heart beat
you can’t kill the heartbeat
it’s startin to beat ya, it’ll start to teach ya, yea,
you can’t kill the heartbeat
the art, or freedom, the art of freedom, yea,
you can’t kill the heartbeat
the harder you beat us, the more that you feed us, yea,
you can’t kill the heart beat
the star keeps beamin, the heart keeps beatin, yea
never has a tyrant entirely silenced his defiance
nor a line of riot cops in time overrided the riots
never has revival of genocidal ideas triumphed
long enough, right, to quiet all of the fighters though they’ve always tried
even after years and centuries of treaties proven hollow
Wounded Knee and DAPL, see the Sioux uphold laws you don’t follow
even after Jackson, slave-catchers, Alabama, Laquan McDonald,
Watts, Holocausts, and Ayotzinapa, you can’t stop Hip Hop, no!
definitely not in any of my favorite spots in Chicago
in the city of John Vietnam, Haymarket Martyrs, DuSable,
every minute that I’m still breathin, best believe I’ma be following
where the wind blows, heart still beatin, feelin the flow of the Tao..
Oh,
you can’t kill the heartbeat
it’s startin to beat ya, it’ll start to teach ya, yea,
you can’t kill the heartbeat
the art, or freedom, the art of freedom, yea,
you can’t kill the heartbeat
the harder you beat us, the more that you feed us, yea,
you can’t kill the heart beat
the star keeps beamin, the heart keeps beatin, yea
[LO Kari]
Have you ever been hated?
Conversation / Know your color /
At this rate we're chasin /
Truth and light / but would leave your brother /
What more is to life?
I can't seem to shake this feelin
What's wrong is right
I'd rather focus on winning
Cuz every time I turn on the news
It's back to back to back that my people dyin
And it's a shame we pretend like
Every thing is fine and /
And what good is a lion
If they cut off your feet as a cub?
I do not fuck with your hugs
How can I trust you after all the things you've done
To people who look like us?
[Crowd]
you can’t kill the heartbeat, (Get up, stand up!)
you can’t kill the heartbeat, (Stand up for your rights!)
you can’t kill the heartbeat, (Get up, stand up!)
you can’t kill the heartbeat, (Don't give up the fight!)
of Mama Nature, Mama Mama Nature, (Cuz I never give up the fight!)
of Mama Nature, of Mama Nature! (Cuz I never give up the fight...)

(We Need) PEACE!
my people at war but they
don’t even know it so the poet’s got some more to say
this is a propaganda battle comin for your brain
cuz that’s the war terrain, we bout to storm it, rain,
cuz the perfect slavery’s chainless / the perfect traitor is blameless
the perfect racist ain’t hatred / it’s mind enslavement: the matrix
oppression came with and stays in the USA’s DNA
we gotta name it to change it but corporations are faceless
we gotta wake up the nation / mental emancipation
collective poeducation / infectious loving vibration
we need a visualization of life with no exploitation
human communication / we’re talkin real reparations! We need
PEACE! What’s that? That’s a lot to ask
when every piece of our society’s a robbery act,
where violence is the normal way of life, a common fact,
and then on top of that, our nature’s not in tact, we want
PEACE! What’s peace? Just a lack of war?
but what’s that even mean when we know what that’s actually for
is just to capture more, get a high capital score,
so the elite keep getting richer while they tax the poor, Hey,
ain’t THAT the War? Cuz that’s the bigger violence.
and isn’t the one biggest war the bigger silence
while they spout their lies to keep us all reliant,
they keep closing public schools, that’s more massive firings,
That’s WAR. And war is when there’s folks on the street,
on every block holdin a cup cuz they got nothing to eat
when there are women, children lyin, dyin, tryin to sleep
when people keep gettin beat, locked up and killed by police, we need
PEACE! I mean we need a whole new game
where everybody gets to eat and gets a home to stay in,
we can finally distribute water, clothes, education,
health care and make these basic needs society’s basis, that’s
PEACE, we’re talking Revolution now,
cuz that seems to be the one solution, how
else are we gonna feed the people who computers ousted
from their food and housing, are we human now? We want
PEACE! That means we need justice too,
that means democracy for everyone not just a few,
so we can turn our selfish culture into something new
I wonder could you trust in me, if I could trust in you? cuz that’s
PEACE, and that’s the overwhelming need,
not just lack of war but actually a mental leap
to finally becoming that which we were meant to be
we’re talking death and rebirth, you best believe, we need
PEACE! Yea / We want PEACE! Yea / We need
PEACE! Yea / We seek PEACE! Yea / We breathe
PEACE! Yea / We are PEACE!
PEACE!
PEACE!
PEACE!
PEACE!

Adam Gottlieb & OneLove recommends:
América -vs- Amerikkka
by Rebel Diaz
Fresh latin hip hop fusion telling a story of the epochal crossroads we have reached. Can't recommend this album highly enough to hip hop heads, latin music lovers, and revolutionaries everywhere.
go to album
One of the most profound albums I’ve heard in a long time. Grounded in struggle, with an arc that shows clear artistic integrity with an underlying spirituality, without ever preaching or ranting.
go to album
Such beautiful music. Intelligent songwriting and arrangements, clean production. Jazzy, spacious, classic. Feels like a musical descendent of Jamila Woods, Tracy Chapman, India Arie, and Akenya.
