Chorus:
They starting to hold us men accountable for the things we say
And even ya actions you are accountable
For the things we do
So its all up to you
Be the reason
Set the record straight
Be a leader
So you can teach them
Before life gets in their way
Cause good things dont always last
Get this knowledge while the gettin is good, I know that you should
Because good things dont always last
And i know you need that
Verse 1:
Speaking in tounges and native codes
So when they ear hustlin they might not know
Think about ya words because they carry weight
I don't spit about slangin' yay' cause thats not my real life
Some men feel like they can fake it to make it
I say get with they authentic and let go of the gimmicks
I dont cater to no labels , be a major independent
Power on the vocal chords , life on the mic
Heaven on Earth , bless the new births
They gone be what they see - turn off the tv
Train ya mind to get ready for new beginings
Cause all good things come with instant endings
Choices and decisions , no excuses, boy ya betta listen!
It's up to you , now what ya gone do?
Hip Hop got center stage prime time spot light
We break the stereotypes by gettin the ghetto right
Destroying the confusion by building the solution
Lacing the music with the antidote
Some just dance others scan for quotes...
Give'em what they want let'em know what they need
Chorus:
Verse 2:
We gotta be the voice of reason
The example for the village
We got enough k**ers - we need some healers
This is ya remedy some mental medicine
When things get hectic and they need some settlin
"resolutionary" approach to the choas
Breaking the cycles be the answer to ya own prayers
Protect ya name , by watching ya mouth
Cause talking too much could f*** ish!* up!
Stay in yo lane like the riders say
You got the right to be quite
Or spark off a riot
We breaking down barriers and educate automatic
Known to cause static and get the job done
This is peace, love and having fun
You ain't gotta bring yo gun
Good things don't last if we don't know how to act
And we don't wanna hear it but it's a straight up fact
You got a problem, admit it , fix it and forget it
The party don't stop the beat don't quit
This is ya ultimate gone run with it!
This is ya ultimate gone run with it! Hay!
Chorus
