Passion (feat. Rakaa & Babu)

An open microphone can be dangerous

Let's tune in on two of the greatest

MCs out there

Passion, the will to win, the spark within

Passion, the strength within the hearts of men

Passion, the drive to press, to strive for best

To rise you've just arrived the quest is driven through

Passion, to play through pain and love the game

Passion, to break the chain and blaze the flame

Passion, the fight for rights, to love your life

To rise you've just arrived the quest is driven through

Passion

Propaganda, positive propositions

A, politician, musician and a triple optician

Still, part of my mission's to slaughter the opposition

Critics that don't get it, I tell 'em to stop bitchin'

I do without plaques, I've done it without cash

Strictly for the love of the art - that's passion

Flashin', rappin' or jammin' or soundblastin'

When Quannum meets Expansion, this is what happens

Runnin' through the jungle with a flare gun

Arrow-arms, zoning out my mind

Like I was hooked on hero-in

Take the fire, turn it up and blaze whole forest down

Pullin from within' the inner insane warrior

California to the District of Columbia

Hella high octane, lookin' through a lazy eye

All ablaze, fire, flames, lightin' up the sky

Run into the burnin' sun, yellin'

Ride, ****, ride, ****, ride

Passion, the will to win, the spark within

Passion, the strength within the hearts of men

Passion, the drive to press, to strive for best

To rise you've just arrived the quest is driven through

Passion, to play through pain and love the game

Passion, to break the chain and blaze the flame

Passion, the fight for rights, to love your life

To rise you've just arrived the quest is driven through

Passion

Desire, the fire that inspires

I don't state facts, I state buildings, like empires

Passion, the journey, the learnin', the time-turnin'

The searchin', the mind yearnin' to wake and find morning

Passion, the ladies they love the long-lasting

Asking for action? Brace for satisfaction

Passion, he black-skinned African jazz-men of the half in Aspen

Relaxed, gettin' my back rubbed

I'm still here, I've seen cats get killed here

I've seen cats make a mil but millionaires still fear

You can buy air play but you can't buy cheers

Blackalicious, Dilated, vibratin' your ears

Sent vibrations for years, I've been waiting for years

I've been patient for years, we ain't playin' this year

We hold stake in this here, it ain't safe for this year

We in the zone watch next level, takin' it there, this is

Passion, the will to win, the spark within

Passion, the strength within the hearts of men

Passion, the drive to press, to strive for best

To rise you've just arrived the quest is driven through

Passion, to play through pain and love the game

Passion, to break the chain and blaze the flame

Passion, the fight for rights, to love your life

To rise you've just arrived the quest is driven through

Passion

Listen now, to this classic moment from-

DJ's, around the world, DJ's around the world

Had a rough weekend, got beat by passion

Saddled up, tweaked off a beat, started mashin'

Matador reek of the heat from the heater

Inner world dwellin', hear the world yellin' for a leader

I don't bother with the dealers, I take it to the lab

It's Rakaa chillin' with Babs, Xcel, Gift of Gab

I grab mics and fans gravitate, I can't waste it

My whole life, I wanted it so bad, I could taste it

Passion, the will to win, the spark within

Passion, the strength within the hearts of men

Passion, the drive to press, to strive for best

To rise you've just arrived the quest is driven through

Passion, to play through pain and love the game

Passion, to break the chain and blaze the flame

Passion, the fight for rights, to love your life

To rise you've just arrived the quest is driven through
