Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Time By StormTheArsonist
- :01
- I come from a time of sheep skins and leather bombers
- when fathers walked in honor hustling for that dollar
- Afros with fists as picks, and push backs, popping that collar.
- Summers were hotter! where not having a father wasn't common.
- families were anchored and times were much darker
- yet we worked together as a community striving much harder
- We were united, we protected and respected the neighbor's
- When we respected each other, especially our creator.
- When faith was strong, before eating and bed was a time for prayers
- when Moms wore hats to church and Pops wore suits and gators
- when sticks and stones were about building up layers.
- when words weren't a danger, just harmless as they are on paper.
- sure we made mistakes but break habits of repeated failures
- a time of a different generation with different behaviors
- it was in our nature, to fight one on one if someone hate ya.
- and when it was done, we shook hands once we knew who was greater
- neighbors returned favors, borrowing milk, sugar and return it later
- when your day was swung due to 2 broken elevators
- loaded with groceries was major, 14 flights..........
- when children helped out the elderly, even if their strangers
- back when if men cheated, they were labeled "players".
- flipping tapes recording Dj red alert to bump it later.
- when it was cool walking with a Lee jacket, drinking milk out the container
- carrying a boom box blasting.. .."you caught the vapors".
- when break dancing was a gift with a list of trouble makers
- in a land of pay phones but if you were lucky you had a pager
- wearing buckle belts with our name on em as teenagers.
- when Coney partied with the homeless, hot chicks and roller skaters.
- But times were different, back then the music was uplifting
- now we have demon worshipers and Jesus is forbidden
- the respects gone, the children don't even listen
- now words harm those who have different opinions
- instead of unity were mocking those with different visions
- the failure of our generation to help the next is the difference
- Now people turn the eye, walking bye allowing ignorance
- We had Guardian angels, and Black Panthers as our resistance
- we went the distance to help victims, and didn't side with politician's
- if we are going to rise we need to rise together as civilians.
- ..........................Dammmmmn..... time's were different.
