Who’s that with a super fly track?
Freedom Movement yo we down like that
Lemme hit ‘em, lemme hit with a fat
Dope bass line, a beat and a clap
Super fresh gear and a baseball cap
Leanin’ to the side like a gangster in fact
I might recognize game if you recognize back
Never leave home without packin’ a sack
Good buds, or should I say friends?
Yeah I gotta hustle for them dividends
I get the cash before I go spend
Never gonna get myself indebted again
I wanna live free from the mind pollution
Said it’s a Love Revolution – coming your way
(Yo yo yo my name is uh, MCAD. I’m here with my DJ OB1, and uh we speakin’ on behalf of the Freedom Movement – representin’ Peace, Love and Improvement, you know what I’m sayin’? And this goes out to all our people that know what’s up with what’s up, you feel me?)
For once we want some justice
For the snakes that’re livin’ amongst us
Who’ve learned to hide so very well
Everyone want their time to shine
You gotta get yours but I gotta get mine
Said I don’t eat beef and I don’t eat swine
How the fuck you think a brotha look so fine?
It’s conceit when you cross the line
But it’s good to feel good about your body and mind
‘Cuz they never really taught us true self-respect
But it’s on the individual to live like that
Say I don’t know why, why, why, why we would live like that
Say I don’t know why, why, why, why we still live like that
We’re ganna breathe, breathe from the soul
We’re gonna take this world back under control
We’re gonna live our own destiny
You could say it’s anarchy
But we, we know the truth
You tried to rob the future from our youth
And leave ‘em all this misery
But we breathe from the soul
As we transcend what you know
It’s the likes of which you’ve never seen
As we rise from the dust
We take back what we must
‘Cuz it’s time good people live out some of our dreams
Yo, yo – you know the cat tryin’ to get between you and that
Good thing you wanna manifest, dreams you wanna manifest
That was Bush for me
Yo, yo – you know the cat tryin’ to get between you and that
Good thing you wanna manifest, dreams you wanna manifest
That’s Obama for me
Yo, yo – you know the cats tryin’ to get between you and that
Good thing you wanna manifest, dreams you wanna manifest
That’s the government, see
Yo, yo – you know them cats tryin’ to get between you and that
Good thing you wanna manifest, dreams you wanna manifest
That is no good, see
Ya know, we just uh fixin’ to flip the script one time
And take back nothin’ that wasn’t already mine
And we’re not askin’ for anything more than our guarantee from the beginning
My life, my liberty, and the pursuit of my own happiness, ya dig?

Y’all wanna get down with me, say

We ready for the revolution 2x
Ay yo move like a butterfly, sting like a killer bee
Proceed with caution if ya testin’ me
So if you silly suckas wanna check my rep and see
If there is any sorta frontin’ or discrepancy

I lay the tracks now, souljahs wanna get with me
Some cluckers back down, scared of what their best can be
I say ya better act now homies, rest in peace
(Chorus)
Yo, ya better ask somebody if you didn’t know
Ya better recognize that it ain’t all for show
I came to get the party people ready to go
Man, it ain’t about us only makin’ stacks of dough
It’s not what ya think kid, it’s what ya know
For every good thing it takes time to grow
It ain’t where you been it’s where you tryin’ to flow
So open up your mind, your body and soul
And let it shine, shine, shine – so free – feel me?
You know we workin’ for our rights now
Our natural god given rights now
And everything’ll be alright
If the people the people hold on tight
Come together and unite 2x
(Chorus)
Yo, ya better ask somebody if you didn’t know
Ya better recognize that it ain’t all for show
I came to get the party people ready to go
Man, it ain’t about us only makin’ stacks of dough
It’s not what ya think kid, it’s what ya know
For every good thing it takes time to grow
It ain’t where you been it’s where you tryin’ to flow
So open up your mind, your body and soul
(Say what, say what? For the Love Revolution, yeah)
Ay yo move like a butterfly, sting like a killer bee
Proceed with caution if ya testin’ me

