Hey...stay...nappy roots....yeah...hey..

                    Now if the world was my oyster



                      Baby girl everyday could be red lobster 



                      And you would be draped in pearls



                      But it's not read the front page herald we need help 



                      Sometime i wish i could save the world 



                      Till death i wonder if there's any heros left 



                      Quiet is kept won't hold my breath 



                      Land of the slaves, home of the graves



                      Of war aids, young aids, gone crazed 



                      These military ways in a flak scene

                    Love and basketball



                      Blood and alcohol 



                      Cryin' my eyes out 



                      As i watch the tower fall 



                      Nowhere is safe, comfort is a coffin man



                      Lookin' out the window duckin' and crawlin' man 



                      Daddy your son is callin' man 



                      Look at this broken man 



                      With broken plans 



                      Thankfull as hell we holdin' hands



                      Now i'm feelin' love used to livin' it up



                      Not givin' a f***, livin's enough

                    You got to stand for something

                    How about some hardcore



                      Save the world 



                      Around the globe in ninety days 



                      Hell on earth they say its nintey-nine ways



                      To meet your maker, dare the devil and i bet you be brave 



                      It's just a phase 



                      Like in puberty at school to be crazed 



                      I got the classroom bully on my list to behave 



                      And if he cant then i'ma show him what it means to be saved 



                      I'm just a nerd on my last straw 



                      Bout ten of this my last call 



                      My self esteem extended like this planet bout to blast off 



                      3 - 2 - 1 



                      Feel the black planet 



                      I'm like damn is that granite 



                      That I could be a rapper, a hobo, or some mechanic 



                      That I could be a failure, in fact thats how I planned it 



                      Cause I could never say the whole world is too demanding 



                      And I could never video shoes I couldnt handle it 



                      So what if i tried to just do scales and not dibs 



                      And i settled every god in the crib untill then



                      Just prepared for this war to begin so you could stand up

                    You got to stand for something



                      (so you can stand up)



                      You got to stand for something



                      (understand)



                      You got to stand for something



                      (but nothing)

                    Mentally still they whippin' us 



                      30 lashes 



                      Ain't no love, ain't no sympathy 



                      Them dirty bastards 



                      Be washin' our brains with chemicals 



                      Insubliminal leaving our sight impaired



                      But its right there 



                      In plain view claim you 



                      Pack a pistol already but the missles are already aimed to shoot 



                      One push of a button and this whole ****** game is through 



                      All of a sudden there's mushroom clouds 



                      Evacuate the crowd 



                      It's too late, it contaminates the (?) 



                      The symptoms are maliable contagious 



                      Without protection its inffecting all ages 



                      Soon your body's going through stages 



                      All at once the machine rages 

                    Right now



                      (contaminate the planet, do it)



                      Right now



                      (no time is better than the present)



                      Right now



                      (we got to see some homie make it)



                      Right now



                      (im tired of this now)



                      Right now



                      (exterminate the planet, do it)



                      Right now



                      (no time is better than the present)
