Boombap
Said straight fro the trap
Taking it back to when Michael Jackson was black
Shoelaces were fat
And the hooks were way raw that
Early nineties flow
Cut straight on the slipmat
Kool Herc and them endured the free motion
Make hip-hop now business out of culture
Watch me drop from this cliff like I'm a vulture
Bringing some rage like Zack de la Rocha
TV out the window like rockstar
Playing it loud like sirens from cop cars
The windows are tinted but their wound right down
Cos we want people to see how we move around town
Revolve sounds, round this world you see it orbit
We never be stopping until the sun dries out
So now I bring the audit on this hip-hop game
Were too many loose artists be gaining change
Disengaging the game and firing shots in disarray
I come here as a fan in hand to let shit spray
And if a man can't stray and stand up in his place
Hold hands together to pray and say his grace
The fairness of race
Equality we chase
To stand together as one united race
And will it ever happen in my lifetime
I have to wonder why oh why, why oh why
And will it ever happen in my lifetime
I have to wonder why oh why, why oh why
And could we all share freedom at the same time please god
Would you show a sign in this dark time, just to spark light
If you gave man a chance get his act right
Would his heart play a part in this game we call life?
Philosopher Alan Watts speaks
So what will you do today to make a change
My words spray to hit cold like winters rain
For the human race we search in outer space for truths
That could make sense to meet this diverse race
I'm trying to up the pace
Change your face a new outlook
Im gonna switch the flow up show you all the cards I'm holding
Tell you all that I am knowing
If you aint doing what your doing to bring change, there's only yourself to blame
Sleeping on this idea like a sedative
I drink like a fish that's my medicine
Feeling like a postman delivering these letters in complex forms keeping it challenging
Like question time going against Albert Einstein
You'll get none right but left an embarrasement
Banish him
Send his straight to Zion no lion you'll feel betrayed like Mufasa from Lion King
Death that'll be your last lay in
When your down so ow you can't be arsed with tryin
Always pick yourself up and celebrate and elevate
Theres no need to waste time with all this over debate
Ignore those people they will always hate
Remember its just their opinion
Yours will open mind states
And you can be great my man no question
Never put yourself down your no less than
Any man be it wealth, social status
Profession that mental state will lead you to digression
It's not about the numerals Id say life about the living
Then how many people turn up to your funeral
And you can be great my man no question
Never put yourself down your no less than
Any man be it wealth, social status
Profession that mental state will lead you to digression
It's not about the numerals Id say life about the living
Then how many people turn up to your funeral