Some cluckers back down, scared of what their best can be
I say ya better act now homies, rest in peace
Because ya never know when you will move on 4x

Never gon’ work that way no more…
I seen all our lives, steady workin’
Workin’ day and night, and some are hurtin’
Hurtin’ from the pressure
There’s so much pressure
For bills to stay alive, just to survive
Steady workin’ for a piece of the Earth and
People claimin’ turf when
When will we learn
Can’t buy peace with all the money you burnin’
It’s a matter of fact
That it helps to know first what you want to attract, and
Give it time to happen
And you will fulfill your dreams
And I know what it seems like
The road’s hard and dreams like
Memories they disappear – in time
In time you will find yourself – in time 3x
Never gon’ work that way no more
(Chorus)
All my people work, see you workin’
All my people work, I see you workin’
All my people work, they steady workin’
All my people work, straight steady workin’
Never gon’ work that way no more 4x
And now I go to work for my passion
I work hard for somethin’ that could last
And stand the test of time
Yo, it’s motivational rhyme for ya
I open up my heart and my mind for ya
So you can understand that I’m kind of uh…
Just a little confused
But ain’t no use in singin’ the blues
So I look at what I’m choosin’
Do I have more to gain or to lose
And would I ever put my name on this
If I couldn’t represent what I’m claimin’ is
Is the way that I live my life
I never said that I’m always nice
You wanna jump? Playa roll them dice
Ain’t been a minute since I had to get
Tricky with a work supervisor
Never givin’ love ‘cuz they thinkin’ they wiser
Always gotta get somethin’ goin’ on the side
A little somethin’ somethin’ for the mind…
A little somethin’ back you could say it’s compensation
Just a little somethin’ back for my time y’all
A little somethin’ back for my future inspiration
Just a little somethin’ back for my mind y’all
A little somethin’ back you could say it’s compensation
Just a little somethin’ back for my time y’all
A little somethin’ back for my future inspiration
Just a little somethin’ back for my mind y’all
Straight steady workin’ 4x

So good to see you again
Good to be near you my friend
I hope that you understand...
Still love you 4x
(They tried to take a brotha out, for real
They tried to play me for a fool, black)
Through you we find our way
Define what we won’t say
And the things we won’t do
Just to not be like you
Your violence and commotion
Our love and our devotion
Your hatred and your fears
And our blood sweat and tears
You’re constantly resistant
But love’s persistent
It’s so good to be back here with you
I got so much love for you, I do
I hope you feel it Shinin’ Through
Some of your darkness
Yo it’s universal magic
Two sides, it seems so tragic
One’s light and the other side’s dark
One’s together and the other seems apart
But connecting and creating perfect balance
There’s no way to be magnetically challenged
Yo it’s part of who we are quite naturally
I gave rebirth, you give atrophy
(You know what I’m sayin’? And that means I give life to things that wanna grow and you give them fertilization and nurture them with things that decompose and together we are so beautiful and intertwined and connected to one another for ever and ever and ever and eternity and then beyond forever after that. You know what I’m sayin’? Two polarizations attract - together as one, lovely and beautiful, together as one. We come together as one. Unification of both sides, we reside in something beautiful if you can feel that - I know I do.

