We movin’ towards progress, not a linear regression

We wanna be makin’ music, just to reduce this aggression

A classic sampled instrumental, its not permanent, a rental

Paired with just a voice so gentle, to induce this elemental

Effect, to eliminate, the detrimental musical taste

That so many seem to enjoy, lines filled with hate

Distracted by the videos, music blasting out the stereo-

Types so distasteful, here we go. Here we go

I just sit here chilling, yeah I’m sipping my drink

While trying to think ‘bout, putting rhymes in ink

Tryna make a million, that I cannot deny

Cuz money it runs my mind, yeah it lies inside

We makin’ them tracks, we makin’ ‘em ill

Polishing up our knowledge still

Tryna stay educated, will, power keepin’ us real

Separated from the rest of them

We wanna be just the best of them

The ignorant raps lessening

Climbing on top of that hill

This effortless movement that I’m making

Leaving them star struck, leaving them shaken

Appreciate their music

But their lines should not be taken

Seriously please

They’re delirious at the least

Pants sagging, chains hanging

And constantly using the word ‘steeze’

What in the world has happened to

Making a peaceful rap or two

I still listen to Luda’s “Act a fool”

As a matter of fact, that’s happy too

Entertaining and impractical

Deranging and just magical

And at the same time

Saturated with theatrical

Themes and crazy images

A catchy tune indeed

Not heavy on the lyrics

But its something that we need

A refreshing look at rap

From the past that should be brought

Back to breathe some life

Into the heart of hip hop

Learning lessons from the past

Wrap those raps up like a present

Send them up into the future

To ensure that it is pleasant

We were never ones to behave

Got our ancestors turning in graves

Now we just looking to get saved

Best believe it’s a god damn shame

This lyrical genius inherent inside

All of the raps its apparent but I

Wanna promote an idea

That clever raps should gain some merit tonight

The rest just getting buried tonight

So restless and just asking for fights

They knock on my door, let them in?

I’m pushing them out, yeah god damn right

I just sit here chilling, yeah I’m sipping my drink

While trying to think ‘bout, putting rhymes in ink

Tryna make a million, that I cannot deny

Cuz money it runs my mind, yeah it lies inside

We breaking the built up barriers

Just like B-52 carriers

Connecting the world together

Bringing back the world to merrier

States of mind that hide inside

Deep inside our conscious eyes

Until one day they are released

And then we get a big surprise

The fact of the matter is

That we gonna be heard by all these kids

Children of all ages

Why do we preach what we should forbid

Never deceive, just try to believe

That each and every single one needs

A role model, someone to look up to

So let’s give them one please

I just sit here chilling, yeah I’m sipping my drink

While trying to think ‘bout, putting rhymes in ink

Tryna make a million, that I cannot deny

Cuz money it runs my mind, yeah it lies inside
