Lyrics:

"Make It Cool"
Reverend


Intro:
(Ok).....(Reverend)
I ain't here to preach...
I'm only here to speak...(Ok)
(And it's real)....Vamos....(For real)

Verse 1:

As he sits back (Ok) peering out of his window/
He can hear voices, whenever the wind blows/
Knowing in his heart it's the fams torn apart
From the ones that they lost, wondering where these men go/
So,
He was like "I gotta make a change/
It's gonna take time, but PATIENCE ain't a thang"/
But this same thought was staying in his brain
"Can a tongue tainted with slang, penetrate the brain?"/
So, (what?)
he started forming out his game plan/
Building up COURAGE, he ain't the same man/
TOLERATING the hating, from the same man/
But trying to find the PASSION in others, for the same stand/
For real,
Got a squad for the cause/
Trying to make a move, they don't understand "pause"/
They all got the faith and OPTIMISM involved
The mission evolved to making sure the problem is solved, unh/

Hook/Chorus:

All this revolution talk ain't nothing but words/
Until you,
Find a way for all of that to be heard/
You gotta
Make it cool to be smart, make it cool to be true/
(Make it cool to be what?) Make it cool to be you/
To make a change for the better in life/
Be RESPONSIBLE for everything you do in your life/
For real, man we gotta spread the word/
And we gotta make our voices and our actions be heard/

Verse 2:

So he learned how to DISCERN the issue at hand/
To fight it, was like walking into unknown land/
He came so SINCERE with it, so they could understand/
What was going through the mind of this young man/
He was like, "Ayo man, give me your ear/
I'm trying to make a change for the better out here/
I wanna see my kinfolk live a couple more years/
But everything that they were kicking fell on deaf ears/
His team lost morale, but he's an optimist/
And he's still CONFIDENT, he used his compliments/
That he's so brilliant, and he's so DILIGENT/
The music was plan B, his team was with it then/
They hit up Reverend, he was up for the betterment/
A movement in the music was the finalized settlement/
So it was settled then/
Now you see where we're at, no looking back, I make a change through rap, unh/

Hook/ Chorus 2x

"Food For Thought"
Reverend

Verse:

Look,
The ability of having HUMILITY is a tendency/
To those who expose, they practice responsibility/
Examples made in history but nowadays,
The idea of "non-commitment" is killing me, you feeling me?/
So inconsistent, and just in case you missed it
I'll repeat my observation, but check this/
I wanna make a statement to all of the statesmen/
Let's be GENEROUS to future generations/
That means planning out for future communities/
Leave them something they can cherish, outside of buffoonery/
Let's build that immunity, and since it ain't new to me/
I'm expecting nothing less, so there's no fooling me/
Check the technique, RESPECT the technique son/
Follow the leader, naw, you should try and be one/
For real, that's the only way we'll get it done/
And that's the only way change gone come/
One