My Sunshine

‘Cuz you’re my sunshine, yes you are
You’re my sunshine, shine your light on me
You’re my sunshine, yes you are
You shine so bright on me, yes you do
I feel the way that you live from your heart and it looks so beautiful
I feel so blessed to be here with you and I just wanna let you know
That we don’t have to spend all our time tryin’ to find
Somethin’ to talk about ‘cuz we can just be
Just you and me let me look into your eyes, it’s easier to see
When we sit here in silence, you know how the mind is
Let’s just sit here and feel to know the deal between you and me
Ey yo time is not an issue
Let’s connect here, deeper than the tissue
Of your skin, love deep within
The essence of what’s behind your grin
And I smile too
Straight up, every time that I see you
‘Cuz I see you as a queen
Concentrated light to a beam
So you brighten up the whole entire scene
(Chorus)
Right here in this moment, in this moment of time
I’m so glad to know you’re mine, mine, mine
‘Cuz you make me feel so good
I really wish I could make you understand
I’m so happy just to be your man, I am
So complete when I’m with you
I get bursts of confidence
I’m fillin’ up all my senses
With this love, love, love
Ey yo life - life is so beautiful
And it’s better when I spend it with you
It’s true the two of us - yeah - make a beautiful creation
The sensations that I get, let love see it pourin’ from my chest
I confess, swear to god your love is the best
It’s the only thing I need for the stress
(Chorus)
And you know how I feel - do you wanna be my lover?
Maybe one more time - do you wanna be my lover?
My baby, please - do you wanna be my lover?
Baby, please - do you wanna be my lover?
Baby one more time - do you wanna be my lover?
Maybe two more times - do you wanna be my lover?
‘Til the end of time - do you wanna be my lover?
‘Til the end of time
Yo love is the essence of life
So open this bottle and drink it
It’s the things that we focus our mind here upon
So bless us before we should think it
With love, love, love
Straight up we on that feel good vibe
Don’t it feel good to be alive
And show your love to the whole entire world
(Say what say? One time for your mind
And that’s a message of love, love
Two times for your mind
And that’s a message of love)

Don’t give up, I still believe
Said it before, some will deceive
Some don’t know what they call truth
Some don’t need what they call proof
Some say life is their perception
Some really have no direction
Some are gonna just float on by
Oh my, my, my
But I still don’t get how we got where we at
And we can’t get anywhere without knowin’
Where it is that you wanna be goin’
Though you don’t know why you just walk on by
As you walk on by don’t ask question
As you realize you’ve been with closed eyes
As you compromise your connections
So now I wanna intentionally connect with you 4x
Hold on now, tryin’ to make a long story short in a song now
If you really wanna go get along now
Maybe we should go right instead of wrong now
And I believe in change
Yesterday’s normal now seems strange
Yo, with a kung fu grip
Try to hold tight but you sometimes slip
Or maybe life’s just pullin’ away
Some things and you get no say
Or maybe fate’s at play
Tell me what are we gonna do
‘Cuz I feel like we can choose
If we win or if we lose
Takes more than just hoping, hoping for
Something just a little bit better than that 6x
...that right there...
Through contrast we become clear
On the things we wanna have here
As we choose our own direction
Please don’t forget about our connections
I can still have self autonomy
And respect all that’s surrounding me
In a balance with the boundaries that define our personalities
And though we are the same thing, energies engaging
Creating in space in time
I know it’s all quite confusing, how winning and losing
Could be just a state of mind
So now I wanna intentionally connect with you 4x
Yo fiah blazin’
Love purification for creation
And blessings upon the youth
May you know love and see the truth
And may your heart shine bright as the sun
And may you see all things as one
And know your worth in Earth’s community
Peace Love and Unity

I still sorta wonder what it mean to succeed
Wanna get the money but without the greed
Respect the set now 303
Colorado got the best damn trees
You know I’m probly never ever gonna leave
Got blessed here to plant my seed
And she reflect the best of me
And help me wanna do it better
And yo I never wanna fail but I know that it fits
If you gonna wanna walk then there’s ganna be trips
And it might be psychadelic from the way that I tell it
We oughta pack it up and sell it for the sake of the kids
What kids? The kids from the next generation
Those who represent the underground nation
Reconnect only good vibration, yo-yo, yo-yo
What kids? The kids from the next generation
Those who represent the underground nation
Reconnect only good vibration, for your body and soul
What is the value of you ever havin’ choice
If you do not have voice in the matter see
Yo it’s time to make yourself heard
Never underestimate the power of the word
And if you don’t believe in individuality
You just might be a casualty of mind control
It’s time to let yourself go
Respect what you already know
You know it’s just a matter of time before the people gon wise up
You know it’s only just a matter of time before we rise up
I can’t quite imagine not livin’ this life
It looks hard but feels nice
I wouldn’t give it up for no one else’s memories
And all this talk about our future
And what you’re thinkin’ might not suit ya
It’s better to make friends in life not enemies
If we could see there are commonalities
Connecting our realities
Maybe we can see there’s common ground to be found
So I think I’ma stay right here
Reflect love and reject the fear
I think my destination is Earthbound 3x

