Say Lyrics - Hip Hop And The World We Live In - Aceyalone

[uncredited spoken word poet forms the song's intro] 

There was a curious secretive streak in the man, 

which led to many dramatic effects - but left even his 

closest friends guessing as to what his exact plans might be. 

He pushed to an extreme, the axiom that the only safe plotter 

was he who plotted alone. I was nearer him than anyone else, 

and yet I always conscious of the gap between. 

[Aceyalone] 

Say mayne, let me rap to you for a minute 

Say.. yeah, yea you - ay mayne, say you! 

Say! Say mayne! Say mayne! 

Say mayne let me rap to you for a minute 

Yeah I gotta holla at you, yeah 

Say what? 

The QUESTION is how could a man like me 

Actually, a man that's free 

Of speech and the ability to reach, the masses 

Never not, know what to say I know how brainwaves operate 

Consistantly and our ideas, FUEL our existence 

See if you can see if you can see if my resistance 

Against this oppressor, a passive aggressor 

Master professor, with every chance I get 

To, lure some sleepin people out the pit 

One, foot in the grave the other, foot in some shit 

Yo time waits for no man, especially not you 

Get yo' murk, this'll be yo' very first clue when 

WORDS, fail and actions take over you will see 

that them are no more you can take away freedom outcome 

THERE I WAS, in between my freedom and a slug 

When they, pull the plug 

I'ma walk through the light that's ahead of me 

Could've been, ANYONE instead of me so live and let it be 

Spoken like they said it to me 

Yo, say what's on yo' mind nigga, let the people see 

SOME speaker's on the podium, hit you with the sodium 

Go up in equipped without petroleum 

But I'm a +Project Blowedian+ 

More complex than your Napolean 

Okay, Double-A, never runnin out of things to 

[Chorus] 

SAY, whatchu want to SAY 

And watch what people SAY, about what you SAY 

Just SAY, whatchu want to SAY 

And watch what people SAY, about what you SAY 

SAY, whatchu want to SAY 

And watch what people SAY, about what you SAY 

Just SAY, whatchu want to SAY 

And watch what people SAY, about what you SAY 

[Aceyalone] 

The QUESTION is how could a guy like me 

Actually, a mighty MC with the eye of a bee 

Conditioned to the same ol' conditionin 

Position in mid-air, limbo 

Once upon a time I didn't care but 

Now it's not that simple 

Maybe I, should refrain 

And let the unimaginative, non-creative ones give me some brains 

Give me some brains 

SAY! Maybe I should rename the talk 

Run a lap with my trap while you backslide in the dark 

My choppers, OH my choppers 

Get me out of the worst work, blade choppers 

Save the hoppers, boppers 

Disballoon bar not a popper stopper 

Feel the dreams cash cropper copper steel wool 

Still pull chords 

Wrestled with these bullhorns 

With both arms, 'til they all submit 

Put the mic on be -LAST and let me say some shit 

[Chorus] 

[Aceyalone] 

Never runnin out of things to say.. 

Never runnin out of things to say, say, say mayne 

Say mayne! why-yeah, ay mayne, SAY! 

Let me holla atchu 

Say mayne, yeah you, say 

Say what? What? 

Say, say what say what? 

Say what? Say what? 

Say why? Yeah 

Say when, aight when
