Lyrical Sobriety – 796993

“Lyrical Sobriety” was originally released in 2008 and was a “musical” response to the deterioration and degradation of our societies caused by music and media corporations around the world. Corporations whose very livleyhood feed and depend on the destruction of the youth. “Lyrical Sobriety” challenges the listener to take a stand on many levels, and simply, the song speaks better for itself then this description will.

I decided to release this on AudioJungle for royalty free use as I have received a lot of requests to add more hip hop tracks, and even specifically this one. While it’s immediate use seems obvious fitting into the political, activist and humanitarian scenes, I’m sure I will be surprised by some of it’s uses like usual

Thanks in advance for your purchase!

Have you seen, what’s coming on the horizon, waking up to tomorrow’s life, to find that the answer is gone, the answer is gone

I’m bringin’ it down, I’m bringin’ it down, so turn it up

I’m here to bring a flow that puts a chill down your neck Ya’ the kind you get when you start to feel that you can connect To the words of my rhyme, as you listen, one at a time They begin to take shape and bring an image into your mind

One that helps you to see cause in this world there’s so many lies And so many people livin’ in a phony disguise So now I’m here to help you out and bring about their decline By given you a rhyme that leaves you with a tingling spine

That reacts with your head, to wake up, what seemed like it was dead So you can stand up, with your hand up and repeat what I said To stop the media money makers that ruin society The ones who try to put a stop to lyrical sobriety

Yeah, and now there’s so many complications And many people now in screwed up situations Because of what we let walk into our lives, through our ears and our eyes And yet we still act surprised

I will fight, I will fight so hard, to help you to see, but does anyone care? Does anyone care?

I will fight, I will fight so hard, to help you to see, but does anyone care? Does anyone care…. I think not cause’ I still hear the guns go Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, there’s another one

Another brother gone, another mother lost her son Another young life, wonder what he would have done But now he’ll never have a chance to grow and be someone

I wish it were a story, but the lyrics are real And as I’m sitting pennin’ out this rhyme I can’t help but feel For the all the victims of our culture that we have created That’s loves the brutal display of racism, violence and hatred

And I know a thousand songs, have said the same thing But we don’t change; we don’t listen to the message they bring We want to live it up, let someone else, undo what was done And so the cycle goes, I guess it makes a thousand-and-one

I wish now that I was done, but really I’ve just begun To dig into the corruption that’s systematically run By the music corporations that are plaguing our nation That simply take a seat and watch the death of young aspiration

I will fight, I will fight so hard, to help you to see, but does anyone care? Does anyone care?

I will fight, I will fight so hard, to help you to see, but does anyone care? Does anyone care?

But people still trippin, societies slippin’, so here’s some more

I tried to bring this message when I did hurting land, But now I see that you don’t learn, or maybe don’t understand Maybe the music was too slow, so I’ll say it again But in a different way to reach all those who wouldn’t extend

A kind word of gratitude some got nothing but attitude Say I’m hatin’, well I am, we’re not on the same latitude I shove it down your throat, cause’ you shove it down mine I have to sit and listen to your garbage rhyme after rhyme

About the guns, sex, violence and glorified crime, Same old thing that’s on the radio all of the time So though you came to get yours, now I’m here to get mine And if this makes it to the airwaves man that’ll be fine

I don’t expect it though cause’ I’m only keeping it real I only sing and rap about the true things that I feel Someone has to bring flow that will keep you alert Someone to tell it like it is, even if it’ll hurt

I will fight, I will fight so hard, to help you to see, but does anyone care? Does anyone care?

I will fight, I will fight so hard, to help you to see, but does anyone care? Does anyone care?

And now the radio plays a song and all of us will sing along Hypnotized, captivated, sitting back while were sedated With the beat of the new song, they spent a million dollars on A brand new artist once a week, just pluck another from the street

And children fall into the game; they grow up only wanting fame To be the people that they see, the radio and the TV Is what they’re fed and now they’ll be a victim of society And later as the kids go up we wonder why they self-destruct
