Lyrics The Quest - Attica Blues
I
am
I
am
searching
I
am
searching
for
faith,
beauty
and
hip-hop
I
am
searching
for
all
those
who
died
between
hip
hop
and
heaven
And
all
souls
set
adrift
and
free
from
bedlam
With
headstrong
lyrics
that
rise
like
smoke
from
silver
incense
burners
I
wonder
who
stole
the
thunder
with
the
rasping
edge
And
who
banged
for
baptisms
with
butterflies,
serpentine
roads
and
sunsets
broken
by
cicadas
Have
we
really
lost
our
century
in
an
hour?
Are
we
devoured
by
blind
faith
in
the
powers
that
be?
Are
these
words
as
tense
as
drawn
bow
strings?
Shall
we
rebuild
the
tears
like
sap
from
rubber
trees?
Answer
me!
Answer
me
you
T.S.
Elliots
in
goose
down
jackets
with
your
felt
tip
urban
hieroglyphs,
spliff
smoke,
and
spray
paint
Answer
me
you
soliloquists
with
clenched
fists
'round
the
mike
Answer
me
you
angels
in
adidas
Tell
me
Do
M.C.'s
still
howl
rhymes
into
the
purple
black
of
midnight?
Do
they
still
fight
to
make
arrangements
with
deities
courting
them
with
a
jangle
of
gold
and
silver
bangles
on
their
wrist?
I
need
yearning
voices
of
mangled
passion
I
need
rehearsed
create
those
style
of
faith
and
fashion
I'm
searching
for
hip-hop
beats,
stomping
feet
to
implore
the?
ringing
across
the
seagulls
to
muffle
the
sun
I'm
searching
for
perfumed
cherry
blossoms
and?
You
see
there
will
be
no
toast
to
the
future
in
the
banquet
table
of?
No
golden
petals
weaving
a
carpet
of
light
No
hint
of
arrogance
on
puckered
lips
No
wind-swept
islands
and
dreams
of
sun-lit
silence
No
riot
of
flowers
and
beauty
magnified
through
outmost
attention
And
no
free-style
incantations
to
save
the
souls
of
man
I'm
peeling
off
your
straitjacket
so
you
feel
the
sun
my
friend
I
want
wings,
a
feather,
and
booms
so
we
can
fly
like
birds
to
better
lands
I'm
wondering
I'm
wondering
how
temples
are
now
smokestacks
I'm
up
all
night
in
silvery
moonlight
with
palms
of?
Who
stole
my
afro-pick?
Who
licked
my
fingertips
to
sooth
scratches
from
the
vinyl
groove?
Has
anybody
seen
faith,
beauty
and
hip
hop?
I
have
to
find
faith,
beauty
and
Hip
hop
