Ares by The Natives Lyrics
[Intro]
So here we are, this is our music. Right, jazz is our music, black music. Now here's, people, we will go and watch them cross over (KENNY G), uh, stuff that's created by other people but we don't even come to see our own, man. Listen, but the jazz, you know if we had to depend upon black people to eat we would starve to death? I mean you been out there, you on the grandstand, you look out into the audience, what do you see? You see Japanese, West Germans, you see [?] you know, anything, you know except our people man, it makes no sense. It incenses me, that our people don't realize our own heritage, our own culture, this is our music. Why?
Everything you just said is-
Yo blake, out of all the people in the world, you never gave anybody else, and i love you like a step brother, but you never gave nobody else a chance to play their own music
The people don't come because you grandiose motherf- don't play the **** that they like, if you play the **** that they like, then the people will come. Simple as that. Like me that's what I'm gonna do. I don't know about you but that's what I'm gonna do
[Verse 1: Senay Kenfe]
No need to brag to humans, I already know my worth
I got frankincense and myrrh on the date of my birth
Search the seven seas on the side of Poseidon
[?], with the mane of the lion
You chasin' after women, losers sipping on the Fanta
I got the golden apple, won the heart of Atlanta
Y'all reading about these myths, that I made from Homer
Sooth said he never met a man that was more nobler
I gave man fire, got burned yell Prometheus
Now I'm on the hard road to home, whatup Ulyseus?
Droppin' to Palomedes, yeah I'm sharper than a razor
Born on the wrong day, now I got 12 labors
I'm like a young pan with the pipe
Making beautiful music whenever I
Blow on the mic, that's the life
Of a full worshipper I love Diana
Honey I shrunk the kids better get him a banana
Don't make any mistakes! I didn't come here to bring peace, I came to bring a sword!
[Verse 2]
Learn how to be a warrior from the Cenatar?
Love is a battlefield I got that from Benatar
Pat, Riley with the mint ??three up the 88??
We are date live by the ??threat of the ancient fates??
[?], always feeling restless
I'm having my way in the studio, with the vestless
Trust me, you don't wanna go to war with this young ares (aries?)
Sip inside, reside nice, nymphs and the fairies
Chewing on some berries
Please don't pomegranate
Mother's own daughter ruled the whole planet
Living in the forest, mad guys wanna baby
Now they on that boat, biz meeting uptown with Hades
Now I have to go the land of the lesser warrior
Who died in battle, get the devils in the west
I got your headphones, tell you how the story begins
Tell you the great myth of the native olympian
So here we are, this is our music. Right, jazz is our music, black music.
