Lyrics Born & Lateef - Last Trumpet

[whispered 2X]
Watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out-watch out
Watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out-watch out

[Lyrics Born]
In the beginning men and women had an obligation to they children

[Lateef the Truth Speaker]
Then there was a real and true necessity and need for building

[Lyrics Born] To instill the discipline and will, proliferate the lineage
[Lateef] Matters of the spirit, mind, and body taken serious
[Lyrics Born] But the way that we became what we became, somebody please explain
[Lateef] Well we can tell you if your curious, those that reign got the
masses in chains and their minds enslaved
[*both*] And that's the part that makes me furious

[whispered 2X]
Watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out-watch out
Watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out-watch out

[repeat 2X]
'Cause there definitely ain't, no info readily available
To the general lay people, so let me know

[Lateef]
It's these elitist multimedia creeps that feed shit to the neediest
It's the greediest trying to cheat us out of our God-given rights

[Lyrics Born]
To a quality education, minimal opportunities available
Limited occupations, we are not given a choice

[Lateef]
Or given a voice within a political system pimped and gangstered-out
wherein the people are the victims, sheep, being led about

[Lyrics Born]
While the followers and patrons of any faith outside the mainstream
are berated, falsely painted as endangering the way things were

[L] And the way things are tonight,
[LB]I can't believe that things ain't worse
[L] With all the wicked seeds we've sown have grown
[LB] And poisoned all the earth
[L] It's serves us right
[LB] Can't really act surprised when the harvest has no worth
[L] The curse that lurks around the corner
[*BOTH*] Is the product of our work

[whispered 2X]
Watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out-watch out
Watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out-watch out

[Lyrics Born]
(RIGHT NOW!)
The holy war is growing, opposing forces pony up
the origins of which have been historically ignored

[Lateef]
(RIGHT NOW!)
Our foreign policy is meddling in some democracy
upholding an aristocracy of secret terrorist cells

[Lyrics Born]
(RIGHT NOW!)
The global poverty that we accept so commonly
turns people into property, one step away from hell

[Lateef]
(RIGHT NOW!)
Health care battles, bioengineering
for the worldwide scare of the plague that we're fearing

[Lyrics Born] (RIGHT NOW!) They have the right to put your life under
surveillance
[Lateef] (RIGHT NOW!) They got the right to lock us up, we don't obey 'em
[Lyrics Born] (RIGHT NOW!) Modern education don't prepare the youth
[*both*] (RIGHT NOW!) [RIGHT NOW!] Do what you gotta do!
[Lyrics Born] (RIGHT NOW!) There's people shootin' at people that's throwin
stones
[Lateef] (RIGHT NOW!) There's a movement of evil across the globe
[*both*] RIGHT NOW is where we at, what comes around goes around
TIME FOR ACTION BEFORE THE LAST TRUMPET SOUNDS!

[Lateef]
(RIGHT NOW!)
Opposing forces pony up for a cause so glorious
but he who stands alone with justice, none touches

[Lyrics Born]
(RIGHT NOW!)
The only option we can profit from is movement
toward the positive progressive thought that's rooted up in consciousness

[Lateef]
(RIGHT NOW!)
Grass roots run deep, troops do
diffuse confusion stewed by rude groups loose

[Lyrics Born]
(RIGHT NOW!)
We can benefit if we can pool our energy collectively
Project it in a direction used effectively

[Lateef] (RIGHT NOW!) We have the opportunity for self-improvement
[Lyrics Born] (RIGHT NOW!) We can reinforce the strength of the family unit
[Lateef] (RIGHT NOW!) Our community, it must support the youth
[*both*] (RIGHT NOW!) [RIGHT NOW!] Do what you gotta do
[Lateef] (RIGHT NOW!) There's people looking for people with common goals
[Lyrics Born] (RIGHT NOW!) There's a movement of unity across the globe
[*both*] RIGHT NOW is where we at, what comes around goes around
TIME FOR ACTION BEFORE THE LAST TRUMPET SOUNDS!

[whispered as many times, while DJ Shadow cuts and scratches]
Watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out-watch out
Watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out-watch out

[flipz4]

they are no longer together, so, no new albums.

[Kaliformula]

that's pretty ovious that they're not together but we can all hope right... together they're lyrically unstoppable.

i got the best ever book if u into Latyrx, because they were interviewed for it and they break down a lot of their songs and explain how they come up with rhythms and flows and ways of writing those back and forth parts they do real well, the book is [HOW-TO-RAP], real in-depth stuff in that boook...

[mrcuddles100]

innovative as ever, cant get enough of this

[qdwright76]

@777LightWorker22

thanks sweetie ;)

I don't have the code or anything, I just copy and paste ૐ

[777LightWorker22]

@BellaGypsy1982 how does your Om signature work? that is very cool

[BellaGypsy1982]

@777LightWorker22

Very true!!!

I always wonder about that same thing!!

Some people just aren't very bright. ;)

ૐ

[777LightWorker22]

it's ironic that people make posts about disliking things on the very video they are still watching as they type the unnecessary comments.

[777LightWorker22]

@brightlight613 dude just because you don't like some music doesn't mean you need to announce it to everybody else. Who the fuck cares if you don't like it? People putting messages on this part of youtube obviously enjoy the music.... so feck off if you can't listen to it. bye now

p.s. if you listened to the lyrics you may learn a thing or two.

[HyeVltg3]

this is EPIC!

[brightlight613]

sounds like something meant for people who enjoy crap music