Separated
03:29
|
|||
|
A world divided
Takes a lot less to control than one United
It’s been some time since I’ve seen you all excited
Have you forgot why you even started fightin’
Is the life you chose to live 2x
Yo they want us livin’ so, so separated
And they got us livin’ so, so separated 2x
Baby don’t look over here - no, no, no, no
Baby don’t look over there - no, no, no, no
Baby don’t look anywhere - no, no, no
‘Cuz you might connect or maybe reconnect
Separated at birth
Do you know what you got? Do you know what you’re worth?
You better recognize! Family comes first
Much love, respect to the people of Earth
It’s an overwhelming destination at first
When it settles in you develop a thirst
Then it almost feels so good that it hurts
Can it be the only way reality it works?
My sunshine everyday is destined to go away
And all things come to an end
But new things always begin
Everybody wanna know the beginning
Although we’re scared of the ending
It’s how we keep it in check
And every now and we cycle around
Information is found then we come correct
All things separated 4x
Two sides of the same
Maybe some people call it yin and yang
It’s like black and white, baby ain’t no thing
It’s like you either don’t or you do cocaine
It’s why we separate the heart from the brain
And sunshine from the days that it’s raining
And polar opposite is what I’m claimin’
All parts of that with no name and
All things separated 2x
(Chorus)
And they want us livin’ so, so separated
Yo they got us livin’ so, so separated 2x

Hold Up
03:07

|
Yo this goes out to those real gangstas
Those pseudo-institutional gangstas
Gangstas like Fannie May and Freddy Mack, yo
Hold up! Stop what you’re tryin’ to do
You’re takin’ all our homes 4x
Mortgage lending, IRS sending
Notification of your whole life ending
Like that yo was out there fending
For your life like you was depending
On a miracle. Stop pretending
We ain’t got no cash for spending
They’ve been snatchin’ our land for years
Leavin’ footsteps and Trails of Tears
(Chorus)
Declaration of our separation
I want legal emancipation
From a dysfunctional relation
It’s been causin’ me mad frustration
So I kick yo ass to the curb
And I move right, right on, right on
How could anybody be like that
You been hurtin’ people tryin’ to hold ‘em back
And runnin’ game for far too long
Now you could say it’s on, right on, right on
Hold Up - Stop what you’re doin’
We all want peace but I’ll put two in ‘em
Own Up - You know you had it comin’
The people got together and y’all went runnin’ away
And I don’t ever wanna see your face again
I wanna live in peace without you, friend
I wanna get back to livin’ more respectfully toward this land
And get redemption for behaviors
It breaks my heart to say had no concern for you
You think that I should owe you
This system that controls you
I pray for love to know you
But I don’t really think you’ll change 2x
I bet some would give you prison
If they had a clue what it is you really do
I bet some could forgive
But you know that we’ll never forget ya
Hold Up - Stop what you’re doin’
We all want peace but I’ll put two in ‘em
Own Up - You know you had it comin’
The people got together and y’all went runnin’ away
You know it’s bout time you went runnin’ away 8x

Hopes and Dreams

Some people want another way to feel
The struggle for another day is real
The street level is hustlin’ today
There’s so many left sufferin’ away
We work hard for our rations
But we sacrifice our passions and dreams
Well maybe not you, but probly he
Well maybe not you, but probly she
Has sacrificed some Hopes and Dreams
Did not have no ways and means
Yet found a way to go on...
I saw it right there danglin’ before my eyes
And I admit I wanted the prize
Of luxury and all the wealth
Eternal bliss and perfect health
And all the things that money could buy
I knew it was fake but I wanted to try
I wanted to have what some others had
Not work ethics but a rich dad
‘Cuz money makes the world go ‘round
And all the other shufflin’s for suckas yo
Some people want another way to feel
The struggle for another day is real
The street level is hustlin’ today
There’s so many left sufferin’ away
We work hard for our rations
But we sacrifice our passions and dreams
Well maybe not you, but probly he
Well maybe not you, but probly she
Has sacrificed some Hopes and Dreams
Did not have no ways and means
Yet found a way to go on...
Say we forward march, onward bound
‘Til our Hopes and Dreams are finally found 5x

