We're Not Alone

[Intro: Mykel] Where there's life there is water We depend on Mama Nature There's a message for tomorrow Everything connects to you Some say soon it will be over You can see it in the weather Out of tune with Mama Nature What you do comes back to you [Chorus: Mykel] We're not alone We're not alone We're not alone We're not alone [Verse 1: Nas] Uhh, uhh Confucius, Confucius, Sigmund Freud And Farad Muhammad, is it evolution or God? Searching for the truth is a threat Seems the closer we get to the truth State Troopers or Feds Come out to silence you, my house in Malibu probably tapped 'Cause living next door to Demi Moore, plus I'm black Plus I want vengeance for the poor who's attacked daily Patriot Act never scared me Jake in the Taurus, sticky in the jar-as Niggas I'm with got warrants America's browning, 20 years from now every town'll be brown and Latin An African looking Manhattan I'ma tell you what I seen with my three eyes Word to me, not a hoax back in '99 A spacecraft in the skyline In L.A. in daytime, ask Horse if I'm lying [Bridge 1: Mykel] Every mother every father Raise your sons and your daughters With respect and with honor From the seed comes a fruit It's an unbroken circle All of life is universal And we're all in the struggle If I know one thing is true [Chorus: Mykel] We're not alone We're not alone We're not alone We're not alone [Verse 2: Nas] Evidence remains in debate Documents of our own Air Force base Additional terrestrial information Other planets with life population, my observation Scientists study pictures of a flying disk Right on earth anthropologists are finding shit Visitors probably live with us, they can mimic us It's sort of what we're seeing in the cinemas [Bridge 2: Mykel] Take a look in the mirror And see the bigger picture It's good to be alive (It's good to be alive) Nobody is an island We are part of an environment Only way we're gon' survive Is if we harmonize [Chorus: Mykel] We're not alone We're not alone We're not alone We're not alone [Verse 3: Nas] Reginald Lewis, the black billionaire Before Oprah, Bob Johnson, how'd he disappear? Conspiracy theories, UFOs in the air I've seen it with my own two eyes, and I swear Like Warren Buffet, real money I'm just trying to touch it The diamond encrusted shit, live illustrious 'Cause we was deprived of it, suffered Now we pop to prove anything's possible My pimp strut was invented when they whipped us Now we diddy bop just to show you that our strength's up Just when niggas 'bout to see they cut Global warming about to burn us up Niggas never really seen paper in this world American blacks, the teenager of this world Give us 20 more years to grow up, already geniuses What I mean is this I used to worship a certain Queens police murderer 'Til I read the words of Ivan Van Sertima He inserted something in me that made me feel worthier Now I spit revolution, I'm his hood interpreter [Bridge 2: Mykel] Take a look in the mirror And see the bigger picture It's good to be alive (It's good to be alive) Nobody is an island We are part of an environment Only way we're gon' survive Is if we harmonize [Chorus: Mykel] We're not alone We're not alone We're not alone We're not alone [Outro: Nas] Ayo I'm American born, love America Love my people, love all mankind, all nationalities, you know I think it's just been recently where everybody just started to feel Like there was an elite group that runs everything And everybody else was sheep, ignorant Making all ethnicities, colors and creeds Niggers, blind to what really is going on So I say take off the wool from your eyes Out with the old America in with the new End all racism, all injustice, all oppression to poor people Any people anywhere in this planet Let's come together: a new day is rising
