Rebel Diaz - Canto lyrics

[Intro: Fred Hampton] So we say, we always say in the Black Panther Party That they can do anything they want to to us We might not be back, I might be in jail I might be anywhere But when I leave, you can remember I said That the last words on my lips were that I am a revolutionary! [Hook] For the love of revolution For the life that I lead Y es por eso que yo canto Con la familia que yo quiero For my beautiful niece Y es por eso que yo canto For the future of the youth That remind me of me Y es por eso que yo canto Para Chile, for Chicago For the kids in hallseez (?) Y es por eso que yo canto [Verse 1] I dedicate this to them kids That remind me of me Those rebellious motherf**ers That I call MCs It's them kids on the corners, in them circles Spitting rhythms, ripping cyphers Smoking purples and state(??), they still children Buying 40s, giving money to the kid with ID Six heads on one blunt But they sharing the weed f** school, they told jokes And they never took notes All they did was fill their notebooks With some marvelous flows Staring out the window Daydreaming of shows The limelight The right life How they bound to blow And it's a dream that they all share Who gonna get there? I found a reason for my rapping I ain't gonna fake it I want a crib for my moms On the beach in (??) Y es por eso que yo canto I want to open up a school In the Bronx by the river Y es por eso que yo canto I'll be happy with a crib And some land in the back Y es por eso que yo canto Sit back, smoke in the air Dip and cognac Y es por eso que yo canto [Verse 2] Sipping water out the wine gla** Smile on my face Funny farmers hat on To keep the sun out my face I'll be content with teaching children And building the young struggle If hip hop organized The whole world would be in trouble Bush, run for cover You be getting bum rushed We'll get Bambaataa as the President We all gon' crush It's graffiti on the wall But it's not advertising Just a warning from the youth About the future uprising It's not surprising That we seeking freedom I don't believe 'em I'll be happy with a Cavalier Like my dad drove A living room with chandeliers And a matching carpet I choose to rap cause sometimes It's my only option It's my freedom of expression It's the voice of the oppressed Y es por eso que yo canto It's the power of the word Man, you gotta use it Y es por eso que yo canto [Verse 3] Cause I truly do believe That I'm the seed of revolution I rap, therefore I am Part of the vocal contribution To the call that's worldwide Fight the struggle within Organize, read books Practice discipline Use the culture as a weapon That's unknown to them Speak slang in a language That's code to them Make music, breakdance Write your name on the wall Write a paper theorizing How they k**ed Biggie Smalls 2Pac and Malcolm X How they k**ed them all Be a leader on the block You taking over the game But instead of g**ning And acting selfish You like a Panther in the morning Serving breakfast [Hook]
