Lyrics

Starvation is the creation of the devil, a rebel
 I'm bringin' food to the people like a widow
 Bringin' flowers to the grave in the middle
 Of the city isolation is a riddle
 To be surrounded by a million other people
 But feel alone like a tree in a desert
 Dried up like the skin of a lizard
 But full of color like the spots of a leopard
 Drum and bass pull me in like a shepherd
 Scratch my itch like a needle on a record
 Full of life like a man gone to Mecca
 Sky high like an eagle up soaring
 I speak low but I'm like a lion roaring
 Baritone like a Robeson recordin'
 I'm givin' thanks for bein' human
 Every morning, morning, morning
 Because the streets are alive with the sound of boom bap
 Can I hear it once again?
 Boom bap tell your neighbor, tell a friend
 Every flower gotta right to be bloomin'
 The streets are alive with the sound of boom bap
 Can I hear it once again
 Boom bap tell your neighbor, tell a friend
 Every flower got a right to be bloomin'
 Be resistant, the negativity we keep it at a distance
 Call for backup and I'll give you some assistance
 Like a lifesaver deep in the ocean
 Stay afloat here upon the funky motion
 Rock and roll upon the waves of the season
 Hold your breath and your underwater breathin'
 To be rhymin' without a real reason
 Is to claim but not to practice a religion
 If television is the drug of the nation
 Satellite is immaculate reception
 Beaming in they can look and they can listen
 So you see don't believe in the system
 To legalize you or give you your freedom
 You want rights ask em', they'll read em'
 But every flower got a right to be bloomin'
 Stay human
 Because the streets are alive with the sound of boom bap
 Can I hear it once again?
 Boom bap tell your neighbor, tell a friend
 Every flower gotta right to be bloomin'
 The streets are alive with the sound of boom bap
 Can I hear it once again?
 Boom bap tell your neighbor tell a friend
 Every flower got a right to be bloomin'
 Because all the freaky people make the beauty of the world
 All the freaky people make the beauty of the world
 All the freaky people make the beauty of the world
 All the freaky people make the beauty of the world
 Because all the freaky people make the beauty of the world
 We saw all the freaky people make the beauty of the world
 Stay human
 You see Y2K ya know is a moment
 In time we find that we can open
 Up a heart that's locked or been broken
 By the pain of words not spoken
 Or shot by guns a still smokin'
 Cart wrights out on the Ponderosa
 Or drive by bang in Testarossa
 We need to heed the words of Dalai Lama
 Or at least the words of yo mama
 Take a mental trip to the Bahamas
 Steam your body in a stereo sauna, sauna, comma
 Because the streets are alive with the sound of boom bap
 Can I hear it once again?
 Boom bap tell your neighbor, tell a friend
 Every flower gotta right to be bloomin'
 The streets are alive with the sound of boom bap
 Can I hear it once again?
 Boom bap tell your neighbor, tell a friend
 Every flower got a right to be bloomin'
 The streets are alive with the sound of boom bap
 Can I hear it once again?
 Boom bap tell your neighbor, tell a friend
 Every flower gotta right to be bloomin'
 The streets are alive with the sound of boom bap
 Can I hear it once again?
 Boom bap tell your neighbor, tell a friend
 Every flower got a right to be bloomin'
 Because all the freaky people make the beauty of the world
 All the freaky people make the beauty of the world
 All the freaky people make the beauty of the world
 All the freaky people make the beauty of the world
 All the freaky people make the beauty of the world
 Because all the freaky people make the beauty of the world
