Dear GOD I wanna be, a Conscious Rappa
Spit the Truth to the masses like a-ratatatata
Talkin’ bout the facts that actually matta
Hit the mental wondalands with the cold hard data
Cuz the left and the right both praise the mad hatta
While the fat cats, keep on getting fatta
And the government elites monitor our chatta
I get under the icing to the blood in the batta
Piss on hannity’s parade like a pitta patta
Dissect the whole charade like a Finch, Atticu-
So you know I’m real like doctor Shaquille O’neal
Cuz The Gospel of Hip Hop, has truly reached me
Let’s meet in the Temple see what you can teach me
Hip hoppa spirit, greases my wheels
And Dr. King’s freedom is what I feel
I be-livin’ the cause like Huey Newton’s Laws
Cuz Hip Hop saved my soul from depression’s Jaws
So who’s rappin conscious, and thinkin’ free?
Only the goodest kid in the maaddest city
Inspired cat k 2 the en-D-R-I-C----Kame into my brain with new mental schemes
Plantin’ the seeds of my HipHop dreams
Visions a martin lutha, starin’ at me
Shaped da Hiipowa rappa by the name a Z
Not to mention, Talib Kweli
Kanye and Public Enemy
And MOS DEFinitely, K-R-S-O-N-E
But we gotta focus lyrical energy
On stopping this war in the Middle East
[Hook #1]
So Hands Off Syria and this Middle East Delirium
The people have spoken hope Obama's hearin’ ‘em
Quit telling us lies cuz were finished fearin’ ‘em
Decisions for peace the people are cheerin’ ‘em
Cuz this war won't work
Obama's berserk
Sillier idea than Miley Cyrus Twerk
Power to the people cuz the people want peace
Don't wanna be treated like a flock a geese
Don’t wanna go back to the middle east!
Selling our souls to military beasts
Cuz we can read history in Vietnamese
We draw redlines at chemical gas
Ignorin all the kids killed by drone attacks
So quit dreaming of this equal democracy
We’re sleepwalking through a corporate plutocracy
Cuz our government’s a front for the biggest scam since Enron, Nixon, and Viet-nam
Power to the people’s a naive illusion
If no one really cares about corporate collusion
Infotainment spreads fear and public confusion
What we needs a free media revolution
Cuz u can't have civilized public debate when bill o'reilly makes a livin’ from spewin’ hate
I used to trust, Barack Obama
But he gets his funding from corporate piranhas
And the C - I - A --- trained Osama
Barry O gets his campaign dough from Wall Street elites and Monsanto
But we don't support, the GOP
Cuz both the left and the right serve Big Money
Start noddin’ along, like Winnie the Pooh
Cuz these candy bars taste like hunny to you
And AIPAC is wacker than drone attacks
When votes get silenced by Korporate Kash stacKs
Secret money buyin’ votes ain’t close to funny
When lobbyists and congress are getting chummy
Citizens United is just the beginning
Multinational monsters are clearly winning
Corporations are people when we think like sheeple cuz the laws ain’t close to fair and equal
But Dissent is the highest form of patriotism
So don't let media put blinders on your vision
And I’mma let Patty take it away
And fiddle her way to a brand new day
If you feelin’ our vibes lemme hear you say
NO MORE WAR, NOT TODAY
I said NO MORE WAR, NOT TODAY
NO MORE WAR, NOT TODAY (x3)
So Hands off Syria end this Middle East Delirium
The people have spoken hope Obama is hearin’ em
Quit tellin’ us lies! We’re finished fearin’ em
Decisions for peace! The people are cheerin’ em
This war won't work --- Obama is berserk
Sillier idea than an upside down twerk
We wanna end the violence
And stop the silence
‘Bout these MidEast tyrants
With USApproved environments
So quit dreamin’ of this democracy
We woken you up to this hypocrisy
Cuz our governments a front for the biggest sham since Halliburton, Cheney, Afghanistan
So let’s take some time to contemplate
Our path, our future, and our shared fate
Cuz it’s our time to take a stand
We will struggle hand in hand
If things ain’t right then we’ll fight through the night
We will win because we refuse to give in
So have faith in yourself and your spiritual health
And we will win whatever hand we dealt
Cuz it’s our future that we’re talking about
So the people gotta get up, the people gotta shout
Black/white, queer/straight let’s consolidate
I rap for truth and it ain’t for fame
Cuz the two are rarely one in the same
Spittin’ supa hot flame ‘till the end of my reign
Cuz we callin’ for change, no political games
No taxation without representation
Cuz Washington D.C. is screwin’ over this nation
But time’s up here comes the Revelation
Bustin’ rhymes outta these political vibrations
Spittin’ bars about our everyday frustrations
Sendin’ us to war while we forget about the Haitians
Sellin’ us lies BS fabrications
This media’s a Weapon of Mass Disinformation
Ignorin’ child starvation while politicians vacation
Take a stand against plutocratic damnation
And you’ll feel yo FREEDOM in that tingly sensation
This rap’s a lot more than hollow allegations
Check the rhymescheme for well-researched excavations
Cuz ya listenin’ to a movement’s creation
And my tracks build onto the nation’s education
And we won’t stop grooving ‘till we find some solutions
Cuz power to the people’s a naïve illusion
‘Till YOU stand up to political pollution
Cuz this government’s a front for the biggest sham
Since ContradictaReagan sellin’ guns to Iran
I thank the Good Lord, for answerin’ my prayers
If I strike ya soul’s chord than ya spirit is aware
That it’s time to wake up get out that chair
So whatever’s on ya soul feel free to share
Cuz this Life's a divine game of truth or dare
In my mind I take the truth my holy flow is the proof
In my heart I take the dare to have the courage to care
And my faith lights my path like a mystical flare
Cuz my battles with the devil gave me quite the scare
But it’s our meta-obligation to embody our prayers
God lives within us all were on in the same
If you follow your dreams you'll change the game
I got the pulse of the nation flowin’ through my veins
Cuz The Gospel of Hip Hop embraced my pains
A perceptive perspective turned my chains into gains
Retrained my brain to see GOD in the Pain
The Buddha Way in the Plain
Krishna in the rain
And the Love in the flow of big daddy kane
I thank GOD for makin me a conscious rappa
Spittin’ truth to all classes like a ratatatata
Talkin’ bout the facts that actually matta
Dissect the whole charade like a finch, atticu
So we gotta ask ourselves "what can I do?"
Cuz the key to true Justice lies within YOU!