Met a girl with the summer blues
At first I didn’t understand it
Then I recognized
Life ain’t goin’ the way she planned it
I said the things we choose
In life is what we’re handed
She said no one would choose
To feel lonely and stranded
This life ain’t built for misery
Life ain’t built for misery
This life ain’t built for misery
Oh, gon bring it on back 2x
There’s a story of a boy
Lord he used to annoy
All of his friends with
Sad stories of senseless
Visions of the future
Knowin’ he’ll dispute ya
If you talk about tryin’ to live life in a positive way
(Chorus)
Gon’ bring it on back now
They say misery loves company
‘Cuz nobody really wants to be depressed and all alone
You rep it hard but you scared to have your feelings shown
You claimin’ PYT but ugly to the bone
We may not want all the same things out of life
Some people wanna get the gold and the platinum ice
Some people wanna succeed in the public eye
Some people never believe and so they never try
Gon’ bring it on back now 3x
(Chorus)

Said I won’t turn a blind eye when I see sufferin’
You know that’s not love or revolution
Said I won’t turn a blind eye when I see injustices
You know that’s not love nor revolution 2x
More goods for people to buy
More drugs so you can get high
Spend money, don’t ever think
They love it when people drink
Less feelings, more sedation
More children on medication
ADHD and Prozac
Where’s hope disposed at?
Good land that’s flushed away
All work and no play
Some speak but got no say
Just the American way
All profit back to the rich
Some people dig their own ditch
How you gonna call yourself free
When you gotta pay just to be
(Chorus)
Weapons of mass deception
Reality is perception
Wanna make a change then be it
You wanna stay blind or see it?
Doesn’t make a man to go fight
Doesn’t make you wrong or go right
Less darkness and more light
We gon’ be alright!
Some things may never change
Jim said that People Are Strange
Mojo Risin’ profit
The Lizard Queen’s been offered
The time of all humanity
We work for her insanity
Tryin’ to make a dollar right quick
Banks make ten to the one I get
Lord have his mercy
They question if they’re worthy
The Vatican is dirty
Look at all the crooked clergy
All in the name of God
The rich continue to rob
Poor folks of all their wages
All people of all ages
I pray for common sense
To spread through continents
Less violence, more peace
No war in the Middle East
Stop the fractional banking
To stop the dollar from tanking
All hail the crooked chief
As we expose the real thief
(Chorus)

Yo I can’t imagine a world wit- without you in it
And I wanna take a minute
To respect you with a little serenade
Another Modern Day Love Song
It’s comin’ straight from the heart
And I don’t really quite remember the start
How we met but you can best believe I’ll never forget
How I let my emotions get the best of me
How I’d do it all again and again
‘Cuz I’ve never been the jealous type
You treat me hella right
I guess I could complain
But what in the world would that gain?
I’d never wanna risk losin’ somethin’ that’s as beautiful as this
That’s why I gave you my life
And I would if I could I would call you my wife
And we could make sweet harmony
And if I could forget you just to reconnect with you
I know just what I’d say
So nice to finally meet you
Glad we got together
It feels so good to be right here by your side 2x
Back, back - then I’m goin’ then I’m gone 4x
Then I’m back, back
I’m not too good to say
It’s you that makes me feel this way
And I feel so good when I’m with you
You know I never wanna get on without you
Forever I’ll be by your side
‘Cuz I’m in love with beats and melodies
You are my everything my one true love, my life
And I would give you anything my heart’s desire
You’re somethin’ beautiful you know that you make me feel so good
And I would love to get back together if we could
Sing a little love song 3x
I can’t imagine how my life here would be missing
Without you here by side, I feel so blessed and wonderful 2x
Everything is wonderful, say it’s alright 8x

