[Akala - Sixteen 16's | Ep. 14 lyrics]
I was six years old when
I first heard Public Enemy
I knew in an instant me and
Hip-hop was meant to be
Shivers down my spine hearing a rhyme
Goosebumps on my skin and the feeling within
All the pain and the rage that
The music was cathartic for
You probably wouldn't know if you
Ain't seen the hardships before
Maybe you would
Maybe that's the beauty of it
Anyone, anywhere relate to the topic
Wu Tang came out with Shaolin philosophy
Bit of martial arts and some
Fruit from the knowledge tree
And hood tales, you know, poverty, robbery
Where childhood friends die for not much
Probably felt they made their songs for
My ears and fears cos boys like me were not
Allowed to cry tears
So here's a couple bars for them pioneers
Without you, you know we wouldn't be here
I first heard Public Enemy
I knew in an instant me and
Hip-hop was meant to be
Shivers down my spine hearing a rhyme
Goosebumps on my skin and the feeling within
All the pain and the rage that
The music was cathartic for
You probably wouldn't know if you
Ain't seen the hardships before
Maybe you would
Maybe that's the beauty of it
Anyone, anywhere relate to the topic
Wu Tang came out with Shaolin philosophy
Bit of martial arts and some
Fruit from the knowledge tree
And hood tales, you know, poverty, robbery
Where childhood friends die for not much
Probably felt they made their songs for
My ears and fears cos boys like me were not
Allowed to cry tears
So here's a couple bars for them pioneers
Without you, you know we wouldn't be here
