Sum Of Us Lyrics - Power In Numbers - Jurassic 5

[Chali 2na] 

Sparklin' extreme spinnage 

Watchin' your scene plumett 

If lyrics were green vomit 

My vocals would clean stomachs 

Addicts wean from it 

Where dreams and green run it 

The faces on money change like the host on Teen Sumit 

I'm close to being done with this industry's cream driven 

Supreme livin', seein' more demons than Gene Simmons 

And mean fibbin' actors be adlibbin' 

Fakin' the funk and some of us naturally had rhythm 

Some of us act like they had women 

Gats in the abdomen back when the fact is them cats 

They didn't have nuttin 

For certain I'm sure it's fiction but for some 

The purest diction 

Insures their jurisdiction 

I'm kicking it up a level trying to stay in the red 

Some stay in the bed, zombie 

Like the Day of the Dead 

With decay in the head 

Playin' instead of stayin' ahead 

Steadily portrayin' celebs, delayin' the inevitable 

When some come round 

They run down when they touch ground 

They climb up the structures unsound 

Some of you like the way my words caress tracks 

While some of these politicians secretly suppress facts 

Chorus: (2X) 

[Both] 

I'm sayin' through songs I write 

My wrongs I right 

If you wanna fight the power 

Get the power to fight 

'cause some of us judge without knowing the man's inner 

And some of us find fault in the sin and not the sinner 

[Akil] 

Influential ideas 

Push pressure on my peers 

That's why most of these brothers have short term careers 

You appear to be what's happenin' 

One a year you crackin' 

One hitter quitter now you missin' in action 

With no satisfaction from the streets 

I only hear foolishness when you speak 

I repeat, my predecessor's endeavor with pleasure 

Lock and load, explode and come better 

Hopin that generation X 

Be more wicked with the flex 

And not so quick to cash a check 

And disrespect, talkin' guns and sex 

Guns and death, but end up gettin' layed to rest 

At your request 

You're at the end of your line 

Out of your mind 

Idle women, weed and wine 

And shells for your nine 

The blind lead the blind 

Time after time 

When you rhyme for the shine 

Chorus (2X) 

[Chali 2na] 

Yo, I'm tellin' you to REBEL 

But dude, if you stale 

The 2na can tell 

Either you're comin' to the party or you truant as hell 

Politicians ain't got no problem puttin' you in the cell 

It's like we rolled up a snowball and threw it in hell 

See some of us are looted with mail and suited to swell 

But still blind like you're fluent in Braille 

[Akil] 

Yo, I never can tell uh, why some make it or fail 

Speak it and spell overcome and still prevail 

[Chali 2na] 

We ripple the water frequently 

Blink if we show delinquency, please 

Human frequencies 

Have been diseased, A breeze ain't what I'm feelin' 

Healin' is essential 

Mental aggrivation shows you what we've been through 

[Akil] 

Yo, sign of the times influence the way I rhyme, man 

Pick up a nine and put down your picket sign, man 

Your life is worth way more than just some diamonds 

Without bling I still gleam 

Glisten and shine, man 

Chorus (2X)
