JS - Bring the Beat Back

Please subscribe for more songs and videos! Off the upcoming JS mixtape #3, "Straight From the Sugar Cane Fields, No Equal".

JS the name
Didn't come here to talk about the fame
Didn't come here to talk about the money, or the cars or the women, i'm not about the game

Imma bring it back to that old school music
Cause the new music seems so confusin
Didn't grow up with rock and roll
But i'll take you to the music I felt in my soul.

Rap is more than a dance floor beat
Real music moves your heart and your feet
This is for the fans that never ever flip flop
all the people missin that old school hip hop

For all my listeners, dedicated parisoners
To all the single mothers and political prisioners
the kids too young, oh so forgetful
bring back the soul that came before techno

Bounce,

bring the beat back
bring the beat back
I think we all agree that
It's time to bring the beat back

I didn't grow up rappin
Back when I wasn't even on the map then
But once I found it, I nourished it
With encouragement now my words are flourishin

I have to rap, it's somethin that I need
Like ground beneath my feet, or air that I breathe
Like food or water, rap became somethin
my body needed frequently in order to function

I'm dedicated, can't overstate it
I give a part of me to the music I've created
I owe the people who have previously passed on
I don't slave to trends, clothing or fashion

Give me the drums, give me the horns
Give me the music I love to perform
Before I move on, put up yo oo wees
Throw a peace sign up for Fella Kuti!

Bounce,

bring the beat back
bring the beat back
I think we all agree that
It's time to bring the beat back

Temptation at every turn
The youth of this world they got a lot to learn
Hard to receive a lyrical education
Livin in this land of material devastation

Lack the morals, lack direction
This is what you call a social intersection
I think it's up to us to bring it back
To reinforce the lessons we lost in the past

Lets make music you don't have to drop to,
If you wanna learn, nobody can stop you
Without history you got no roots
If you look at the youth, the kids are living proof

I only want what's best for them,
I don't want to see them settle ever again
if you at the club and they play another weak track
tell the DJ that its time to bring the beat back

Peace
