Verse:1 Its like my music may take you to places, though I was never there Like white folx walking their dog I'm sh!tting everywhere, And never cleaning up, give me the mic I beat it up Put ya mothaf#%*in' hands in the air, and just leave 'em up Took my joint to Radio, they told me to make dance up They wanna spin my sh!t but the PD got 'em handcuffed Tolerance getting low like I took time off drinking Seem like we as an audience took time off thinking You in denial like an addict admitting that he's a fiend Or girls with flab falling out of low rise jeans Thinking you hot when you barely luke warm Thinking you full price, when you really coupon You singing the same song that's already on the air Gucci, Louis, Diamonds, No Roof, nobody cares Tell a ni66a you rhyme, they assume you want record deal I'd rather have a fan base and a way to feed my family meals (that's real)
Hook: Let's go y'all, This one here is for the soul y'all You can feel it in ya chest Yuh yes yuh yes
Let's go y'all (c'mon) This one here is for the soul y'all You can feel it in ya gut, Unh Hunh, Unh hunh yeah
Verse 2: Buyer beware, sellers wanna hang with ya A lot of dream danglers a lot of dream stranglers Other people's dreams try to tangle ya You doin' you now they wanna try to mangle ya What's ya angle huh, acute or obtuse Is this line perpendicular, or parallel to you Been in a box so long I'm happy to see a rhombus. Every time I click record I'm on a quest to be timeless To make up for all the days I tapped the bottle to be mindless A lot of rappers dropped a song never to be rewinded Blinded by the lights, the cameras, the action For all the money, cars, and hoes what's life without passion Some of my best times was spent broke with my loved ones You make it to the top look around and you alone son In America we work everyday 'til we die So busy trying to stack money that we don't enjoy life (that's right)
Hook: Let's go y'all, This one here is for the soul y'all You can feel it ya chest Yuh yuh yes yuh yes
Let's go y'all (c'mon) This one here is for the soul y'all You can feel it in ya gut, Unh Hunh, Unh hunh
...Yeah

The Classical Theater of Harlem, The Public Theater and The National Black Theatre presents "UPTOWN MEETS DOWNTOWN: Celebrating a historic theatrical collaboration"
NEW YORK, NY - The Classical Theatre of Harlem (Producing Artistic Director, Ty Jones) kicks off their 13th season in a groundbreaking co-production with The Public Theater and National Black Theatre of DETROIT ''67. The "UPTOWN MEETS DOWNTOWN" kick-off reception will be held on Friday, November 9, 2012, at 7:00 p.m. at the National Black Theater, 2031-33 Fifth Avenue, between 125th Street and 126th Street in Harlem.
"UPTOWN MEETS DOWNTOWN" is an unparalleled theatrical collaboration not seen in Harlem since the late 1960''s when Dr. Barbara Ann Teer, founder of The National Black Theatre and her friend, Joe Papp, founder of The Public Theater first imagined projects in the late ''60s to carve out new spaces on their own terms. It was their vision that theater could be a viable tool for embracing and confronting the complexities of contemporary society while nurturing artists, developing audiences, and affecting change. Fifty years ago, they partnered together on a musical adaptation of Gwendolyn Brooks'' poem We Real Cool that toured the five boroughs of New York City.
The March 2013 co-production of DETROIT ''67, by award-winning playwright Dominique Morisseau and directed by Kwame Kwei-Armah, is the fruit of a new collaboration between these uptown and downtown theater companies, reigniting a connection that began decades ago, bringing together diverse neighborhoods across New York City.
Ty Jones, Artistic Director of CTH, says, "The Classical Theatre of Harlem is standing on the broad shoulders of Dr. Teer and Mr. Papp. These artistic pioneers created institutions that have persevered for over 50 years. I hope to take lessons of their leadership to help preserve and develop cultural treasures for the next 50 years and beyond in the city of New York."
Oskar Eustis, Artistic Director of The Public Theater, says "I am thrilled that the Public is collaborating with CTH and our dear friend Ty Jones on this production of Detroit ''67. The fit between CTH and the Public is a natural one, our missions complement each other beautifully, and I hope this uptown/downtown partnership can be the first of many."
The Classical Theatre of Harlem''s new season brings programs from Future Classics, Project Classics, Playwrights Playground, and a summer production of A Midsummer Night''s Dream in Marcus Garvey Park. The Classical Theatre of Harlem''s firm resolve is to serve the needs of the community and the partnership with The Public Theatre and National Black Theatre furthers their mission to create enriching opportunities for theater arts in Harlem.
