Poetry Roy Hargrovepresents The RH Factor |Hard Groove ,2003 Verve Composed by E.wright, Fareed, Hargrove ,Featuring Q-Tip, Erykah Badu & Meshell Ndegeocello
어느덧 길고긴 추석연휴의 막바지(라지만 아직 이틀이나 남았다!),
앞으로 남은 시간은 무얼 바라보며 지내나?..;라는 걱정이 조금씩 들기 시작하는... 이때쯤 들어주는 노래,
멋쟁이 트럼펫터 로이 하그로ㅂ와 역시 멋쟁이 랩퍼(아 '랩퍼'라고 쓰니
뭔가 MC.몽의 MC를 말하는 듯한 촌스러움이 느껴져 미안한 기분이 들지만;;;)
큐팁과 에리카와 미쉘 은디지오셀로의 멋진 조합
큐팁의 통통튀는 랩과 나긋나긋한 바두의 보컬과 하그로브의 연주가 너무너무 잘 어울리는 바로 이 곡,
에리카 바두와 로이 하그로브는 고딩 동창이었다고...
Hard groove, 2003(Lyrics)
QTip
Can you picture how a melody can stir into existance?
Rhythm section hits it and upholds it with persistanceyou start to see the colours
Filling in with intricate splashes by all the brothers
Michelle is on the joint, you mean Misindae Gayochello?
No wonder why the hump inside the joint is feeling ghettho
A medal or award should be giving to these heros for their
Empasis of revealing and bringing forth the feeling
I'm realing, poetic I say, a great proportion,
I hold my little nuances correct for this distortion.
But I say, why say? and who is to say, coz
Roy makes the tune what it is today.
Rhythmically, we in the slake of jeans, know what I mean?
Its only right that me and Mr Right we here from Queens
The overtone of funk is being driven by this music
Its the benevolence of Roy issued me this juris-provence
This beat, or rhymes hooded in the epitome
Im just a humble little germ, just a hipper version
Poetic I mean truly indeed her every steed
Just sprinkles with the essense of life to form my breed
Think about sweety while we give this to the needy
The musical expression is important for progression
Never stop learning lesson, and neither should y'all
Before we all stand, must acknowledge a fall
Before we get the bounce we got to reach for the ball
Before we ghettho strong we haf to get to a crawl
Check it out now, and dont you dare
Bobby Timmers did a joint called "That there"
Check it out now, and do your do
Ronny Foster did a joint called "Mr Brew"
Check it out now, its how we go
Check it out with my man Roy Hargrove - der der
Erykah
Hey (echoed)
Good evening ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to the Appletree Cafe
Its getting real cribable on stage
I dunno, I got my man QTip
Cut me a few dollars tip
I dont know how comes god doubted you
Sheeez, She willby, remember, completely
Blast the staff furniture, so
rip dip in the house & zip dip hahh
Whos knows the way to go?
Please show me the way to go
Whos knows the way to go?
Please show me the way to go
I know the way to go
I'll show you the way to go
I know the way to go
I'll show you the way to go
Whos knows the way to go?
Please show me the way to go
Whos knows the way to go?
Please show me the way to go
I know the way to go
I'll show you the way to go
I know the way to go
I'll show you the way to go
Brothers lost, my head is running veins
Where to go, and where is God
Sometimes I get real mad, but I understand
I dont beat myself up too much about it
I give us tears, does he mourn for it?
Or joy in return? Those tears bring joy
That is what perplexes, make the sweetness last
Coz we're mourning for the joy, their hard to find
Be happy where you can, no sadness necessary,
No, no, it seems sometimes, you never get in bed
but its ok, its fair, yeah, ooooh
Nowhere to look, you got me mysteries
Use the stars as a guide, trying not to hide
The love inside, you know, you if you get... you get
I feel, I'm not ready yet, but I meet myself halfway
And I'll start a day, creating what i'm.. living
Living for today, coz I'm ok, its ok
Whos knows the way to go?
Please show me the way to go
Whos knows the way to go?
Please show me the way to go
I know the way to go
I'll show you the way to go
I know the way to go
I'll show you the way to go
Whos knows the way to go?
Please show me the way to go
Whos knows the way to go?
Please show me the way to go
I know the way to go
I'll show you the way to go.
