We used to dream about changing the world

With a style that was universal

Real and commercial

Heal and immerse you in the waters

Tired of seeing lost black sons and daughters

But in '94 we slipped a notch, no juice over the years

Couldn't piss the pot

Hip hop went insane but ten years later, back in the game

C'mon, push up the faders 'cause we believe in miracles

I believe in miracles, yeah yeah

I believe in you

And Harriet Tubman would tell us

Don't stop, y'all get down, just rock, y'all get down

We're made of more than this

Don't let 'em define us

Don't let 'em confine us

We're warriors

From the underground railroads we sneaked through swamps

To sit VIP in a restaurant

Hill Side projects, get down

North Side project, get down

They give us platinum medallions to cover our hearts

Keep us far away from the most powerful parts of us

'Cause if they keep us looking outside

Then we won't bother looking inside

I'm too old a dude to be scared of flopping

We're from the old school, this is real hip hopping

And we talk about what we see, won't dumb it down

'Cause I ain't around dumb company

We smarter than this

And we can come harder than this

And do a brag rap on the next song on the disc

'Cause right now you know you're all in the midst of miracles

I believe in miracles, yeah yeah

I believe in you

B-boy, Filipinos, Asians, Latinos, you feel me as I kick this stee-lo?

Cyphers 'round the world got a knife around the neck of the world

But only demanding respect and girls

What a waste of power, hip hop in the most powerful hour

Like Babel we're building our tower

But we got a chance, while the whole world's under our trance

Who's gonna use it so the folks can advance

'Cause we believe in miracles

I believe, I believe in you, take me higher

I believe in miracles, yeah yeah

I believe in you
