Once a mode of expression now a means to an end Something but a few have viewed as nothing but a mere trend Some took it seriously, some as a spoof Exploitation killed its meaning, nothing left for the youth It began in the streets, that's where it should have stayed It's not there anymore but a mark was truly made Some partook in action, some only observed Never the less, for us the meaning was reserved Trends come and go, people forget For us it was real a part of our youth we'll never regret Trends come and go and these people forget DEAD AND GONE And our scene was so strong, they could not understand why it lasted so long when they expected it to die and still through the years, been standing strong as one bound together by the music and the life's not always fun The Feeling was real, problems on the rise Living for each other, just trying to survive Trends come and go, people forget For us it was real a part of our youth we'll never regret Trends come and go and these people forget DEAD AND GONE Do you really wanna lose what we have made? Because they're trying to dig us a grave I stand for you, you stand for me To win the fight that's the way it has got to be Don't ever think that it's dead and gone We've done too much and for far too long They've tried to keep us down many times before When talking doesn't work well then it's time for war It's time for war! So get ready to fight!!!
That would be Ray of Today 😂 aka Ray Cappo, aka Ragunath Das and he’s a yoga instructor now. And you’re right. I’ve always thought that too. EDIT> damnit, didn’t see all the replies.

One of the best NYHC songs ever
Once a mode of expression now a means to an end
Something but a few have viewed as nothing but a mere trend
Some took it seriously, some as a spoof
Exploitation killed its meaning, nothing left for the youth
It began in the streets, that's where it should have stayed
It's not there anymore but a mark was truly made
Some partook in action, some only observed
Never the less, for us the meaning was reserved
Trends come and go, people forget
For us it was real a part of our youth we'll never regret
Trends come and go and these people forget
DEAD AND GONE
And our scene was so strong, they could not understand why
it lasted so long when they expected it to die
and still through the years, been standing strong as one
bound together by the music and the life's not always fun
The Feeling was real, problems on the rise
Living for each other, just trying to survive
Trends come and go, people forget
For us it was real a part of our youth we'll never regret
Trends come and go and these people forget
DEAD AND GONE
Do you really wanna lose what we have made?
Because they're trying to dig us a grave
I stand for you, you stand for me
To win the fight that's the way it has got to be
Don't ever think that it's dead and gone
We've done too much and for far too long
They've tried to keep us down many times before
When talking doesn't work well then it's time for war
It's time for war!
So get ready to fight!!!
Thank you👊
You and your band killed it back then.
Djinji is my boxing instructor in Miami rn

forgive me for not knowing his name but it sounds like singing whats his name from Youth Of Today?
Ray Cappo maybe? lls
Ray Cappo is who you're thinking of. It's not him. It's Djinji Brown.
That would be Ray of Today 😂 aka Ray Cappo, aka Ragunath Das and he’s a yoga instructor now.
And you’re right. I’ve always thought that too.
