(Yo, pass me my guitar, let me practice, yo) Let's go So, so you think you can tell Heaven from hell Blue skies from pain Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail A smile from a veil Do you think you can tell Did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts Hot ashes for trees Hot air for a cool breeze Cold comfort for change Did you exchange A walk on part in the war For a lead role in the cage Whether you listenin' to hip hip-hop Or you tuning to rock Refugees on your box We gonna take over your blocks Let's go How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl Year after year Runnin' over the same old ground What have we found? The same old fears Wish you were here (Yeah) Whether you listenin' to rock Or you're pumpin' the hip hip hop Refugees on your box Critics don't mistake this for just any cover tune I'ma take y'all to the dark side of the moon Kickin' in my mom's room, this song was just a thought A young refugee labeled, just come with a passport Dad used to tell me about the American dream My dream was waking up in the projects A young teen listening to hip hop My brother tune me into rock Put me up on Pink Floyd, a band from the British blocks Whether you pumpin' the hip hip hop Or you're tuning to rock Refugees on your box We gonna take over the blocks From NJ to BK to the UK
