Sabzi - Universal Language lyrics

Verse 1: It started when I was just a couple years old I heard the rhythm of my Father And it touched my soul I wanted to do the same thing And beat the drums Because every time I heard that rhythm played I went numb I wanted to be that man A musician Guitar rocking, hip hop talking Here started my ambition I started writing lyrics I wanted to promote peace Love was delivered I started my journey out on the streets I was tired of being bullied I was tired of seeing hate I wrote a song called the X Project In which was aimed to motivate The kids that were neglected Who felt rejected Sad and infected My goal was to change the world And I was only 11 I started this journey because of leaders who taught me Martin, Malcolm, Janis, Jimmy and Ray Charles on the keys Yuri Kochiyama in the background Was the person holding Malcolm, when he laid dying on that ground See these people are a movement I would have never known who they were If it wasn't for this beautiful music Lyrically inclined with positive outlets Why do people abuse it I'm not them, I will not refuse it Chorus: This right here is my Sales Pitch We need to appreciate our Universal Language (2x) Music is a movement Music is History Music can help us face All of our realities This right here is my Sales Pitch We need to appreciate our Universal Language (2x) (1:22 – 1:45) Verse 2: (1:55 – 1:09) Since the Romanticism era Automatism is at it's finest Or is it betrayal in the movement Like Iscariot after Lions Now we need to be silent (4:33) But we keep marching forward And never stop moving our feet Music it has power If you allow to hear the words That does not mean to just listen to a chorus Listen to the verse I know when I'm down It has an effect To heal what hurts Have you noticed My biggest hobby Is going to concerts It relieves the stress That's inside of me every single day It moves my conscious With the messages the songs convey But I know Im not the only one That feels this way This is the ma** effect After Renditions are played Music holds medicinal values It heals the mind body and soul Other times it takes me on a journey That I need to go But this is why I'm here This is why I'm doing it It influenced me to make music Now I'm pursuing it Chorus: This right here is my Sales Pitch We need to appreciate our Universal Language (2x) Music is a movement Music is History Music can help us face All of our realities This right here is my Sales Pitch We need to appreciate our Universal Language (2x)
