Same Ol’ Song - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Swear I can't figure why

My brothers sell 'caine

To survive in these times, I don't know who to blame

Could blame the media, like

They're the reason I might

Just start a revolution

Know the devil recruitin'

They got us overseas

Killin' people that bleed

The same color as your brother, but we too blind to see

We're very much the same

Despite what you believe

Know we can make a change

But it's the same old song

Song, song, song, song, song

Said it's the same old song

[Hook]

Now if we took a little time

Swallowed all our pride

We could fix the situation

But it's the same old song

The same old song

Now if we took a little time

Took a look inside

We could stop killing each other

But it's the same old song

The same old song

[Verse 2]

Yea!

I sit back in a daze

Swear the world's insane

Get so high I could fly but I'd rather escape

Find my oasis in the most exotic of places

Wish I had the solution to these problems we facing

They got us overseas

Killing people that bleed

The same color as your brother but we too blind to see

We're very much the same

Despite what you believe

Know we can make a change

But it's the same old song

Song, song, song, song, song, song

Said it's the same old song

Song, song, song, song, song, song

Said it's the same old song

[Hook]

Now if we took a little time

Swallowed all our pride

We could fix the situation

But it's the same old song

The same old song

Now if we took a little time

Took a look inside

We could stop killing each other

But it's the same old song

The same old song

[Interlude]

Y'knowwhati'msaying, man, I think, ultimately

It's up to us to change the world

The people that's in it

The people with power, the poets

Politicians, the pimps, the gangstas, everybody, man, etc

If we don't come together and unify, how we gonna... survive, y'nah'mean?

We gotta start taking back... our communities

Taking care of the children

We gotta start somewhere, man

There's no better time than right now
