tribal knowledge - eli cash lyrics

coming live from the bomb shelter underground
relics from the year it all came tumbling down
hoping the next planet is better than what we found
in this dystopian present below the clouds
how can i get through to these clones
who never look up, they’re too glued to their phones
got friends on the web, offline they’re alone
heavily medicated, living life as a drone (in a zone)
you’ve gotta have hobbies to keep sanity
it’s why i’m still rapping, not for money, not for vanity
music can ignite a movement quick as lighter fluid
time to show and prove, so when i do it put my soul into it

i just happen to rap, i’m not trying to get rich
i want freedom of self, not dollars and cents

i’m a thirty-some year old, bald, white hero
they forgot flow is still hot like creole
i know a few cats tried to jack my steelo
i caught ‘em red-handed like some flaming hot cheetos
most of these rappers only speak on their libidos
and money when they should know it’s the root of all evil
but, me, i’ve got the tribal knowledge they don’t teach in college
i’m not gonna be silent with the vision of the deepest scholars
the hydroponics gotcha walking like you’re on hydraulics
nodding to hypnotic rock, and coddling a vodka tonic
i’ve got it, i’m not the average emcee
but they oughta know better than to bet against me

i just happen to rap, i’m not trying to get rich
i want freedom of self, not dollars and cents

while these rappers are motor-boatin’
i’d rather be edward snowden
and putting fear in opponents
they’re chasing but in slow motion
my visions are still as potent
as dope that you must been smokin
if you ever think i’m chokin
this isn’t just ego stroking
the goal is longevity, leavin some kind of legacy
kennedy type pedigree
pettily peddle jealousy
melody quite heavenly
holdin it down credibly
mentally, like telepathy, bringin these rap remedies
i’ll never be getting on a track accidentally
dissin’ me’s like a felony, pay the penalty
it’s not a show for me, it’s a necessity
i’m breathing poetry to free my soul, cue the elegy

i just happen to rap, i’m not tryin to get rich
i want freedom of self, not dollars and cents
