Mo’ Than Gold
[Verse 1: Mecca Rebell]
I hope you slept beautifully made up for all the needed rest
Cause what you 'bout will put your brain to test
Yes I'm the best I confess
But I hope you understand we drink from the same breast
We're sisters and brothers and Earth is our Mother
So naw man, I ain't better than you
Only diff'rence 'tween me and you is our view what we do and the choices we choose
And we think diff'rent, I know how to lose
I bounce back twice as nice loaded like dice
Style so wild had to call 911 thrice
One time, this song stopped a bank heist
12 guys were busy sticking the bank up
Then my song came on and hostages threw them hands up
Dozen robbers dropped the dough and took off with the stereo
Then the popo called for mo' 5-0 cause you know
Music is worth more than gold oh!

Get the facts straight
Feel the love hear the words that create
Raise roof if y'all relate
Loosey goosey homie don't always gotta

[Verse 2: Mecca Rebell]
Music is the method used to break necks not hearts
Unifyin' everybody 'cause we're all apart
Of the very energy that is the universe
So much beauty can't be contained in one verse
One sure way to destroy your children's mind
Is to teach they are better than those you call slime
I know you mean good but sucka, you lyin'
Too much pride kills even if you a lion
You're teachin' kids to separate from reality
Your squeaky clean bubble is just a fantasy
Pretentious shades stop you from seeing the view
We're all the same fundamentally, that's true!
What really matters is the concept of character
Rise high or sink low it depends on ya
Unfortunately on this level most are losers
Ask yourself “On this level am I a winner?”
