[Intro]
(Koncept)
[Verse 1: MC Lyte]
No more hushin' it, it's an epidemic
We discussin' it, no more "Wait a minute"
We had enough of it, roughin' us, cuffin' us up
Leavin' us all dependent on public defenses, it's a menace
They got us twisted, Black skin don't mean we monolithic
To put it plain, we ain't the same, we are very different
Some of us is Shirley Chisholms, gifted with vision and precision
We sit prolific, bangin' on any position
I graduated head of my class from Hood High
Whenever things got complicated, I looked high
To the sky, I be acknowledgin' my Good Guy
And when they hatin' what I'm sayin', I say, "Goodbye"
[Chorus: Stevie Wonder]
Ain't nobody gonna care if you don't care
Ain't nobody gonna hold your hand
And I'm tellin' you it's fair if you don't get up and (Change your ways)
Ain't nobody gonna care if you don't care
Ain't nobody gonna hold your hand
And I'm tellin' you it's fair if you don't get up and (Change your ways)
[Verse 2: Common]
The depths of a man, the depths of where I stand
This is holy land, as my soul re-plans
To cross the burning sands, my thoughts, they turn to hands
Rough times with these rhymes, the Irene Caravan
Of love, my life is a span that is planned
By the Master who has the holy world in His hands
I wanna leave a mark, that's more than a brand
For the fire next time, I need more than a fan
Though everything is grand, I see the bigger picture
If life is a movie, then I'ma see it with ya
I picked a place in life to be a victor
A keeper of my brothers and I'm reaching for my sisters
In due time, divine order of operations
Power to the people, that's world dominations
For all the modulations and all the constellations
On Earth as it is in Heaven, that's the proclamation
