Knock

When opportunity knocked I had to stand up and come forward And run towards it From jump I didn't want more than Just to make it through that front door without fronting Just one tour, maybe one more Then suddenly The next opportunity knocked and said ‘open up’ One show If you're dope enough they’ll know what’s up And someone in the front row will notice ya and go home And download some stuff and then show it to the Next opportunity Soon you might have a platform Fans to rap for, stamps in your passport Some bank - some backboard Amped up - patch cord – I’m plugged in Eyes focused on that door The opportunity to give something, see it clear You need to be aware To seize it, to see it's there It might not reappear No need to fear, just one thing you need to hear That knock Now let it drop… I still hear that knock in my dreams (X3) That's why there’s no stopping my dreams Sundays I read the times on my iPhone Then sit down and read the times with my eyes closed I feel the winds chilling my bones Change is in the air and it's blowing like cyclones See was raised in the era where Jay said If you wanna feed the poor, you gotta make bread We forgot how to break bread And give thanks - Never give up giving, we'll stay fed Now that that day's dead, it's all team biz We need kings that serve and queens to lead this Less tuition, more each one teaches Chuuuch - less preachers, more Jesus Trust, I hear justice at the door knocking Saying the people need more options And I don't mean more coke cans or more soap brands ‘Cause more often than not The word "choice" just means more shopping And less for the boys on the floor stocking We got a lot less voice though there’s more talking The door's open on that lie now, we see through it Eyes closed – I read the times and I see music It's time for regrouping For less people trying to be somebody, more people trying to be human Before I leave the room I’m trying to keep doing Keep the door open so we can move in Let's go… I still hear that knock in my dreams (X3) That's why there’s no stopping my dreams
