Lyrics Say Something - James Noble

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah (oh, ya, oh, ya)
Oh, ya (oh, yeah, oh, yeah)
Oh, yeah

Dig deep and say something
The globe needs you to speak, so say something
If you bring the toxic and weak then say nothing
'Cause the people playin' for keeps so say something
Breathe deep and say something
The people need you to speak, so say something
Plan on saying something that's weak, say nothing
'Cause the planet's playin' for keeps so say something

Makes me think of Martin, makes me think of Malcolm
Stood against the system, liberation was the outcome
Gave their lives so we know this much about them
Rebels with a cause, we'd be paralyzed without them
How come, faced with a fraction of the misery
We could serve the cause, such embarrassment and injury
Rhymes went global and we've got the people listening
Talkin' stripper poles, I insist we do it differently

But, I won't judge, if you strip for your hustle I concede
The whole struggle in feeding your loved ones
I'm just trying to hit the whole picture, so no judgment
Trying to talk sense to your sons and your husbands
'Cause we live in a time like no other
When the world pays attention to people of your color
And it's not crazy to think we'd show others
That we takin' up the mantle of Martin and those brothers

Dig deep and say something
The globe needs you to speak, so say something
If you bring the toxic and weak then say nothing
'Cause the people playin' for keeps so say something
Breathe deep and say something
The people need you to speak, so say something
Plan on saying something that's weak, say nothing
'Cause the planet's playin' for keeps so say something

People think dreamin' and reason are sold separate but
Hope takes root in a scene that is so desperate that
There's no choice but to build or go septic
You feel your soul stretch but can't yield to those skeptics
Came from the foulest, talkin' Black Struggle
Now we living out the wildest, dreams
We received a degree of the strength left to Samson
Blinded with the greed we reducing it to mansions
Anthems, meant to inspire the people taking them higher
Perverted to friendly fire, we mercenaries for hire

Bodies steady drop in the streets, I'm so tired
We should go to war for the weak like those wiser
All we seem to offer is beef and feed a system of thieves
They bringing us to our knees, so Lord please
Open our eyes to demons who in disguise
Cut 'em down to size, this is Noble's word to the wise

Dig deep and say something
The globe needs you to speak, so say something
If you bring the toxic and weak then say nothing
'Cause the people playin' for keeps so say something
Breathe deep and say something
The people need you to speak, so say something
Plan on saying something that's weak, say nothing
'Cause the planet's playin' for keeps so say something

Won't apologize that I acknowledge my conscience
Won't apologize I can't comply with the nonsense
Won't apologize I rep immortal designs
They're paranormal and shine like intercosmic deposits
Call it old-fashioned but yet I'm so passionate
Standard protagonist, not the sole catalyst
There's a whole cabinet teeming with soul mavericks
Human watchtowers who shielding the whole labyrinth
With the sole challenge, to stand guard as vanguards

Lead the grand charge for these young bloods, so hands off
Spiritual, global metaphysical stand-off
Penetrate the heart with wisdom sharper than bandsaws
Platform that I stand for eternally
What we leave behind is of utmost concern to me
Not afraid to say it, we in a state of emergency
How we lead the people will echo straight through eternity

Dig deep and say something
The globe needs you to speak, so say something
If you bring the toxic and weak then say nothing
'Cause the people playin' for keeps so say something
Breathe deep and say something
The people need you to speak, so say something
Plan on saying something that's weak, say nothing
'Cause the planet's playin' for keeps so say something

Uh, yeah, the kids need you to speak, so say something
The globe needs you to speak, so say something
If you bring the toxic and weak, say nothing
If you got a voice on a beat, then say something
The globe needs you to speak, so say something
For kinfolk on the scene, say something
Plan on saying something that's weak, say nothing
'Cause the people playin' for keeps, so say something