You make me feel so good
Every time I think about you 4x
I see you walkin’ by tryin’ to make a brotha try harder
Than I think I’m really up for
I see you whisperin’, skin glistenin’
As you make it to the dance floor
I feel the sweat from your body
Knowin’ that I couldn’t resist the way you party
You, you try to lock me down
When you see me in the club tryin’ to drop the sound
Let’s feel the vibe
We could put our differences aside
And be at peace for the moment
And let the whole entire world see how we rollin’
I like to lay back in the summertime shade
Chillin’ with my baby girl, drinkin’ lemonade
Kickin’ in the sunshine, havin’ a good day
Bless my baby, peace! And I’m on my way
Back into the studio fresh off the hooty yo
I rock a funky dope joint for the booty yo
I keep it on the positive for the masses
Cleanin’ up the vision of the world like glasses
(Chorus)
My baby loves me. Yeah, yeah she does
And I got nothin’ but love for my family ‘cuz
‘Cuz they got me, yeah they got my back
And I got nothin’ but love and respect for that
‘Cuz we hold tight and I think I just might
Feel the same sorta somethin’ for the people tonight
And there’s nowhere that I gotta be
Except right here, right now presently
Presently in touch with a much deeper substance
That’s connecting the world
And that means you and me, ya feel
(Chorus)

Pack it up, one time for your mind if you’re goin’ to the show
You know we’re gonna get high off the music
You know we’re lovin’ how we use it
For the positive and the spiritual
But some don’t hear me tho
It’s somethin’ beautiful
Somethin’ make you feel so fine
To calm and ease my mind
I spent time under the influence
And I remember that day
When you first came across my way
And though I didn’t really know what to say
I love the way that I was introduced to it
As I light this fire, oh it’s gonna take me higher
As I blaze this tree, Lord, it’s takin’ over me
I feel it down in my soul
Oh I let take control, take control, it rushes over me
Love, love is all I see
All I see is sweet harmony, harmony
Sweet harmony, harmony is gonna set it free
We really oughta let it grow beautiful and natural
You’re so beautiful and natural let it grow2x
And I was born a hustler but not a gangsta
Raised by the streets
Taught me how to make ends meet
I learned that I could work around the system
Overcame oppressive conditions
Blessed by the buddha tie
Got hip to the game back in ‘85
I was tryin’ to get them dollas
Tryin’ to get high, high, high
Along the way I got somethin’ for your mind
And I’m tryin’ to get paid
I must’ve been born for this
Don’t you know Dukes got them diggity spliffs
And we could get all lit up
And put aside our worries
And let the herb ease in - to my bloodstream again
I’m chillin’ with a friend
And talkin’ about the days of old and
Acapulco Gold and
I remember when we used to pick the hemp weed
Spend a whole afternoon pickin’ out the seeds
We used to smoke everyday before school
Gettin’ mad blunted sometimes and act a fool
We used to get the best smoke on the block
I never turned a snitch ‘cuz I never would get popped

