Passion and Pain
(Chorus:)

Your Passion and pain they’re one and the same
Just be thankful that you made it that’s experience gained (Repeat)

Professor D:

I rap urgently cats heard of me vast verbally
Advance purposely avalanche of adversity
Disturbingly perturbing the world into absurdity
The devil had a challenge God’s answer is me!
You lack certainty but I’m so firmly determined b
That a mass murder spree like Nat Turner would match perfectly
Ask Hercules I rock these locks like Samson
But I dumped Delilah trying to chop’em off for ransom
I’m an awesome captain of the Justus League
Linkin’ with people’s army in order to bomb the Canadian-American boarder
My man Umi in the struggle too I feel you, I’m with you
We’re all POWs livin’ in this shit too
Prisoners of the war we are victims we are poor
But we’re richer to the core when we really do explore
Knowledge of self, culture, science way beyond the vulture’s violence
Indian, African, Latin American form the ultimate alliance!
(Chorus 2:)

We sharing our passion and pain experience gained
Different things that we’ve seen on this quest to get paid
Through this struggle for dollars we gonna get ours
We want control of our lives so we came to get power!

La Bomba:

Antes y primero yo le canto a los guerreros voy dejando por el suelo a los ke cantan por dinero grito fuerte y sincero por los barrios ke yo kiero y todos los ancestros ke me hablan de los cielos dioses voces inspirando y me escojen canto fuerte porke puedo aunke gobiernos me despojen justica y libertad aki yo en mi canto pido por los presos y los muertos y por mi pueblo unido

(Translation:

First and foremost I sing to the warriors I step on all those that only sing for money I scream loud and real for all the 'hoods I love
And for all the ancestors that speak to me gods and voices chose and inspire me I sing loud because I can, even if governments exile me justice and freedom is what I ask for in my song for those incarcerated, for the dead, and for all my people in unity)

Umi:

My people’s stuck in the madness can’t cope with the challenge
Can’t see the portrait on the canvass they be fuelin’ my passion
They keep me on point they strengthen my voice
They got me grindin’ with a purpose keep my movements on course
Of course we suffer with losses and plenty of hardship
Got my family in a coffin all my life we a target
They shoot but don’t aim the war is being waged
You gotta take it to the limit ain’t no time to show pain
I do this for students that’s lost in confusion
Cuz they gave up their lives and came out of school loosing
Don’t follow they plans make up your own stand
You gotta take it to the finish till the last minute pass
We spit for the voices too small for endorsements
For the peeps in the streets getting robbed for their portions
We all got our dreams we try and achieve
I do this for the folks alive feeling just like me!
