Dan Shike - Universal lyrics

[Intro] Get 'em up y'all, get 'em up y'all This one's for all y'all, hands high y'all Get 'em up y'all, get 'em up y'all This one's for all y'all, hands high y'all come on [Verse 1] Soul smashing through the boombox Shook the world, every ghetto up rocks (up rocks) Rebel art fist raised and head bobbing Beat boxing on Beach Street to beach knocking Planet rocking Rock, rock rock, rock on Artform for the poor, hungry, broken and strong A song of the voiceless, who'll forever be heard Over beat breaks on every landscape that's word I'm saying though, I was just in Shibuya Seen this kid with an L.A. Symph shirt and some Pumas Yeah man, way out in Japan They be rocking Nike dunks, skateboards in their hand man Rap made an impact all over the world Enabled me to make these stacks and [?] to these girls But I also drop pearls, j**els, and gems Cause it's more than just guns, women, pools and rims [Chorus] Universal, taking this around the world Universal, from the nerds to the valley girls Universal, from the corn fields to the barber shops And gritty city streets and the 'Bama boondocks Universal, taking this all over the globe Universal, to places that you don't even know Universal, London, Japan and Amsterdam It's taking over the world it wasn't even planned [Verse 2] Yeah, from ghettos to suburbs East west to worldwide New York ghetto China Puerto Rico [?] Japanese ichi ni, every country mic check And through the internet man, we all straight connect (straight connect) The one's who love the culture, don't abuse, show respect Thirty years of evolution and it ain't finished yet (no) Cause the freedom of expression is the soul of hip hop It speaks every language so it's never gonna stop They say nothing is sacred and nothing is pure (yep) That point is taken as the rake in manure Money with the message of money and self hate It seems so sacrilegious to even resuscitate it Definition of music as the voice of a people Cause right about now it's advertising the illegal as elite And the feat is just to catch up Get shot a hundred times and put a platinum plaque up [Chorus] Universal, taking this around the world Universal, from the nerds to the valley girls Universal, from the corn fields to the barber shops And gritty city streets and the 'Bama boondocks Universal, taking this all over the globe Universal, to places that you don't even know Universal, London, Japan and Amsterdam It's taking over the world it wasn't even planned Some say they used to love her, but do it like a single mother A phase in your colors [?] the sound of the summer [?] Timbaland, Tommy, [?] and Kango Influenced the world thanks to Arsenio From a, L.A. Symphony to De La Sol Whether it's, C'est la Vie or say no go We play the role of global earlobe patrol Unload on different continents and reap the motherload From audiences in Rome where the peeps like to dance And the clubs in Long Beach where they crease their pants We see [?] Healthy competition is good as long as they clap their hands The genius of music, the joy it brings A child's innocent smile, their hopes and dreams A better tomorrow, a better today Little [?] say "What's up" when you're on your way [Chorus] Universal, taking this around the world Universal, from the nerds to the valley girls Universal, from the corn fields to the barber shops And gritty city streets and the 'Bama boondocks Universal, taking this all over the globe Universal, to places that you don't even know Universal, London, Japan and Amsterdam It's taking over the world it wasn't even planned [Outro] Trinidad, Africa, Angola, Canada, China, Australia, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Belize, Jamaica, Barbados, Mauritius, Bali, Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland
