Courage
I told my man, but he just wasn't hearing it,
I showed my fam, but they just wasn't seeing it.
And all my teachers, yo they just wasn't bringing it,
play on the cd, a few was rap singing it.
But on the radio, there's nobody saying shit,
and on the TV, y’all everyone was loving it.
I'd point the finger, but it's hard to criticize,
it's like magic right in front of your eyes.
I’m mesmerized by the…

Chorus
Treadmill of production,
where consumption, that’s your function.
Said it’s the treadmill of production,
mad consumption, that’s your function.

We're coming out swinging, we're coming out bringing the heat,
and where there's Smoke, there's fire on the beat.
We came to move your mind, but we'll start it with your feet,
I said we'll start it with a party then we'll riot in the streets.
What do you expect from the son of former hippies?
I simply carry with me the spirit of the 60's.
And take solace in all of the small victories,
if all of y’all are with me, we'll stand tall eventually.
It takes time, but we've come a long way,
underground, underdogs, understand when we say:
We will not be defeated by these bottom feeders,
you know you're doing something right when you got
them heated.
Call their bluff and watch them fold like a cheap suit,
ctrl, alt, delete these motherfuckers and reboot.
We break down your brick walls as fast as you can build them,
parents buy our CDs, and burn them for their children.

Courage
Compromised dreams and nefarious goals,
my people walk a rugged path with their heritage stole.
Turned around before I found no rabbit down in that hole,
just nightmares of the illuminati taking my soul.
Hypocritical, and fear I've done more ill than good,
Courage living generation once removed from the hood.
Let's be honest, aint nobody got no time for the trees,
when they're fending off extinction like the birds and the bees.
Shit, where's the love son, I’m sifting through these planets and stars,
still my universe stay colder than Mars.
Y'all kept me up to date and educated, latest diamonds and cars,
luxury design, tailor-made, and Cuban cigars.
Heard a nigga built a cell block out of sixteen bars,
tried to run a hundred miles but did not get far.
Superficial emcees already know who you are,
our fate revolving like a binary star.
