Coolin' in the shade, yeah To all my emcees, djs, b-boys and writers Pullin all nighters tryna make it right Consider this a salute from yours truly, Asheru, the human beacon speaking truth to light It's about that time, it's about that time to get paid {While you were sleeping} It's about that time, it's about that time to get paid Coolin' in the shade, yeah To all my emcees, djs, b-boys and writers Pullin' all nighters tryna make it right Consider this a salute from yours truly Asheru, the human beacon, speaking truth to light Just keep doing your thing and represent for your culture Don't let nobody misrepresent you Like these cats who would rather you dumb your shit down For the masses than to rock for the intelligent few Sometimes I feel like we need a new definition of the words that define us Music that we love, maybe it's just because I got too much ambition and Wanna be more than just a thug in a club I traveled all over the world, wined and dined and had a good time With folks of every color and hue From my different conversations and combinations of experience I been able to change my worldview Hip hop is a universal language We all speak fluently and shapeshift to fit congruently Started in the Bronx around the same time I was born And now look, it's a worldwide community Built upon the foundations of peace, unity, love and havin' fun Word to Zulu Nation Cause these'll be the same principles that I'm a hand off to my son {I'm MC Asheru, know what I'm sayin, do it for old time's sake}
