SummerTime
Lyrics and Vocals by Emcee Lynx

Summertime heat up in the streets of cali
Raise my face to the sun, drink it’s heat as I rally
The troops
We expand like parachutes,
Defying gravity, running in combat boots
Feelin’ the heat up in my skin, we came to win
Emcee Lynx on the mic, Christine is up in
The melody, the hook, cops say that I’m a crook
But I’m flowing like a river, babblin’ like a brook
took my styles back to school to redefine, redesign
ready-set-primed, to take back what’s mine
I spit flames to melt fools
like walkin’ on the sun
Step on the scene pigs run, ‘fore I ever touch a gun
I’m fin’na blaze it up, I don’t mean the weed
I see the Whitehouse in flames; even politicians bleed
I’m spittin’ it precise, like darts from blow-guns
you best protect ya neck, I’m packin’ poison.

Empires fallin like autumn leaves
And when the winter comes, then they’re power’ll freeze
Springtime spreadin for the worlds rebirth
Summertime when we rise from all corners of the earth

take it to the streets like situationists
I live for the struggle
never cease and desist
organizing for the rev, you ready raise ya fist
militant on the mic, be that super anarchist
fuck the constitution, don’t amend it – end it
only rights that we have are the rights we defended
from corporate plantations,
where they work us to death
to the strip malls where they take what’s left
the whole thing is a game, they get rich on our pain
200 television stations, all playing the same thing
turn it off, step outside, press my ear to concrete
Feel the bass hit like the earth’s heartbeat
slinging CD’s on the corner, tryna make ends meet
kickin flows in the cipher, magnifying the heat
from the suns rays, rhymes blaze,
these are the best days,
chillin with my folks,
makin’ plans while the beat plays

Empires fallin like autumn leaves
And when the winter comes, then they’re power’ll freeze
Springtime spreadin for the worlds rebirth
Summertime when we rise from all corners of the earth

5.5 million folks in the prison system
most a ya’ll are to scared too stand up, so ya livin’
in a cage - a police state - built on hate
corrupt to it’s core, no need to debate
analyze it holistic, see how things relate
so when you can’t feed ya kids don’t chalk it up to fate
I spit flows to vacate upper class residential
only gold I ever had is up in my dental
there’s a better world coming,
can’t draw it with a pencil
you could picture it yourself
if you opened your mental
but ya third is blind, from the glare and warfare
poor people die every day, the cops don’t care
they’re only there to protect the rich
we gotta switch
up in the matrix consciousness is a glitch
many minds flash frozen, like they were fish sticks
but when the shit hits the fan poor people resist…
