positive movement - mthds lyrics

[chorus]
never in my life did i imagine there’d be peace
in a world of poverty and constant tragedy
then i found music and i used it as release
started a movement spreading positivity

[verse 1]
late ’98, beats boomin out the box
couple cats on the porch plus a party down the block
rollin’ to the spot just to cop a couple gershes
another cherry slurpee just to curb the thirst
it’s the third of july and the vibe is live
searchin’ for ass and gas money to drive
down ’cause the soundtrack was biggiе and nas
plus we found that the town would be listеnin’ while
we chill and park and spark after rollin’ to the packy
askin’ all the down cats for forties shoulder tappin’
countin’ up our quarters by the corner store and laughin’
’cause we diggin’ through back seat in old mcdonald’s wrappers
a happier chapter, never thought it would happen
even though we low on cash phillies, we’re crackin’
still, it’s a fact i reminisce on sh*t daily
but listen to this: it’s truly music that saved me

[chorus]
never in my life did i imagine there’d be peace
in a world of poverty and constant tragedy
then i found music and i used it as release
started a movement spreading positivity
[verse 2]
back in ’89, michael jackson blew my mind
at the tender age of nine, i could feel it in my spine
in my back, i could feel it in my cardiac
“thriller,” “off the wall,” and “bad,” every song a party track
then in ’94, i heard my first bob marley track
felt the natural mystic, hittin’ spliffs with rastafari hats
skipping classes that i hardly passed
pinching girlies’ asses after parties that would hardly last
outkast, mobb deep and bobby digital
blowin’ out the speakers in chip’s jeep like it was ritual
flowin’ in the streets, freestylin’ was habitual
critical, kickin’ ridicule was clinical
pitiful how hip*hop was overshadowed
by focusing the public scope on biggie/2pac battles
the truth is youth are influenced by music and its message
step aside and let us speak our minds until we’re breathless

[chorus]
never in my life did i imagine there’d be peace
in a world of poverty and constant tragedy
then i found music and i used it as release
started a movement spreading positivity

[bridge]
movement’s begun, but hard work to be done
’cause we went from the underdogs to number one
struggle’s a fact of life, hustle and sacrifice
enough of the afterlife, i want it now despite setbacks
forget that, ‘stead of waitin’
be the change in your community, the new generation
the music in you, a positivity catalyst
even john lennon woulda never imagined this
[chorus]
never in my life did i imagine there’d be peace
in a world of poverty and constant tragedy
then i found music and i used it as release
started a movement spreading positivity

[guitar solo]

[outro]
started a movement spreading positivity
started a movement spreading positivity
started a movement spreading positivity
started a movement spreading positivity

[chorus]
never in my life did i imagine there’d be peace
in a world of poverty and constant tragedy
then i found music and i used it as release
started a movement spreading positivity

[chorus]
never in my life did i imagine there’d be peace
in a world of poverty and constant tragedy
then i found music and i used it as release
started a movement spreading positivity
[outro]
started a movement spreading positivity
started a movement spreading positivity
started a movement spreading positivity
started a movement spreading positivity
