the get down (série) - set me free

Come shine a light on (me)
Come set me (free)
Come shine a light on (me)
Come set me

These chains on me
won't let me be
You've got the keys
come rescue me
These chains on me
won't let me be
You've got the keys
come set me free

Come set me free
Come set me free
You've got the keys
come rescue me

Whoever says he's in the light
and hates his brother
is still in darkness
still in darkness through the night
Above all we've gotta love each other deeply
'cause love, love, love
covers a multitude of sins

My lips will shout for joy
when I sing praise of you
when I can feel you inside of me
and I will ascend above the highest of the clouds
and make myself like the Most High

Come rescue me

Come set me free
Come set me free
You've got the keys
come rescue me

Come rescue me
Come set me free

And I will ascend above the
highest of the clouds
And make myself like the Most High

the get down (série) - zeke's poem (i am the one)

Boom then crash, the shattering of glass
I dive to the floor, busting my ass
What a hell was that?
Was all that I said
Then I see the pool of blood
Then I see my mom she was dead
No emotion in the commotion
I wasn't even sad
Even when I learned
The bullet was meant for my dad
Vietnam made paps crazy
He was already half-dead
So why couldn't that'd be him
That got shot in the head?
All the news that fits the print
Momma's death went unreported
Not a whiff or word or hint
They don't care about us niggas
Is how my paps explained it
But I didn't know I was a nigga
'Till my dad proclaimed it
Six months later my paps was dead too
Drug-related shots fired
His skin turned cold blue
On the news that night
The President's wife got a new hair-do
The news guy said "I like it how about you? "
No word on Cbs, why was that you ask?
Take a fucking guess
And yeah why is that
That's what politicians should be asking
But who got time for questions
When you all skiing up on Aspen?
Broos get gunshots to the head
And all y'all serving us is Asprin
My momma was so lovely
She'd have made your head spin
Level the playing field
And y'all will see who'll really win
And yeah I got anger
But I don't let it take me down
My momma taught me better
And she holds me up when I fall down
Rest in peace moms, don't worry about your son
Someday I'll make you proud because
Yeah I am the one

the get down (série) - rule the world

Do I have to rule the world?
Or will it conquer me?
Do I have to live in now
Or will it turn to me?
Do I have to lose my mind?
Cause it's been wandering
Will they ever let me out?
I've been wondering

I came from the city, yeah
I came from the city, yeah
I came from the city, yeah

I came from the city, yeah
Got my name from the city, where?
The most dangerous city, let's take a trip back
Back in the time
1977, it was maximum crime
The president neglected us
Him and 6 masterminds
Six powerful men put New York
Through some drastic times
The rich and selfish ones feed off
The welfare ones
And which borough suffered the worst?
Hmm where I'm from
The Bronx
We had to rumble with rivals on the rubble
While buildings around us would crumble
I dream right but it seem like
Nothing find me be trouble
I see the light, it's right there
At the end of the tunnel
Had to find my rope to pull me up
Cause I needed some kind of hope
To fill me up
Till I met one guy
Took 'em under the wing
I coulda died if this man ain't intervene
He was an orphan, my savior
Free spirited, no man braver
He was honored and gifted
His name was Shaolin Fantastic
The lady killin' romantic
Can't forget the day we met
And this story be canceled but
Yo my life began last year
Sophomore High School
That summer I saw her, said to myself
She'll be my wife soon

Take me out of myself again
Help me lose control
Show me love, show me happiness
I can't do this on my own
Take me out of myself again
Help me lose control
Show me love, show me happiness
I can't do this on my own

the get down (série) - welcome to the get down

This ain't Disney Land this is the Bronx
Either you be strong or you be bunk

What is this some rubbish?
I'm undercover at train yards and lovin' it
I'm tryna think what lady paint the covenant
To find a wall to bomb
The whole Bronx is crumblin'
We should do it on Charlotte
Just for the fun of it
And the name is Rumi if you was wonderin'
Alien in a top hat, I'm hoverin'
And I'm chillin' with Mylene
We guzzlin' holy water, it's hotter than hell
Don't let the summer in
Man you lookin' at me like you impressed now
B-boy steez with the fresh style
Shaolin fantastic
Song dissin' me like "what's this kid
Welcome to the get down"
Hope you're ready to get down
Shaolin fantastic
Song dissin' me like "what's this kid
Welcome to the get down"
Welcome to the get down
Welcome to the get down
