Hank Shocklee - Brothers Gonna Work It Out lyrics

[Intro] “The rhythm, the rebel” “Don't believe the hype!” “Yes!” “How low can you go?” “Show ‘em we can do this!” “Here we go again” [Verse 1] Uh, your bad self Help us break this down from off the shelf Here's a music servin' you so use it Papa got a brand new funk Kick that (party for your right) Huh, let's get it on like we said before They say the brothers causing trouble Hate to bust their bubble Cause we rumble from our lower level To condition your condition, we're gonna do a song That you never heard before Make you all jump along to the education Brothers gonna work it out And stop chasing Brothers, brothers gonna work it out [Hook] You got it...what it takes Go get it...where you want it? Go get it...get involved Cause the brothers in the street are willing to work it out [Verse 2] So many of us in limbo How to get it on, it's quite simple Three stones from the sun We need a piece of this rock Our goal indestructible soul Answers to this quizzing To the Brothers in the street Schools and the prisons History shouldn't be a mystery Our stories real history Not his story We gonna work it one day Till we all get paid The right way in full, no bull Talking, no walking, driving, arriving in style Tell 'em -- soon you'll see what I'm talking 'bout Cause one day The brothers gonna work it out Brothers, brothers gonna work it out [Hook] [Interlude] Let's get it on... we are willing Let's get it on, let's get it on ... we are willing Let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on ... we are willing Now we are ready if you are ready Yo, drop the rhyme in overtime, G [Verse 3] In 1995, you'll twist to this As you raise your fist to the music United we stand, yes divided we fall Together we can stand tall Brothers that try to work it out They get mad, revolt, revise, realize They're super bad Small chance a smart brother's Gonna be a victim of his own circumstance Sabotaged, shell-shocked, rocked and ruled Day in the life of a fool Like I said before to live it low Life take you time, time yo go slow Look here, not a thing to fear Brother to brother, not another as sincere Teach a man how to be father To never tell a woman he can't bother You can't say you don't know What I'm talking 'bout But one day ... brothers gonna work it out [Hook] [Interlude]
