KRS-One, G. Simone - Think Bigger lyrics

Gather round (oh yeah)
Think bigger
Think bigger
(This is about life)
Life
(Real life)
Real life
Your life
My life
Real life

Young and strugglin' out there buggin'
Let me sing a song for you
This song ain't for everybody
This is for the chosen few
Those that's born with
Purpose never worthless
This is all for you
You hearin' me at this moment 'cause
The spirit is calling you
Somethin' pressing inside revealing it's
Truth is calling you
But if you don't understand the
Acronym Simone brought to you
The media will lead your mind to do
Things you don't want to do
Like dissin' your own heritage and the
Lineage that belongs to you
This is what a colonists about
Dissin' all of you
The past, the present, the future
And what you gonna do
It's not just about now
It's about tomorrow too
You are the cultural foundation of
Those that will follow you
Just like you model the past
The future gonna model you
So what from this era are you tellin'
The future it has to do?
When the future looks back
Will they really respect or laugh at you?
These are the real questions that real
Life will be asking you
But if you distracted by the
Temptations that they flashin' you
You won't see the opportunities
That steady passin' you
This is why despite despite their criticisms
I bring the class to you
Because culture ain't about now
It's about who comes after you

Think bigger
Think bigger
Think love

Hear me on this second take
KRS is never fake
Go ahead get your dinner plate
But let me now get somethin' straight
Ain't nobody hatin' on you youngins
How you do your do
But you too young to see how
These corporations are usin' you
Culturally abusing you
Pickin' and choosin' you
Programmin' your mind through the music
Lines you cruisin' to
Think about the future you, the higher you
The super you
Or will the future you turn out
To only be the stupid you?
Knowledge reigns supreme learn this theme
It never goes away
The culture keeper, the teacher
This what I'm supposed to say
There's got to be a better way
To hear our music every day
B-boys gettin' blown away but
Comin' outside anyway
We tried again outside in Cedar Park
Power from a street light made the place dark
But yo we didn't care, we turned it out
I don't know if you understand
What I'm talkin' about
Remember Bronx River pullin' triggers
Countin' figures pourin' liquor
Lyric spitter shake and shiver
Glam and glitter
The mic mixer
I'm just a party ripper
OJ vodka sipper
Here's a little advice: think bigger

Think bigger
Think bigger
Think bigger
Think love
Think peace
Think life
Think free
Think bigger
