Embed: it's evident settin' in slow,
"how does it go?"
an unprecedent event is about to unfold
The devil can't stop,
won't stop blockin'the globe
Fall in a cell here
Freedom come knock at the door
They try lockin'it though,
but we about to explode
We got the firefly, tiger eye apocalypse flow
So deep in the bottom of your bottomless soul
Send mind darts flyn' out, whiout a pistol
Redesign lost minds got outta the cold
Bring order to a world that is outta control
"truth" you say, I say "how do I know?"

We can't stop it when the beat just drops
(And we don't stop)
We can't stop it with the rebel rock
(And we don't stop)
We can't stop until we hit those heights
(And we don't stop)
We can't stop because we love this life

I wanna rock with punks because I love punk rock
I wanna rock with heads because I love hip hop
I wanna rock my beats all around the block
If I was in baghdad then I would rock iraq
I wanna rock with punks because I love punk rock
I wanna rock with heads because I love hip hop
I wanna rock my beats all around the block
There is just one love so the planet we rock

New world days and new world nights
New world wrongs and new world rights
Putting new world funds in the new world banks
With the new world guns on the new world tanks
New world devils and new world gods
New world jails see the new world's hard
New world names sing new world songs
New world planes are the new world bombs
new world's flyin, the new world's dying
The new world's crying and the new world's trying
New world sons and new world daughters
They're already selling us new world water
New world beats for the new world to bang
new world streets for the new world to hang
the new world president, new world drugs
New world resident, new world thugs
New world players for the new world sports
New world trials for new world courts
new world lawyers and new world laws
New world prisons and and new world bars
New world fight the new world's fists
The new world lighting up the new world spliffs
New world smoke in the new world lungs
New world's choking, the new world's done

We can't stop it when the beat just drops
(And we don't stop)
We can't stop it with the rebel rock
(And we don't stop)
We can't stop until we hit those heights
(And we don't stop)
We can't stop because we love this lifeLyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

We Don't Stop Lyrics

They gotta war for oil, a war for gold
A war for money and a war for souls
A war on terror, a war on drugs
A war on kindness, a war on hugs
A war on birds and a war on bees
They gotta war on hippies tryin' to save the trees
A war with jets and a war with missiles
A war with high-seated, government officials
Wall street war, on high finace
A war on people who just love to dance
A war on music a war on speech
A war on teachers and things they teach
A war for the last 500 years
War's just messin' up the atmospere (true)
A war on muslims, a war on jews
a war on christians and hindus
a whole lotta people sayin' kill them all
They gotta war on Mumia Abu Jamal
The war on pot, is a war that's failed
A war that's fillin' up the nation's jails
World war 1, 2, 3, and 4 (uh huh)
Chemical weapons, biological war
Bush war 1 and bush war 2
They gotta war for me they gotta war for you

We can't stop it when the beat just drops
(And we don't stop)
We can't stop it with the rebel rock
(And we don't stop)
We can't stop until we hit those heights
(And we don't stop)
We can't stop because we love this life

Dance to the new day
Sing to the new day,
rhyme to the new day
Transform hell into heaven god lives through,
grab hold of today
Yesterday is over, tomorrow may be too late
Everything is one but the one is off balance
Music made for the dollar like soul and talent
Really ain't it all about a feeling you was havin'
As a child runnin' wild before the mind prgrammin'
set in Threatenin' your establishment
get in this energy,
lay back and sit
The next men wreckin',
to the master's lips
head spin grethren,
get to askin' if
Where, when, mr. president,
"what do you know?"
it's evident settin' in slow,
"how does it go?"
an unprecedent event is about to unfold
The devil can't stop,
won't stop blockin'the globe
Fall in a cell here
Freedom come knock at the door
They try lockin'it though,
but we about to explode
We got the firefly, tiger eye apocalypse flow
So deep in the bottom of your bottomless soul
Send mind darts flyn' out, whiout a pistol
Redesign lost minds got outta the cold
Bring order to a world that is outta control
"truth" you say, I say "how do I know?"

We can't stop it when the beat just drops
(And we don't stop)
We can't stop it with the rebel rock
(And we don't stop)
We can't stop until we hit those heights
(And we don't stop)
We can't stop because we love this life

I wanna rock with punks because I love punk rock
I wanna rock with heads because I love hip hop
I wanna rock my beats all around the block
If I was in baghdad then I would rock iraq
I wanna rock with punks because I love punk rock
I wanna rock with heads because I love hip hop
I wanna rock my beats all around the block
There is just one love so the planet we rock

New world days and new world nights
New world wrongs and new world rights
Putting new world funds in the new world banks
With the new world guns on the new world tanks
New world devils and new world gods
New world jails see the new world's hard
New world names sing new world songs
New world planes are the new world bombs
new world's flyin, the new world's dying
The new world's crying and the new world's trying
New world sons and new world daughters
They're already selling us new world water
New world beats for the new world to bang
new world streets for the new world to hang
the new world president, new world drugs
New world resident, new world thugs
New world players for the new world sports

We can't stop it when the beat just drops
(And we don't stop)
We can't stop it with the rebel rock
(And we don't stop)
We can't stop until we hit those heights
(And we don't stop)
We can't stop because we love this life

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 1994. 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/. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
