From Slave ships to nice whips
Walking barefoot to having fly kicks
Same old tricks but new chicks
Attitudes make you sick
Going under the knife to make yourself thick
Just listen a little bit
Back in the day we lived with a purpose
Now the purpose seem worthless
Let's think where we came from
When we danced to the night drums
Walking naked seeing everybody's bum bum
Now we walk with loaded guns
Father's turning their back on their suns
Why we gotta be so dumb
What ever happened to living and practicing morals
We used to make love, now its all just oral
What ever happened to not giving up, and standing to fight
Now everything we do isn't right
Taking each other life, Sleeping with your brother's wife
Man this aint right
What ever happened to helping those in need
Can't give to the poor, cause we're filled with greed
Too lazy to read, or to roll up our sleeves
Lacking humility to even pray on our knees
How come the educated is never celebrated
But the drug dealers are the only ones imitated
Change has to start now, so lets change the trends
And if you have a problem with someone make amends
Instead of always trying to get revenge
When will the hatred end?
Can never find the answers cause we don't know where to begin
Start with the image you see in your reflection
And stop judging others based on complexion
We all got dreams so be afraid to chase it
If you have fears just stand and face it
See now we getting back to the basics
Spread a little love in all the many places
The places that you go, the people that you see
Being nice these days seem like a deadly disease
Will the warfare ever cease? So we can live with peace
Or will another mother's door be decorated with a wreath
I know sometimes its hard to maintain
When some people act without using their brain
And it seems like everyone has went insane
But the smallest gestures can lead to the biggest change
So start today, before time passes and it comes to an end
Cause when we work together we all win..
