Miracles

We used to dream about changing the world With a style that was universal Real and commercial Heal and immerse you in the waters Tired of seeing lost black sons and daughters But in '94 we slipped a notch, no juice over the years Couldn't piss the pot Hip hop went insane but ten years later, back in the game C'mon, push up the faders 'cause we believe in miracles I believe in miracles, yeah yeah I believe in you And Harriet Tubman would tell us Don't stop, y'all get down, just rock, y'all get down We're made of more than this Don't let 'em define us Don't let 'em confine us We're warriors From the underground railroads we sneaked through swamps To sit VIP in a restaurant Hill Side projects, get down North Side project, get down They give us platinum medallions to cover our hearts Keep us far away from the most powerful parts of us 'Cause if they keep us looking outside Then we won't bother looking inside I'm too old a dude to be scared of flopping We're from the old school, this is real hip hopping And we talk about what we see, won't dumb it down 'Cause I ain't around dumb company We smarter than this And we can come harder than this And do a brag rap on the next song on the disc 'Cause right now you know you're all in the midst of miracles I believe in miracles, yeah yeah I believe in you B-boy, Filipinos, Asians, Latinos, you feel me as I kick this stee-lo? Cyphers 'round the world got a knife around the neck of the world But only demanding respect and girls What a waste of power, hip hop in the most powerful hour Like Babel we're building our tower But we got a chance, while the whole world's under our trance Who's gonna use it so the folks can advance 'Cause we believe in miracles I believe, I believe in you, take me higher I believe in miracles, yeah yeah I believe in you
