4000 Miles Lyrics


J5 Blackalicious
Yo, we take a journey through music right now
We take a journey through music right nowYo, when music temptations can't be resisted
Fifths will be unconsistent make me a misfit
Listed as a phenomenon I got an oncoming bomb
Which is perfection and flexin' like I spent time in NamThe beat is on and its nice an easy
Instrumentals blendin' like cinnamon rice and peas
And lives a breeze when you don't have to kick it to find
Contemplate the creation with blackalicious and ITuna fish is for a musical infant hes past gone
Tryin' to hold fast and grasp hits like last fall
So last long flash on keepin' the past strong
We grab songs and rhythm so people can catch on, yesMy mic honor 'cause my momma I twiced promised her
Love life if music is truly your wife honor
Her burnin' to your thermometer stretch a million kilomteres
Connect a population at birth to one another for realMusic, deliver from within and it covers up everything
Music, when the melody and rhythm get the moving an unity
Movin' one force one love one whole community
Do it, keep travelin' on, keep travelin' onUnderground or overboard overload oh my, Lord

More remore pure sonic over joy sworn for shorts
Unseen aquatic 'bout to get explored
Warriors breakin' all the limits twistin' the lawsNow who said that underground is only just one more
I'm selling time and space and matter makin'
Hula-hoops of saturns singsAnd bring my thing and sink to think
That these was meant to be writ if these spits will ever be writ
We on some destiny we just a piece of this
We often testament on every cultural elementEver sent to us by the ancestors as though we manifest it
Some new world pedestrians
Just lounging with some fishin' poles up on the moons crescent
Just tryin' to make some history spittin' on a few recordsI had a dream like martin Luther king in adolescence
And now I'm out in Tokyo and Europe havin' sessions
The final destination used to be my main question
But then I looked and all that I was searchin' for was presentThe final destination used to be my main question
But then I looked and all that I was searchin' for was present
And now I'm out and, out on and on the road we play
Soundin' off like army ho replay
Talkin' bout walkin' miles of roads he paved
Travel out droppin' bombs with no delayAnd now I'm out and out on and on the road we play
(Music, deliver from within and it covers up everything)
Soundin' off like army ho replay
Talkin' 'bout walkin' miles of roads he paved
(Music, when the melody and rhythm get the moving an unity)
Travel out droppin' bombs with no delay
(Movin', one God one love one whole community)
(Do it, keep travelin', on keep travelin' on)Now see we rock around the clock we don't stop for nothin'
Gonna take it to the top, go non stop, go no frontin'
People listen when it drops 'cause it speaks to something
In they souls when they all alone spacing in the zoneOr walking they block, talking to they homey at the shop
See the point is this, even if the homey got the shot
Then there still be the bump knockin' in your trunk
Get ya out your slump rockin' it straight off the topI'm cockin' it like ingredients thrown hap-hazardly inside a crock pot
With a magic sock schnapps a big ass book and some vodka
And pass it my way 'cause I'm a real big talker
And I love new experiences I'm the godfatherOf gettin' into to trouble on the road undercover shit
Take your whole crowd if you leave 'em uncovered
And I believe even hammer would say my shits proper work
Not to put a damper on the underground answer shitYou dealin' wit motherfuckas not underground anthem thugs
Rock from the west coast damn near the Athens
And you still hate a whack song as much as the next man
And still in love with the good oneWe interact with listeners this is our contribution on the war against
The whiteness is likeness a constitution of fatness
Blackalicious jurassic more lytyrical madness
Your mind is captured with tactics to get you back to the fatnessAnd you still want to battle just how long does this last?
We have the fashion to classic the pure love satisfaction
Is when the magic is captured live-action ain't tangible withMusic, deliver from within and it covers up everything
Music, when the melody and rhythm get the moving an unity
Movin', one God one love one whole community
Do it, keep travelin' on, keep travelin' onWe take a journey through music right now
We take a journey through music right now
We take a journey through music right now
We take a journey

Gift Of Gab (Tim Parker) and Chief Xcel (Xavier Mosley) met at John F. Kennedy High School in 1987 in Sacramento, California and formed the group in the early 1990s. They released their first recording, "Swan Lake", on solesides records. The Solesides Crew consisted of the duo, as well as other friends of theirs they had met at University of California - Davis, including DJ Shadow, Lyrics Born and Lateef The Truth Speaker. The single was an underground hit, but label trouble prevented the duo from immediately capitalizing on their fame.

In late 1997, Solesides became quannum projects and in 1999 Blackalicious released the A2G EP, which served as a precursor to their debut full length album, Nia, which was released the following year. This was followed by a major label contract with MCA Records and the release of the critically acclaimed album Blazing Arrow in 2002.

In May 2004 Gift of Gab released his first solo album, 4th Dimensional Rocketships Going Up, but he assured fans that Blackalicious was alive and well.

A third full length, entitled The Craft, was released on Epitaph Records imprint ANTI- on September 27, 2005.
