Akira The Don
Too Sweet to Be Sour
[Hook]
Too sweet to be sour
Too nice to be mean
Trying to change the world
I'm going to plot and scheme
[Verse 1: Akira The Don]
Too sweet to be sour, too nice to be mean
Already changed the world, already changed the scene
The hurricane roared, the bird flapped flapped its wings
The Don made the songs that made the whole world sing
Peace to the Gods, one love, getting me here
A day unto a gun is as a 1000 years
A may say I lose a couple hours it's the same famous
Born in the middle of a shower, he only knows rain
So if you know love, then there's no pain
No light no shadow
And ain't nothing sweet when it's profane
No joy without sorrow
If life is just a dream I don't want to go to bed
But I'm prepared like the Tibetan Book of the Dead
To take whatever comes my way
At least whatever I can fathom
Godspeed to first born, MC Adam
[Hook]
Too sweet to be sour
Too nice to be mean
Trying to change the world
I'm going to plot and scheme
[Verse 2: Time]
Where the wild things are the boys are beastly
I flew over the cuckoo's nest with the pranksters and Kesey
Take me back to them summer nights when living was easy
You could be intergalactic, just speak up, believe me
Just last week I was in Paul's boutique
Looking down the barrel of a gun then I woke from my sleep
We used to rhyme and steal and listen to The Clash
We shoplifted to The Smiths then the economy crashed
Now I plot and scheme and manifest dreams
The jealous try to sabotage most snakes are green
No sleep till nirvana, no wake until death
But your immortal, your influence won't take a last breath
In a world gone mad full of war and cancer
It's just me and my boombox still looking for the answers
Don't apologize, live your life with no regrets
Be yourself, you can change the world FREE TIBET!
