Title: Readjustment
|
|
[Man's voice]
|
The end...justifies the means
|
Two-two-two wrongs...make, a right
|
I-I should come first, in this nation
|
|
[Q]
|
You gotta readjust the means
|
I'll tell you what I mean
|
Sometimes you gotta work it out
|
Sometimes you gotta figure it out
|
|
You gotta readjust the means
|
I'll tell you what I mean
|
Sometimes you gotta work it out
|
Sometimes you gotta figure it out
|
Yeah, yeah...yeah
|
|
[Afu-Ra]
|
I have so many questions, guessin' what life's about
|
Usin' seven of my nine lives, figurin' out
|
I'm goin' through it day to day
|
Or should I say: maze to maze?
|
I know that jewels light the way, listen
|
There's too many shades of grey, tryin' to stay, right
|
Peripheral vision, is seekin' out my sunlight
|
I know that love is love, and hate is hate
|
Twenty-seven years of tribulation marking my case
|
Yeah, I guess I'm stressing my case
|
There's only one thing I'm promised in life
|
That's my fate
|
Born to set the pace while I'm racin' the race
|
I know it's hard work, that's why I'm holdin' the ace
|
As I look to jump, up on that righteous path
|
I got angels on one shoulder, demons on the other half
|
A mirror face to face, surveying my landscape
|
All the while I be singing this space
|
|
[Q]
|
You gotta readjust the means
|
I'll tell you what I mean
|
Sometimes you gotta work it out
|
Sometimes you gotta figure it out
|
|
You gotta readjust the means
|
I'll tell you what I mean
|
Sometimes you gotta work it out
|
Sometimes you gotta figure it out
|
Yeah, yeah...yeah
|
|
[Afu-Ra]
|
As we haze through the haze of enslavement
|
While the sweat's beatin millions of feet pound on the pavement
|
I know it's nine to five, or five to nine
|
Forget about the thoughts that I'm wastin' my time
|
|
Just use the tutelage, of your legendary fore-fathers
|
Cos right now, we now the struggle is ours
|
It's not too complicated, just combinations of pulling our resources
|
Of our sisters and our brothers
|
Who be a alike, that's a little insight
|
The strength be coming in numbers it's like dynamite
|
No riddle right, spit it right, about some real life
|
And are we really rich, at peace and settled?
|
When everyday homeless people peddle for nickels
|
While Easy Mo Bee strikin' a chord
|
Of this hip-hop oracle, desires for life
|
And what? You know what I'm coming to
|
It's just my point of view
|
|
[Q]
|
You gotta readjust the means
|
I'll tell you what I mean
|
Sometimes you gotta work it out
|
Sometimes you gotta figure it out
|
|
You gotta readjust the means
|
I'll tell you what I mean
|
Sometimes you gotta work it out
|
Sometimes you gotta figure it out
|
Yeah, yeah...yeah yeah yeah (reverbs)
|
|
[Afu-Ra]
|
And as we realise life, and what?
|
We gotta suck it in
|
And are we droppin' some knowledge, or are we frontin' an'?
|
Your course in life, no matter how you rub it in
|
There's so many roads, either you strugglin' or bubblin'
|
|
[Q]
|
You gotta readjust the means
|
I'll tell you what I mean
|
Sometimes you gotta work it out
|
Sometimes you gotta figure it out
|
|
You gotta readjust the means
|
I'll tell you what I mean
|
Sometimes you gotta work it out
|
Sometimes you gotta figure it out
|
|
You gotta readjust the means
|
I'll tell you what I mean
|
Sometimes you gotta work it out
|
Sometimes you gotta figure it out
|
|
You gotta readjust the means
|
Tell me what I mean
|
Sometimes you gotta work it out
|
Sometimes you gotta figure it out
|
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
