Dear GOD I wanna be, a Conscious Rappa Spit the Truth to the ma**es 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 k**ed 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 Ma** 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 cla**es 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! Thanks to The Elders: KRS ONE, Chuck D, Afrika Bambaataa, Kool DJ Herc, etc
