lyrics

last night as i closed my eyes
i visualized a future vast as the skies
i saw myself as a young man with a plan
to spread some truth all across this young land
so with my mic in hand and a head full of thoughts
i ramble on, singing my song
i invite all of you to come along
because my word is bond that i will never steer you wrong
proletarian slash literary veteran
who lives off the labor of his lettering
right here is where hope is possible
you can see it clear with the right kind of opticals
theme music for those who need motivation
basically, we're in the same situation
only difference is when i rock the beat
it determines if i eat or get shoes on my feet
yet we're still out there taking chances
cause we've never been held back by circumstances
strong advances are all that we're making
with a spirit that will never be shaken
a prodigal sun returning to shine bright
where he left you with an absence of light
so take advantage of the momentary clarity
nowadays moments like this are a rarity

these eyes have seen a change coming
it's quite clear it's right now right here
we can all have a hand in this
breathe life in the air so it can exist
and say I WANNA ROCK RIGHT NOW, c'mon
(I WANNA ROCK RIGHT NOW)
everybody say I WANNA ROCK RIGHT NOW, c'mon
(I WANNA ROCK RIGHT NOW)

a plastic fantastic love bizarre
similar to an outlaw star from afar
it's like a beacon, speaking to the masses
and only getting better and better as time passes
thing that's backwards about the situation is
those that made it only practice stagnation
living life in a fool's paradise
a banquet of beggars who will never think twice about a listener
missing her or him frequently
such potential kept confidential
a song and dance routine will not happen
at any moment The Word Association is ever rapping
a magnetic rose attraction
listener supported cycle of satisfaction
we've come undone to this catalyst
caused by a pen that's given my fingers callouses
yet we still wear battle scars proudly
time has allowed me to live life loudly
so we transmit these divine signals
over instrumentals looking for your mentals

now that we've all hit the same plane
it should be simple for all of us to maintain on that other level
in the infinite beyond
a place that allows us to continue on
here's a quick moment of ascension
where collective has become the main objective
so subject yourself to the rhythm
and allow yourself a slight change of perspective

these eyes have seen a change coming
it's quite clear it's right now right here
we can all have a hand in this
breathe life in the air so it can exist
and say I WANNA ROCK RIGHT NOW, c'mon
(I WANNA ROCK RIGHT NOW)
everybody say I WANNA ROCK RIGHT NOW, c'mon
(I WANNA ROCK RIGHT NOW)
