Dawning of the A.G.E.

Lyrics

[Intro: Abstract Rude] The dawning of the age It's the dawning of.. It's the dawning of.. It's the dawning of the age [Verse 1: Abstract Rude] Got me caught up in the maze, Frankie Beverly I like the way Donny Hathaway sang to me I sprang from the '75 dawning of a sound Out of Disco into Hip-Hop, calmin' us down Darin' to keep kids off, takin' a right with McGruff isn't enough If in the system we don't trust The judges are tippin' the scales, prophecy pervails Your honors have failed, they're not workin' at every detail Believe half of us on TV Like none of what they say Thеy point shavin' a shady way I'm savin' for that rainy day Knowin' that gamblers already picked who won and lost it Whеn billions were involved it was determined when it started Sceptic to the heart, especially involved in politics Me not deal with why when it all contradicts I promised it will be a new day and it is Way indicative of being creative with the figurative Speech, hoping to seal the breach Until it's air tight Out all night and searchin' for the daylight [Chorus: Abstact Rude, The Grouch, Eligh] It's the dawning of age It's the dawning of age It's the dawning of the age It's the dawning of the age, the turning of the page Where your words can dig your own grave So watch what you say and make yourself useful Stay down with your roots And always be truthful In the dawning of the age [Verse 2: The Grouch] Pass the torch this way, get off your high horse You can't oversee us Or counteract this force I'm down to crack this sport, wide open Hit the court, slide floatin' On the plane, high scopin' Space mostly empty just waiting for me to use it This new age contempt me, but I simply won't lose it There's too much writin' on us Risin' to be hidin' in the lies And when I swipe on the horizon I leave my eyes on But still I'm watchin' something else Stockin' up my shelf and never runnin' out of self This is a lifetime term with no recount Landed in the sea by no mistake And you would hate to take me out Not knowin' what a shot could do when exposed to you See, old ones wear off I always chose the new In form of views based on feelings I break up ceilings and stay grounded, poundin' This is the teaming up of wits I got 'em fiending once they get The meaning of what we spit I say shit like this then turn the page When your mind moves constant It's always the dawning of the age [Chorus: Abstact Rude, The Grouch, Eligh] It's the dawning of age It's the dawning of age (This is the dawning of the age) It's the dawning of the age, the turning of the page Where your words can dig your own grave So watch what you say and make yourself useful Stay down with your roots And always be truthful In the dawning of the age It's the dawning of the age [Verse 3: Eligh, (Abstract Rude)] It's the beginning of the cycle A new foundation doormat Where we lookin' inside the window Catchin' rays outside a sunburst Express it all in one verse Dispersed in the master pattern Age of the man who'll find enlightenment In the teachin' of his children Rage in a man too much excitement On the streets build up the anger Makin' family feel like strangers It's not right, we're here for the healin' Patient and doctor come [?] housing answers Look at the way we kill that cancer Dominant blows, dominate shows With positive instict, just think Twice before you [?] That been inside the mountain Where the ink here flows for days Mother nature be my grave Out that music I'll be saved Come on people, move my way It's just the (Dawning of the age) I'm writing on this page For the recital on some mic affectin' people where they blaze Burn a stage to find your one point For the sake of birth and thought We take this stage to the new plateaus Gauge, reading off the markets It's the dawning of the age I'm writing on this page For the recital on this mic affectin' people till they raise [Chorus: Abstact Rude, The Grouch, Eligh] It's the dawning of age It's the dawning of age It's the dawning of the age It's the dawning of the age, the turning of the page Where your words can dig your own grave So watch what you say and make yourself useful Stay down with your roots And always be truthful In the dawning of the age It's the dawning of the age It's the dawning of age It's the dawning of age It's the dawning of the age It's the dawning of the age, the turning of the page Where your words can dig your own grave So watch what you say and make yourself useful Stay down with your roots And always be truthful In the dawning of the age It's the dawning of the age
