Boogie Down Productions - Advance lyrics

[Chorus] Because we got to advance! We got to advance! There's nothing in our lives ever happened by chance! We got to advance! We got to advance! We have got to advance! The grand incredible Scott La Rock! [Verse: KRS-One] Every generation after every generation All the world nation headed for annihilation I say annihilation but I mean disintegration An absolute wipe-off from the face of every nation If you comprehend, you're allowed to ask a question What could be the meaning of degeneration lesson Lesson 1, lesson 2, lesson 3, lesson 4 A newly presented rap - a nuclear war We have elevated far beyond the Rapper's Delight So party people close your eyes and use the mind for the sight We must understand the basic complications of life Before the atom is split and the world is destroyed If you're jamming to the sound, this is what I employ To live it understand it and the knowledge of joy This is the rhyme for the time, elevated from the mind If you comprehend well it's a definite sign Of the positive and negative electrical force Of the whole world today, is on an advance course C and O with the S H2O PO4 Can all be destroyed by a nuclear war So to the black, white, Rican, Indian and Oriental m**ms, Christians, Rastas, Jews, Gentiles We've got to advance, we have got to advance When the situation changes, we don't stand a chance Cause every generation after every generation We got to find ourselves in some worldwide celebration Not with registration or a cotton plantation But different presentation like more communication The kids in graduation with lesser aggrivation Will tell the other kids of this higher education This higher education, which is really observation Or more self-realization which will lead to relaxation Not evacuation for fear of bomb mutation Or packing helpless families send some army transportation This army transportation has sent abbreviation U.S.A., which means U Start Annihilation I seem to read the phrase while I'm in this transportation And those who think of war need to practice masturbation I mean what I say cause I say what I mean So listen to my voice, yes we have a choice [Chorus] Because we got to advance! We got to advance! There's nothing in our lives ever happened by chance! We got to advance! We got to advance! We have got to advance! The grand incredible Scott La Rock! [Verse: Unknown member of Scott La Rock and the Celebrity Three] Every generation after every generation The American nation is hit with starvation The exploitation, the quick sensation Can only lead your mind to destroy the creation Creation with the mind - destruction with the knife Can only lead this planet to this present way of life As you an*lyze the words to read the situation You find yourself well off with this useful information Information granted but your brain goes bling And like the lights in computers the brain now thinks From the mind, the omnipresent, to the underpaid peasant The brain can piece the problems from the past and present Got celebrity three, the future unknown Information give us [?] As you plug into the senses, the knowledge of the brain The wise of the brain represented by the vein [?] down to the letter The heart, liver, stomach, kidney, lungs, etcetera As you put them all together systematically You got the body composition for you and me So party people an*lyze the way I walk There's a systematic action to the way I talk This can go for any verse [?] [?] but it's too complex So, what happens next as I elaborate On the name and the crew that we create [Chorus] Because we got to advance! We got to advance! There's nothing in our lives ever happened by chance! We got to advance! We got to advance! We have got to advance! The grand incredible Scott La Rock!
