Goodness Songtext
von New Breed

I can′t believe I get to do it again
That's why I write from the heart, no agenda, no pen
And I don′t mean to be smug, keep your mind open, '
Cause I don't wanna offend but this one here is a gem
You′re the nine to serve a ten, never blend into the background
Too much drive to back down, too many dreams to sleep
The word we must keep, you need to find more that′s good in
The midst of what seems bleak and let the bass guide your feet
If music makes the world go round, put your song on repeat
Who boogie making the beats?
Still breathing in the streets
5-4 Forever, be nine is concrete
We breathe fire every time, it's new heat
Breaking up the code and shaking up the cold-hearted
All those too jaded to see where it all started
Thinking they too hood to have goodness now imparted
Throw your hands up, it′s a new day
Trust the red letter, not what your crew say
Man, it's all right
And even if it′s all wrong, this song is


Bumping through your blocks all night
Throw your hands up, it's a new day
Trust the red letter, not what your crew say
Man, it′s all good
And even when it's all bad, live life
With mics, man, it's all we have
Oh my goodness, you telling me this life is too raw?
And I′d agree with you if I saw what you saw
But I seen my fair share of mayhem and massacre
I seen a pastor manipulate his congregation
For their entire life savings
I seen my uncle bumming the streets due to his heroin craving
I see my people slave for that minimum wage and
We only make the front page for misbehaving
But every time I look into my niece′s
Eyes, I see the future, know the truth
I release the lies
And with each sunrise that arrives, I'm doing
More than surviving, striving to rep the 5-4
′Cause I've been given life and like more
It came to heaven and hell, I chose Christ′s door
That's what my mic′s for
It's the gift that brings riches to
The poor, introduction to the Lord
Throw your hands up, it's a new day
Trust the red letter, not what your crew say
Man, it′s all right
And even if it′s all wrong, this song is
Bumping through your blocks all night
Throw your hands up, it's a new day
Trust the red letter, not what your crew say
Man, it′s all good
And even when it's all bad, live life
With mics, man, it′s all we have
I got five little fingers holding onto mine
And then ten little toes dancing to my rhymes
The timing being off make it all that more divine
Pouring out my sunshine from her big brown eyes
She my reason why her smile light up the sky
Picture of perfection, not to see it I'd be blind
God′s biggest blessing, the privilege blows my mind
This joy's beyond good, it's pure outta spine
From the City of Lost Angels to Boston
Not everybody in hip hop is flossing
I know you gotta eat but proceed with caution, ′cause often I′m
Lost in thought when I ponder the path that my people crossing
And I don't preach the fire and brimstone, ain′t
The judge and jury, life or death, I can't sentence
I can′t sentence
I just teach the love that I've been shown
And only the goodness of God leads to repentance
Throw your hands up, it′s a new day
Trust the red letter, not what your crew say
Man, it's all right
And even if it's all wrong, this song is
Bumping through your blocks all night
Throw your hands up, it′s a new day
Trust the red letter, not what your crew say
Man, it′s all good
And even when it's all bad, live life
With mics, man, it′s all we have
Throw your hands up, it's a new day
Trust the red letter, not what your crew say
Man, it′s all right
And even if it's all wrong, this song is
Bumping through your blocks all night
Throw your hands up, it′s a new day
Trust the red letter, not what your crew say
Man, it's all good
And even when it's all bad, live life
With mics, man, it′s all we have
