize excellent grammar skills, all of which contribute to the overall dynamic impact and rhythm of the music.
