Pops Rap Iii... All My Children Lyrics - Common

Hey, hey old bean and you to baby sweetness 

Yeah, this is Pops, and I'm back in the studio 

And I didn't have to break in this time 

I'm back as a special guest by special request 

And I want to thank my son for loaning me this microphone once again 

They may have to wrestle to get it back 

You know, as a result of my son common touring the world 

Pops has acquired a wonderful extended family from around the globe 

He has returned with positive messages to my earlobes 

From all my children From Mexico, Brazil, Italy, Japan 

And of course in the motherland 

Even in the orient, they know what I meant 

Nanaan, tanaan, tinaan, hanchinaan 

So I didn't come in here to give any shouts out 

I came to give praise and honor and to identify my children 

Who've been saying and doing the right things

You know they sat on those nines of 1999 

And kept them from turning upside down 

And teaching the babies to love, to be able to give love 

And to enter the new century with their own prophecy 

The century of amends 

You see I deal with the premise that all children are ours 

And that we all travel the same path 

It's just that we don't get there at the same time 

See you next lifetime, see you next lifetime 

And to my children running around here 

Talking about how nice is they ice 

That they've already paid for twice 

What karat is they gold 

That was yours before you were done in the hole 

Or that crew from 1629, buy some land 

Think agriculture, beat that neighborhood 

Photos 

Which you claim you love so dear 

Are you mankind or what kind of a man? 

See, Pops is straight out of the garden 

From when the world was starting brand new 

Hip-hop, hip-hop, the language of the underground railroad 

In it's purest form 

Yeah true hip-hop is just like the underground railroad 

If the message is not for you 

It can sit on your nose and your brain remain froze 

So when you see me traveling on a spiritual high 

I'm flying high with Cee-Lo 

Or maybe watching my long's heart dancing to a De La flow 

Everybody knows there's no fruit on the tree without the roots 

And Black Star said we are what we are 

The Knowledge Of Self Determination and my little homie KG 

Up there in Minnesota milking 10, 000 lakes 

Keep the heat on em', we got to be kind to the growing mind 

So if your heart is real 

You will hear Big Will and Ms. Lauryn Hill 

If your love is true, you will hear Baduism 

And you can't go right until you go left 

And get some ingredients from the music chef Jazzy Jeff 

Children, I've traveled this globe, north to south, east to west 

And whenever my soul appears lost 

I turn to the musical stylings of a Tribe Called Quest 

Okay, we ready to get out of here 

We ready to take it home now 

Just so everybody knows 

When Pops get ready to say something good 

I mean when it's time for me to lay it on the wood 

And it ain't no time for no shecky, shecky 

That's when I call on a black girl named Betty 

Y'all looking for the only truth and it doesn't even exist 

I just come to give love and peace and honor to all my children
