lyrics

(Hook)

(Verse 1)
A great leader was born today/ don’t let him fail or let evil blow him away/ if you see him going astray/ take heed and show him the way/ teach him morality/ we gon need him more everyday/ raise her with confidence/ raise her with common sense/ she’ll raise into prominence/ and rid AIDS from The Continent/ no left wing or right/ her only angle is flight/ guide her path, give her candle a light/ am I right?/ Absolutely/ we gettin back to the future like it’s an action movie/ I do this for the kids, when they say pass it to me/ I assist like Kidd, kid, ’cause that’s my duty/ yeah, and that’s the beauty/ I got a passion for the youth, G/ they hang in the balance/ we need movement, not another mannequin challenge/ through the music, and discord (this chord), we give em a pro to call/ that’s the protocol when they prone to fall/

(Hook)

(Verse 2)
Let’s give the children a choice/ give their vision a voice/ so they can complete the mission/ instead of missing the point/ 2.2 mill in prison/ let’s go and visit the joint/ let em know that we miss em/ a wish will give em some poise/ fixing the system isn’t as simple as flipping coins/ let’s wick wicked decisions/ that feel like kicks in the groin/ then light the wicks of millions of little boys/ and independent young women who itching to bring the noise/ We been givin’ em toys, we need to give em the tools/ if not now, then when, there ain’t a minute to lose/ no child left behind, can’t pick n choose/ all hands on deck, it takes a village or two/ Free Breakfast for Children is still/ a good idea, it was then and it always will/ as long as the meal/ keeps em all fulfilled/ with a spark in their heart /if they start to chill/ light the fire

(Hook)

(Verse 3)
Let’s get em ready, let’s line em up/ We need em all, no that’s not enough/ Set em ablaze, Let’s fire em up/ give em fuel that’ll make their desires erupt/ Teach em how to climb, get em higher up/ hands to the sky, get em higher up/ go ‘head and light a match, let’s ignite a rush/ and wave em side to side, put your lighters up

Children discussing super powers

about

Champagne Duane Oakland, California

It is often said that an artist can change the game, but all too often it doesn’t happen. In the case of Champagne Duane, people should at least start paying attention. He is the definition of hard work and has brought his solid work ethic to the booth. Creative, witty, edgy, smooth and perceptive only begin to describe his approach to the game, but one word you should use is, complete. ... more
