[Intro: Chi-King]
Yo, this is going out to every man, woman and child
Ya nah I mean? Cuz we moving towards the future as one
Yo, let's go...

[Chi-King]
My people walk the mountains, said walk with me and
My people listened when Martin Luther was spitting it
My people sat when Rosa decided to Park
And the children of the world had a special place in their heart
When Missy played the tune it capture the whole room
Carlos Santana, smooth cool, showed men the tune
We hit 'em in the head like dreams do come true
But for real dog, it's all on you
Walk with a pace, it's your world, aspire to be great
You gotta keep with the real, homey, and watch for the Jakes
See life has a balance, give as much as you take
Study ya opposition, definition for higher living
Inspire children, dodge hate for better living
The truth is what they listen, changing lives by the millions

[Interlude: Chi-King]
Yea, man, everyday we have alive we have a chance to make a change in ourself
For our family, for our people, to move as one
Ya nah I mean? And I think we should take that chance
Know I'm saying? Do it for the people, man
Let's go

[Chorus 2X: Chi-King]
Don't keep on waiting, let your life go by
Be the truth, no living a lie
Said we gon' make it and we both gon' try
And tomorrow, yes, the Sun gon' rise
The Sun gon' rise...

[Raison the Zoo Keeper]
I lived this long, long life and I ain't pay in years
Grey hair, might've had a, brought me tears
But life is beautiful, so listen, my dreams
I'ma show you in the right direction, know what I mean?
All the things in my life, yo, you never believe
I done been around the corner, hey, I'm back again
And from the streets to the pen then I'm back again
Brooklyn Zu, yea, the Zu, yea, we back to win

[12 O'Clock]
See, black people, white people
We all in this world, we all be equal
You got good, you got people that's evil
And wear the colors like Evil Kenevil
In this American dream to get some CREAM
You finish med school and ya driving a Beam
We need teachers that teach like "Lean on Me"
Ring Bells like L, do movies and sing

[Chorus 2X]

[Prodigal Sunn]
Clearly designed, defined, so every ear can hear it
So get it with spirit, well others feel to look upon the wicked
Searching for the lottery ticket, looking for a way out
Drinking Guiness Stout, North, East, West, South
I spit it out the mouth, Papa told me, get it out
Mama bailed me out, the fam never sell me out
Through the good and the bad, price of living is priceless
Always remain righteous, the same stay trying to bite us
Fight us, Bush and Cheney is King Titus
of Pompei, greener than green, they off at Bombay
On the highway, jamming to some Curtis May'
Escaping the field where slugs peal, drugs kill
Blood spills, another case on The Shield
The government seals, it's three bills, birth or the kill?
The steel or the mill? Open my eyes, wise to the drill
Stacking them trills like Capitol Hill
That's what I'm saying, niggaz

[Chorus 2X]
