Maxi Priest, Richie Stephens - Calling 4 a Positive Vibe lyrics

Say we're talking to the people
Talking to the people then now
Maxi Priest, Richie Stevens in town

Let’s not dwell on the past
Let's fight for today
Why wait until tomorrow
We tried that yesterday

We're calling for a positive vibe
And a firm meditation
The seeds we need to sow
Take the youths off the streets
Give them proper education
That’s the way to go mothers and fathers
Brothers and sisters

Say we're all in this thing together
Say we all got to care for one another
Can't live in the hype
Got to remember where we coming from

'Cause here in this jungle
It's crying everyday love's the only answer
To bring it all back together
So there ain't no reason
For this bloodshed every day, yeah, ooh yeah

I remember those days
From my fathers generation
And how they used to roll
Peace and love on the corner, no bullets
No guns no one acting cold
So where did all the love go
Tell me I wanna know

Let's not dwell on the past
Let’s fight for today
Why wait until tomorrow
We tried that yesterday
We’re calling for a positive vibe
And a firm meditation
The seeds we need to sow
Take the youths off the streets

Give them proper education
That's the way to go mothers and fathers
Brothers and sisters

Tell me how many times how many lives
How many people gotta go tell me
How many days how many weeks
How many months

I wanna know tell me
How much time how many years
Can’t you see it's out of control

Let's stop them now let's stop them now
Can’t live in the hype
Got to remember where we coming from
'Cause here in this jungle
It's crying every day
Love is the only answer
To bring it all back together
So there ain't no reason
For this bloodshed every day, hey hey hey

Tell me how many times how many lives
How many people gotta go tell me
How many days how many weeks
How many months i wanna know

Tell me how much time
How many years
Can't you see it's out of control

How many times how many lives
How many people gotta go

Tell me how many days
How many weeks how many months
I wanna know

Tell me how much time
How many years
Can't you see it's out of control
