When I see the news on TV
All I wanna do is change the channel
This world gotta be smooth
Like the ivory on my piano
And now it's evident we gotta uphold the status quo
This world needs the antidote
I don't need more bank rolls
Holding that candle
That burning light
By it's handle
With each and every stride
Making sure I don't mishandle this precious deed
Bestowed upon me
Just look around ya
People be stressed, pullin hair like ratatouille
But you know that I got a duty to pursue
Fixed on the spirit
No one can inhibit
I've been told that I'm on a mission
And I know just where to start
With you and I
It's implicit
Truly explicit
We are never given a challenge that is above our own limits
It's just the truth
No excuses
You hear me?
We ain't about that weakness
Entry by troops
We that brigade
We carry on
Carry forth
Slow and steady wins the race
Just go and ask that tortoise
This that super reverent, evanescent, ever-gentle, refraining from sentimental flow
Yeah man, you already know
This world needs saving
We ain't gonna let it cave in
Social norms we be chasing
But like a concrete basement
Man, they're kinda tasteless
Chilling on my futon
That I sleep on and where my dreams always seem to spawn It's so funny how rapidly one's mind can change and feed upon Those ugly needy urges
For, you know
Those useless bits that verge
On our preconceived thoughts and try to leave us in the dirt
Some would even say
Yo, I've been lifted
But my morals never shifted
Look at the wall
All I see is things looking like straight up hieroglyphics
We can change the world
Don't imagine though
Let it happen
Take action
Got a lot of thoughts on my mind, but not a lot of time
Like, how unity in diversity ain't a product of serendipity
Or, a lot of questions
One of which is: "Are you with me?"
Cause we about to make history
