Juice Magazin - Rock the Nation lyrics

[Intro] Rock the nation Rock the nation Rock the nation Rock the nation Rock the nation Rock the nation Rock the nation Rock the nation [Verse 1: Michael Franti] We livin' in a mean time and an aggressive time A painful time a time where 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 bills they gotta pay No way no way! Some make a living doing k**ing Colombian penicillin Some are willing to play the villain they just chillin' To pa** the time, pa** the information or pa** the wine Pa** the buck or pa** the baton, but you can't pa** the police or the Pentagon, the I.R.S. 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 the truth shall come Give the corporation some complication! Say ooh-ooh (rock the nation) [Verse 2: Michael Franti] This is the dawning of our time, I say it one more time To emphasize the meaning of my rhyme To rise above all the dirt and grime Add the right spice at the right time f** the constitution, are we part of the solution? Or are we part of the pollution? Sittin' by and wonderin' why Things ain'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 peace lovin' nation, peace lovin' nation I have a reasonable doubt, I think I'll just spell it out There's no need to scream or to shout The N.R.A. just bought a man's soul Then he jumps up and shouts "gun control" The government say that k**in' is a sin Unless you k** a murderer with a lethal syringe So I ask again "are we peace lover's then?" Some of them slang guns when they six years old Some of them end up in some six foot hole This whole damn place seems to lost control So I raise my voice before I lose my soul (chorus) [Verse 3: Radioactive] 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 pa**in vocal vibrations to the blind plus the seeing Human doesn't mean just being Be coming don't believe it just be-life it Belongings or beloved rehearse it or recite it While shining 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 formal journalistic Dyslexic critters talk backwords to rap words I'm sure raising my hands with questions and demands statements and a plan With a map of the land (chorus)
