Testo Props - Hil St. Soul
Testo della canzone Props (Hil St. Soul), tratta dall'album Soul Organic (20th Anniversary Edition)
This lost generation
You better listen carefully
'Cause what I'm about to tell you
I'm a tell you all my thing
Need to go back to basics
Grassroots to the beginning
Seek a higher inspiration
From our heritage our history
(Give it up, represent, and give props to our roots)
(Pick 'em up, represent, give props, much respect is due)
(To our place, Creator, soul survivors, pioneers)
(Pick 'em up, represent, give props, one hundred percent)
Yeah, yeah, yeah-ah
Mm-mm, oh-oh
Yeah-ah
And to my predecessors
Your responsibility's
To share your wealth of wisdom
Amongst your seed
Replenish them with the nourishment
Be the knowledge you've retained
So legacy keeps on flourishing
For successive generations to come
(Give it up, represent, and give props to our roots) Oh yeah
(Pick 'em up, represent, give props, much respect is due) Represent
(To our place, Creator, soul survivors, pioneers)
(Pick 'em up, represent, give props, one hundred percent)
(I'm not talkin' 'bout a revolution,
but a mind change) Talkin' 'bout a change
(Preservation of tradition, ancestors for to keep)
Oh yeah (Talkin' about the restoration, of our history)
Celebration of our culture's beauty (Inherent in our genes)
(Give it up, represent, and give props to our roots) Oh yeah
(Pick 'em up, represent, give props, much respect is due) Oh, oh
(To our place, Creator, soul survivors, pioneers) Give props, yeah
(Pick 'em up, represent, give props, one hundred percent)
(Give it up, represent, and give props to our roots) Oh yeah
(Pick 'em up, represent, give props, much respect is due) (Represent)
(To our place, our Creator, soul survivors, pioneers)
(Pick 'em up, represent, give props, one hundred percent)
As for me, I'm gonna keep on doin'
What I was born to do
Give it up and representin', for my fraternity
(My fraternity)
I know the only way forward is goin' back to my roots
Embracing old traditions
Coupled with the new
Oo-oo-oo
Givin' props to our roots
Like a soul survivor should
Givin' props to our roots
Like a soul survivor should
(Give it up, represent,
and give props to our roots) Givin' props to our roots
(Pick 'em up, represent, give props,
much respect is due) Like a soul survivor should
(To our place, our Creator,
soul survivors, pioneers) Givin' props to our roots
(Pick 'em up, represent, give props,
one hundred percent) Like a soul survivor should
