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 10 years later back in the game |
|
c'mon push up the faders cuz we believe in miracles |
|
I believe in Miracles yeah yeah |
|
I believe in you |
|
And Harriet Tubman would tell us... |
|
Don't stop yawl get down, just rock yawl 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 thraough swamps to sit VIP in a restaurant |
|
Hill Side projects get down |
|
North Shore projects get down |
|
They give us platinum medallions to cover our hearts |
|
Keep us far away from the most powerful parts of us |
|
Cuz 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 |
|
Cuz 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 |
|
Cuz right now you know you're all in the midst of miracles! |
|
I believe in Miracles yeah yeah |
|
I believe in you |
|
B-boy Filipino's Asians Lations 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 & 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 worlds under our trance |
|
Who's gonna use it so the folks can advance |
|
Cuz we believe in miracles |
|
I believe, I believe in you take me higher |
|
I believe in Miracles yeah yeah |
|
I believe in you |
