I was at a concert the other day (maroon5 and gavin degraw) and the opening act was a guy named Michael Tolcher... None of his lyrics were on the internet for his songs because he's not popular, so I listened to this song about 2000 times to get it. You might be able to download it or listen to it at www.michaeltolcher.com... I remember listening to it during the concert and thinking the political message (especially during the fast "white rap" section in the middle) was rather cool and that I could share it.
Be a part of an institution Lead the way in a revolution Wear a wig and a permanent smile Be a part of a celebration Make the plan or the cancellation Quick decisions, let’s change our minds
There’s people out there It’s people we are Just faces From different places Drinking juice from mason jars
I’m on a mission responsible Say your goodbyes
Be a father of no relation or Be a symbol for procreation Strike a match and there’s sure to be fire Be a part of your situation and Blame yourself for your frustration Dig a hole till you lose your desire
There’s people out there It’s people we are Just names Playing different games Drinking Coke and eating candy bars
I’m on a mission responsible Say your goodbyes I’m finding anything’s possible Closing your eyes Closing your eyes Closing your eyes
Be a part of your own decision And see your future with tunnel vision Take a chance if you want to survive (You wanna survive, don’t ya?) Be the talk a conversation You’re a superstar out of isolation Get the keys it’s your turn to drive
There’s people out there It’s people we are Just voices With different choices Smokin’ dope and rockin’ our guitars
I’m on a mission responsible Say your goodbyes I’m finding anything’s possible Closing your eyes
Well I’ll put it all to rest And all this shit is on my chest And every time I turn around I don’t see trees fallin’ down into something that we should buy I’d rather have the oxygen Well I’m sure you would agree although you seem to fight with me But there’s a situation here that doesn’t seem to wanna disappear And another world won’t go away And we must do something Now people not tomorrow, yesterday If there’s something that ain’t right here then it’s never too late To make a change, understand, if there’s work to be done Then it starts with number one That’s you, so smile, but please don’t believe the only lie and eat the government cheese This shit is poison, it kills your mind and your soul, and we have lost control
Now you see that we can’t go along If I can see it in the eyes of world leaders and they’re all wrong And every single word that they write And that’s what I’m gonna fight to survive It’s my only desire to elevate the spirit And cultivate the higher Rhythms and rhymes when livin’ is blind And an act of reality is tried up in your mind
Freedom
I’m on a mission responsible Say your goodbyes
