lirik lagu r.u.i.n. – surprised by hope (aka my strange tribute to tupac)
(hook)
[verse 1: r.u.i.n.]
writing the future a letter/ with the tip of a feather/
dipped in the bowl of ink/ this what my soul think/
sitting on a tripod/ listening with my ipod/
like a modern nostradamus/ “oh my god/ what’s this!”/
it was so strange but the angels told me to shut up/
grabbing my wrist/ ‘stop with this/ that’s too much, that’s enough!’/
i ignored/ and stored/ the books in alexandria/
but they burned the library, so i panicked and stuff/
now how was i to put messages on records? /
now how was i to spit for the streets and give lectures? /
i could provoke the reverends/ or smoke the herb’s incense/
but none of it could match the mystic very first breathe/
so i went to the river, where i could hear orpheus/
but behind his rhythm/ was the goddess of wisdom/
of course it’s/ artemis and she had the sharpest wit/
she approached me and she whispered to my sad heart this/
(hook)
[verse 2: r.u.i.n.]
she was right, so i tried to recollect, what she said/
to write it down again/ memory’s not a friend/
so i went/ to jerusalem, to pursue what was/
their scriptures and their oracles of their prophet’s luck/
i saw one priest with book, ‘let me take a peek at those!’/
the t-tles were jeremiah and ezekiel/
they spoke about hearts of flesh instead of stone/
and i said i wrote/ something like that prose/ ‘woah, woah, woah!’ / look at that prego/ teen running with her water broke/ no/ husband? wait! you love to go/ slaughter hoes/ with stones? /
d-mn! that’s cruel/ so i knelt to the sand to write the rules/ the commandments you should treasure like jewels/ you mad fools! /
who are you to declare justice/ and cause a ruckus! /
you say you can’t touch this/ i say you can’t judge this/
so i knelt and wiped her tears off her cheek with my shirt/
‘your worth/ much more than their slurs/ gave comfort and told her/
(hook)
[verse 3: r.u.i.n.]
had to continue with the journey/ but i worried/
michael j. fox, back to the future, in a hurry/
to tell them the lie of the matrix/ with my thick codex/
but now that those pages are gone, my soul so so vexed/
a message/ spoken a lot/ not/ often listened to/
for ancient mythical times and what we living through/
man oh man, it filled my head with just such amazement/
the words were as sweet as honey and i can taste it/
thunders/ uttered/ the wonders/ of creation stuttered/
god himself made a toast, and i p-ssed him the b-tter/
normally i’m talkative/ about apocalypse/ but the doors to hope were opened wide and locks were split/
the depressing mad cynic became an optimist/
then god handed me the book, ‘ain’t no one stopping this!’ /
from the prophets of the wilderness/ to 2pac’s lips/
the hip-hop prophets/ got it/ and god told the world this/
