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 through 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 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 & 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
|
