1
Lets try something new
2
It's been a long time coming
3
Let me try something brand new
4
Hey yo Ski
5
What you ever do, man?
6
Come on
7
Yo, what we doing it for?
8
This is for the day-trippers and the hipsters
9
Whores and the fashionistas
10
Spiritual leaders practicing law to laws of attraction
11
The teachers who read the passages
12
From the back of a G
13
That be bustin' off Dalai Lamas or flashing heaters
14
The last of the boosters
15
With the shooting, the thugging and all the booning and spooning
16
And all the crooning, and cooning and auto-tuning, you laugh
17
You be tellin', peddlin' to consumers I'm helping them to see through it
18
Get with this new movement,
19
Let's move it
20
Through the cold rain
21
Still I'm standing right here
22
Even on winter summer days
23
Yeah I'm a product of Reaganomics
24
From the blocks where they rocking a feds like J Electronica
25
Drop and make this lock
26
If the promise is where the heart is
27
Whether Jesus or Mohammad
28
Regardless of where the Mosque is (word)
29
They hope for the Apocalypse like self-fulfilling prophecy
30
Tell me when do we stop it?
31
Do they ask you your religion before you rent an apartment?
32
Is the answer burning Korans
33
So that we can defend Islamics?
34
The end upon us with a hash tag, a trended topic
35
You take away the freedoms that we invite in the game
36
Then you disrespect the soldiers; you ask them to die in vain
37
In a desert praying for rain
38
The music's like a drug, and they tend to take it to vein
39
It ain't for the well-behaved
40
The soundtrack for when you're great, but its more for when you've felt afraid
41
More than your average rapper
42
So you sort of felt the way
43
The brain is like a cage, you a slave and that's why they lovin'
44
This the book that Eli that start with a K-W
45
Through the cold rain
46
Still standing right here
47
Even on winter summer days
48
Through the cold rain
49
Still standing right here
50
Even on winter summer days
51
I do it for the trappers, other rappers
52
The backpackers, the crackers
53
The niggas, the metal-packers
54
The victims of ghetto factories
55
I do it for the families, citizens of humanity
56
Emcee's, endangered species like manatees
57
I do it for the future of my children
58
They the hope for the hopeless
59
Karma approaches, we gon' be food for a flock of vultures
60
The end of the world
61
Ain't nothing left but the cockroaches
62
And the freedom fighters
63
We're freedom writers like Bob Moses
64
The chosen, freedom writers like Voltaire
65
For my block, my borough, my hood, my city, my state, yeah
66
My obligation to my community is so clear
67
Yeah, we gotta save them, this opportunity so rare
68
We do it so big over here that it's no bare
69
To the punks, bitches, the chumps, the snitches, the sneak in the game
70
We let them live although they're weak and they're lame
71
The bozo's and joker's, promoting when they're speaking my name
72
Through the cold rain
73
Still standing right here
74
Even on winter summer days
