Goapele - Upside Down lyrics

[Planet Asia] The meaning of this song is Never take things on face value The truth shall set you free, yknahmsayin? Truth is the power to resurrect the mentally dead From their state of unawareness So on that note, for all my peoples in the U.S.A Check it out [Chorus: Planet Asia] + (Goapele) (Up.. side.. down) Uh-huh that's right we gettin down Guess who's comin to yo' town I was lost but now I'm found (up.. down) Now I'm bout to turn America upside down (upside dowwwwn) (Up.. side.. down) Upside down (And if you come down) Upside down, upside down (Up, down, ohhhhhhhhhhhhh) [Verse One: Planet Asia] It's like the great {?} to who made the Egyptian scriptures I'm spiritual cultivation the way my words entered your dome No stoppin once the mission is known You know the topic many prophets can't physically show 'em And many different pedigrees sent from out the heavens to the chosen So the struggle is maintain some integrity And until it's over, I shall remain a soldier Like Aztecs with aspects that they govern, it's on Wanna live, you gotta eat from the tree And reach the degree, the medicine for my peoples is history lost And in religion, the mystery cost Unofficially off brothers who be frosted mentally Black man recognize the science of life It's all you, right and exact, it's actual fact It's all you, everything in existance The sun the moon the stars the galaxy and every dimension f** a pagan religion, let's look at the state of our livin And I say it again for all my peoples layin in prison Cause what's the cure if it don't change the condition? If it's holy it's pure, undiluted in any form with no mixtures Many claim a parable and scroll the scriptures But what's the story if you never catch the whole adventure And we want the facts right now Or else we bout to turn America, upside down [Chorus] + ad libs [Verse Two: Planet Asia] Poisonous nights, street life, police lights A whole nation of men women and kids that don't eat right It's freedom or d**h, kingmanship or slaves to success And why the f** I owe the government net? They're puttin holes in my check While undercovers put the holes in our chest from Every corner to block they got us posin for d**h some Get out of this, but most don't even know what the knowledge is Children payin tuition to these brainwashed colleges Still in the same position they had us and still got us in Look at where all the problems begin Where the problem begins, is when you motherf**ers try to pretend And try to act like you ain't really bout the dollars and cents A scholar was sent, to shed some proper knowledge and gems More than Pradas and Timbs, papi came to father his kin I came to add another part to the trend And add the sword to the devil's lapel Cause me and him could never have resemblence Simply cause his level is Hell, never I fail Never will and never shall, forever real 'til my words, from now on, 'til I'm dirt Forever with my five fingers put together puttin in work I'm your black star power, the now or never shout of let's get free Your scientist, the future of tomorrow has come And we want some answers right now Or else we bout to turn America, upside down [Chorus] + ad libs [Planet Asia] w/ Goapele ad libbing Uh-huh that's right we gettin down Guess who's comin to yo' town I was lost but now I'm found And I'm bout to turn America, upside down Upside down, upside down, upside down Turn America upside down [Goapele keeps ad libbing] [Planet Asia] Yeah, real people All my real people walkin through life Not takin things on face value, knahmsayin?
