lirik lagu the talented tenth – blueprint
[intro: sample]
and now it’s time for new horizons in music appreciation
different approaches to the problem of popularizing the 19th century cl-ssics
[verse 1]
yeah
huh
right
so many questioned why the [automate?] had to change
cause i evolved while other artists stayed the same
much respect to all the pioneers who paved the way
but if i want what they got
i got to make something great
i don’t believe that any man has all the truths
cause consciousness changes as man discovers more proof
you’re not a student ’til you put that little fact to use
nothing scientific
the spiritual is absolute
a student approaches a master with humility
sits in silence and at his feet willingly
a master gets mad and tells him to hit the streets
you won’t learn a thing if you’re busy sitting here with me
arm chair quarterbacks and backseat drivers
struggle to describe things that haven’t come across their eyelids
but i can tell you ’bout the road because i did the drive
you’ll never know the latest issues if you don’t subscribe
i’m well armed in an information firefight
who needs conspiracies
it’s all hidden in plain sight
i hit the library and barely go out at night
cause man without right knowledge shouldn’t be allowed to write
my name is blueprint
thanks for your consideration
i know i’m privileged to have a voice inside this nation
i’m trying to be the voice of my entire generation
not just the smartest slave on the plantation
i live my life inside the grey between black and white
the darkest days have never stopped me from shining bright
we’re all human
but when i have a sh-tty day i think of how my pops told me to dunk it on that breakaway
you got one shot
it shouldn’t be a fade-away
fight for your art or drown in the day to day
if you ain’t got it then admit
walk away today
the truth set you free but it cuts like a razor blade
but they rather bathe in their own delusions
reject the rejections and come up with they own conclusions
put record after record out with no improvement
then claim that all the haters stopped the [upward?] movement
you can’t be a has been if you ain’t never tried
self sabotage ain’t the same as when you get denied
the idea of being honest got you terrified
your so called hustle’s never been verified
lover’s of the status quo get terrorized
point blank i’m here to throw salt in your think tank
dumb rapper’s thought patterns seem archaic
the how and the what but why never gets debated
what do you do when you can’t stop your brain from thinking
drown a thirst for knowledge with a heavy dose of drinking
spend a 100 grand on furthering your education
or find a higher consciousness by seeking information
the way you answer that shows what you’re made of
be [proof?] it’s americana so maybe be something greater
i’m here to push it to the fullest extent
my destination is to sit among the talented tenth
let’s go!
