Here we go, here we go on the smooth side
|
Let's take a ride in stride and I'm the guide
|
with the source, and of course - I don't wanna be the king or boss
|
I just wanna get my point across
|
Cause it's time to organize and open your eyes
|
Realize, we on the rise
|
to the climax, time to take charge
|
Whoever said we can't live large?
|
To seek out fortune without distortion
|
and stop livin for just a small portion
|
There is a move to make, we gotta take a chance to break
|
all chains become awake
|
Cause this is the new way, to be proud and brave
|
and I ain't goin out like a slave
|
In eighty-nine, I'm livin like a champ
|
Step out my face, talkin bout a food stamp
|
Child please, put it at ease
|
Freeze, it's time to get paid in times like these
|
We can't take shorts or take a loss
|
So take it from the Kane and go for yours, because
|
|
* Chorus *
|
|
Uh-huh
|
There, comes a time, where we can't be in the rear
|
We gotta step up front, to get our share
|
Make the change, cause we're not inferior
|
For example, there was a black Ms. America
|
Let's start to do for ourself
|
We can't depend on no one else or the board of health
|
So hold your own or else you're gonna find
|
that if you play off of crime you go out like Aunt Jemimah
|
We gotta put it in overdrive and strive to survive
|
to stay alive, that's the reason I've
|
came to, motivate us to the length
|
Effort of strength makes you grow inch by inch
|
Takin no mediums or small at all
|
We gotta walk not crawl or else take a fall
|
What used to be just hopes and thoughts
|
are now in effect, and we can't take shorts, because
|
|
* Chorus *
|
|
Swing on that right there, pump it up, here we go
|
Uh-huh, uh-huh, pump it up, here we go
|
One more thing
|
Let's unite together, we can't sever never
|
no matter what or what-ever
|
Because we need unity to find justice
|
Just I See Equality so bust this
|
Take a stand and command to demand what's grand
|
I know we can if we just understand
|
the true way of livin that was really meant for us
|
So one more time, kick the chorus!
|
|
* Chorus 2X *
|
|
Ah keep it goin y'all
|
A Prince Paul, rulin em all y'all
|
A Prince Paul, schoolin em all y'all
|
And Tony, Tony, Tony, Tony
|
And Tony Tone never leavin the girls alone
|
Tony Tone never leavin the girls alone
|
And you don't stop, and you don't stop
|
And you don't stop, and you don't stop..
