United Minds |
| United minds of America |
| make your vocal chords reach the clouds and |
| touch the crowd of folks that overstand there’s no jokes |
| we must network together as one & |
| tell the oppressor we’ll take no less than |
| total justice a social setting yo I’m bettin' |
| we can stop new world order |
| start servin liberty may I take your order |
| free political prisoners without no question |
| let’s give props where due |
| If it was you wouldn’t you want to know |
| that someone cares for what you do so let’s show |
| political prisoners, homeless humans, organizations |
| various movements |
| that the people in America have some discipline |
| to act on their belief therefore stress activism |
| although you are only one person |
| if for truth you still thirst well thirst then |
| make the difference by joining |
| some organization or some movement |
| let me explain the powers that be |
| are families of power with old money |
| Unfortunately on their souls hangs a sold sign |
| and in righteous sight they are so blind! |
| Infatuated with their power and their greed |
| they don’t see that GOD is the answer |
| Greed has planted a seed within the souls of the 13 families |
| drug dealers and hustlers |
| All my brothers and sisters that are hustlers |
| selling crack cocaine to your followers |
| to me you’re a sell out an uncle Tom |
| in the tom tom club droppin bombs |
| Causing confusion shootin and killin' |
| you’re playin the role putting fear in populations |
| making us allow the system to «protect"us |
| allowing the chicken snake to protect the chickens |
| police brutality claiming victims |
| the powers that be may come with their solutions |
| but trust me their trees bear No fruits no |
| I guess that’s why I get spiritual |
| spirituality supports reality no not catholic no not Baptist |
| no not passive |
| very active! |
| United minds of the Americas |
| minds of Africa and the Caribbean |
| and the Europeans and the Asians and Australians |
| it’s not just race we’re all in this together! |
| Lets play a game of jeopardy what’s the question? |
| Social Medicines the answer |
| I try to eat healthy to avoid the cancer |
| one ounce of prevention beats 100 pounds of cure |
| pure ways of living is not hippish |
| it’s not white not black it’s just conscious |
| conscious of your health, conscious of your self |
| instead of being so damn conscious of your wealth |
| (or lack of so…) |
| DO you know about the Panthers, |
| the MOVE organization, Kwame |
| Nkrumah, the Zulu nation or just Nikes and Pumas |
| or your fascination with the so-called B-Boy fashion nation. |
| If you can please recycle |
| even the people in the hood please recycle |
| I know it wasn’t our fault that they went psycho |
| they meaning industry exec’s who flex for profit! |
| Traditional societies and islanders |
| please retain your culture and don’t give up! |
| Don’t you understand we must understand this |
| if we want to live in bliss |
