[Verse 1: Simplex] Music to live by a soundtrack submitted to life Whether you live right or bound to ominous strife Protesting a war with placards marching for peace Or k**ing for a religion living to die for beliefs Music to die for or just song they play at your wake To my them cry more reminders of worthy mistakes So what you fight for love or pa**ion envy or hate This music is our core, gravity to set us in place Whether an eye for an eye or a score calm a beast From jungle communication to the struggle in the streets If a picture could conjure a thousands words of human speech Then a beat could move millions of people onto there feet We're born, we live we die, goodbye end of seasons But songs out live our lives so why finds beliefs In the melody's where upon the music is bound Where reality transcends into the movement of sound [Hook:] When I was a child, I'd sing music to live by! Now that I am grown, I'd sing music to die for! [Verse 2: Mic Lez] Music to live by the sound of the streets combined in chorus As the ticking of the clock on its own would only bore us To violence too much silence is harming the harmony Believing everything we hears a part of everything we see Music to die for whether it's war or tragedy a certain tune healing wounds Of what didn't have to be, though scars will never heal Some bars can give the will, it all starts with how you feel Cause it charts don't make it real But still, each to their own like ba** and treble levels For some it's funk or jazz while others it heavy metal It's all in the mental playing with your mind stuck on loop Terra firma Simbiotic instrumentals be the proof You choose, so many tracks that fit any occasion Uplifting songs to start the day or a lullaby for the days end Make no mistaking to be a superstar what it's not It's about doing what feels right with the only thing I've got [Hook:] When I was a child, I'd sing music to live by! Now that I am grown, I'd sing music to die for! [Verse 3: Raph A.L.] Music to live by for when your life be falling down the sink Loose it and you'll cry so it's all you got left you think your on the brink So morals fly by like sound waves that ride on past your ears Use it to stick by your values f** impressing all your peers?? Music to keep real culture intact respecting the past Loose it and you will for ever be forgotten got in last you Know they will steal every chance they get behind your back They know it's your meal?? you know the deal don't stand for this attack Music to die for metaphors using for relevance Now making sense intelligence not relevant living the consequence Hence the stance I've taken heaven sent the tools for breaking Laws society be creating, through this music that we're making Undertaking the responsibility using the ability choosing to be really be Revolutionary literally So we can all see this culture be full of pride with no lies I don't abuse it but choose it cos this music I live by [Hook:] When I was a child, I'd sing music to live by! Now that I am grown, I'd sing music to die for!
