Frank Mccomb

Even if it's jazz in the quiet storm
Bebop converted in a hip hop form
(Repeat)
Visions of a musical plateau
Thoughts fill my mind
So I draw back and take aim
Lyrical shots blast through the darkness
When I spark this
I leave an undescribable blood stain
Hold fast, no need to panic
There's no slipping or sliding to the other side
I know who I am
You know who you are
Leave it at that
As we go on a historical joy ride
No need for brakes
No need for gas
For now we're living in a brand-new era
As long as you're doin' it the way that you wanna
Just forget about those threats of terror
They're irrelevant
My element of rap goes back-to-back
With anyone who has doubts
That my rhyme skill
Helps minds build
While lines fill
and that's what it's all about
Well I'll be
Can you see what I see
Someone took it to a whole new level
and as I think
My mind's on the brink
Some consider me as a rebel
A rap devil
Controlled by society
The variety wants to see what I'll do to react
So, I ease the pain
Third eye lets it rain from the brain all over the track
So my cause is to find flaws and correct them
Dissect them
Fill me a note that I wrote
That clears and clean the throat
Final antidote
Reachin' in my bags of tricks
I need to fix
Gettin' ready for Armageddon
There's a villian in my adrenaline dressed in blood
And you never wanna let 'em see you sweating
What's you bettin'
'Cause the race is beginning to set
Gunshots let you know when to ride
Yippe kay yeah
Hopin' I say something that's wack
But I got just more than my pride
So, as I release
The mark of the beast is erased from the back of
my head
Can't bear the fact
Wanna come attack a man that's black
But I'm leaving all the negative fed
It's dead

Tell you 'bout the future
Of a heart that heals with time...
Still I see in you
Someone I once knew
Way back in the past
When my song had words
And the words were meant for you
Tell me when did our future end?
Now I see the truth staring out a window
At love gone astray
Running from herself
Trying to make believe
That it was just a dream
'Cause when love asks of you
More than you can give
You find a way to disappear
Don't you think it's strange
That love could make us strangers?
To be your friend
You ask too much of me
For now I need some time to be
Alone, yes alone
Isn't it strange to love alone
I know 'bout the future
Only time will tell
If you see in me
Someone you once know
A shadow in your life
Before your song had words
And your words will ring true
About love you left in the flames
Well when the smoke clears and I rise
You'll see pain deep in my eyes
But you won't see a tender heart afraid of breaking
The time for tears is yesterday
The time for my life is now
It's time to say
My heart will rise again
I will rise again

Black Monday
That's what this joint is all about
Black Monday
A million men strong without a doubt
Black Monday
It's not just a role that one plays
Black Monday
So we can have justice one day
Black Monday
Black, Black Monday
Hey Yo, B - I thougt we conquered the world
When a million men came and shined like a
black pearl
This time there was no black on black crime
'Cause everybody was thinkin' of ways that pays for
the black mind
One & equal
Not thinkin' of wealth
but knowledge of self
So the past won't repeat like a sequel
Visions of unity
Strong in the community
The same song sung for diplomatic immunity
Is soon to be reality
Not just a formality, an actuality
Built strong by our morality
Can you see what I can see
One force that be lettin' me be what I be
Without costing me members of my family tree
One man can stand for all
But who got his back when he fall
Yo, I had a dream that one day
One million men stood strong and we called it
Black Monday
Black Monday
Black Monday
Black, Black Monday
By now we all know that some wrongs have
been committed
So be wise, organize my man
Yo, you with it?
Let's have the courage to stand up and speak out
Reach out and help out
No doubt
See we can actually make a difference
The politicians got game, but I say who are
they kiddin'
Seriously, we gotta get our own thing tight
'Cause we ain't even learned
to treat our own peeps right
You don't have to be a scholar to acknowledge
You shouldn't harm your own just 'cause your
fiendin' for dollars
That's messed up, so fess up
It's good for the soul
Repent
Change your ways
Exhibit more self control
We must be willin' to stop the killin'
'Cause if not
We'll destroy what our forefathers were building
Step up
Do something
It's your duty and purpose
All the material pleasures ultimately are worthless
Curses
They are not needed to explain that
You will wreck your brain
If you do not maintain
Reconciliation, restoration and resolution
Atonement
Completion of perfect union
Black Monday
Chorus

'Tis love which makes the elephant forget
'Tis love which makes the elephant forget
Weary with toil, my soul seeks sweet repose
Yet far from home, no comfort is there to find
My mind at journey's end resumes command
To cast unshadowed doubt (one might suppose)
Our zealous pilgrimage fo sorts unkown
Varied states of enduring discontent
Lead my mind and soul to mortal clatter
Lo thus, my heart ascends the royal throne
And like the thief woh borrows not, but takes
The lover who invokes a jealous rage
With vulgar thoughts spoke venomous in tone
Creates a trembling air, which ultimately quakes
Forgive me not for harboring roguish ways
Not for crude language from a brutal tongue
'tis love which makes the elephant forget
So guilty am I, myself, love shan't acquit
