When we get our chance
Brothers getting jailed and mobsters own the coppers
So when you die the movement moves on
Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day
We still got talent and we still got contacts
Rhythm makes your mind move
First the political prisoners must be let go
Got to get political
Rhythm makes your mind soothe
I think we would have given up by now
Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day
We don't sell out just to be sold out
Cutting brothers' hair as a means of staying alive
Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever
Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day
Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day
'Cuz gangstaz do dirty work and get pimped by mobsters
Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever
Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever
'Cuz with revolution, ain't no future in front y'all
This system has gotten the best of me
Rhythm makes the people move
Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day
Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever
Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever
Now I pray for God to invest in me
'Cuz going out is what it's all about
My dignity, invest his glory
Political I gotta get
Brothers and sisters, do you know what I'm yapping about ?
Can't go with what looks attractive
And my phrase went
If it wasn't for the rhythm
Give me the strength so I can finish the story
Rhythm makes your elbows groove
Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day
Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever
'Cuz we're worked real hard to get this far
We're catching the bus before we bought the car, ya see
You'll never get out without much discipline
'Cuz if they take away our contract
Alright
Headliner expresses his feeling on those turntables
So you you want out of the ghetto
Instead love, love your life, tackle the government
You can't be passive, gotta be active
Rhythm makes your body move
But I tell you ain't no room for gangstaz
Save those rounds for a revolution
Some fat Italian eating pasta 'n lobster
Raise your fist but also raise your children
Poor whites and blacks bum rushing the system
Don't know where our next dollar's coming from
The spooks that break down the door are Heaven sent
Grown but can't hold my own
We're not sure where our lives are going
Friends, it's summer outside but yet we're snowed in
Direct your anger, love, nothing's ever built on hate
My liquor got to your powerful master
Need to learn how to correctly shoot 'em
And you must let go of your power master
Headliner's strong so he keeps his 9 to 5
So this government needs to be overthrown
Rhythm makes that behind move
To make a good living of the music we program
Rhythm makes you want to move
Living the life of a poor musician
Brothers with the A Ks and the 9 Ms
Keep on searching for the right way to go out
Gotta learn all I can while I'm able
