Prophets Of Rage |
With vice I hold the mike device |
With force I keep it away of course |
And I’m keepin’you from sleepin' |
And on stage I rage |
And I’m rollin' |
To the poor I pour in on in metaphors |
Not bluffin', it’s nothin' |
That we ain’t did before |
We played you stayed |
The points made |
You consider it done |
By the prophets of rage |
(Power of the people say) |
I roll with the punches so I survive |
Try to rock 'cause it keeps the crowd alive |
I’m not ballin', I’m just callin' |
But I’m past the days of yes y’allin' |
Wa wiggle round and round |
I pump, you jump up Hear my words my verbs |
And get juiced up I been around a while |
You can descibe my sound |
Clear the way |
For the prophets of rage |
(Power of the people say) |
I rang ya bell |
Can you tell I got feelin' |
Just peace at least |
Cause I want it Want it so bad |
That I’m starvin' |
I’m like Garvey |
So you can see B It’s like that, I’m like Nat |
Leave me the hell alone |
If you don’t think I’m a brother |
Then check the chromosomes |
Then check the stage |
I declare it a new age |
Get down for the prophets of rage |
Keep you from gettin’like this |
You back the track |
You find we’re the quotable |
You emulate |
Brothers, sisters thats beautiful |
Follow a path |
Of positivity you go Some sing it or rap it Or harmonize it through Go-Go |
Little you know but very |
Seldom I do party jams |
About a plan |
I’m considered the man |
I’m the recordable |
But God made it affordable |
I say it, you play it Back in your car or even portable |
Stereo |
Describes my scenario |
Left or right, Black or White |
They tell lies in the books |
That you’re readin' |
It’s knowledge of yourself |
That you’re needin' |
Like Vescey or Prosser |
We have a reason why |
To debate the hate |
That’s why we’re born to die |
Mandela, cell dweller, Thatcher |
You can tell her clear the way for the prophets of rage |
(Power of the people you say) |
It’s raw and keepin’you on the floor |
Its soul and keepin’you in control |
It’s pt. |
2 cause I’m |
Pumpin’what you’re used to Until the whole juice crew |
Gets me in my goose down |
I do the rebel yell |
And I’m the duracell |
Call it plain insane |
Brothers causein’me pain |
When a brothers a victim |
And the sellers a dweller in a cage |
Yo, run the accapella |
(Power of the people say) |
