Lyrics

I gave hip hop to white boys when nobody was looking
Found it locked in a basement when they gentrified Brooklyn
Left a list of instructions, MPC and a mic
My sci-fi library and utensils to write
Right or wrong, I think hip hop is where it belongs
Where it comes from is wrong but some we wrote in songs
It was a ploy, got fools tied up in mechanized toys
We are beings of breath, beyond the beings of boys
Now you can break all you wanna
Scratch all you wanna
Grab all you wanna
Laugh all you wanna
But I wanna show you what the stars are made of
I wanna show you the stars
So substitute the anger and oppression with guilt and depression
And it's yours, it's yours
Substitute the anger and oppression with guilt and depression
And it's yours, it's yours
White boys listen to white boys
Black boys listen to black boys
No one listen to no one
No one listen to no one
Alone on a mountaintop, uprooted from the Earth
Drifting beyond normalcy, a gold piece in God's purse
It's worthless here, we're Earth-less here
God versus fear, man versus fear
Fear not, I purse my lips and kiss like a Glock
Violence is a metaphor for victory's plot
Change is inevitable but our death is not
Now you can break all you wanna
Scratch all you wanna
Grab all you wanna
Laugh all you wanna
But I wanna show you what the stars are made of
I wanna show you the stars
So substitute the anger and oppression with guilt and depression
And it's yours, it's yours
Substitute the anger and oppression with guilt and depression
And it's yours
Hey, hey, hey, everybody
Hey, hey, hey
I wanna show you what the stars are made of
I wanna show you what the stars are made of
I wanna show you what the stars are made of
I wanna show you the stars
So substitute the anger and oppression with guilt and depression
And it's yours, it's yours
Substitute the anger and oppression with guilt and depression
And it's yours
