THE SOURCE (Ft. T3 & Illa J)

In the family of Hip Hop jewels of 5th Season, here is one coming from the USA. Fans of J Dilla and Slum Village since the first hour, La Fine Equipe pays its respects to its influences by inviting T3 and Illa J. Respectively member of Slum Village and brother of the legendary Detroit producer, these two MCs build a bridge between the eras and let their sharpened flows confuse our perception of time.

lyrics

The melodies you sing to me
They don’t come from the source
They don’t they don’t they don’t they don’t they do o o o nt

Lost integrity hollow music is tragedy,
Killing culture swarming vultures supreme agony
Image we planted the seeds it grew magically ,
Hands on I stand strong and form family
But how you feeling your team ,when you ain’t feeling self
The definition of soul it’s when the ripples felt,
The rivers is deep , niggas is sleep, leading the sheep
Constant decit , is not what we need
It’s like stand up or fall for anything ,
You got your mini me’s
Trying to get the cream in they skinny jeans
What a shitty scheme , did it for some hella streams
Invested is a message and lesson most with never read
I try to be the light , so you see the sight of sacrifice on this
Mic device a soldier and earn my stripes
That’s real ness you definitely feel this
So when I put my pen to pad I definitely kill it ah

The melodies you sing to me
They don’t come from the source
They don’t they don’t they don’t they don’t they do o o o nt
The lyrics that you read they don’t come from the soul
The soul
They don’t they don’t they don’t they don’t they do o o o nt

It used to be cool to be cool
Now its just cool to be a fool
So fuck it ima act like a fool
Pro wit it bring my tools
Soul wit it bringin my shoes
Rhythm wit it bringing my blues
Take off like king James from the baseline
Bring me dat bling babe
Dey Legalized trees babe"

I’m trying to tell you told you, what the old do
Cultivate flows on soul loops
Want give’em food for though call it Whole Foods
So the brand new can hold jewels with trues when they make moves
Game that stick 2 ribs but won’t blot you
The fake get expose ,we paid due
I get my Superman on , straight out the phone booth
I staying bullet proof frauds they can’t touch dude ,
It’s too much , must be instincts a rear breed,
l’ll succeed to fricassee these mcs
They turn a Ampitees cause y’all ain’t half of me ,
Savagely I react dramatically the travesty
What was you thinking the strategy
How could you doing to self for mere wealth let’s call it vanity you wasn’t ready for the real doe,
Without real soul , you need to get the boot with steel toe uh

The melodies you sing to me
They don’t come from the source
They don’t they don’t they don’t they don’t they do o o o nt
The lyrics that you read they don’t come from the soul
The soul
They don’t they don’t they don’t they don’t they do o o o nt

It used to be cool to be cool
Now its just cool to be a fool
So fuck it ima act like a fool
Pro wit it bring my tools
Soul wit it bringin my shoes
Rhythm wit it bringing my blues
Take off like king James from the baseline
Bring me dat bling babe
Dey Legalized trees babe"
