Links

[Verse 1]
Link for link not linked to herringbone but
Links between people sharing homes and food they've grown
Names well known
Ideas in their domes
All that connects and lets us know we ain't alone
Shown the way by the old and gray
Stay connected by the influence of those that passed away
Fray at the seams
Fade like dreams
Made the team, paid still stayed underground like SKEME
Making dents in a system that ain't making sense
We represent and wind up past tense
Beyond frustrated, jaded, mad and upset but it's the links that keep us in check and it goes

[Hook]
Sister, brother, friend, lover, grandmother
Everybody that you've ever known
I don't click the link
I link the clique
I think the trick is to see ourselves as people…

[Verse 2]
Link for link but not online
The type of bond that's strong enough to make a player pawn shine to buy food for the little one that needs him
Knowing, one day, that may be the seed that feeds him
Breathing the same air that the whole world shares
Fair better than the weather when the ozone tears
Stare at the son
Stand among your younger ones and trust the links to always keep them there
Link for link not what you think but what you feel
Instinctive ways beyond the phrase of "keep it real"
Signed and sealed on common ground the links reveal
I think the trick is to see myself as people

[Hook]
Sister, brother, friend, lover, grandmother
Everybody that you've ever known
I don't click the link
I link the clique
I think the trick is to see ourselves as people…
