Xiuhtezcatl – Boombox Warfare lyrics

(feat. Jaden Smith)

I can feel the sound, I can feel the sound
[?]
We on our wave
We on our wave now, yea

I'm waking up today
I'm trying to stay cool
Two years grinding and I'm still in the same shoes
You couldn't say my name
Till the fame came due
Now every way we go people say to stay true
I'm getting criticism for this life I'm living

You should spend more time with message, and less with rhymes you've written
You shouldn't be rapper
Get out the studio

They don't understand that music makes this revolution grow
You see this rhythm speaks
Study the history
People singing songs of freedom while we marching in the street
Yes this is critical, this is my resistance
Artist hold more power than these crooked politician

This is Boombox Warfare
Gathering the cipher
Music draws the intersections make the circles wider
Cool the earth's climate when I'm spitting fire
Win our battles with a microphone to get the youth inspired
Truth is higher
More than a method of communication
Hip-hop culture is our greatest tool for liberation
Feel it in the waves of the music we steady making
A future generations walk the roads that we already paving

I can feel the sound reaching through the speakers
Rhythm of the movement
Revolution through the tweeters
Lift the generation up, move masses when the bass hits
I'mma touch the world with what started in the basement

I can feel the sound reaching through the speakers
Rhythm of the movement
Revolution through the tweeters
Lift your hands up, move masses when the bass hits
I'mma touch the world with what started in the basement

[?Teo?]
This is for the air I breathe (raising, raising)
I'm walking and I know my place
The revolution of the sound makes waves, yea
I'm a walking I'mma hold my space (raising, raising)

[Jaden Smith]
When I wake up in the morning and I see people suffering
I'm just like, what's in front of me?
No one cares if they're hungry
And they walking right over them
Cause their thinking 'they're under me'
I would look up at them as a child and be wondering
If I fly as a butterfly in my dream, or a bumblebee
As we going extinct, will we still live on in eternity
And the answers to questions I have, never have certainty
So I gathered the knowledge all on my own because learning free (I'm my own university)
It's the MSFTSrep courtesy, I can take a rhythm, chop it, turn it to surgery
I can go see Crow, and go play show up in Germany
What's with the books, the poetry, and the urgency

My homie just listen
It's the one world vision
The grand unification of life on earth
The mission is clear
So if you with it, baby we can get wit it
Me and X in the Basas just chillin' and we out

Boombox Warefare
Chillin' in the cipher
Bring it down low so we can get the people higher
Step one break free
Only the beginning
Gave it to the world and now
Everybody is singing

I can feel the sound reaching through the speakers
Rhythm of the movement
Revolution through the tweeters
Lift the generation up, move the masses when the bass hits
I'mma touch the world with what started in the basement

I can feel the sound reaching through the speakers
Rhythm of the movement
Revolution through the tweeters
Lift your hands up, move masses when the bass hits
I'mma touch the world with what started in the basement

This is Boombox Warefare
Gatherin' the cipher
Hyper that we spit this, it gets the people higher
In the streets we breaking beats on the pavement
Everybody singing that this music is a language
Language, Language
Music is a language (language)
Music is a language, yea
