I'm old school
Like 83classic
Back when spinning black records
Was the fashion
Back when the anthems
Didn't preach hate
Now I'm hearing too much gun talk
On the mixtapes
Where's the dub plates
For peace and love
Because we all need peace
And we all need love
The sun up above
Still burns real bright
But it's dark in our minds
Because we're not living right
Feels like airtight containers
Contain us
Starving for oxygen
While money entertain us
Fake entertainers
Facades get thrown
So we're chasing fake dreams
While their taking our homes
Forget about thrones
Overthrow philosophies
Science and technology
The future society
No rich man
Poor man
Just Earth man
Because we're all one people
And we're all one fam'
I was born in the city
Where the rats run
Busy bumble
On the streets
Where the dirt's done
Dirty money
Everybody trying to get some
Busy dodging rain drops
Longing for that hot sun
It's a long run
But I'm on one
Still on the grind
I'm writing rhymes
Until the night come
And when the night come
I'll pen another one
Three six five
On and on and on
And Ariston
Now its hip hop
We all hip now
Everybody make beats
Everybody rap now
Everybody getting down
With the movement
Hip hop united
We love this music
It's amazing
How we keep creating
How we keep evolving
Now we celebrating
Manifestation
Of musical fascination
Through CD's
And PC's
And radio stations
I extend my arm
More love
Nice to meet ya'
Still speaking these truths
So they call me the speecher
Resonate through the speaker
With a smile on my face
Because I set the right pace
And I run the right race
I tie my shoelace
Like the economy tight
Because they pulling purse strings
While the puppets all fight
But we just might
Gain some perspective if
People told the real truth
We could lift the lid
Like a bin man
Empty the bags
And let the cats run
Chase out the rats
We could flourish in this London
Far from a dungeon
But days ain't golden
Stuck with the consequence
Of choices that's chosen
Hearts seem frozen
But love can melt
But it's hard
When they fix
All the cards we're dealt
Because we've knelt
And we've prayed
And we've pleaded
And we've cried
But enough
Is enough
Because we must survive
PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!
