The Bong Connection

I don't have time and it's Friday night Been sleeping with two eyes open looking for you For you The kind of girl who won't apologize Something cool in her oceans washes over you Over you And I'm just trying to catch her eyes Her blue jeans don't fit quite right, she smiles Yeah, she smiles I don't know how, I don't know why I'm just trying to make a connection To the left, to the right I'm just trying to make a connection And in your eyes, a silhouette I'm just trying to make a connection I'm not a man to walk away I'm not a man to walk away from a connection The morning sun caresses her skin My mouth is dry as Gordon's gin, but I feel alive Feel alive She said, "I don't believe in love at first sight" But you can take me home if it feels alright, oh, baby Oh, baby I said, "You drink as fast as Hemingway" But you still know all the right words to say, oh, baby Pretty baby I don't know how, I don't know why I'm just trying to make a connection To the left, to the right I'm just trying to make a connection And in your eyes, a silhouette I'm just trying to make a connection I'm not a man to walk away I'm not a man to walk away from a connection (Connection, connection) (Connection, connection) I'm not a man to walk away from a connection (Connection, connection) (Connection, connection) You always felt so out of place As the light hits your face And the dust falls from your eyes You said you never want to say goodbye We took a cab to the white light You said you don't want to end the night And I said, I'm not a man I'm not a man to walk away from a connection I don't know how, I don't know why I'm just trying to make a connection To the left, to the right I'm just trying to make a connection And in your eyes, a silhouette I'm just trying to make a connection I'm not a man to walk away I'm not a man to walk away from a connection (Connection, connection) (Connection, connection) I'm not a man to walk away from a connection

Why are there so many songs about rainbows And what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions And rainbows have nothing to hide So we've been told and some choose to believe it I know they're wrong, wait and see Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers and me Who said that every wish would be heard And answered when wished on the morning star? Somebody thought of that and someone believed it Look what it's done so far What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing And what do we think we might see? Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers and me All of us under it's spell We know that it's probably magic Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices? I've heard them calling my name Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors The voice might be one and the same I've heard it too many times to ignore it It's something that I'm supposed to be Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers and me

KRS-One representing Ma 6T va Crack-er Cercle Rouge, KRS-One Droppin on em like this Pick it up, pick it up You know what time it is when KRS-One comes through Representing all true hip hop culture You know how we do How can they throw you in prison now for long years If in reality the black man doesn't belong here Have you forgotten how we got to this place Why then are all the jails predominantly the black race If you dont teach me my culture I dont know who I am I dont know the difference between my enemy and my friend So I'm robbin and killin I got nothing to live for You turn my father into a boy my mother into a whore Now I'm hardcore on the Ave Watching while people that got me to walk fast After beatin us, rapin us and robbin us 400 years of that's what's inside of us Take a look at me now I'm really your creation A technological anti-human mutation A mutation of a better way of life You first pulled the knife but to heal it will take my whole life I fought no force on this level I listen to bass and treble Thinking that the white man is the devil Cause who could be so cruel like this So heartless, so senseless But I'm taught by the devil To grow up and be a Devil To do the same devilish things on another level However when I act out the mission You turn around and throw me in prison You a sucker [Chorus: KRS-One] If you come from France And you like the breakdance say OHOH (OHOH) And If you come from New York You can kill a man by taking him out of his land And putting him in a land he really doesnt understand Then teach him to respect Greek mythology like Pythagorus, Ptolomies, Socrates These people are thieves They stole us astronomy, mathematics, all tactics of biology Even the concept of democracy stolen from the king Akhanoton Put down the book, use your brain If you dont know who you are you are clinically insane The board of education cant see that Well it deserves to get beaten and robbed by black Give me my frame of mind back Give me my culture But you dont understand that cause you a sucker [Chorus] I see Beauval in the house, Collinet in the house Sarcelles in the house, Cercle Rouge in the house KRS-One rocks the mike without a doubt Turning parties out You know what I am about Cause we will be here forever I told you Soldier floods your mind like Noah As you get older you've got to pay attention At how you livin hardcore You aint a kid anymore grow up, to blow up the spot you're at Learn the skill and go to the top of that Cercle Rouge definitely rockin in rap KRS-One I got your back [Chorus] KRS-One with the freestyle rhyme Representing Cercle Rouge in France All the graffiti artists We like to breakdance to the MC yes you know that's me KRS-One down with the BDP From way back you know we take it like that Kenny P and Zizwe, Will-Dee, gods of rap We do it like this, do it like that
