The Spark - DJ Criminal, Illogic

Every move I make he watch

Cus gon' slit his wrist if he can’t tell what time it is

Now when I find a break I’m dancing so unique

They know my words are electric the way they boogaloo across the beat

In these streets I run these emcees

Now crown the Jam Master Jay and they say, «Who's house is this?»

I reply, «Me and the brethren»

So Mary Mary, don’t you weep but Mary Mary, why you buggin'?

Thuggin' get you buried where I’m from

It’s scary crazy situations vary on the daily where I’m from

So I don’t rap, I speak in collages

And try to make every lesson point in the direction of where God is

Polish off the faith, embrace the path of the light

Resting in the fact I’m prepared for the fight

Might not be the flame, but I’m the spark that ignites

The wind beneath the wings of eagles on a purposeful flight, it’s like

Now life is simple, but comes with a complex

Got you busy juggling your struggle with progress

Focused on the rubble and nonsense

Looking to perfect the gathering of material objects

Limiting the listening to leaders lacking depth

Rejecting riveting performances from truth you can’t accept

I’ve been hoping open-mindedness becomes the norm and a culture of excellence

will begin to take form

We’re human beings being human inhumane

To everyone they come across, there’s so much we can gain

No one’s gonna force you to, you must decide to change

Happiness abounds but you can’t escape some pain

‘cause without pressure diamonds wouldn’t be and neither would we

Sometimes you gotta hit your knees

I may not be the flame, but I’m the spark that ignites

The wind beneath the wings of eagles on a purposeful flight, it’s like
