Xiuhtezcatl - Boombox Warfare (feat. Jaden Smith) Lyrics




(I can feel the sound, I can feel the sound)

We on a wave, we on a wave now

-

I'm waking up today, I'm trying to stay cool

Two years grinding and I'm still in the same shoes

You couldn't say my name until the fame came through

Now everywhere I go, people telling me to stay true

I'm getting criticism for this life that I'm living

You should spend more time with the message, and less with rhymes you've written

You shouldn't be a rapper, get out the studio

They don't understand that music makes the revolution grow

You see this rhythm speaks, study the history

People singing songs of freedom, while we marching in the streets

Yes this is critical, this is my resistance

Artists hold more power than these crooked politicians

This is boombox warfare, gather in the cypher

Music draws the intersections make the circles wider

Cool the earth's climate when I'm spitting fire

Win our battles with a microphone to get the youth inspired

Truth is higher

More than a method of communication

Hip-hop culture is our greatest tool for liberation

Feel it in the waves of the music we steady making

A future generations walk the roads that we already paving


-

I can feel the sound, reaching through the speakers

Rhythm of the movement, revolution through the tweeters

Lift a generation up, move the masses when the bass hits

I'mma touch the world with what started in the basement

-

I can feel the sound reaching through the speakers

Rhythm of the movement, revolution through the tweeters

Lift your hands up, move the masses when the bass hits

I'mma touch the world with what started in the basement




This is for the air I breathe (raising, raising)

I'm a walking and I know my place (know my place, know my place)

The revolution of the sound makes waves, yea (raising, raising)

I'm a walking I'mma hold my space (raising, raising)




When I wake up in the morning and I see people suffering

I'm just like, what's in front of me?

No one cares if they hungry

And they walking right over them, cause they thinking they under me

I would look up to them as a child and be wondering

If I fly as a butterfly, in my dream or a bumblebee

As we going instinct, will we still live on an eternity

And the answers to questions I have never have certainty

So I gathered the knowledge all on my own because learning free (I'm my own university)

It's the MSFTSrep courtesy, I can take a rhythm, chop it, turn it to surgery

I can go see Crow or play a show up in Germany

What's with the books, the poetry, and the urgency

My homie just listen

It's the one world vision

The grand unification of life for earth

The mission is clear

So if you wid it, baby we can get wid it

Me and X in the Basas just chillin' and we out

Boombox warfare

Chillin in the cypher

Bring it down low so we can get the people higher

Step one, break free

Only the beginning

Gave it to the world and now

Everybody is singing

Hyper that we spit this, it gets the people higher

In the streets we breaking beats on the pavement

Everybody singing that this music is a language

Language, language

Music is a language (language)

Music is a language, yea
