Feel The Beat

[Verse 1]
I been thinking about this, for a mighty long time
The condition of music, been weighing on my mind
We don’t know where we’re going, and don’t care where we’ve been so
The resistance is growing, in ways you can’t imagine so we
Can’t stop ’til this stronghold breaks
Must act now, no time to wait
No more handouts, it’s time to take
A stand and redefine our place
See I been thinking about this, for a mighty long time
The condition of music, been weighing on my mind
You see these kids they listen, and wanna be what they see so
We all have a mission, it’s our responsibility
To give them something that will teach
More than drugs and life in the streets
They’re not too far, our arms can reach
Life and death is in the words we speak
See I been thinking about this, for a mighty long time
The condition of music, been weighing on my mind
It’s weighing on my mind
It’s weighing on my mind

[Refrain]
Gotta feel the beat
Ya gotta feel the beat
Ya gotta feel the beat
Ya gotta feel the beat

[Verse 2]
See I been thinking about this, for a mighty long time
The condition of music, it’s weighing on my mind
All we preach is violence, and wonder why we’re dying
Or life’s just a party, it’s all Patron and Bacardi
But there’s just so much we can say
If we shine bright, they’ll find their way
Don’t wait for tomorrow, take a chance today
‘cause at this age, their mind's all clay
See I been thinking about this, for a mighty long time
The condition of music, it’s weighing on my mind
We don’t respect our women, but through them life is given
Think about the life you’re living, would your mom be proud or would she
Shed tears when she hears your songs
Wondering where did she go wrong?
You don’t have to be an industry pawn in the game of control that's centuries long
See I’ve been thinking about this, for a mighty long time
The condition of music, it’s weighing on my mind

[Refrain]
Gotta feel the beat
Gotta feel the beat
Gotta feel the beat
Gotta feel the beat
