[Intro]
Thar she blows, my lad!
Whether MC or DJ
All musicians in general
Let's get together
Because it's crucial
[Verse 1]
Ladies and gentlemen of rap-ology
We owe our fans and ourselves an apology
For comin' out our faces all wrong
You know, talkin' all kinds of yang on a song
Just like snakes, we're always rattlin'
Do you see rock 'n roll stars battlin'?
No, sucka MC's this, sucka MC's that
Yo, troops, when area we gonna stop this crap
It is a waste and oh, so sad
That the good gotta suffer with the bad
And as for the violence and negative hype
Yo, I wanna kill that stereotype
[Chorus]
Ever since rap got some publicity
All we ever talk about is sucka MC's
Come together
Right now
In unity
[Spoken]
Lemme now show you, man
Yes, man
Let's just like grow up, know what I'm sayin'?
[Verse 2]
Yo stop, m'bredren, homeboy, amigo
In the name of good music, control your egos
Cause you while revel in short-lived fun
You only hurt the music in the long run
Here's an example of what I mean
Straight up-front, ain't no lines to read between
Let's pretend that I got a riff
And come out a face a little somethin' like this
So! It's finally here, the big throw down
You was braggin' that you come to take over town
Your goose is cooked, your behind is bacon
You're dreamin' again, my fren, sad and mistaken
Your mouth is like a door with no latch
You count your chickens before they hatch
Well, I am the hunter, you are the duck
Tough titty, but it gotta be sucked
[Chorus]
Ever since rap got some publicity
All we ever talk about is sucka MC's
Come together
Right now
In unity
[Spoken]
Yes, man
They just waitin' to see us mess up
Because dem tinks that we're dumb
He-heh heh heh heh heh
Rude as I come
[Verse 3]
I could on and on, 'til infinity
All I'm sayin' is may take some dignity
Yeah, yeah, alright, ain't nobody perfect
But then you tend to jeopardize the respect
The enemy's anxious to see you lose
So between positive and negative, my friend, you choose
When you sit down to write or grab the mic
Just think what the next generation's gonna be like
Brother, sister, daughter, son, niece nephew
I'm quite sure your conscience won't let you
Come out your face wrong ever again
That's, of course, if you really care about them
Let's take a turn for the better
All MCs, stop battlin', let's come together
Don't misled nor be misled
Sincerely yours, ragamuffin ruff neck Shinehad
[Chorus]
Ever since rap got some publicity
All we ever talk about is sucka MC's
Come together
Right now
In unity
In unity
In unity
(Watch out! C'mon!) In Unity
[Sung]
We shall overcome (in unity)
We shall overcome (in unity)
We shall overcome some day (right now in unity)
I do believe (in unity)
That one day we shall be relieved
Wa dong da dang da dang
And we shall overcome some day (in unity)
[Outro]
(Lord have mercy) Come
(Come and sit) In unity
(All ruff neck, sweet boy, in effect, that's right) In unity
(All B Boys and B Girls in the vicinity, in the place to be) In unity
(All Yardie massive, Yankee massive, Trinidad massive, dat's cool) In unity
(To all Russian youth, all South Africa youth, Japanese youth) In unity
Come together
(All English youth, young people from all over the world, hoy!) In unity
(Betta know, that sweet boy 'n' ruff neck in effect to rock truth) In unity
Come together
(In effect, enough respect, I tink, to do dis) In Unity
Come together
(Betta know, [?]) In Unity
You know what what I'm sayin?
(Oh know, Lord, mi mi mi) In Unity
Hey! Betta know
