0 Appetite for Construction (Remix) Lyrics

Sitting outside

Looking at others

On their own stoops

Picking up guns

So they can practice

How to shoot

But shoot at themselves

For petty crimes

Instead of for protection

From these times

I hear the corners chime

Cause on them I see peeps

Slangin nickels and dimes

Instead of planting seeds

To grow for harvest time

They just smoking weed

But then call them trees

Niggas please

Living hand to mouth

And think they ballin

Jeez

Wearing others names

On their chest

It's appalling

But I guess

If our nation were a car

It would be stalling

Cause right now

Its like the

Pyramids are falling

So who got build em back

Instead of just balling hard

Bugattis and Cadillacs

And slanging shit like that

I stack against that shit

Like meth

I fill in cracks

Just call me

Brick and mortar

I'm in order

Plug in the cord

To feed

My Appetite for construction

Appetite for construction

Appetite for construction

The appetite is tremendous

So I'm gonna spend this

Building for life

Since others are trying

To end this

Instead of living scared

Hearing impaired

Imma grow the locks

In my hair

I know you stare

But I don't care

Cause my world

Just ain't over there

The thoughts from

My mind went bang

And all over the world

Is the result of my brain

Cause I'm a brother you

Can't sleep on

Or try to cheat on

Some of us

You even beat on

I do damage

With your minds

In my hand

But the average ones

Looking at me

Don't understand

I'm Sirius

So therefore

You know that I care for

The suckers that ain't sane

Pulling real triggers

The triggers triggers

Yo And that's just the way

It gotta go

Even so

But any time

That the minds

Wanna leave

I got 42 written

On my sleeve

And its ready

To stop wars

Cause that's what

They're here for

I build up a million men

And name them Moors

And that's a million

As one that can

Change with the appetite

Cause we be rapping right

So I had to create

Leaders that ain't

In my presence

Building up the essence

Appetite for construction

Appetite for construction

Appetite for construction

Appetite for construction

Appetite for construction

Check it out y'all

In the house y'all

So I can show and flow

To let the people know

So won't you

Ease on down

To the yellow brick road

To KMT

And just let me

Get in it

Imma show you the results

Of a capitalistic culture

Since they just vultures

First one

I'm a current brotha

With an attitude

You best show respect

Or God will

Break your neck

Second one

We should be sexing

In wedlock

I'll have to let

You know when

My son calls me pop

Number 3

Im a spiritual fanatic

I create power

And the proofs

In the static

Number 4

Here's what's in store

A sane type

Brotha that can flow

Hardcore

Fifth one

Construction's just begun

I like to have fun

But I still work

For ONE

Step 6

Hmmm it's

Kinda tricky

Can't forget that

Some of y'all

Are just Judas

Don't play

K-A-Y-O-D-E

Or when you get to 7

You'll be 6 feet deep

Number 8

Our power is great

Move in forefront

Our square is at stake

Ninth one

I gotta keep it raw

The real deal to

Follow is

God's law

Last but not least

I must keep it real

Number 10 is my

Appetite to build
