Strength of a Nation Vol. 1

Track: 7
Title: Hip Hop Nation
Artist: Prophecy feat. Alyze Elyse

Represent the Hip-Hop Nation
Without hesitation bringin you a true sensation
All you do is tune to the station request for rotation
Less stress for your elation
Arrival at the point of no return
Survival or we burn
Revival now we learnin how to earn
Everything entitled to the masses
Now we toastin glasses seein flashes
Holdin stashes given lashes
With rubber hoses to those who opposes
part the sea like Moses composes
music and let the people use it
infuse it don’t refuse it or confuse it
as I loose it and get ill like a sickness
hit you quickness in the way I spit this
with swiftness I dismiss all the myths and shed light
I give this and live this so that you can get right

Chorus
Hip Hop makes the world go round
Want my people to get down
Feel it as we lace this track
Come on baby break that back

I love my people so I put it down
winning every round like a pitcher on the mound
I’ll astound –cause the sound that I found is underground
So deep it’ll make you drown rebound come around
go to town erase your frown from the pressure
like a clown in case your bound in the sector
embrace the brown in a crown with my nectar
lace this sound words weigh pounds in my lecture
I see you standing still while and I’m still moving
goals I keep pursuing spreading my influence to truants
who live in ruins and lack affluence ensuing
accruing ready time for doin petty crime
fluent in steady rhyme congruent with any line
helping niggas thru it thinking you blew it
chew it and swallow no time for you to wallow
in the mire watch me take it higher

Chorus

Bridge
All my peoples in the street
Feel it when we drop the beat
Prophecy the truth he speaks
To help you stay Alive and Free

Collectively our power reigns supreme
Necessity to dream but excessively we fiend and we scheme
Scenes I’ve seen on the screen makes me want to scream
Flossin to extremes seems obscene
It’s time that we convene and climb out the ravine
Generate this green and elevate the team
Inherent in my genes to keep it tight and clean
decipher what I mean killing germs like Listerine
Take it to a level that extends beyond the norm
Blaze like heavy metal taking on a different form
daze you like stilettos on your honey when there warn
faze-out those who want to settle for weak music and conform
born to do this art with all my heart and help it flourish
sworn play my part push the cart and try to nourish
many in the trenches fighting battles everyday
cant forget those on the benches that don’t have a place to stay
and all my younger peoples coming up in tragic times
waiting for the sequel manifesting in your mind
hoping to provide you with some words and true insight
I do this for my Nation cause this hip-hop is my life

Chorus
Bridge
