Lyrics

[00:18] Lately I've been in a life like limbo
[00:20] Looking out of a smudged up window
[00:22] We're not sure where our lives are going
[00:24] Friends, it's summer outside but yet we're snowed in
[00:26] Don't know where our next dollar's coming from
[00:29] Living the life of a poor musician
[00:31] Headliner's strong so he keeps his 9 to 5
[00:33] Cutting brothers' hair as a means of staying alive
[00:35] If it wasn't for the rhythm
[00:37] I think we would have given up by now
[00:40] This system has gotten the best of me
[00:42] Now I pray for God to invest in me
[00:44] My dignity, invest his glory
[00:46] Give me the strength so i can finish the story
[00:48] Keep on searching for the right way to go out'
[00:50] Cuz going out is what it's all about
[00:53] You can't be passive, gotta be active
[00:55] Can't go with what looks attractive
[00:57] Gotta learn all I can while
[00:58] I'm able Headliner expresses his feeling on those turntables
[01:01] When we get our chance
[01:04] To make a good living of the music we program
[01:06] We don't sell out just to be sold out
[01:08] Brothers and sisters, do you know what I'm yapping about ?'
[01:10] Cuz if they take away our contract
[01:12] We still got talent and we still got contacts'
[01:14] Cuz we're worked real hard to get this far
[01:17] We're catching the bus before we bought the car, ya see
[01:19] Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day
[01:23] Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever
[01:27] Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day
[01:32] Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever
[01:36] Got to get political
[01:39] Political I gotta get
[01:41] Grown but can't hold my own
[01:43] So this government needs to be overthrown
[01:45] Brothers with the A Ks and the 9
[01:47] MsNeed to learn how to correctly shoot 'em
[01:49] Save those rounds for a revolution
[01:52] Poor whites and blacks bum rushing the system
[01:54] But I tell you ain't no room for gangstaz'
[01:56] Cuz gangstaz do dirty work and get pimped by mobsters
[01:58] Some fat Italian eating pasta 'n lobster
[02:00] Brothers getting jailed and mobsters own the coppers
[02:02] So you say you want out of the ghetto
[02:05] First the political prisoners must be let go
[02:07] And you must let go of your power master
[02:09] My liquor got to your powerful master
[02:11] You'll never get out without much discipline
[02:13] Raise your fist but also raise your children
[02:16] So when you die the movement moves on'
[02:18] Cuz with revolution, ain't no future in front y'all
[02:20] Direct your anger, love, nothing's ever built on hate
[02:24] Instead love, love your life, tackle the government
[02:27] The spooks that break down the door are
[02:28] Heaven sent
[02:28] And my phrase went
[02:28] Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day
[02:33] Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever
[02:37] Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day
[02:42] Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever
[02:46] Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day
[02:51] Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever
[02:55] Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day
[02:59] Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever
[04:01] Rhythm makes your body move
[04:03] Rhythm makes your mind move
[04:05] Rhythm makes your elbows groove
[04:07] Rhythm makes that behind move
[04:09] Rhythm makes the people move
[04:11] Rhythm makes you want to move
[04:14] Rhythm makes your mind soothe
[04:16] You know next stop is Jerusalem
