Song by J.Flexx f/ Tenkamenin, Bahamadia, Kool & the Gang, Con-Funk-Shun<br /><br>

(Here we are in this day and age still loyal to the state of confusion. Why<br>

is it only tragedy when harmony unites the people of this nation. We must<br>

learn to break this cycle of hate and disrespect among our brothers and<br>

sisters and we must stop asking the question: why? Start spreading the<br>

message of one love)<br>

<br>

[Verse 1: J.Flexx]<br>

<br>

My heroes catchin 3 or 4 thru they corridor<br>

They blast on em, hit the gas on em, last call<br>

A bullet make a life shatter like a glass jaw<br>

Look like the devil gettin just what he axe for when the gas draw<br>

They wanna blame it on the gangs but it's a bigger picture<br>

cos why we're steady dyin somebody gettin richer<br>

Listen to what I'm spittin, who you think benefittin<br>

while all these heads splittin they money-gettin<br>

See the gangbangin ain't all about the red and blue<br>

cos some many's corporations is gangstas too<br>

They rub you out in a minute gettin greedier and greedier<br>

Buyin out major labels and pimpin the media<br>

Orchestratin beef between the west and east<br>

Kill a superstar, blow up his next release<br>

We got to put them straps down cos if you let them stay dead<br>

Every death in black America is gang related<br>

Yeah<br>

<br>

[Chorus:]<br>

<br>

A change is gonna come to our lives (A change to come)<br>

I'm not sayin it's wrong (A change to come)<br>

We've reached a point and we have to decide (A change to come)<br>

if we should go on (A change to come)<br>

<br>

[Verse 2: Tenkamenin]<br>

<br>

I'm fallin from the heavens screamin out "Lord please!<br>

Let me go so I can check up on my younger seeds"<br>

To show em right so they won't reach these penetentiaries<br>

cos over the years that's what them folks want us to turn out to be, and<br>

just release you<br>

When I was young I wanted to be a thug<br>

hang on the corner, smoke my weed and try to sell my drugs and show no love<br>

In '97, all this had to change<br>

So many murdered behind unnecessarily petty games, it's all a shame<br>

Doin crimes as a past time<br>

Tryin my best to stay alive is all that's on my mind<br>

I hit my knees and drop my head between and ask the Lord<br>

"Please let me make it thru this struggle" even though it's hard<br>

Jealousy got us hatin it, wantin to kill each other though<br>

What ever happened to the sayin that we are all bro's<br>

Keep it up and best believe you, I will finally see it's gang related<br>

So we best to let the killin cease, now rest in peace<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

[Verse 3: J.Flexx]<br>

<br>

Tell me how many Haiti bottles I gotta empty<br>

before I wise up and stop lettin the devil tempt me<br>

Usin materialism to jealousy to pimp me<br>

Live by the gun, die by the gun, to put it simply it's gettin shady<br>

They got me mad like rabies, headed for Haiti's<br>

Sellin they soul for a Mercedes and fly ladies<br>

All this dirt being done ain't gang related<br>

We got to take our former glory y'all, reinstate it<br>

<br>

(People are in trouble in America. As a matter of fact, people are in<br>

trouble throughout the Earth. We have returned into a force of death and<br>

destruction on ourselves. We were never meant to be trapped in this<br>

darkness, but there's always light in the midst of the darkness if you know<br>

where to find it. Nothin is impossible. If you know who you were you<br>

wouldn't wanna be anything but who you are. We have one change but one<br>

cause and that's to frown one love)<br>

<br>

[Chorus to fade]<br>

<br>
