Lyrics
Uncontainable
(Transcription attempt by Ethan)
put me in a container
drain the feelin to make my brain numb
i'm not the one, from that
hey yo, i must refrain son
suckas wanna categorize me,
hypnotize me, then downsize me
outsiders like me just gotta rise see
i'm tryin ta fly g, when i get highly
enlightened with the herbal
inside a tight an'
it's frightenin, the rules that be be tigher
restrictions on my writin'
plus my lifestyle and my actions
police be askin me questions
they don't be knowin that i be droppin lessons
like smith and wesson
when i be messin
around the funky rounds
i break out and get down
they can't lock me down
motherfuckers can't stop me now
because i be myself forever
even in bad weather
they can't sever my pleasure endeavor
to smoke a swisha
the mind lifta
causing blistas on their fingers
and cause the brain to drift ta
people's existence come
through they instigate the drum
in the distance, hey yo we feel the rythm
hey yo we treble, we stickum
and ripple and hit em
uncontainable styles
there's no bull-shittin.
uncontainable, we can't be held back
no walls are strong enough to hold the buddha and we like that
on the streets
kids are faceless, remain un-named
and untamed, bassheads and beatfreaks with no fame
yo i got to maintain, it's simple and it's plain
i be up and down the mix yo,
but i must make my name...heard
word to mother yo we're keeping it real
and when i walk through the streets
yo i have no fear
cause it's the mind-killa,
so many guns the brain filla
suckas pull mil
and think they real but no chilla
possibilities are dyin
got the city mad tense
everybody seem to got a mad flava defense
if i lose i my life tonight
i don't want to repent
can't think about the future
cause it's all about the present time
my state of mind stays grounded by mad tracks
cities for the suckers that all wanna be baddest
but the baddest man needs no one
you need to grow some
yo, and stop actin like a ho-hum
conformist, get your own flavor or get this
cause hip-hop's some real shit
and must get real
everybody wanna be
what they see on tv
very ordinary, but on the contrary
my vision prepares me to envision the long range
still many pursue my character,
and call me strange
it's still the same,
the game, i feel no shame
cause i kick up like a rocket when my soul's unchained.
uncontainable, we can't be held back
no walls are strong enough to hold the buddha and we like that
we cannot be seen,
we cannot be controlled,
it cannot be heard
it is beyond sound
it cannot be held
it is intangible
uncontainable
the open mind
uncontainable, we can't be held back
no walls are strong enough to hold the buddha and we like that
don't attempt to define me
my rhymes be changin like the times
rearrangin in my mind
when i come, press rewind
refined a blow a thunder
find out just like the flow of life
gets mad tight and mad deep
suckas wanna sleep
but they never peep
the fact that they cannot pick their mind deep before the beat
it's all about knowledge from the streets
yo, the beat feel the beat that's got a soul to be free
cause it's all about bringin your mentality
bein a real ? the status see
women, they got me feelin
and they head hidden and concealin
tryin to tear off the peelings
of all their dealins
with this very very very very very bony motherfuckers.
keep it real kid and take pride in bein the other
cause once you start up actin like you better than some
get deader than some
that's just how the priest said it son
the meditation, plus the mad ism that ? like
the mind right, word to life
this game's strife
cause nothing remains when you try to chain it down
it's breaks down kid,
word up, that's the tao
mad philosophy unlocking me
with knowledge there's no stoppin me
cock back my flow and just let my flow go
it's so, stimulating
creating mad funk
never hesitating
cause it's fun to keep to people waiting
i do my thing and then get out
take the less traveled route
yo, and try to never doubt.
my creativity, yo cause it's live
i give the whole world a shout for '95
