Somehow Somewhere Someway

[Verse 1: Ty]
Coming from a tribe popularized by the deejays
Reaction what he plays will cause a heatwave
A knee-jerk reaction, you tell the body behave
It won't listen, the body moves, sweat glistens
The light bulb flicker, your heart beats quicker
It's kinda spiritual but we don't need a vicar
Shapes emerge on the dance floor
Words begin to get distorted
Not how they're recorded
The crowd heaves as a roar leaves the building
The right tune is played guaranteed to heal them
Heaven or hell depends on who you tell
And how the spirit moves you, some kind of juju
Even as sheep we sleep with sharp reminders
Finder's keepers and keeper's finders
Kill em with kindness or kill em with rhymes
Fresh out the box designed to bless the mind

[Chorus]
Somewhere somehow someway someday
Somewhere somehow someway someday

[Verse 2: Ty]
Captivated by the MP3
Don't know about the hard work
Don't know no MPC
You might see a video on MTV
But you won't ever hear an empty song for me
Full of [?]
See why you need to be vigilant
Often dismissed as belligerent
Some people say I'm cool, some would say I'm magnificent
I would say I'm me, I don't see the significance
I just can't resist the urge to bump fist with folks that understand
I'm not the solid man that bring the rubber bands
That hold the seams together
We're just not seen together
I hope you understand
We all rhyme through the microphone
Beats in your headphones
Bounce to the beat in your mind til you get home
Lyrics in your kitchen, lyrics in your iPhone
Lyrics in your bathtub, lyrics on your headstone

[Chorus]
Somewhere somehow someway someday (it's real)
Somewhere somehow someway someday

[Verse 3: Ty]
Irrespective of perspectives, I'm ready to roll
Down to fight the good fight, a citizen of the soul
A workaholic of words like coal miners with coal
I won't beg with a bowl, I won't do as I'm told
I don't follow the cold all up the yellow brick road
I got my own way of thinking, that's my ultimate goal
Been trying to find a way out since 7 years old
Teachers really have me blinking, spirits set to [?]
I see the ships sinking and the water is cold
Both oars are broken, both doors are shut closed
Growing up I learned patience, things began to make sense
The lies need to remain to keep the people the same
To justify the land grab, rifle in the sandbag
The diamond in the gold mine, the bible in the handbag
I remind my fam or my grandad
A chip on my shoulder, he used to be a soldier

[Chorus]
Somewhere somehow someway someday
Somewhere somehow someway someday

[Verse 4: Umar Bin Hassan]
We step from the mics and onto the street
The rhythm of our mission becomes our beat
The deejays, the spin masters are all involved
A human problem that must be solved
Your color, my color, it's all the same
Is there a difference in the meaning of fortune and fame?
Life and death in a tactical sequence
Apathy and temptation on the very same frequency
What moment, what part, what path must we take?
To languish in self-indulgence or for goodness sake
Our time, our struggle, our humanity
Our commitment to communicate or their insanity
A city called Ferguson and New York's finest
We must extract the pluses from the minus
Stay calm, stay focused and never cease
The quest is to live and let live so we all can breathe
Breathe
Breathe