Shine bright for the people to see
There’s life right here inside of me
When the whole entire world wants you to believe
Some people never wanna get down
We raise our fist and hold our vision
A new world with a new way of livin’
Instead of takin’ we start givin’
Love makes the world go ‘round
Proceed with the L-O-V-E
Don’t be blind and you will see
One family, we all family
One love, one light, one family
Yo fresh like our tracks
And no opinion simply just the facts
And check it lemme break it down for ya
Here’s that sound for ya
As we make ya feel good
Ey yo blessing for the soul, funk, hip hop music
Check it one time for your mind now use it
Cheer up your thoughts and learn to think for yourself
‘Cuz it’s love, love, love, lovely
When you drop your screw face don’t be two-faced
Sever the hatred, it’s all time wasted
Blinding our eyes
Now they realizing things are synchronizing
Working for the revolution, revolution
Revolution, revolution - what, what?
Revolution, revolution - love, love 2x
Here I stand before my people
As love it’s in my soul
That’s love that’s all I know
All I know is I’m ready for more
Yeah I’m pro-life and I’m anti-war
Anti-poor, blessed love for the hungry
All thumbs down for the suckas in a Humvee
You might be rich but you’re stinking the planet up
And we are the masses and guess what? We’ve had enough
And we are the people who work for the planet
And we love Mother Earth and we know you can’t stand it as we...
(Chorus)
We love revolutionaries and we workin’ for peace
And visualize a world without a crooked police
Whoa ~ that’s why we make this
Soul ~ music to relate this
Message for the people
It takes love for some people to share
It takes wisdom to keep your focus aware
On how the negativity can make some people not care
Here I stand before my, my creator
Yo it’s me and my maker
My destiny, my fate, ah!
I’m ready for my judgement
My paradise or punishment
That’s the word - Fuck the Government
Stamp it on my tombstone
And carve it out of moonstone
While my body might return to the Earth
I keep on. Yes I bless from the chest
Why people contest my mission here to Love?
It’s love - love is why we put in the time
It’s love - love is why we hustle the grind
Yo love - love is what we put in the beats
And when we make the soul music when we hittin’ the streets
Yo love - love is what we send to the crowd
Yo love - love the music? Turn up loud
Yo love - love is when you open your soul
And let love for the world just take control

Keep tryin’ just to push it away
Every single day ‘cuz he can’t face the future 8x
It’s all leading here, right here next to you 2x
It’s alright to be afraid of what you do not know
But you can’t let fear guide you 4x
Strength and blessings yo
Motivated by the positive lessons from
KRS to the Poor Righteous Teachers
Chuck D and all the hip hop preachers
Hip hop teachers - yo and now I try to represent that voice
I try to represent to you the power of choice
I try to be calm but proceed to Bring The Noise
And while I plan my work I be workin’ my plan
You understand what I’m sayin’ man?
Yeah, and stay focused on the task at hand
Of peaceful transformation of the promised land
Oh you know I try, try to live my life one day at a time
But you know I, I, I’ve looked far behind
And ahead into my future, afraid I might lose control
And is there peace in what you don’t know?
Is it weak to have you guide me?
‘Cuz there’s so much that I don’t know
If you could gently remind me
And help me find my way, my way back home again
And help me find my way

When you hold me tight
Don’t you know you make me feel so right
And you know how to make me feel like a man
You break me down and then you build me back up again
You know some days all I think is you
And the things we could do
Then you softly touch my hand
Then it all comes rushing back again
Girl you know I love you, yes I do
You know it’s true
Girl you love me too, yes you do
I feel it, can ya feel it, when our bodies touch and it’s like
It’s magic and I’m a fanatic and I want it all night
It’s lust, but it’s love and it feels so right
It’s a man, it’s a woman, and it’s a beautiful sight
When your body’s layin’ right here next to mine
Girl you make me feel so divine
‘Cuz it’s your beautiful mind, but your body too
It’s all the things that make up you
And it’s the way that you do all the things that you do
Girl you know I love you, yes I do
And right this very minute, it’s perfect
And I swear I wanna stay here in the now
And I’m in it, and my god, I’m tellin’ you it’s like Blau!
And I know you might not feel the same way as me
And I know we might not feel the same way next week
But here it seems like there ain’t nothin’ that could change how I felt
And every time your lips suckin’ upon my neck I melt
Girl you feel it, I hope you know I feel it too
For when you hold me tight
Don’t you know it makes me feel so right
And you know how to make me feel like a man
You break me down and then you build me back up again
You know some days all I think is you
And the things we could do
Then you softly touch my hand
Then it all comes rushing back again
Girl you know I love you, yes I do
You know it’s true
Girl you love me too, yes you do

