Here we go, here we go on the smooth side
Let's take a ride in stride and I'm the guide
with the source, and of course - I don't wanna be the king or boss
I just wanna get my point across
Cause it's time to organize and open your eyes
Realize, we on the rise
to the climax, time to take charge
Whoever said we can't live large?
To seek out fortune without distortion
and stop livin for just a small portion
There is a move to make, we gotta take a chance to break
all chains become awake
Cause this is the new way, to be proud and brave
and I ain't goin out like a slave
In eighty-nine, I'm livin like a champ
Step out my face, talkin bout a food stamp
Child please, put it at ease
Freeze, it's time to get paid in times like these
We can't take shorts or take a loss
So take it from the Kane and go for yours, because
* Chorus *
Uh-huh
There, comes a time, where we can't be in the rear
We gotta step up front, to get our share
Make the change, cause we're not inferior
For example, there was a black Ms. America
Let's start to do for ourself
We can't depend on no one else or the board of health
So hold your own or else you're gonna find
that if you play off of crime you go out like Aunt Jemimah
We gotta put it in overdrive and strive to survive
to stay alive, that's the reason I've
came to, motivate us to the length
Effort of strength makes you grow inch by inch
Takin no mediums or small at all
We gotta walk not crawl or else take a fall
What used to be just hopes and thoughts
are now in effect, and we can't take shorts, because
* Chorus *
Swing on that right there, pump it up, here we go
Uh-huh, uh
