ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT - VIBE (ft. Big Daddy Kane, Cleveland P Jones & Tasha LaRae) Prod. by: Configa

Yeah, my man Ralph from France from Paris said

We're not just fans man

We're not fanatics

We just love the music

We want be close to it

We're attracted to it

That really hit me

Yo

I know it's way more than fandom

When we see our fans dancing

We ain't just attractive at random

It's not just our popular anthems

Nah, our money ain't tall

Our songs ain't dark

And our checks ain't handsome

Yet, for 30 years sold out France and

London and Japan and had fans

Shed a tear when they can shake my hand

Here I stand

With a stance still advancing

Some artists from Atlanta

Has painted all over hip hop's canvas 

So Rollingstone owes y'all some answers

In 93 they called us band of the year

But look it here in 2022

They abandon us

No surprise though

No Egypt in em but denial

We got no mirrors no smoke

What we reflect has never been a joke

Stereotype or trope

And we don't snort no coke

We don't bag up no dope

I know that gets less promo

So

Everyday we rock

And everyday we rise

Hip-Hop saves lives baby

Hip-Hop saves lives

Yo

You know I had to do this album just to prove something

I couldn't retire the fans inspired

When I land inside the muck and the mire

I turn a 180 from hells fire

And told the devil

hey man F your desires

He flees from truth

I'm freed from the sins of my youth

The devils a liar

I'm a beacon of light

A Deacon, a knight

A thief in the night

Cut loose the noose I'm seeking a fight

From being strange fruit he can bite

Leave the scene with new seeds that breed better roots
