Текст песни Street Diction - Dälek

Evolve from high bred intellectuals who slept on park bench
Topple you off pedestal, thrive at any level
Find it hard to settle
Traverse habitat that tests a man′s meddle

Fist grip the neck of devils, barely time to revel
They fencing off the ghettos
Most heads I know never even seen a meadow
Son of concrete, given birth and death on same street
We got no time to weep

And what the steel don't dead, rots away with disease
Gettin′ carried by six is our only release
Time has come to pull sword from sheath
Raise the meek

I love these beats

See shifty eyes like they never held heat
Walk 50 miles and we never retreat
Reread every scroll 'cause I barely do sleep
Hope to reach my apex like Kerouac at his peak

Best you don't speak, just listen
Bound to choke the life out your chest
Like these mics that I′m grippin′
20-20 through eyes with ambition
Here to redefine the street diction

Best you don't speak, just listen
Bound to choke the life out your chest
Like these mics that I′m grippin'
20-20 through eyes with ambition
Here to redefine the street diction

Vent frustration over underground airwaves
Displayed traits that convey my conviction
Fall between the cracks of this system
Systematically act erratic to emphasize position

Post-apocalyptic landscape creates vivid image
Struggle ain′t made for the timid
In these Bricks one mistake leave you rigid
Ain't here for the gimmicks
Hip hop is how you live it

Check the verbal rhythm
Reduced to head nods when you feel ′em
The fortunate connect, the rest get the serum
Poisonous ideas infect like snakes venom
Vernacular adapts to express what's in them

Masses organized once again pose threat
"Chickens home to roost", is what a wise man said
Since he spit truth they made sure he bled
It's been much too long that we been misled

Best you don′t speak, just listen
Bound to choke the life out your chest
Like these mics that I′m grippin'
20-20 through eyes with ambition
Here to redefine the street diction

Best you don′t speak, just listen
Bound to choke the life out your chest
Like these mics that I'm grippin′
20-20 through eyes with ambition
Here to redefine the street diction

Best you don't speak, just listen
Bound to choke the life out your chest
Like these mics that I′m grippin'
20-20 through eyes with ambition
Here to redefine the street diction

Best you don't speak, just listen
Bound to choke the life out your chest
Like these mics that I′m grippin′
20-20 through eyes with ambition
Here to redefine the street diction
