'cause family brings inspirations
 one love to you and peace to all the nations
 Aztlan the Puerto Rican and Jamaican
 the African the Maori  Kouri and the Haitian
 on the chocolate reservation
 I'll take a hit and then pass the information
 to the left hand side and
 keep providin'  pride and
 sustenance and guidance
 Mass Hysteria fools breaking down the barrier
 militant cliques big up the area
 put your fist in the air now,
 show me that cha care now
 and that cha really know how
 Don't get thee behind me Satan
 I'll keep thee in front so I can kick thee in the ass and
 assassinate all your wicked inventions
 your new world order and your global intentions
 not to mention the department of corrections
 makin' money off of people in detention
 doin' time for possessions
 countin' the days in the dark they buildin' up aggressins
 progressions all the dirty lessons
 in the belly of the beast only God hears confessions
 Geronimo Pratt's still sittin' in the cellar
 done as many years as they did Mandela
 Parole board wanted to know are you remorseful
 how could I be becouse I didn't do the crime yo
 y'alls the Motha fucka's that's guilty
 lockin' me in solitary eight years of filthy
 kill the messanger, you can't kill the message
 yo I'm bringin' food for the masses

 (Chorus)
 For the Masses for the masses
 mental food food for the masses
 for the masses for the masses for the true for the true
 For the Masses for the masses
 mental food food for the masses
 for the masses for the masses for the true for the true

 So let's eat have a seat
 call the Maitre D'
 commencin' with the riddim
 I get open on the beat
 let 'em say what they say about the way that we be
 it's the year two triple O
 They can't stop we
 Aw'ight, Sellassie I the book unfolds
 I write 'cause half the story has never been told so
 No one can stop it the whole world's droppin out the socket
 Blowin' up, like NASA when I rock it
 the high tech ways of the civilized man
 can't stand my people but ya love the sun tan
 Fly the space shuttle like dancer and prancer
 you nuke the north pole now you got skin cancer
 the answer you see I'm fly like Lufthansa
 you can Valujet but you takin' big chances
 on crashes. Change your name like Cassius
 the classes be making food for the masses
 then shift to a speed that's common for the listeners
 MC's and wanna be street politicians
 in competition with the envious visions
 they chasin' paper dollars to a pop chart prison
 but listen this isn't me against you
 'cause the whole world's checking out the things that we do
 ya sold your soul to the Saint Ide's brew
 that's aw'ight I like the Sprite in you

 (Chorus
