We livin' in a mean time and an aggressive time

a painful time, a time when cynicism rots the vine

in a time where violence blocks the summer shine

lifetimes, go by in a flash

in a search for love, in a search for cash

everybody wanna be some fat tycoon

everybody wanna be on a tropic honeymoon

nobody wanna sing a little bit out of tune

or be the backbone of a rebel platoon

it's too soon to step out of line

you might get laughed at you might get fined

but do you feel me when I say I feel pain everyday

when I see the way my friends gotta slave

and never get ahead of the bills they gotta pay

no way no way

some make a living doing killing Columbia penicillin

some are willing to play the villain they just cillin'

to pass the time, pass the information

or pass the wine

pass the buck or pass the baton

but can't pass the police or the pentagon

the IRS or the upper echelon

I think it's time to make a move on the contradiction


(chorus)

Bom-Bom, rock the nation

take over television and radio station

Bom-Bom, rock the nation

give the corporation some complications


This is the dawning of our time I say it one more time

to emphasis the meaning of my rhyme

to rise above all the dirt and grime

add the right spice at the right time

fuck the constitution

are we part of the solution or we part of the pollution

sittin' by and wonderin' why

things aren't the way we like to find them to be, to be

for you and for me the people over there and the ones in between

check our habitation are we a peace lovin' nation

peace lovin' nation

I have a reasonable doubt I think I'll just spell it out

there's no reason to scream or to shout

the NRA just bought a man's soul

then he jumps up and shouts gun control

the government says that killin' a sin

unless you kill a murderer with a lethal syringe

so I ask again "are we peace lovers then"

some of them slang guns when they're six years old

this whole damn place seems to, lost control

so I raise my voice before I loose my soul

(chorus)


This is the way I'll express my feelings

vibe revealed and revolved spinnin' on a record y'all

try to confiscate take what I communicate with

it's ancient gift of the lip steady creating

activating passin' vocal vibrations to the blind plus seeing

human doesn't mean just being

be coming don't believe it just belife it

belongings or beloved rehearse it or recite it

while shinning drop your guns and move your tongues

battle motivation in no time lyrics come

sometimes fun others run their mouth or away

my minds co beaming like an early sunray

one day we'll get the picture and all combine

less the talking bout mines is mine and become one mind

every piece of the puzzle has its place

to build the piece of the puzzle called the human race


taking it long enough we crush the journalistic

dyslexic critters talk backwards to rap words

I'm sure raising my hands with questions and demands

statements and a plan with a map of the land

(chorus)
