everday motown grooves

Sometimes the blues keep us cold in the city where summer is lucky to have a turn
We yearn for warmer days
Not only in temps but in rents
Because when the money is due there's few that can make the payments
But it takes patience to make it out of debt
Expect the check to hold the fam of five to a slice of turkey ham
So there's always beef to go around
Don't you know, a lack of food can become tragic in the hood
Should it get any worse it becomes a curse
Word, is born almost everyday
Since the only way out is through dictionaries
The vocabulary list is so short that even I'm tall compared to its readings
The feedings on the mind don't fulfill the hopeless
So they hope less
Cope stress with dope mess
And the crack breaks backs
Not only on mothers but our brothers
Who are fighting for a buck
Fresh out of luck so they bang
Until the only bells heard are from church steeples
But I see death reaper
So he's a keeper
Who keeps her away from her love
Because she was shot astray
A passer by, so she wasn't in the way
Night and day begin to look the same
But the change in the office can't stop this democracy
Because wherever you go you'll always find majority rules
Its cool when you aren't the one stuck between heat
A fire that burns even after shells land on hells ceiling
People stop kneeling because believing has lost its faith
Space no longer likes faces because its better to keep to your own land than lend a hand
But what happened to a village and child relationship
Did the whips become a new definiton for slavery
So the new machine only needs oil to spoil the minds stuck behind the line of mellow tunes and hello june
Its still spring so people hip hop their way to freedom
But the symptoms of stardom isn't always a dream
But if you wake up and smell the dew these words won't feel like a dream
That's why I keep it real
So no more seals on the potholes this city has
This pity was here
But I'm here to create life
Because she's pregnant with my seeds
So let them grow so that melodies won't stay as the ice cream trucks tune
And more like lullaby that'll rest you
But don't test dudes
Just test through
The song doesn't have to stop because the bless sings
So stop and listen to the motown grooves
