Coldcut - Find a Way lyrics

[ VERSE 1: Queen Latifah ] I think you're a s**er if you stand there In the midst of all this political fanfare We're constantly fightin to keep our rights, and The more we press on, the more they tighten Their grip, but I'm a soldier keepin me from any rupture Don't listen to the negative, it will only self-destruct ya Blowin a cloud of smoke? Yo, you must be on a mission You wanna smoke somethin? Smoke this one Smoke this one [ Chorus ] Who will save the day? Lord have mercy Who will find a way? Lord have mercy Who will take away the strife Lord have mercy Oh Lord, rescue me from this life Lord have mercy [ VERSE 2: Queen Latifah ] Who will be the leader? (Who will be the leader?) In a government so corrupt, they get greedier and greedier What happened to 'a government for the people, by the people' What people? We ain't equal Discriminated against for race, religion, education And you call this a nation? I'm here to tell ya, hey, there ain't a day (That what?) we should continue goin on this way Who will be responsible for teachin the youth the truth Who's accountable for establishin world peace? Catch the thugs, get rid of the d** Cure the poor, when will the bullsh** cease? Think of what you wanna say, no doubt No one'll ever know you're stupid till you open your mouth I'm callin your bluff, it's time for a decision (Ask me) but if you got more beef, smoke this one Smoke this one [ Chorus ] [ VERSE 3: Queen Latifah ] I'm the Queen by virtue of her guidance, show me Guarded by the Flavor Unit, no one can dethrone me Latifah, the feminine professor of wits Coldcut's on the mix And it ticks us off when we see so much wrong (What's wrong) World, what's goin on? That's a question for you to ask yourself Or are you that caught up in your wealth? Kids are growin up with materialistic minds They become cruel and unkind Spendin all your money on Nikes and Filas But when you see a panhandler, it's "Ha-ha-ha What a bum, get a job," I should hit you With another verse of lyrics that'll fitcha The words are cunning, stunning enough to pierce But if you wanna get fierce (do what?) smoke this one [ Chorus ]
