Feel The Beat - Illogic

I been thinking about this, for a mighty long time

The condition of music, been weighing on my mind

We don’t know where we’re going, and don’t care where we’ve been so

The resistance is growing, in ways you can’t imagine so we

Can’t stop 'til this stronghold breaks

Must act now, no time to wait

No more handouts, it’s time to take

A stand and redefine our place

See I been thinking about this, for a mighty long time

The condition of music, been weighing on my mind

You see these kids they listen, and wanna be what they see so

We all have a mission, it’s our responsibility

To give them something that will teach

More than drugs and life in the streets

They’re not too far, our arms can reach

Life and death is in the words we speak

See I been thinking about this, for a mighty long time

The condition of music, been weighing on my mind

It’s weighing on my mind

It’s weighing on my mind

Gotta feel the beat

Ya gotta feel the beat

Ya gotta feel the beat

Ya gotta feel the beat

See I been thinking about this, for a mighty long time

The condition of music, it’s weighing on my mind

All we preach is violence, and wonder why we’re dying

Or life’s just a party, it’s all Patron and Bacardi

But there’s just so much we can say

If we shine bright, they’ll find their way

Don’t wait for tomorrow, take a chance today

‘cause at this age, their mind’s all clay

See I been thinking about this, for a mighty long time

The condition of music, it’s weighing on my mind

We don’t respect our women, but through them life is given

Think about the life you’re living, would your mom be proud or would she

Shed tears when she hears your songs

Wondering where did she go wrong?

You don’t have to be an industry pawn in the game of control that’s centuries

long

See I’ve been thinking about this, for a mighty long time

The condition of music, it’s weighing on my mind

Gotta feel the beat

Gotta feel the beat

Gotta feel the beat

Gotta feel the beat
