The Movement
[Hook]
'Cause it’s the movement, we use it to build the culture
And before we die, gotta kill these vultures
'Cause they circle and wait for the art to die
But we can’t save shit if we don’t start to try
[Verse 1: Qusai]
As I’m looking back at the hip hop days when music used to be
A creative expression and a message for you and me
But now, I see, the community is lost
Attracting crowds like puppets by letting them pay unlimited costs
I’m living and ready to die for what I believe in
The purpose supporting and the goals we’re achieving
So, I walk around with a trash can
'Cause there’s a lot of garbage around to dump nowadays, man
[Verse 2: D-Light]
I push lyrics through my spirit and distribute to thousands
To the hood, suburbs, and the public housing
Anybody with a boombox who cops hip hop
Try to keep it crisp hot, burnin' and scorching
Enforcin' laws and the rules of the game
Changed up, it's the life fight who remains
All the people on the rise, that'll die for this
You can't kill what it is real, I survive and spit
[Verse 3: Malachi]
His beginning was the word
And the word was positive
Not exactly gospel but truth, it had gotta hit
Singing songs of paying god
They appreciated me for what I has
[?]
The world was led to Malachi, now that's low
But by the grace of he, we moving on
Though we seldomly hid the voice and freedom in our songs
Spinnin' wheels and plates
In other words we wastin' breath
When we get to Revelations, realize there's nothin' level
[Verse 4: X:144]
Blah, stop the rigor mortis [?]
[?] our culture off [?] curse off the Latin
Of us falling off the access on accident
And put them price under you talent
So we can [?] nigga
Mad since your at
Since objected to pay them taxes
Crating out to throw your Glock
Sister focus on the object of their mo
Tipped your flow[?], face down in the river of the industries bio
[Verse 5: Swamburger]
Employees tossed to the side
I'd rather be giving you the benefit of the doubt
For matter, matter for states
[?] for the movement, and make they moods matter [?]
Utopia matters to reality's problem of facing dreams
'Cause I had a thing for reaching out to bring humility
[?] give 'em flows
To resurrect the reason of why these [?] make songs that prolong
[?] pushin' me to the point I'm back to asking why you so stagnant
[Hook]
'Cause it’s the movement, we use it to build the culture
And before we die, gotta kill these vultures
'Cause they circle and wait for the art to die
But we can’t save it if we don’t start to try
'Cause It’s the movement, we use it to build the culture
And before we die, gotta kill these vultures
'Cause they circle and wait for the art to die
But we can’t save shit if we don’t start to try
