Beat Street Page #6

No more bad times, and no more pain

No more chump change, none of that bull

Just movies, museums, and the hall of fame

So all you hip-hops, get on up

And let's take it to the top where we belong

'Cause the age

of the Beat Street wave is here

Everybody, let's sing along,

now come on, say, "Ho!"

Say, "Ho!"

And to let me know

I'm rockin' the microphone

Everybody say, "Ramon!"

Ramon!

A newspaper burns in the sand

And the headlines say, "Man destroys man"

Extra, extra, read all the bad news

On the war of peace

that everybody would lose

The rise and fall, the last great empire

The sound of the whole world caught on fire

The ruthless struggle, the desperate gamble

The game that left the whole world

in shambles

The cheats, the lies, the alibis

And the foolish attempt to conquer the skies

Lost in space, and what is it worth?

The President just forgot about Earth

Spendin' multi-billions

and maybe even trillions

The cost of weapons ran in the zillions

There's gold in the street

Diamonds under feet

And there's children in Africa don't even eat

Flies on their faces, they're living like mice

The houses even make the ghetto look nice

The water tastes funny,

it's forever too sunny

And they work all month

and don't make no money

A fight for power, a nuclear shower

People shout out in the darkest hour

At sights unseen and voices unheard

And finally the bomb gets the last word

Christians killed Muslims,

and Germans killed Jews

And everybody's bodies

are used and abused

Minds are poisoned and souls are polluted

Superiority complex is deep-rooted

Leeches and lices, and people got prices

Egomaniacs control the self-righteous

Nothing is sacred, and nothing is pure

So the revelation of death is our cure

Dachau, Auschwitz, Hiroshima

Vietnam, Leningrad, Iwo Jima

Okinawa, Korea, the Philippines

Devastation, death,

catch the killing machine

The people's in terror,

the leaders made an error

And now they can't even look in the mirror

'Cause we got to suffer

while things get rougher

And that's why we got to get tougher

So learn from the past

and work for the future

And don't be a slave to no computer

'Cause the children of man inherit the land

And the future of the world is in your hands

So just throw your hands in the air

And wave them like you just don't care

And if you believe that you're the future

Scream it out and say, "Yeah!"

Yeah!

Everybody, do you believe?

Yeah!

Do you believe?

Let me hear you say, "Yeah!"

Believe it

Believe it

They buried us

So we became a flower, believe it

Believe it

They gave us nothing

So we took power, believe it

Believe it

They tried to break us

And now we're the breakers, believe it

Believe it

We come from the ashes

The movers and shakers

Believe it

Now we're going on

We're the hip-hop

Now we're going on

We're gonna take you to the top

Now we're going on

We can't stop, believe it

Strut, strut

Break it down, break it down

We are the harvest of a bitter seed

Some of us fall

Some of us bleed

But we are the future

And we will succeed

Believe it

Believe it

We are the miracle

We are the strong

We are the right that came from wrong

We made hope into our song

Believe it

Believe it

I'm a Christian, a Muslim, a Hindu, a Jew

Believe it

I believe in me, I believe in you

Yes, I believe it, I do believe it

Yes, I believe it

Do you

believe it?
