Lyrics
South Bronx, 1974//
Party people dancing at a b-ball court//
A James Brown record is hittin' the break//
And all the party people screamin' we want more//
fast forward...
What happened to the heart, pumping blood into the art//
They say its outta love well love is a start//
The world is but a stage, I play my part//
That God gave me, cause He made me//
So kid, go mingle, you stand at the beginning//
My rhymes make you grin, I know that you'll be winning//
If you're willing, cause I know that your past was imprinting//
Wheels are slipping, but that only says that they are spinning//
Raise you're hands up, raise 'em up, raise 'em higher//
The stakes are high, and so it's time to buckle up//
So raise 'em up, raise your hands, it's time to raise 'em higher//
My arteries connect to the amplifier wire//
...//
Yeah I rhyme, give me a stage//
And I'll shine, give me my life//
And I'll climb up the ladder till I resemble//
The sun, cause thats the one things that matter//
Like the treble of the trump givs me goosebumps//
Facing troubles I wont run, talking growth its never done//
See I write these raps in my head when Im on my bicycle//
Phonologicaly looping 'em till I jot 'em on my phone//
What I wrote is this: you stand at the beginning//
My rhymes make you grin, I know that you'll be winning//
If you're willing, cause I know that your past was imprinting//
Wheels are slipping, but that only says that they are spinning//
Raise you're hands up, raise 'em up, raise 'em higher//
The stakes are high, and so it's time to buckle up//
So raise 'em up, raise your hands, it's time to raise 'em higher//
My arteries connect to the amplifier wire//
Life can be full of heavy colors//
I wanna confide in you like a softer pillow//
Im about to tearfall, like a recent widow//
But no, i am a decent hero//
Im clad with knowledge of self and I don't wear it for show//
Come at me bro, but then guess what//
Ill show you love like you're my brother, cause brother//
The world is torn and it is falling apart//
And so I bruise where it hurts and it keeps coming back//
Like Im a sponge to the world that is soaking me wet//
It dawned upon me through a phrase Ill share with you//
Be calm, be strong, be grate-ful//
Raise you're hands up, raise 'em up, raise 'em higher//
The stakes are high, and so it's time to buckle up//
So raise 'em up, raise your hands, it's time to raise 'em higher//
My arteries connect to the amplifier wire//
