[Featuring Common]

[Grand Puba]

Yeah, yeah yeah yeah

One time as we do it like this, yeah

Grand Puba, Common Sense

[Common]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

It's all love y'all (3X) what you say?

Intro/Chorus: all, Common

[all] Maybe one day we can work it out

Strive to understand what life's about

All it seems to be is sadness and pain

Blood like rain clogs urban drains

[Com] When we gonna realize and make the change

And take the blame, erase the shame

Cause new millenium is knockin at your door

The New World Order's what they got in store

[Grand Puba]

Now I can't stress this enough, life sure is rough

You gotta go through a whole lotta shit

Just for you to get a little bit

Born into existence where your existence is non-existant

but your persistance overcomes their resistance

Your daily mechanism is your defense, whether it be

past or present tense, don't be dense

I'm droppin this with Common Sense (true indeed)

As we linger on into the darkness

Poisoned by society where high-anxiety is just one variety

Hatin each other is another, brotha

I mean I'm really true to the shit, my spit ain't just spit

My duty is to save my people from all of this shit

And if I can get somethin for doin that then I'm gon' get

And I won't quit

My ways and action manifest in my way of thinkin

I just can't stand around and do nothin

while my people sinkin

I told you that I stay true

And I gotta do, what I can do, when I can do, so

Chorus

[Common]

Grand Pu...I'ma do....what I gotta do....what I can do

It's one for all like Brand Nu-bian, feedin the multitudes

Of five loads, dead men walkin wit
