| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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!
|
| 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. |
