we the people pledge allegiance to the hip-hop of the United States of America
though for which it stands is scaring ya
one nation under God, individual indivisible
delivery for liberty, I bust this for justice
we the people spinning the 1200’s, spitting to tell hundreds and thousands about it
that’s why this mic is crowded, we the people packing the club
fiendin for real music, not because its all we got, we do it because we choose it
we the people that’s defining the culture
polish the rock so we can shine in the culture
we’re the x-generation, the next generation
given the cold shoulder by a society that’s leaving a foul odor
they’re going lower
but it’s not over
we’re the soldiers hitting the concrete
running through the streets
up the steps like Rocky Balboa
behind us the crowd flocking, they wanna know
how we’re rocking
now’s the time to show ‘em, we got the whole world watching
revolution for the truth in, we are the ones
helicopters they can’t stop us, we are the ones
your deception is not a question, we are the ones
standing tall and never falling, we are the ones
shining light from this mic like the first time your eyes opened
focusing the source that can blow the skies wide open
we carry the torch,
keep the flame burning for those returning
we’re all searching,
some exploring off the course
I’m not gonna rest, gonna get this off my chest
I’m sick of being oppressed, sick of unbelieving, sick of underachieving
sick of iniquity, sick of the lack of love, matter of fact -
I’m sick of rapping about the stuff I’m sick of
so what’s the aspirin? making it happen
taking the passion from my freedom being under attack and I came to take it back
came to say its wack to let these jokers run your life
what they say often is brainwashing - don’t let it become your life
the clock ticking, 3 seconds left
about to take it to the sky, like Sunday night we’re the ultimate highlight
the ultimate prize fight, the soul to the champion
stepping to the ring, cheers deafening, cameras flashing, this the anthem
so here we are, we’re stars, we’re divine, we’re all building
we’re God’s children,
you can tell by the shine
if this sounds like rebellion, you got it right
we’re rebelling against the lies they’re telling and the deception they taught us - like
the righteous should be hated, its cool to be intoxicated, rhymes gotta be explicit
and the only condition of women we can display is degraded
seems that whole scheme is twisted
and for someone to set it straight this way
is long-awaited
2000 years in the making, this here is for the taking
unforsaken standing center stage with no fear and celebrating
millions standing in ovation, united in chorus one voice we share
and call forth triumphant through the air
they can’t stop us
any more than a weak beat can rock us
out for due respect, the revolution is in effect, only the truth we will accept
so give it to us, the light and the life continued through us, what you expect? |
