They say, or at least they say that they say That reality is only what your mind chooses to believe If that’s true, believe this
[Hook 1] I don’t rap, I talk rhythm into a mic I try to enlight and let my soul take flight I can’t describe it, cause it’s more like a feeling To grab a mic and touch every soul up in the building To fill a room with love from the floor to the ceiling Where ain’t nobody shooting and there ain’t nobody killing I can’t describe it but you feel it in the air It’s the thump of the base, it’s the snap of the snare I can’t describe it cause it’s more like a feeling A future with me and no mics, I don’t see it It’s hip hop and this is all that I know I plug the mic into the speaker give these people a show
[Hook 2]
It seems these days everybody is a scholar Not because they love knowledge because they love dollars I feel bad for those who live and die for their possessions Know nothing, know it all answering the wrong questions Like this, dude I know at university school Works hard gets A’s but the boy is a fool He doesn’t get people, he’s uncomfortable around them Couldn’t find a square hole, so he tried to fit in a round one Bad move, but the boy stays patient It ain’t about education college is a corporation So when I don’t feel like dealing with the world that surrounds me My Radiohead video tech bumps loudly And proudly without giving a blink Shit, my life is too short to care about what you think I just open my brain, drip ink like rain And I sit down describing these sketches of pain
[Hook 3]
Sometimes I feel my life is just one long day Like I’m on the right track but I’m riding wrong train What does the song say, and they scream to the youth Get up, stand up you know it’s the truth All day Leon Trotskis preach revolution Waiting for singers and rappers to offer a solution It can weep for you, it can grieve for you It can open your eyes, but it can’t see for you It’s just music and it won’t change the world People got to do it, every boy every girl Fuck Darwin, we got to carry one another Every woman is your sister, every man is your brother The day we the people decide to stand united There ain’t a government in the world that can fight it The day we the people decide to stand united There ain’t a bloody army in the world that can fight it
