Same people (feat. Marissa Knight)-Gasoline

[00:00.992] Crowded in the corner of this dark smoke-filled room [00:04.026] The speakers loom [00:05.198] It's reminiscing of the ancient souls tomb [00:07.436] I feel this is a rite of passage [00:09.763] These blockades I break through [00:11.523] These stained mind states I've spoken to [00:13.460] I hope I've moved [00:18.005] With the base and the breakbeat behind us [00:20.713] Enlightened minds surrounding the mic [00:23.338] No spotlight waiting for the elements to align [00:24.857] Chronologically I'm in line peacefully, respectively [00:28.316] I'm waiting my time in my presence [00:31.589] Some anticipating, [00:32.196] some hating but mostly well-equipped MCs that'd be contemplating [00:36.055] It pleases me to take note of those worthy, [00:39.243] the ones who ain't worried to dig down deep and get their hands dirty [00:42.363] In the earthy top soil that we tread on [00:45.013] Walking through this dusty planet [00:47.079] Can't stand the fact that people be claiming [00:48.910] territory when all I know is my gravity is my music [00:51.908] We chose music, embrace, utilize it [00:53.766] In my midst, at least between musicians it provides an immunity [00:58.535] And creates a joint community [00:59.994] It's always a competition [01:01.794] Someone's on a mission for the best [01:03.751] Scratch [...] B-box and break rewind [01:07.568] Ultimately you decide what's at stake [01:11.283] {All surrounding me is what it takes to rise above [01:14.073] Rather than shun my rival, I give love to my equal element [01:21.969] We're all different bodies but we're still the same people} [01:23.281] All surrounding me is what it takes to rise above [01:27.292] Rather than shun my rival, I give love to my equal element [01:31.218] We're all different bodies but we're still the same people [01:34.731] Around two turntables and a mic abounds plenty [01:36.875] Many who don't look alike Puerto Rican, Black, White, Japanese [01:40.928] It amazes me that we all could be well-versed and well-equipped MCs [01:46.817] Choosing to express ourselves verbally [01:49.291] Ideas being turned out some being released diabolically [01:52.732] Transcending what we are viewed as focally [01:54.723] We mutate our world, melt in to poetry [01:58.433] Moving through this earth are crowds of bad attitudes [02:01.555] amidst the swollen heads I still enjoy solitude [02:04.371] Chosing to speak clearly if I speak and all [02:06.835] I'm carving out every word before I let it fall [02:12.176] My art is my only task in life [02:13.150] Rhyme with me, enjoy some metaphysical exercise [02:17.591] No need for any proof [02:19.172] Our art is imminent, holding more words than truth [02:21.837] All surrounding me is what it takes to rise above [02:24.658] Rather than shun my rival, I give love to my equal element [02:30.516] We're all different bodies but we're still the same people [02:33.481] All surrounding me is what it takes to rise above [02:36.325] Rather than shun my rival, I give love to my equal element [02:42.146] We're all different bodies but we're still the same people
