about

Introducing 'Radical Dreamers' by emcee Amerigo Gazaway and producer DJ DN³ – an album that ignites the flame of radical pursuit and encapsulates the essence of chasing one's dreams fearlessly.

"Starts With Us" invites introspection, reminding us that true change begins within ourselves and encourages us to prioritize humanity and unity over superficial matters.

lyrics

[Verse 1: Amerigo Gazaway]
Power to the people y’all because it all starts with us
But I know sometimes people can be hard to trust
Smile in your face but then they be actin’ sus
Friends can stab you in the back and that can cut
Deeper than any wound or any weapon you name
And when something like that happens, things are never the same
I’ve seen family members turned to enemies in a day
For the love of money people do unspeakable things
But it all starts with us, that why we gotta protect
One another and treat each other with some kinda respect
See you can try forgive and try to forget
Or hold on to all your grudges and die with regrets
Its your choice but sometimes you just gotta accept
They’ll never change no matter how hard you try to correct
But don’t let it affect your mental peace or state of mind
Only way to survive, living in these crazy times

[Hook: Amerigo Gazaway]
Yo this beat is on fire bout to spark it up
Two sides to every coin I’m bout toss it up
I know that sometimes people can be hard to trust
But yo we gotta stick together ‘cause it starts with us
If you got something to discuss well then cough it up
Signals getting crossed because we don’t talk enough
All men created equal, in God we trust
Power to the people ya’ll because it starts with us

[Verse 2” Amerigo Gazaway]
See I’m already hip, to all the games that they play
Sheisty things people do and the things that they say
Ay yo this place is an amazing display of sheer ignorance
its weird isn’t it this fear driven culture that were livin’ in?
‘Cause at first it appears innocent,
But really kid, you could get stuck for a merc’d a mere dividend
They say its all about the Benjamins
but I bet if Benjamin were here he wouldn't be down with how were spendin’ him
It’s outrageous, ain’t it pitiful how they just
Talk behind our backs but then smile in our faces
Like its all gravy, I’m like…is y’all crazy?
I just rocked a show I ain’t leavin’ till ya'll pay me
Try to play me like a vinyl record
And break me down with all their bullshit and hate
but wait I ain’t affected by all that
See I am the essence of raw rap
A lot of emcees wanna test but they best to just fall back

[Hook: Amerigo Gazaway]
Yo this beat is on fire bout to spark it up
Two sides to every coin I’m bout toss it up
I know that sometimes people can be hard to trust
But yo we gotta stick together ‘cause it starts with us
If you got something to discuss well then cough it up
Signals getting crossed because we don’t talk enough
All men created equal, in God we trust
Power to the people ya’ll because it starts with us
