[Intro: Lowkey]
|
This is unity, this is the real versus the fake.
|
This is the substance versus the image.
|
This is the equality of all versus the supremacy of some.
|
Lowkey, Akala, Black The Ripper, let's make history!
|
|
[Verse 1: Lowkey]
|
I believe in equality, freedom and honesty.
|
I believe that I'm a born leader so follow me.
|
This tune can touch you deep, what can it do for love and peace?
|
Forget the color of your skin, we're all just humans underneath.
|
But, we were conditioned to be ashamed of intelligence.
|
Take pride in your brain, it's your chain that's irrelevant.
|
These monsters on the mic chatting nonsense in their rhymes.
|
Forget your wallet and your ride, what's the contents of your mind?
|
You better listen when I tell the television tricks you well.
|
Don't let them dictate to you the definition of yourself.
|
'Cause when it's said and done the products are all irrelevant.
|
And a man who stands for nothing will fall for anything.
|
The choice to keep you dumb, but don't mentally succumb.
|
Take steps to reach your son, 'till your legacy is done.
|
We are set to see a better dream, eventually will come.
|
The equality of all and the supremacy of none!
|
|
I believe!
|
[Chorus:]
|
I believe my future's gonna' bring me greater things, yes, I believe!
|
I believe we can be anything, it ain't impossible it's easy to achieve.
|
Ain't nothing wrong, you can chase your dreams. Make your moves and take the lead.
|
I believe we can do anything, yes, I believe!
|
|
[Verse 2: Akala]
|
Yo, yo, yo, yo.
|
I believe in truth, no matter who is speaking it.
|
And of course I believe in justice, no matter who's receiving it.
|
Believing almost nothing, I am told is the status quo.
|
'Cause history shows how the lies un-fold.
|
I believe we can use the term conspiracy theory.
|
To discredit inconvenient ideas without the slightest query.
|
Not that they're necessarily correct but the world we have created is one that's blatantly tamed to regurgitate hatred.
|
The ones at the top think we're pawns here for their controlling.
|
It's about maintaining the privilege that they've already stolen.
|
But, we, the people can feel our consciousness is changing.
|
So, no matter how they brutalize they cannot restrain it.
|
I believe every child's a born genius, they're just taught how now to be and place barriers between us.
|
I don't believe in human nature, just conditioned behavior
|
I don't believe your oppressor, 'cause the devil would never be your savior.
|
|
I believe my future's gonna' bring me greater things, yes, I believe!
|
I believe we can be anything, it ain't impossible it's easy to achieve.
|
Ain't nothing wrong, you can chase your dreams. Make your moves and take the lead.
|
I believe we can do anything, yes, I believe!
|
|
[Verse 3: Black the Ripper]
|
Sampson, Sampson, yeah.
|
I believe in making money and investing.
|
I believe in God but religion, that's a next thing.
|
Terrorism and recession was made to force us into submission, now look every bodies' stressin'.
|
It's a deadly weapon, gotta' stay two steps ahead of 'em.
|
I'm like Nat Turner, with two straps I'm deading them.
|
I was born and raised in Edmonton, but the struggle's universal.
|
So in the hood trust is minimal 'cause anyone can hurt you.
|
I believe in my talent so I use it. Prayin' one day real music will move units.
|
We do this but we ain't appealing to little school kids that's why labels think we're intimidating, that's bullshit!
|
I prefer the word educated, yes I'm rated but sometimes I feel underestimated.
|
I'm only 23 rebelling in this crazy city. I can't do this by myself I need you lot to change it with me.
|
I believe!
|
|
[Outro: Lowkey]
|
So there you have it.
|
If you're sick of these DJ's playing the same 20 songs over and over again, text them, email them. Tell them to start playing the realness.
|
Peace and love.
