Johnny Is Dead lyrics

Artist  : Q-tip 
Song : Johnny Is Dead



 Send "Johnny Is Dead" Ringtone to your Cell 

 (verse I)

Sometimes I phase out when I look
at the screen

And I think about my chance
for me to intervene

And its up to me to
bring back the hopeful

feeling in the music
that you can quote

not saying that I hate it


'cause yeah, I kinda dig it

But what
good is an ear if a Q-Tip isn't in it



So this year get in

and inform your
friend

your boy from the hood 

is on
that shit again



he's upped the
degrees

and dropped the mercury

to
splash on the mass

from low to
upperclass



and when the record
spins

it sometimes blows a wind

a
fickleness of fans

they sometimes hate
again



they always bring up Tribe by
me

could not survive, I mean

this is
my mans, I mean

this is my fams



and here's somethin' new

it's front row
for you

so don't misconstrue

its
tribal and true



my dudes who hustle
hard

will stop your repetoire

as long
as you can see

its you who's stayin'
free



'cause life is filled with
'cerns

keep pills and little burns

and shit, I'm fuckin' up I mean

I'm
trippin' out 



but still there is a
void

and people get annoyed

let's
focus on the feel

before we get a deal 

c'mon



(Chorus) 

Figuring life
can't be a thing

the wilderness is wild to
me

but you're not alone I see we're just
the same

figuring out where we should
be



Figuring life can't be a
thing

the wilderness is wild to me

but you're not alone I see we're just the
same



(verse II)

Moving while
we can

to put back on the street

let's take care of ours

and ensure we
eat



and opening in

they
critize the boys

without enmity

they
lose all the noise



they can't keep
us down

we're dominant and brown

and
those of other shades

they join our
parade



but wait, there's rain
ahead

like Brit and Kevin Fed

and
magazine debris

its shit you gotta see



I'm no diff'rent to you

I goes
through it too

I thumbs through the
page

I don't come of age



I'm
not a deity

I'm far from perfect see

I roll a tumbleweed

this's just a humble
seed



that i present to you

its
just a mr. groove

with words of harmony

and soon a melody



that speaks to
where we are

the door of hopes ajar

and soon we walkin' in

uplifted just to
say 

c'mon



Chorus 2x
