Zion I
Radio
[Verse 1]
A one, two, three, four
Oh, I'm alive, yeah
From the slaves to the field
To the booze and the blues
To the ragtime feeling okay
To the jazz in the H we were finding our way
Coltrane stayed playin' all day
To the rock and the roll
Left a hole in the soul
Cause the white folk didn't want to pay
Didn't want us no more
So you know I gotta go
Disco soul went to R&B
We got a little older
Times got colder
Couldn't find a job
Now it's hard to stay sober
Hip Hop came
And I lost my brain
Can't go back
Gotta find new things
We crunk, and we bump
And we thug, and we club
And we do
What we really gotta do
I'm a fool who's in love
With a drug, fill me up
To the music I'll always stay true
[Chorus]
I know (I know)
For sure (for sure)
I got a new radio
I got a new radio
I got a new radio
I know (I know)
For sure (for sure)
I got a new radio
I got a new radio
I got a new radio

[Verse 2]
The sound of the church
Giving birth to the verse
MC's that would ever touch ground
Singing praise in a way
That could save everyday
So amazing I lay my hat down
Pioneers of the beats in the streets
And I see that the beat is a part of the piece
That I feel when we speak
Or we blow or we sing
It's relief that can make its so deep
I'm a piece in the puzzle
Little bitty cuz who
Love kickin' game
Wit a mouth that will cuss you
Every day thing
Now a days gotta hustle
Thinking bout the ancestors
Give me muscle
Everything I need
When I gotta go tussle
This is how it go
When the spirit gon touch you
Tell you what I know
Bout them bold negros
Who came way before
With a rhythm that crushed you
[Chorus]
