In Stereo
Fort Minor (Mike Shynoda L.P.) Lyrics

I got that Boom Bi BI, so nobody disrespect, Jah love
I possess a powerful presence that commands respect, rooted in divine love.

Give me strength and power flow through my dreads (nuff said)
I draw strength and empowerment from my heritage and spiritual connection.

You all walk with kings, talk with kinks
You surround yourselves with influential people while embracing your unique identities.

When it all goes down, have no idea what it really means.
In times of crisis, many struggle to grasp the deeper significance of events.

To live by words, if scripture is roots,
Living by principles matters, especially when those principles are deeply rooted in tradition.

And the wise hold they tongue when the youth speak the truth.
Those with experience often listen intently as the younger generation expresses their insights.

You learn real quick, where I'm from that you don't belong
It's essential to quickly understand one's place and acceptance in a community.

Only the strong survive, So tell me Babylon
In a challenging environment, resilience is key; question authority and societal structures.

(See Babylon Burnin to the ground yeah)
Witness the collapse of corrupt systems or oppressive regimes.

We think you nuckles won't win this elector
We doubt that the deceitful can triumph in the face of justice.

Try to sneak up in my hood, we not gon'let ya
Attempting to infiltrate our community will be met with unwavering resistance.

(You see the wicked Babylon burnin to the ground, y'all)
Observe the downfall of evil powers that once dominated society.

In the streets they hear your name, they don't respect ya
Your reputation in the community can be one of disdain if you lack genuine integrity.

You can run and hide, in the end we gon' getcha
No matter how much you avoid accountability, the truth will eventually catch up to you.

Boom Biddy Bi Bi
A rhythmic expression of cultural roots and identity.

Original Roots In Stereo
Authentic music that resonates with deep cultural significance.

So rep the streets you ride on.
Be proud of and represent your community and its history.

Chant them down with that rude boy sound,
Use music and culture to challenge oppression and amplify voices.

And watch the whole world lie down.
Observe the impact of cultural movement as it influences the world.

We generals in the streets they know
We are recognized leaders within our community.

Who wears the crown for shine now
Acknowledge those who hold power and influence at this moment.

We got that champion sound washing through your town
Our powerful music and message bring unity and strength to our community.

We go make the world go lie down.
Our influence will lead to a more peaceful and understanding world.

Me say, Hey natty dreadlocks where you come from?
Inviting reflection on one's origins and cultural identity.

Where the mountains watch the city and waters touch the sun
Describing a place of natural beauty where elements of nature coexist.

Where some carry crosses like others carry guns
Highlighting the duality of suffering and struggle in different forms.

And pray Jah be glorified till the day soon come.
Seeking a spiritual connection and hope for a future redemption.

Follow me
An invitation to join in solidarity and purpose.

Lick a shot if you a mighty warrior
Celebrate resilience and strength among the fighters for justice.

Lick a shot if you a freedom fighter
Affirm the commitment to fight for liberation and rights.

Lick a shot if you a true souljah
Honor those who dedicate themselves to the cause of truth and justice.

Now dance your way back to Zion
Encourage a joyous return to one’s spiritual roots and true home.

(Dance your way back to Zion)
Reinforcing the call to find solace and unity in shared heritage.

I put it down for you love, till my journey is done
I dedicate my efforts to you and our cause until my life is complete.

And let your story be told how the battle is won
Ensure that the narratives of our struggles and victories are shared and remembered.

So I grabbed the microphone and I started to run
Taking action and urgency in expressing my message to the world.

Here I come, Boom Biddy Bi
Announcing my arrival with confidence and a vibrant spirit.

Empty nation just a phase, redemptions on it's way.
Acknowledge that current hardships are temporary and change is forthcoming.

The people love to talk but they don't got that much to say.
Critiquing those who engage in dialogue without substance or meaning.

Generation of orphans whose hearts are all ablaze,
Reflecting on youth who feel lost but are passionate and full of potential.

Little light in a lot of darkness goes a long way.
Even a small amount of hope can make a significant difference in difficult times.

Freedom, hearts bleed, an see them beating on a poison.
True liberation comes with struggle, and suffering can arise from systemic issues.

Poor choices, spirits screamin, trying to break these boundaries.
Struggle against the limitations imposed by society and the consequences of actions.

Running up a mountain, chains tied to my feet.
Facing significant obstacles that weigh heavily while striving for progress.
