We Be - Wax Tailor/Ursula Rucker
We Be
We Be
We Be
Travellin' down the highway of the enemy
We Be
Joinin' the endless convoy of cultural hegemony
We Be
Missin' the forest for the trees 'cause
We can't see the evils that men do
On TV in the movies overseas
And right here on our street
We Be
Opting for vainglory over humility
We need We need
To break the convoy line
Get the hell off the highway
Take the road less travelled
'Cause that moral fibber you thought was so tightly woven
It's unravelling It's unravelled
I hate to tell ya'll it's unravelled
We Be
Say
I'm standin' on my soapbox again
Say
I'm one of those conscious artists talkin'
That"change the world" sh*t again Say
I might be just a bit too dramatic/overzealous
'Bout what I see as
The human spirit's dive into uncertainty
Say What you like
Say What you like
'Cause I'll be all those things you say
All night and all day
Before I allow myself and soul
To whither away into indistinctness
Live a half-life of blissful ignorance
Never take another chance
Do the latest dance with the devil
And lose my dreams for all we could be
Lose my dreams for all we could be
We Be
We Be many
So many
Many
Like the number of death threats Malcolm that used to get
We Be many oh so many
Many like the multitudes of souls
Lost in the wars of men
Over gold over power over god & hate
We Be many so so many
Many like the lies that pale the truth
The countless lies of prophets & power mongers told
To acquire faith
To steal land to oppress people
We Be the oppressed peoples
We Be
We Be
Why can't We Be more peaceful
Why can't We Be nicer to one another
Why can't We Be
We Be what we were meant to be love
We Be
We Be
