BLOODSWEAT&TEARS
yo I wanna be free like fish in the sea birds in the sky/
freedom of speech my words they take flights/
mental abyss it's time to climb out/
brothers and sisters it's freedom time now/
Osama Bin get out your hide out/
Che Guevara motorcycle diaries ride/
from town to town to the next one exodust camp/
2007Bob Marleys and Malcoms/ Xtra read all about the blackest panther/
a million fallen soldiers who were never mentioned/
children broken hearted in need and feen for attention/
John Q poppa hold hospitals hostage fuck the ransom/
what you mean no insurance no surgery/ two black brothers SOS man this is an emergency/
Jahi said we tired of being sick and tired/ there won't be a case nore a trial/
I'm the king of my empire/ a few chosen ones that I admire/
me myself and I and the ones with burning desires/
speeding on the course no pit stops burn the tires/
watch observed and learned from the livest/
Alee Rock living legend don't scream 010/ if you don't know the brethren
don't power move like Paulo/ if you ain't six stepping
I know some folks in your hood/ centuries from now they're starring in knew holy books/
CHORUS
Hip Hop don't stop they can't break your legs/
walk long distances elevate and stay up stairs/
speak words move legs and spray your cans/
turn your tables express in every way you can/
and while you up there don't let no body pull you down/
if they love you like they say they do they ain't fooling around/
hip hop I feel your pain we're one and the same/
this is dead serious it's not a game/
you don't wanna mess with the kid/
years of practice been investing in this/ Bloodsweat&tears/
don't talk you don't know nothing a bout my life/
days and nights we fought hard trying survive/
so many things at stake/
I can't afford to make mistakes no/cause there's one life to live one man to live it I'ma live it/
mind body soul and spirit/
one life
one life to live give it all you got don't stop/
some know some just won't ever grow up/
some know but there mentality so what/
insecure before every decision they’re like hold up/
one more time fuck with me I'm like go fuck/
your self was it love when we eventually broke up/
strong religious home boy just lost all his hope cause/
his elder went to sleep last week and never woke up again/
black sisters can get richer than Oprah/
grandma seventy nine and all her life she lived like a soldier/
you ain't living la vida loca more like local/
we nomads and gipsies travel from coast to/
coast to show you the range of the rover/
flow on beats flow like skaters flow like waves in the ocean/
living my life like it's golden/
fight till my live is over I'ma fight till my life is over/
CHORUS
