Hey World Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
One, two, rockHey world, you know you got to put up a fight
Hey world, you rumble in the jungle tonight
Hey world, keep bringing it the rest of your life
You got to put up a fight, you got to put up a fightHey world, you know you got to put up a fight
Hey world, you rumble in the jungle tonight
Hey world, you're running for the rest of your life
You got to put up a fight, you got to put up a fightBoom, boom, there's a battle going on in this earth
Everyday, work, school, death and birth
There are 6 billion people on this earth
Can you tell me what every single life is worth?Take a slip, look around and see history

My weapon and my method is no mystery
I didn't come here to chill, I came here to rock
To smash the empire with my boom boxYou got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote controlHey world, you know you got to put up a fight
Hey world, you rumble in the jungle tonight
Hey world, keep bringing it the rest of your life
You got to put up a fight, you got to put up a fightHey world, you know you got to put up a fight
Hey world, you rumble in the jungle tonight
Hey world, keep bringing it the rest of your life
You got to put up a fight, you got to put up a fightHey world, you know you got to put up a fight
On a universal mission like a meteorite
Satellite, laser beam with you in their sights
And with the PATRIOT Act they took all your rightDon't ever doubt the power of just one mind
Or the world wide power of just one rhyme
Don't ever doubt the force of the bass line
Or a record gone round to burn the house downYou got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote controlHey world, you know you got to put up a fight
Hey world, you rumble in the jungle tonight
Hey world, keep bringing it the rest of your life
You got to put up a fight, you got to put up a fightHey world, you know you got to put up a fight
Hey world, you rumble in the jungle tonight
Hey world, you're running for the rest of your life
You got to put up a fight, you got to put up a fightAll rebel rockers, all rebel rockers
All rebel rockers, all rebel rockersThere's a bullet with your name, it's a sign of the times
It takes nine hundred ninety nine criminal minds
You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote controlHey world, you know you got to put up a fight
Hey world, you rumble in the jungle tonight
Hey world, keep running for the rest of your life
You got to put up a fight, you got to put up a fightYou got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote controlYou got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control

Michael Franti is a gifted and much-heralded spoken word artist and political activist from San Francisco, CA. As leader of the politically and socially-charged group Spearhead, Franti is at the forefront of hip-hop's renaissance, expanding the music's boundaries as he draws on funk and soul-driven beats. Through his music and poetry, Franti tackles a range of issues--the criminal justice system, corporatization of our daily lives, AIDS, gay rights, homelessness, the death penalty, drug addiction and suicide.

His project Spearhead produced the critically acclaimed Home in 1990. The album contained his biggest single, "Hole in the Bucket," a thoughtful lament on the plight of the homeless, and "Positive," which addressed the growing AIDS epidemic. The album boasted adept funk samplings, sinuous guitar vamps, and soulful, melodic tracks about family and social injustice. 1997's Chocolate Supa Highway was not as pop-friendly as Home, but neither did its themes of kidnappings and police brutality lend themselves to such overt accessibility. Its mixture of harsher musical styles -- techno, rock, and funk -- was a step forward for Franti as his world view broadened and deepened. In 2001, Franti released Stay Human. In it he expresses his anger at the system, his advocacy of love, and his belief in freedom through individuality and self-expression through a set of songs that revolve around a fictitious death penalty case. In it, his embrace of the genres that inspired him is achieved with eloquence.

Earlier projects of Franti include The Beatnigs and The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy, which had more of an experimental/industrial sound, but addressed many of the same social/political issues.

As a celebration of the Election of Barack Obama Franti recorded the Obama Song, offered as a free track on downloaded at their offical website, www.michaelfranti.com/.
