what we do just to live,
how we give, with no expectations, no hesitation,
even if there is no promise of an ROI, I will fly
kiss the sky, even if just in my mind
high sign of the times, how we grind till we die
are we wrong for wanting to go home
we seen see the world turn, we seen the water burn
and our mother being torn, Industrial revolution,
steps forward or steps backward,
How we not listen to elders just cuz they don’t have a masters
now who we fooling, this living and excess and consuming
over population and pollution, global warming, abnormal storming
holes formed in the ozone, testing and cloning of chromosomes
so far away, so far gone, so far away from home

got lost in concrete usa,
anywhere that you go anywhere that you stay
its all the same ain't a damn thing change but the area code
gotta carry a load like no other, cuz we come from a place
where sisters are mothers and mothers are fathers
needa be raising our own, sons and daughter
but we cant be shamed, play the blame game
gotta do something, ima quit running, bring the drums in
and the, and the one in, cuz it’s the one that’ll make that change
cuz it’s the one that’ll break those chains, break the cycle
its vital to the survival of my people,
disconnect and reconnect, disrespect and re-respect
from the east to the west we all in..
we can be the change that we wanna see
