The Herd - Same Song lyrics

[Verse] And in the hour of chaos the beat got us [?] Let the rhythm hit 'em with a little bit of cynicism I see around me, fear of a black plan With the clan in the front, but not Wu Tang (what) I'll never really know the struggle that it came from I try to take it on and re-create the same song Paint a picture for history to put a frame on We going off with the brain on (Make some noise) See we're following the legacy of lions Ain't afraid to speak to their minds, they leap aside Hate the hate [?] My high school syllabus was way behind Now you love Aus hip hop [?] Gotcha BNE merch but ain't done homework If hip hops alive but white and sunburnt Well that'd be a sad day for all concerned So we learn and we carry the debt Truly understand the cause to enjoy the effect Check your head Is this gangsta sh** what we can't relate to Same as the places movies take you Do you really hate that US rap Or is that a code for what you view as black I hope not I'd rather you pirate me then make me tolerate the irony [Bridge] We all live beneath the stars So when you stole the Southern Cross I felt the loss [Hook] Following the spirit, came from the Broncs All of the streets that the beat built on Take it to the bridge, take it to the sea Run-DMC where the beat found me Look to the future but know of our past Don't let the Southern Cross block the stars We singing that same song Same song we were raised on [Verse] I understand where it came from Sometimes it's like we're not hearing the same song Makes me cringe thinking that you bringing shame on The only religion I ever put a name on Hip hops my bible, not my Aussie Aussie idol When the chorus kicks in do you feel what I do I yearn for the return of real rap music It's made with art whether avant garde or purist Always been about unity; a community And just because you're Aussie doesn't give you immunity Gotta apply the same scrutiny Not about radio play, more and express your self-mutiny I fight the power moment gotta say something You talk loud, say nothing, straight dumbing I know what originators did before us Though misplaced, patriotic, off key chorus We're just people tryna begin again So when the beat comes back I begin again And I been pressing on you like a tattoo gun Man you blind if you don't recognise where it came from [Hook] Following the spirit, came from the Broncs All of the streets that the beat built on Take it to the bridge, take it to the sea Run-DMC where the beat found me Look to the future but know of your past Don't let the Southern Cross block the stars We singing that same song Same song we were raised on
