Everybody sing
Reggae is a big ting'
Everybody sing
Hiphop's a big ting'
Everybody sing
Soul is a big ting'
Everybody sing
Music is the real ting'
Been holding it down since 99'
With a pen and a pad
And 16 lines
Skanka'
Bass line
Caught in a groove
I was born to rhyme
Memorising mesmerising tunes
Straight from the old school
Put the needle on the record
I was taught just what to do
Youths these days on an iPhone
Shuffle through the latest playlist
What happened to those vinyls
Put them in their paper cases
Music was the soundtrack
To my childhood
All those places
See I was spinning records
Before I learnt to tie my laces
Back when an album was an album
And a single was a single
Never heard of internet
Hit the club
Go out and mingle
The DJ was the master of the dance
He had the jingles
Feel the bass line
Floating through the dance
Your body tingle
It used to be all innocent
Radio pop
Now theres too much talk
About shotting on blocks
And holding glocks
So we let the record drop
And turn the clock back
To golden years
Alleviate the pressures
And the fears
It's all good here
Game ain't the same
These days
It's all about earning
Euros
Dollars
Sterling
Everybody yearning
Live the dream
Chasing paper
Ain't what it seems
Say what I mean
My words hold weight
I don't rap about
Holding weight
And I don't rap about
Cars and chains
There's more to life
Let's talk and debate
Step to the plate
And play our part
The theatre of
Our hopes and dreams
Reciting lines behind the scenes
Darts of knowledge
Lazer beams
Life and death
And in between's
A fairytale without the morals
Music help's us tell our story
Music helps us drown our sorrows
Music helps us wake tomorrow
Calm the storm
And meditate
Lift us up when times are low
The rhymes and flows appreciate
Inspire and innovate
Break and build
And mimic this
Imagination limitless
I'll take a breath and finish this
Last few lines
Spill out my mind
Then come with the chorus
Skanking time
These raps are far from filler fodder
There's heart and soul
In every line
There's heart and soul in every rhyme
The music gives me strength to breathe
The music gives me strength to speak
I love this game
I'll never leave
PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!
