Bacchus
The Fly
I hear you speaking,
You talking about neglect.
What is that you say?
?isn?t that a Mir??
a Mir is a just a station falling down,
a thousand pieces to the ground?
Mirrors on the other hand,
They reflect!
?What you give is what you get?
if you?re talking ?bout the rhyme,
my poetry is ?bout respect.
So cut me a slice of that
Sugar cane pie;
I?m about to get Me some of that.
I thought it was all about
Protection, not rejection
From the start;
Now they?re telling me I?ve got
To rape the camel for some wine,
A crucifix and candlestick
Be all I need,
For when it comes to
Starting up the fire,
My baby?s got the fuel!
Now the entire jewel
Collection in your
Textbooks and yearbook
Reflections ain?t never
Gonna clear that?
I bet you hold the flame
Up to the page
Every time you' gets the rage,
I bet the only one to ever take
You up on all that?s
Just been said
Would be the one who taught
The seekers how to speak;
He be the same who
Asked you for some sympathy,
When all you saw was lunacy.
Now YOU know exactly who
I mean, repeat?
noW some of these here you've heard before, but i guess that is what happens when Hungry
thieves just happen to get the Best of you...

Verse Two: KRS-One
Cause don't nobody care about us, all they do is doubt us
Until we blow the spot then they all wanna crowd us
and wanna shout us, but you my man from way back
I just gots to say that, actin large I don't play that
But I can't say that, where I play at isn't fast-paced
A friend can acquire the taste to become two-faced
And that's a disgrace there ain't nothing you can say to us
When the kid you grew up with betrays your trust
When we used to ride the bus we had trust
Now we cash checks and drive Lex, and can't show respect to one of us
Yo the heads I hang with ain't tryin to just get
what they can get, sit quickly backstabbin the click
I roll thick, but only some are friends really
down to the end, my right hand men and women
Mutual support, from the beginning
Been in, exactly what I've been in
You talking about neglect.
What is that you say?
?isn?t that a Mir??

a thousand pieces to the ground?
