Echo This Video (MV)

Ayo, I'm sitting in my room right now
Writing this song
And every word I write down just
Echo off every wall in the room like

Echo this, man these kids gon echo this
Echo this, so I write for their benefit
Echo this, so in the sky like Pegasus
Riding down the block shooting lyrics like Legalus
Echo this, man them kids gon echo this
Echo this, man them kids gon echo this
Echo this, man them kids gon echo this
Ech, ech, ech, echo this

I fear them, off a smeared tongue
Venomous darts headed straight for the eardrum
If you're young, I know it seems mere
But we might need to veer from from who we hear from
Or from what we speak
I got nothing but respect for a rapper from the streets
But, for the streets, paint stories of the streets
Don't make young kids wanna die in the streets
See they ride to the beats, cling to every word
Then tell all of their friends all the things they heard
Like its cool to sell drugs
It's cool to murder and it's cool to be a thug
And even kids with opportunity is wishing they was
And they throw away life, and throw away love
He needs tutoring he says no thank ya
I'm dropping out of school cause I wanna be a gangsta

Echo this, man these kids gon echo this
Echo this, so I write for their benefit
Echo this, so in the sky like Pegasus
Riding down the block shooting lyrics like Legalus
Echo this, man them kids gon echo this
Echo this, man them kids gon echo this
Echo this, man them kids gon echo this
Ech, ech, ech, echo this

I fear them, off a smeared tongue
Venomous darts headed straight for the eardrum
If you're young, I know it seems mere
But we might need to veer from from who we hear from
Cause they're flooding the stations
With information manipulation
Take facts and twist them, distort them
Present to the public in way that allures them
Till they believe these lies
Till they believe Obama has terrorist ties
Cause he served to improve education
With Professor Bill Ayers, he's anti-nation?
Knowing he was never involved
With Ayers past, not then, not never at all
But he's a commi, look at his name
His skin color, he's an Arab, aint they all the same?
Categorizing everything to the east
Like ignorance ain't a mark of the beast
But they feast off spreading the hatred
And then wonder why people still racist

Echo this, man these kids gon echo this
Echo this, so I write for their benefit
Echo this, so in the sky like Pegasus
Riding down the block shooting lyrics like Legalus
Echo this, man them kids gon echo this
Echo this, man them kids gon echo this
Echo this, man them kids gon echo this
Ech, ech, ech, echo this

See what I'm trying to say is
That when we're in a position of influence
We have a responsibility
So we need to be careful with how we use that
You know?
Influence is a powerful thing
