Passion Blackalicious (Ft. Rakaa Iriscience)

[Cuts by Chief Xcel and DJ Babu]
An open microphone can be dangerous
Let's tune in on two of the greatest
MCs out there

[Hook: Rakaa & Gift of Gab]
Passion, the will to win, the spark within
Passion, the strength within the hearts of men
Passion, the drive to press, to strive for best
To rise you've just arrived the quest is driven through
Passion, to play through pain and love the game
Passion, to break the chain and blaze the flame
Passion, the fight for rights, to love your life
To rise you've just arrived the quest is driven through
Passion

[Verse 1: Rakaa]
Propaganda, positive propositions
A, politician, musician and a triple optician
Still, part of my mission's to slaughter the opposition
Critics that don't get it, I tell 'em to stop bitchin'
I do without plaques, I've done it without cash
Strictly for the love of the art - that's passion
Flashin', rappin' or jammin' or soundblastin'
When Quannum meets Expansion, this is what happens
