Mica Paris, Rakim - Contribution lyrics
[Mica Paris, Rakim - Contribution lyrics]
One world united all shades invited
Mmm hmm
We all have a contribution (Oh, yeah)
To the ways of the world, a revolution
(Ooh, ooh) we all have a contribution
So get on up, say hey make no excuses
Search inside your hearts and make a stand
Don't be blind
Hand in hand, we'll try to understand
Now's the time, people one world united
All shades invited
It's time to tear these walls on down
What good is love if we
Don't spread it around?
We all have a contribution (Ooh, ooh)
To the ways of the world, a revolution
(A revolution)
We all have a contribution (Oh, yes, we do)
So get on up, say hey make no excuses
In our lives, we see the good and bad
And that's fine
Don't forget you're on the winning side
Look around you
One world united
All shades invited (Oh, yeah)
It's time to tear these walls on down
What good is love if we
Don't spread it around?
We all have a contribution (Ooh, yes, we do)
To the ways (To the way) of the world
A revolution (A revolution)
We all have a contribution (Contribution)
So get on up
(Get on up) , say hey make no excuses
We all have a contribution (People, people)
To the ways (To the world) of the world
A revolution (A revolution)
We all have a contribution (Oh, oh, yeah)
So get on up
(Get on up) , say hey make no excuses
I'ma give all I got, 'cause all I got to give
Is our ideas on better ways to live
For those with the so-called upper hand
I have to understand, dealin' inequality
Gotta be a free man
If not, we got to take what's rightfully ours
We'll still use positive power
'Cause this is just food for thought
Where music is drawn
And whether revolution comes
We'll destroy the negative thoughts
And the men will be stronger
Evil will no longer exist
So instead of getting fed up, just get up
Stick your chest out, hold your head up
'Cause where I came from knows 'bout Mica
Mentally made so the message'll reach ya
A sure solution to end all confusion
And here's one of our contributions
Someone cries out (Somebody's crying)
This is just a memory leave behind
(Leave behind) no doubt (No doubt)
Walk into the light with me
We all have a contribution (We, we all do)
To the ways (To the way) of the world
A revolution (A revolution)
We all have a contribution (Contribution)
So get on up
(Get on up) , say hey make no excuses
