TORN

Lyrics

[Intro] Change style (Like what?) You know.. change it Mhmm... (I just get in these moods, man) (Make it happen...) They brought you the mood, within the music Now the music, within the mood [Chorus] We're torn between the new ways of the present Between the old ways of the past What will be the ways of the future? How long will the new world last? [Verse 1] The masses are innocent to the magnificent Ab isn't it, my raps are significant So I have to benefit, wouldn't you? If you had skill that other people couldn't do? I'm putting new thought inside your mind Fat Jacks makes the music, I write the rhymes Tribe Unique combines to put the vision in the rhythm It is written, certain things are forbidden I remember when a simple rhyme was a jewel Now you gotta freestyle and act a fool The blacker you are, the better for being cool And gettin' screwed And plus somebody takin' food out your baby's mouth You make me doubt The system, when you make a world issue out of O.J. Simpson? [Chorus] We're torn between the new ways of the present Between the old ways of the past What will be the ways of the future? How long will the new world last? [Verse 2:] But things are better than they were, right? They industry is flooded with rappers that were tight But what they are now is something new And everybody race around for what they gonna do This year a new sound in the atmosphere to pick and choose But which is whose? And whose is which? Half the people liked ya better way before ya switched At last, the task becomes a masquerade 'Cause when you pay, you don't bother It becomes harder to stay hungry Because you eatin', ain't keepin' the same company You don't want any static, you think it's copasetic But that's not livin' better If you ain't all together (Homie) Don't let your urge go on to live right Or get your creativity while rippin' on the mic [Chorus] We're torn between the new ways of the present Between the old ways of the past What will be the ways of the future? How long will the new world last? [Verse 3] Servin' in the land of juveniles I'm strivin' while I'm risin' with the brand newest style Uh, my eyes and ears are open I'm peepin' what they actin' like The public eats it up, they got big appetite First page for the rage of a nation Second page for that nation to awaken Third page for the old ways Computers takin' over man, but they man-made Fourth page, "Hooray!" As told by the God soundwave We shall prevail again (Prevail again) Fifth page for the alien (The aliens) Five years 'til when...? [Chorus] We're torn between the new ways of the present Between the old ways of the past What will be the ways of the future? How long will the new world last?
