Somebody gotta be fresh,
Somebody gotta be wack.
Somebody gotta be the emcee,
Somebody gotta do the rap.
Somebody gotta be smart,
Somebody gotta do that.
Somebody gotta do art,
Somebody gotta be black.
Somebody gotta have heart,
Somebody gotta be white.
Somebody gotta do their part,
Somebody gotta be bright.
Somebody gotta be up,
Somebody gotta be down.
Somebody gotta be the teacher,
Somebody gotta be the clown.
Somebody gotta be lost,
Somebody gotta be found.
Somebody gotta be in the economy making the money go round,
Somebody gotta be the president.
Somebody gotta get down,
Somebody gotta be hesitant.
Somebody gotta be relevant,
Somebody gotta be celibate.
Somebody gotta be having their sex in a lex for the hell of it,
Somebody gotta be intelligent.
Somebody gotta be illiterate,
Somebody gotta go all the way.
Somebody gotta go a little bit,
Somebody got to be an idiot.
Somebody gotta be belligerent,
Somebody gotta be hip hop.
Cause somebody else is living it,
Somebody gotta be spitting it.
Somebody gotta be ignorant,
Somebody gotta be holy.
But somebody gotta have sin in it,
Somebody gotta be losing it.
Somebody gotta be winning it
Somebody gotta be flippin' the style I'm kicking just a little bit,
Somebody gotta be into it.
Somebody gotta be out of it,
Somebody gotta be up for it.
Somebody gotta be doubtin' it,
Somebody gotta be running it,
Somebody gotta be all that.
Somebody don't even know that,
Somebody gotta come right here.
Somebody else gotta go back,
Somebody gotta be scheming.
Somebody gotta be a witness,
Somebody gotta be seeing in the meaning is different.
Somebody else gotta be somebody, for some else to be somebody,
Somebody else to run into to wealth, to try to create one body.
One aim, one God, one destiny,
I'm not non-violent, you can back up off of me
I sip my tea, and cock back three
One for Tiny Tim, Mr. Walt, and Evil Dee
I hope you all see, the need for unity
I'll never stop speaking about Marcus Garvey
Kwame Ture or Malcolm X all day
Black leadership today is all play.
uhh, play y'all , y'all immature black behavior
Is worse than being a traitor
Do on to others, as you would have done do to your neighbor
Big up to my philosophy majors
Free Mumia Abu-Jamal from the cages
We writes the pages and teach all ages
Justice, tell me what we want now
Justice, for Mumia Abu-Jamal
Or justice for Amado Dialo
Justice, there is no peace without (*Justice*)
All dem mercy, now watch this
