Keep Falling

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ursula Rucker] Time waits for no one Use it wisely, not wastefully Live not dangerously or aimlessly For if you do, you'll disgrace your chi Living your life with distaste In the guise of being carefree In the name of being... free Better call on that god you believe To free you from the clutches Of those that would have you perpetuate Millenium slavery Of those that would have you perpetuate Millenium slavery [Pre-Chorus: Ursula Rucker] Hold on, slow... down Hold... on, slow down Hold on, slow... down Before you let them dumb you down now [Verse 2: Ursula Rucker] I'll be the Crouching Tiger, you be the Hidden Dragon, and While you're busy getting your swag on,  I'll find you, sneak up behind you Fuck you up with my nimble knowledge nunchakus Make you sit down and learn life's lessons Make you work hard to receive your blessings And then I'll try to save you From the media's campaign to massacre your brain (Make you insane in the membrane) Feed you armageddon-sized portions Of disaster and pain So your strength, past, and soul Are easier to claim For perilous gain There's no one to blame But yourself For believing their treacherous messages We all know how rough it is We all know how tough it gets Especially when you resist You resist Resist Resist [Chorus: Ursula Rucker] Hold on, slow... down Hold... on, slow down Hold on, slow... down Before you shut down, before you melt down [Verse 3: Ursula Rucker] I realize sometimes violence is necessary Particularly when predatory enemies Seek to dictate your destiny Teach you watered-down history Make you blindly leap, in false faith Into their cesspool for fools and governing ghouls Use your gift of choice, listen to your own voice [Verse 4: Hawkeye Phanatic] I'm proud to MC, so allow me to speak As you can see, I'm in too deep, so I need to reach These beats depend on moods set by inner means And I have a tendency to hold a mic so tenderly And every time it enters me, it's Heaven, I see It's got me hoping I'll be the next to speak it I'm keeping it real, with that much needed action It's such an attraction and it makes me feel so relaxed, and When I'm on stage I feel I have a better grasp, and I'm quick to holler back, because I got a lot of pep, and energy Mentally, do you remember me? Once on tempest, now a long-lasting memory I always demonstrate – wait, it's only a second away Pressing forth with a force, just to ventilate So let it play – The day I met the way I sway to a DJ, I knew I'd stay It's in my veins, so my heart's completely engulfed As long as the world revolves, I'll set it off So here's my life – what more could it cost? I find my way around, even if I'm lost I'm leaving the lines crossed, divine styles by the shine's gloss My mind's thoughts come and go in a blind toss I climb to the top of what I know and rhyme off I'm off, about to sign off Thank God for the arrival, the survival is too vital to loosen grips I use my lips and tighten the links between music, mics and inks I'm on the brink of sickness, I think... (I think...) Or something... (something...) [Sample] "Keep..." "Yeah..." "Keep falling..." [Interlude: Ursula Rucker] Da-da-da-da-da, da Da-da-da-da-da, da, da-da Da-da-da-da-da, da Da-da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da... [Verse 4: Ursula Rucker (sample)] Make your own choice Listen to your own voice ("Keep falling...") Proverbs say fear of man causeth snares So I beware and take care ("Keep falling...") I'm not preaching, but like you, I'm seeking Trying to defeat this thing ("Keep falling...") I hear Marley speaking So I help him to sing These songs of freedom, of redemption ("Keep falling...") Hold on, slow down Hold... on, slow down Don't let them fuck you around Hold on, slow... down (down...) Hold on, slow down, slow down, slow down Slow down (down... down... down...)
