lyrics

Boom bop...

chorus:
Eternal ancestral love breathe a new rhythm in me when my heart wants to stop
Internal biological clock tick a new rhythm in me when my body wants to drop (x2)

VERSE 1:
like the rhythm in my people never dropped though our bodies were left to rot colonized afterthoughts green land but dead end jobs history repeats and now pops grips a mop from the philippines with big dreams for his artistry but now he cleans settled for the family passed baton to me i guess i'm the rebel from his rubble REinvention I flow with paintbrush and microphone sessions
I fight polite and pretty discretion my mom taught me that lesson i'm shinin bright
like the 8 point sun in every direction
but broken connections from the mother and her land got me hurtin with my questions this heart needs some reconnection

VERSE 2:
a new beat boom bop
when hip hop is all you got and all knowledge is your power they called me a monkey and a coward tongue tied around religion awardin me some ribbons cos they history I preached to perfection
even better than my own strangers in my own home cos my mom is workin to the bone
gangster narratives my brother tries to clone in my fatherless home men of colour demonized here
money trees never grow on this side it's like a jungle sometimes I wonder on the number
of those of us stayin under
broke and blue collar necks hustle for a dollar cheque givin'em minimum sums drop outs aint coolin out they're doin subtraction
cos rent is too high at night i'd here my mom cry I just wanna survive lord
prayin for a miracle in 9 to 5, 3 to 11, graveyard shift rituals but we keep
spittin breakin the cycle never caught trippin, never stop flippin plots, forgettin? we not, gettin back up
cos we'll never drop wont stop never drop, that's my people. And we are the..

verse 3:
a new beat boom bop
cos our stories live in hip hop wisdom’s in the rhythm we keep join we will never stop
alibata signs line melanin to taggin fresh street skin winnin back the mother tongue lovin our reflection
this means rebellion pay attention and ask question like why don't I see me in the media
what they feedin ya? white tides have histories of crashin into ya forced entries tryin to kill us with amnesia?
So I write to remember dismember the offenders i'm the new school avenger
educate myself to rage raise hell and grow bolder the city's gettin colder economics on my shoulders we must be workaholic soldiers cos we're workin overtime filin truth from toxic folders
i'm just a young cat writin raps with spitfire attack takin it higher my flow never lax only desire is bringin it back to the 8 point sun shinin bright in the stars my legacy is not too far it's in my heart

BOOM BOP (x8)

CHORUS
Eternal ancestral love breathe a new rhythm in me when my heart wants to stop
Internal biological clock tick a new rhythm in me when my body wants to drop
Eternal ancestral love breathe a new rhythm in me when my heart wants to stop
Internal biological clock tick a new rhythm // tick a new rhythm // a new rhythm like

boom bop boom bop (x7)
