It’s Gonna Last Lyrics by The UMC’s

Fruits of Nature

1991

[Hook]
[Verse 1]
Let this truly be the biggest issue of the year
It goes [something like this] to those
Alive in the vicinity, come analyze the trinity
I Haas G, the Kool and me, and here we are concluding the
Hypothesis, the guesses, the questions of my essence
Existing in what form, form of a man in the physical
And though my mental is so visible
[?] parlez vous francais?
Oui oui, oui oui
Sure enough, we are...
But now you know my smarts is aparts of my crew
Graduated school, my rank in society is stable
And somewhat likened to the fable
Of Jack and the Beanstalk, platter up I'll be proceeding
To claim my golden riches that I'm needing (Yes, I need it)
With morals and all that, even a trade for me all to fall back on
Until then, I'll be the man of the hour
Living off my soul power
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
I let old acquaintance be forgot
I got a spot on stage, I make a crowd hot
It took me four long years to get where I have got
I fortify myself well so come and take a shot
I surround myself with protons, for positivity
Electrons I stay far from, 'cause negativity
Tends to detract from my personal pastime
Why drink a 40 when I should be up just writing rhymes?
Need no narcotics I been flying high naturally
Nobody fucks like Kool and me
Watch me ease on down, ease on down the road of strife
Two kids [?] make for a good life
I read the prophecy so I can profit
Responsibly I drop it
Or rather or I say manifest [?] drop it [?] stop it
I keep on moving like the hands of the clock
Persistence is the movement mechanism or tick-tock
My goals are every number on the clock that fits
And Kim becomes successful when the stroke of 12 hits
It's 12 o'clock now
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
So many mental abrasions, contusions, frustrations, abusin'
No use to speak [?] 'cause the facts are too confusing
Justice as in the common thought, men and women seem to sports
Images that's in distort, so this is why I don't get thought
I dock my ship on this port of rationality
Emotions are primarily used to speak dramatically
Shown by one like me, who sees in great clarity
(Ha ha ha ha) jokes are for hilarity
I call myself [?] but [?] stress that I'm equipped
With unlimited potential to replace those who have slipped
Let's take you to the next plateau, to peak back and retro
Mount up and count up, let's see how much more to go
If life is the Olympics I'll be going for the gold
Years from now I'll have the greatest story ever told
And when I'm gone from the world, it's me they will remember
And celebrate my birth like Christmas in December
[Hook]
Now, what about the way I speak my mind? (It's gonna last)
About the way I keep it doin' times? (It's gonna last)
About the way in which you hear me rap? (It's gonna last)
And what about the songs in which you clap? (It's gonna last)
So relevant to this (yes) the moral deep down in your guts
It should be the stuff that leads you to the front
So there, oh yeah, and here, we swear
If you ain't got it then you're left in the rear
Behind (oh my) it's time, to find
The UMC 'cause at this particular time...
[Hook]
