Gravediggaz Hidden Emotions
Hidden emotions, you and I control it
Don't get pissed 'cause this is how we show it
Hidden emotions, you and I control it
Don't get pissed 'cause this is how we show it
Like the older you get the more you regret
YaknowI'msayin', wanna know what we like?
Do the knowledge, do the knowledge of this
Check it, yo
Ever watch a hard rock when he got a seed?
Turn a whole hundred and eighty degrees
The nigga that you never saw smile before
It's like the warrior at peace with the child at your door
It's mad wild, how he holds the mold
It's so fragile knowin' that this little soul is agile
Meanwhile deep in his thoughts
Is how do I protect it from the streets and the courts
There's stress and strain tryin' to maintain
When you're poor workin' odd jobs for small change
You either rap, rob, girls slob knobs
And niggas sell crack, weed or coke for the mob
The Al Corleone idol was his mentor, gangster
That came up short, you're needin' dentures
Built his rep for killin' Aztecs in distortion
Front page news for the projects
Carried the weight for his mom's operation
25 years workin' for the train station
'Cause he was black the community reacts
Summer tricks, picnic for kids, he gave it back
He ain't accept it, grinned and helped the church, clear his debit
Wind up helpin' young brothers makin' records
When the people lookin' at cha from the outside
Open your mouth wide and say, "Aight"
Hidden emotions, you and I control it
Don't get pissed 'cause this is how we show it
Hidden emotions, you and I control it
Don't get pissed 'cause this is how we show it
People wonder why when my man died
I didn't even cry, melted on the inside
Now I'm becomin' like a runner, sweatin' like a plumber
My heart started poundin' like thunder
Yo, am I ready for revenge that depends
On how my future look in the bends
Is my life worth losin', my seed, my wife
Gettin' my life snatched for makin' wrong right
I was always on the calm tip
Last brother to harm or bomb shit
Now I'm on some real Vietnam shit
The quiet storm 'til the riot is on
I despise doin' harm but my foes gotta be conquered
As I warn my peeps, "Beware the beast that creep the streets"
Spillin' your plasma on the concrete
Killin' the murderer, acts of war, villains attack the poor
Women and children pack heat now
Growin' up, I was sad young buck
Dad said, "Son look don't become corrupt"
I knew he really meant well to see me represent and excel
But yo the torments of Hell lay dormant until
I try to escape out of the muck and the mire
Nearly got killed bein' stuck in the fire like Jeremiah
I weep for my peeps gettin' bucked from the streets to the choir
Hidden emotions, you and I control it
Don't get pissed 'cause this is how we show it
Hidden emotions, you and I control it
Don't get pissed 'cause this is how we show it
Hidden emotions, you and I control it
Don't get pissed 'cause this is how we show it
Hidden emotions, you and I control it
Don't get pissed 'cause this is how we show it
I'm lettin' mines out, I can see through, I can see through
Who you want me to believe you are?
Front shine and son knowin' you're a fallen star
I see the look in your eyes when I pass you in my car
I been felt the vibe so I played you from afar
Your problem is you think too negative
It perpetuates your condition and cuts short your ambition
You're not a wicked one son
You need development, don't worry when things are irrelevant
You need to let it out 'cause it could cause you bad health
Hidin' your emotions could rob you from yourself
Hide you from yourself
Hidden emotions, you and I control it
Don't get pissed 'cause this is how we show it
Hidden emotions, you and I control it
Don't get pissed 'cause this is how we show it
Hidden emotions, you and I control it
Don't get pissed 'cause this is how we show it
Hidden emotions, you and I control it
Don't get pissed 'cause this is how we show it
Yeah, the older you get, the more you regret
Hidden emotions, hidden emotions
We all got 'em, gotta let 'em shine