It’s time to love and release the power of the police
And get back something better for the people, kid
No regrets for the things I did ‘cuz it got me where I’m at today
So what can I say? I’ve been blessed with the gift of rhyme
Though I used to smoke just to pass the time
Now that things I wrote could expand your mind
And connect us in a beautiful way
It’s the power to the people
Or the fact that I’m still workin’ to be equal
To somebody with some other colored skin
Who never gave a damn for a black man
You only wanna tax and lock away all our kin
But I don’t hate ya shady boy, I just wanna replace ya
With somebody who had got my back
As a matter of fact, we can part our ways right here
‘Cuz I’m sick of buyin’ in to your fears, it’s a beautiful world
It’s a beautiful world, it’s a beautiful world - that we’re livin’ in 4x
Yo it’s a beautiful world and it’s a beautiful life
And I ain’t gotta think twice about that, see
It’s all love with my family so we spread it out around to the world
My baby girl’s not the only reason that I try to make a difference
‘Cuz I always have somethin’ to say
In a world where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer
And the streets ain’t nowhere to play
And you better believe I always got a trick up my sleeve
When it comes to runnin’ game on the man
The po is the muscle in this modern’s hustle
We got power to the people so you know where we stand
It’s a beautiful world
(Chorus)

Holla back with a shorty yo
Word up with a sack and forty yo
You tryin’ to rep that rock shit
Know you got the mothafuckin’ badass hot whip
Glock click. Bad mothafuckas
Yo it’s sad mothafuckas that you only wanna talk shit
Rough ridin’, two mothafuckas died
And still like “Midwest Pride”
And some be reppin’ that weak shit
Yo you kill mothafuckas on the street, kid?
Some is hard mothafuckas
Some is doin’ mad time in the yard mothafuckas
Some is real life game shit
But more is wanna be that fake ass lame shit
Have the game and the fame, shit
At the top ain’t no one to remain with
I’d rather keep it roots with the family
Gangsta mothafuckas wouldn’t understand me 2x
Yo, you didn’t know this mothafucka’s gangsta?
Talk shit, recognize who you walkin’ with
A love revolution and I’m part of it
I’m reppin’ what is really at the heart of it
One love, one soul - let’s honor it
Let’s get it back to the roots
‘Cuz gangs was about organizin’ the troops
And representin’ for your own community
Never meant compromised love and unity
Said it’s all for they people
Some would die for they people
Some would cry for they people
Can ya tell me where does it end?
Does it end with your family
Or it end with your friends?
Or maybe with the people right next door
Gotta separate ‘em if you wanna have a war
Fire fire, bang bang now you’re dead
Couldn’t take a bullet goin’ through your head
Hope they never do me like they went and did Fred
Fred was a revolutionary now he’s dead
Co-Intel Pro yo they got him in his bed
Shot in his bed yo the cops and the feds
Now he’s dead like a mothafucka that’s just a part of it
Not the end and it wasn’t the start of it
It’s comin’ back around, we ‘bout to finish what you started 2x
He said there was a war, war, war
A war against the people 2x
Blessed love as we meditate
And visualize a peaceful state 5x

If you feel like dancin’ - Hey
Won’t you get on up to get down, down 4x
And lose, lose your body to this
And let the music hit your soul
Let your mind go drifting away 2x
Get up, get up to get down 4x
And let what’s universal connect us to all that live in this world
Right here, right now won’t you get on up
And get down, won’t you get on up 4x
‘Cuz soul music is when any form of music inspires you
Soul music is the power of the right song to find you
Everybody get funky enough, everybody get funky enough
Ey yo jam to the rhythm, one time if you feel it
Let it run all through your body and soul
‘Cuz it’s hip hop music, yeah
Don’t ya know we got that positive vibe
And we live and direct so check yourself
Because we comin’ with that new school hip hop
Don’t stop - jams that make ya body rock
Suckas on the bottom while we champions on top
Love for the movement, focus on improvement
Always be the best that you can
That’s why we take a stand for the revolutionaries on the front line
Holdin’ it down with the sound yo this is our time
Holdin’ all the people in check with respect
Let your soul shine free, everybody say now
Let your soul shine free, come on everybody now
Get up, get up to get down 4x
And let what’s universal connect us to all that live in this world
Right here, right now won’t you get on up
And get down, won’t you get on up 2x
