| I been thinking about this, for a mighty long time
|
| The condition of music, been weighing on my mind
|
| We don’t know where we’re going, and don’t care where we’ve been so
|
| The resistance is growing, in ways you can’t imagine so we
|
| Can’t stop 'til this stronghold breaks
|
| Must act now, no time to wait
|
| No more handouts, it’s time to take
|
| A stand and redefine our place
|
| See I been thinking about this, for a mighty long time
|
| The condition of music, been weighing on my mind
|
| You see these kids they listen, and wanna be what they see so
|
| We all have a mission, it’s our responsibility
|
| To give them something that will teach
|
| More than drugs and life in the streets
|
| They’re not too far, our arms can reach
|
| Life and death is in the words we speak
|
| See I been thinking about this, for a mighty long time
|
| The condition of music, been weighing on my mind
|
| It’s weighing on my mind
|
| It’s weighing on my mind
|
| Gotta feel the beat
|
| Ya gotta feel the beat
|
| Ya gotta feel the beat
|
| Ya gotta feel the beat
|
| See I been thinking about this, for a mighty long time
|
| The condition of music, it’s weighing on my mind
|
| All we preach is violence, and wonder why we’re dying
|
| Or life’s just a party, it’s all Patron and Bacardi
|
| But there’s just so much we can say
|
| If we shine bright, they’ll find their way
|
| Don’t wait for tomorrow, take a chance today
|
| ‘cause at this age, their mind’s all clay
|
| See I been thinking about this, for a mighty long time
|
| The condition of music, it’s weighing on my mind
|
| We don’t respect our women, but through them life is given
|
| Think about the life you’re living, would your mom be proud or would she
|
| Shed tears when she hears your songs
|
| Wondering where did she go wrong?
|
| You don’t have to be an industry pawn in the game of control that’s centuries
|
| long
|
| See I’ve been thinking about this, for a mighty long time
|
| The condition of music, it’s weighing on my mind
|
| Gotta feel the beat
|
| Gotta feel the beat
|
| Gotta feel the beat
|
| Gotta feel the beat |
