Lowkey - I Still Believe lyrics
rate me[Intro - Lowkey]
This is unity this is the real versus the fake.
This is the substance versus the image.
This is the equality of all versus the supremacy of some.
Lowkey Akala Black The Ripper lets make history!
[Verse 1 - Lowkey]
I believe in equality freedom and honesty
I believe that I’m a born leader so follow me
This tune can touch you deep what can it do for love and peace?
Forget the color of your skin we’re all just humans underneath.
But we were conditioned to be ashamed of intelligence.
Take pride in your brain it’s your chain that’s irrelevant.
These monsters on the mic chatting nonsense in their rhymes.
Forget your wallet and your ride what’s the contents of your mind?
You better listen when I tell the television tricks you well.
Don’t let them dictate to you the definition of yourself.
‘Cos when it’s said and done the products are all irrelevant.
And a man who stands for nothing will fall for anything.
The threats to keep you dumb but don’t mentally succumb.
Take steps to reach your son ’till your legacy is done.
We are set to see a better dream eventually will come.
The equality of all and the supremacy of none!
I believe I believe
[Chorus]
I believe my future’s gonna’ bring me greater things yes I believe!
I believe we can be anything it aint impossible it’s easy to achieve.
Aint nothing wrong you can chase your dreams. Make your moves and take the lead.
I believe we can do anything yes I believe!
[Akala]
Yo yo yo yo.
I believe in truth no matter who is speaking it.
And of course I believe in justice no matter who’s receiving it.
Believing almost nothing I am told is the status quo.
‘Cos history shows how the lies un-fold.
I believe we can use the term conspiracy theory.
To discredit inconvenient ideas without the slightest query.
Not that they’re necessarily correct but the world we have created is one that’s blatantly tamed to regurgitate hatred.
The ones at the top think we’re pawns here for their controlling.
It’s about maintaining the privilege that they’ve already stolen.
But we the people can feel our consciousness is changing.
So no matter how they brutalize they cannot restrain it.
I believe every child’s a born genius they’re just taught how now to be and place barriers between us.
I don’t believe in human nature just conditioned behavior
I don’t believe your oppressor ‘cos the devil would never be your savior.
[Chorus]
I believe my future’s gonna’ bring me greater things yes I believe!
I believe we can be anything it aint impossible it’s easy to achieve.
Aint nothing wrong you can chase your dreams. Make your moves and take the lead.
I believe we can do anything yes I believe!
[Black the Ripper]
Sampson Sampson yeah.
I believe in making money and investing.
I believe in God but religion that’s a next thing.
Terrorism and recession was made to force us into submission
now look every bodies’ stressin’.
It’s a deadly weapon gotta’ stay two steps ahead of ‘em.
I’m like Nat Turner with a big strap I’m deading them.
born and raised in Edmonton but the struggle’s universal.
So in the hood trust is minimal ‘cos anyone can hurt you.
I believe in my talent so I use it.
Prayin’ one day real music can move units.
We do this but we aint appealing to little school kids that’s why labels think we’re intimidating bullshit!
I prefer the word educated
yes I’m rated but sometimes I feel underestimated.
I’m only 23 rebelling in this crazy city. I can’t do this by myself I need you lot to change it with me.
I believe
[Chorus]
[Outro - Lowkey]
So there you have it.
If you’re sick of these DJ’s playing the same 20 songs over and over again text them email them. Tell them to start playing the realness.
Peace and love.
