Who Hears? (feat. Khemist)
It's only right that I show you myself
And the dance gon' tell you bout the rain
You know the feet gon' kick up all the dirt
And the dirt gon' tell you 'bout the pain
And the sound only permeates the world
'Cause we rode on so many of its waves
From a land where they can barely handle one
Of the twelve bars in the blues from which I came
To re-blacken the stories of my blood
In a war for my kind of have a say
On a plane where most in the rooms
Told our stories through the white gaze
So here hears the art of the east?
Who translates the sound on the page
To break through with the truth they avoided
For so long is to bring the world a new day
Why the songs of the time?
In your heart, on your mind?
Who hears, who hears?
Who hears, you hear!
I can take you to heights!
Change ya life, show you right!
Who hears, who hears
Who hears, you hear!
Move with the moments in time
Give organized sound a face
Know why the groove had arrived
Know why we dance in this place
This ain't inferior to none
A fat truth some tried to escape
I come from the spirituals sung
And all that jazz made us a way
They say we ain't art or we ain't great
Now look at what I forced academia to say
My unapologetic attitude couldn't be erased
Contributed to the way that musicology was shaped
It's felt in the streets, and in the Ivy Leagues
You can't deny the facts it makes you feel a way
The music touch your soul, it's no time to waste
So get up and move inside this new day
Why the songs of the time?
In your heart, on your mind?
Who hears, who hears?
Who hears, you hear!
I can take you to heights!
Change ya life, show you right!
Who hears, who hears
Who hears, you hear!
And the dance gon' tell you bout the rain
You know the feet gon' kick up all the dirt
And the dirt gon' tell you 'bout the pain
And the sound only permeates the world
'Cause we rode on so many of its waves
From a land where they can barely handle one
Of the twelve bars in the blues from which I came
To re-blacken the stories of my blood
In a war for my kind of have a say
On a plane where most in the rooms
Told our stories through the white gaze
So here hears the art of the east?
Who translates the sound on the page
To break through with the truth they avoided
For so long is to bring the world a new day
Why the songs of the time?
In your heart, on your mind?
Who hears, who hears?
Who hears, you hear!
I can take you to heights!
Change ya life, show you right!
Who hears, who hears
Who hears, you hear!

Who hears, you hear!

Change ya life, show you right!
Who hears, who hears
Who hears, you hear!
