lyrics
You're looking at a man barely alive; a man
told so many lies his heart stopped: His third eye
locked down , blinded to the knowledge of self that brings
wealth to they world that THEY say is developing
Dollars made six milion men lobotomised;
don't even use the right side of their brains: they write
legalese like a life sentence on parole for
the children of the Ghetto; the laws are breaking them
We have the power to regain and rebuild we didn't
give away the chance to dance and be free again:
We know how to make it better; it's just another
battle in the war NEVER give up on the cause when we
know our POWER
we can make it better. we can be stronger, we can learn faster
we can make it better for these rappers
dissing other rappers chatting bout who's crapper
throw way lyrics like sweet wrappers
while the streets fill with rappers strapping
guns to their bodies, popping caps where it used to be
baseball caps and body popping; all that mattered was Black Vinyl
You wont fight back and bite the hand that feeds?
Even when the hand that feeds
hands out slaps until your face bleeds?
I know I MUST be sounding like a broken record;
I'll keep saying the same until I see a change
One giant leap for mankind to BE kind
on small step is the first step to find
when we find our POWER
We can make it better. we can be stronger, we can learn faster
Two thirds genocide; one quarter refugee
three fifths colonial privileged nationality
one drop son of a racist who placed his trust
in gentrification making seperation between us and
half the time I've got half a mind to give up
on statistics turning whole communities into factions;
but when I hear that snare, it kicks starts this chain reaction
bass lines bigger than the bottom of the biggest fraction
chakras stacked up and geared up and opened up
to consciousness compounding sounds of satisfaction but
science won't keep you happy till you know the maths son -
go get your calculator; I'll put this record back on
you're half blind, you don't need bionic vision
to see we've got a greater mission than a life in prison
we've all fallen from a great height, crash landed
but this technology can build a better man
when we know our POWER
