Lyrics

THE HIP HOP BLUES
BY DANIEL LISBE AND COLIN SMITH

WITH OPEN EYES, ANOTHER DAY IN THIS LIFETIME / HOLDIN? CRIES, COME ON
EVERYBODY THIS LIFE?S MINE / AND BROKEN TIES, COME ON HOLD ON THIS
LIFELINE / THE SUN?LL RISE AND GONNA GO SOMEWHERE THAT THIS LIGHT
SHINES / ON LOST SOULS, COME ON THERE?S A LOT TO BE TOLD / I?M TALKIN?
SLOW BUT KNOW THIS ALWAYS YOU WON?T BE FORGOT THOUGH / THERE?S LOTS MORE, THAT?LL CRY BEHIND LOCKED DOORS / SO WALK FORWARD, AND RAISE YOUR EYES UP OFF THE FLOOR / 'CAUSE LAST NIGHT, I HAD A REQUIEM FOR A DREAM / MY LAST RIGHTS I READ AND IT WAS BETTER THAN WHAT IT SEEMS / I?LL FLASH LIGHT IN HOPES THAT ALL OF Y?ALL WILL BE RUNNIN? FREE / MY PAST LIFE, IS SOMETHIN? ALL Y?ALL CAN COME AND SEE / THE OTHER SIDE, IS LOOKIN? GOOD YOUR BRIGHT BROWN EYES / IN BLUE SKIES, AND WHEN YOU?RE GONE THE WHOLE TOWN TRIES / TO COME ALIVE, I WANNA SMILE BUT I FOUND I / COULD RUN A WHILE, HARD AS I TRIED THOUGH, THERE WASN?T TIME

CHORUS: (2X)
IT?S THE HIP HOP BLUES WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES / ?CAUSE EVERYWHERE I?M
GOIN? I?M JUST FOLLOWIN? YOU / WE GOTTA CHOOSE TO SMILE OR WE COULD WALK WITH THE BLUES...DAMN, I GOT THE HIP HOP BLUES / IT'S THE HIP HOP BLUES, WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES / 'CAUSE EVERYWHERE I'M GOIN' I'M JUST FOLLOWIN' YOU / WE GOTTA CHOOSE TO SMILE OR WE COULD WALK WITH THE BLUES / I KNOW IT'S HARD TO DO, BUT GOTTA KNOW WE GOT A LOT TO LOSE

THIS ONE?S GOIN? OUT FOR, LOVE FOR MY GRANDMAMMA / CAN?T FIGURE IT OUT
THOUGH, THIS LIFE IS GETTIN? HARDER / GOD I WANNA MAKE HER PROUD, KNOW I?MA LIVE IN HONOR / I JUST WANNA WALK AROUND, DON?T WANNA LIVE THIS LIFE WITHOUT HER / WIND BLOWS, GON' BE WHISPERIN? THERE SHE GOES / I SING SO I KNOW SHE GON' TAKE CARE OF MY SOUL / SO HERE I STAND, THOUGHT I?D BE LOST IN THIS LIFE ALONE / AND HERE I AM, BUT DON?T KNOW IF I?M RIGHT OR I?M WRONG / I NEVER FEAR A MAN ?CAUSE HE COULD CRY AS HARD AS THE NIGHT WAS LONG / I?M FEELIN? SAD, THOUGHT I?D BE HAPPY ONCE I WAS GROWN / BUT ALL MY TEARS, NEVER WENT NOWHERE IN ALL MY YEARS / AND ALL MY PEERS, WHO THINK THAT I SHOULD TELL ?EM WHAT THEY WANNA HEAR / COME ON HERE, AND WHAT I?LL TELL ?EM WHEN THEY'RE COMIN? NEAR / IS HOW THEY'RE ON THE ROAD TO HOME, BUT IN THE END THEY COULDN?T STEER / COME INSIDE, IT WAS MY HUMBLE ABODE / AND IF I WERE TO FLY, KNOW THAT ONE DAY YOU COULD COME ALONG

CHORUS: (2X)

THIS ONE?S GOIN? OUT TO ALL THE ONE?S THAT I LOST IN LOVE / WISH ?EM WELL, THEY LEFT THEIR HEART BEHIND, I GOT A LOT BECAUSE / THEY'RE WATCHIN? ME, FROM MY DREAMS THEY COME AND TALK TO ME / BUT CAUTIOUSLY, ?CAUSE WE WERE YOUNG AND GOT A LOT TO SEE / BUT LIFE IS SHORT, AND IN THE END IT?S GONNA RUN AWAY / BUT LIFE IS YOURS I KNOW YOU'RE AFRAID THOUGH ?CAUSE YOU WANNA STAY / MY LITTLE ANGEL, TOLD ME ALL IS GONNNA BE ALRIGHT / AND NOT TO WORRY ?BOUT A THING, ?CAUSE IF YOU WANT TO WE?LL LEAVE TONIGHT / AND ALL WE ARE, ARE JUST SOME SOLDIERS OF GOD / AND ALL HIS SONS AND DAUGHTERS RISE UP WHEN THE GOIN? GETS HARD / A WINDING ROAD, LIKE THE WIND OF MARIAH BLOWS / AND I WAS TOLD THAT ONE DAY I?MA FIND ME A ROSE / TIME TO GO, AND I?MA GROW ME THIS SHININ? SOUL / WHO FINALLY CHOSE TO SLOW DOWN, AND THE WORLD KNOWS SHE?S MINE TO HOLD / A LOT OF PEOPLE, SHOULD KNOW THEY WON?T GET A SECOND CHANCE / I GOTTA LEAVE YOU, NOT SITTIN? DOWN THOUGH...SO GET UP AND DANCE

CHORUS: (2X)
