United minds of America

Make your vocal chords reach the clouds and

Touch the crowd of folks that over-stand there's no jokes

We must network together as one and

Tell the oppressor we'll take no less than

Total justice a social setting yo I'm bettin'

We can stop new world order

Start servin' liberty may I take your order

Free political prisoners without no question

Let's give props where due

If it was you wouldn't you want to know

That someone cares for what you do so let's show

Political prisoners, homeless humans, organizations

Various movements

That the people in America have some discipline

To act on their belief therefore stress activism

Although you are only one person

If for truth you still thirst well thirst then

Make the difference by joining

Some organization or some movement

Let me explain the powers that be

Are families of power with old money

Unfortunately on their souls hangs a sold sign

And in righteous sight they are so blind!

Infatuated with their power and their greed

They don't see that GOD is the answer

Greed has planted a seed within the souls of the 13 families

Drug dealers and hustlers

All my brothers and sisters that are hustlers

Selling crack cocaine to your followers

To me you're a sell out an uncle Tom

In the tom tom club droppin' bombs

Causing confusion shootin' and killin'

You're playin the role putting fear in populations

Making us allow the system to "protect" us

Allowing the chicken snake to protect the chickens

Police brutality claiming victims

The powers that be may come with their solutions

But trust me their trees bear No fruits no

I guess that's why I get spiritual

Spirituality supports reality no not catholic no not Baptist

No not passive

Very active!



United minds of the Americas

Minds of Africa and the Caribbean

And the Europeans and the Asians and Australians

It's not just race we're all in this together!

Lets play a game of jeopardy what's the question?

Social Medicines the answer

I try to eat healthy to avoid the cancer

One ounce of prevention beats 100 pounds of cure

Pure ways of living is not hippish

It's not white not black it's just conscious

Conscious of your health, conscious of your self

Instead of being so damn conscious of your wealth

(or lack of so)

DO you know about the Panthers,

The MOVE organization, Kwame

Nkrumah, the Zulu nation or just Nikes and Pumas

Or your fascination with the so-called be-Boy fashion nation.

If you can please recycle

Even the people in the hood please recycle

I know it wasn't our fault that they went psycho

They meaning industry exec's who flex for profit!

Traditional societies and islanders

Please retain your culture and don't give up!

Don't you understand we must understand this

If we want to live in bliss
