Grandmaster Flash Beat Street Letras:
Beat Street Breakdown, Raah! Hip Hop!

Beat Street The king of the beat You see him
rocking that beat from across the street And Huh
Huh! Beat Street is a lesson too, because you
can't let the Streets beat you!

Well a picture can express a thousand words to
describe all the beauty of life you give And if
the world was yours to do over, I know you'd
paint a better place to live Where the colours
would swirl and the boys and girls can grow in
peace and harmony And where murals stand on walls
so grand as far as the eyes are able to see, Ha! I
never knew art til I saw your face and there'll
never be one to take your place 'Cause each and
every time you touch the spray paint can
Michelangelo's soul controls your hand Then
serenades of blue and red and the beauty of the
rainbow fills your head Crescendo of colours hang
in tune, Man why oh why d'ya have to die so
soon? Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, where the
good die young it's all thy must 'Cause as
life must live, death must die and the tear shall
fall from the living eye, Huh! The teardrops fall
for the state of mind of the beautiful lady that
you left behind In love and alone, but now
you're dead, and she still can't get you out
of her head, Huh! More tears fall for all you've
done, trying to be a good father to your only son
But now who's gonna make sure that he's fed,
put a shirt on his back and a roof overhead? Tell
me who's gonna dream the impossible dream of the
beautiful cities in the islands genes? When your
works of art brought into being all that the
ghetto stopped you from seeing Bums on the
sidewalk, garbage in the streets, abandoned
buildings, bricks of concrete The ladies on the
corner are selling their bodies, and everybody
wants a part in that party I'm hanging out
tough, rocking late at night, running wild in the
town of the neon light You either play some ball
or stand in the hall Huh! You gotta make something
outta nothing at all I'm sitting in the
classroom learning the rules and it says you
can't do graffiti in school They can't be
wrong in the hallowed hall, so my notebook turned
into a brick wall The heart of a lion and the
courage of three, and the mind of a man much wiser
than me You're the soul of the brother who
won't come back Who died in my arms on the
railroad track 'Cause I'm caught in the rat
race, looking for my own space There's gotta be
[Más Letras en es.mp3lyrics.org/Zvs]
a better place for you and me There's pie in the
sky, and an eye for an eye Some people gotta die
just to be free You search for justice and what do
you find? You find just us on the unemployment
line You find just us sweating from dawn to dusk
There's no justice, there's Huh, just us, Ha!
Still life urban masterpiece, your trademark was
written on trains and walls A million dollar gift
only God released, and yet you got killed for
nothing at all So after this there'll be no more
hard times, no more bad times and no more pain No
more chump change, none of that bull Just movies,
museums and the hall of fame So all you Hip Hops
get on up, and let's take it to the top where we
belong 'Cause the age of the Beat Street wave is
here Everybody let's sing along, now c'mon,
say 'Ho!' ('Ho!'), Say 'Ho!'
('Ho!') And to let me know I'm rocking the
microphone everybody say 'Ramo!' ('Ramo!')
'Ramo!' ('Ramo!') Raah!

A newspaper burns in the sand, and the headlines
say 'Man destroys Man!' Extra! Extra! Read all
the bad news on the war for peace that everybody
would lose The rise and fall, the last great
empire, the sound of the whole world caught on
fire The ruthless struggle, the desperate gamble
The game that left the whole world in shambles The
cheats, the lies, the alibis And the foolish
attempt to conquer the skies Lost in space, and
what is it worth, huh? The president just forgot
about Earth Spending multi billions, and maybe
even trillions The cost of weapons ran into
zillions There's gold in the street, and
diamonds under feet And the children in Africa
don't even eat Flies on their faces, they're
living like mice And the houses even make the
ghetto look nice, Huh! The water tastes funny,
it's forever too sunny And they work all month
and don't make no money A fight for power, a
nuclear shower And people shout out in the darkest
hour Of sights unseen and voices unheard And
finally the bomb gets the last word Christians
killed Muslims, and Germans killed Jews And
everybody's bodies are used and abused, Huh!
Minds are poisoned and souls are polluted
Superiority complex is deep rooted Leeches and
lice's, and people got prices Egomaniacs control
the self-righteous Nothing is sacred and nothing
is pure So the revelation of death is our cure
Hitler and Caesar, Custer and Reagan Napoleon,
Castro, Mussolini and Begin Ghengis Khan and the
Shah of Iran Mixed with the blood of the weaker
man The peoples in terror, the leaders made the
error And now they can't even look in the mirror
'Cause we gotta suffer while things get rougher
And that's the reason why we got to get tougher
To learn from the past and work for the future And
don't be a slave to no computer 'Cause the
Children of Man inherits the land And the future
of the world is in your hands So just throw your
hands in the air And wave 'em like you just
don't care And if you believe that you're the
future Scream it out and say 'Oh yeah!' ('Oh
yeah!') 'Oh yeah!' ('Oh yeah!') Raah!

Beat Street Breakdown Raah! Hip Hop!
