Hidden Emotions

Hidden emotions, you and I control it

Don't get pissed cause this is how we show it

Hidden emotions, you and I control it

Don't get pissed cause this is how we show it

[Grym Reaper (Gatekeeper)]

Like the older you get the more you regret

(YaknowI'msayin, wanna know what we like?)

Do the knowledge, do the knowledge of this

Check it, yo

[Grym Reaper]

Ever watch a hard rock when he got a seed?

Turn a whole hundred and eighty degrees

The nigga that you never saw smile before

It's like the warrior at peace with the child at your door

It's mad wild how he holds the mold

It's so fragile knowin that this little soul is agile

Meanwhile deep in his thoughts

Is how do I protect it from the streets and the courts

There's stress and strain tryin to maintain

When you're poor workin odd jobs for small change

You either rap, rob, girls slob knobs

And niggas sell crack, weed or coke for the mob

[Gatekeeper]

The Al Corleone idol was his mentor, gangster

That came up short

You're needin dentures

Built his rep for killin Aztecs in distortion

Front page news for the projects

Carried the weight for his mom's operation

25 years workin for the train station

Cause he was black the community reacts

Summer tricks, picnic for kids, he gave it back

He ain't accept it, grinned and helped the church, clear his debit

Wind up helpin young brothers makin records

When the people lookin at cha from the outside

Open your mouth wide and say "Aiiight!"

Hidden emotions, you and I control it

Don't get pissed cause this is how we show it

Hidden emotions, you and I control it

Don't get pissed cause this is how we show it

[Gatekeeper]

People wonder why when my man died

I didn't even cry

Melted on the inside

Now I'm becomin like a runner

Sweatin like a plumber

My heart started poundin like thunder

Yo am I ready for revenge that depends

On how my future look in the bends

Is my life worth losin

My seed, my wife

Gettin my life snatched for makin wrong right

[Grym Reaper]

I was always on the calm tip

Last brother to harm or bomb shit

Now I'm on some real Vietnam shit

The quiet storm til the riot is on

I despise doin harm but my foes gotta be conquered

As I warn my peeps "Beware the beast that creep the streets"

Spillin your plasma on the concrete

Killin the murderer, acts of war

Villains attack the poor

Women and children pack heat now

Growin up I was sad young buck

Dad said "Son look don't become corrupt"

I knew he really meant well

To see me represent and excel

But yo the torments of hell lay dormant until

I try to escape out of the muck and the mire

Nearly got killed bein stuck in the fire

Like Jeremiah

I weep for my peeps gettin bucked from the streets to the choir

Hidden emotions, you and I control it

Don't get pissed cause this is how we show it

Hidden emotions, you and I control it

Don't get pissed cause this is how we show it

Hidden emotions, you and I control it

Don't get pissed cause this is how we show it

Hidden emotions, you and I control it

Don't get pissed cause this is how we show it

[Truemaster]

I'm lettin mines out

I can see through I can see through

Who you want me to believe you are?

Front shine and son knowin you're a fallen star

I see the look in your eyes when I pass you in my car

I been felt the vibe so I played you from afar

Your problem is you think too negative

It perpetuates your condition and cuts short your ambition

You're not a wicked one son

You need development

Don't worry when things are irrelevant

You need to let it out cause it could cause you bad health

Hidin your emotions could rob you from yourself

(Gravediggaz) Hide you from yourself

Hidden emotions, you and I control it

Don't get pissed cause this is how we show it

Hidden emotions, you and I control it

Don't get pissed cause this is how we show it

Hidden emotions, you and I control it

Don't get pissed cause this is how we show it

Hidden emotions, you and I control it

Don't get pissed cause this is how we show it

[Grym Reaper (Gatekeeper)]

Yeah

The older you get the more you regret

(Just let it out

If you can heed it, the only way to defeat it)

Hidden emotions, hidden emotions

(Is to let out what's hidden)

We all got em

Gotta let em shine
