So It Be

(Album: Back 2 Base X - 2006)

If we all get together we can all get paid
We can all get high we can all get laid
With just a little compassion we can all just shine
No kids go hungry no child left behind
Why every time a leader steps outta line
We find cut down early before he hits his prime
Bob Marley never saw 35
JFK and Martian Luther both lost their minds, literally
Seriously read between the lines
Lincoln got a hot bullet parked from behind
So stay on the grind, pick up on the sign
Gotta let the Devil know that I'm taken back what's mine

Now ain't nobody here def dumb and blind
You we can see the clock is ticking we running out of time
These faggots ain't listening, they afraid to die
So they lie, what, lie, what, lie, what, lie

Let's work it out
Yeah can we get together
Let's work it out
Come on lets get together
Let's work it out
Yeah get yourself together
Let's work it out
You know we got to get together

So it be and so it is
So it be and so it is
So it be and so it is
Black magic

As the day gets shorter and nights grow bigger
Why on cops they always chasing a nigga
And why on FOX they always selling us fear
Twenty-four seven three six five a year
In the light of an analytical political mind
Hard line hard line after hard line
And like a runaway, runaway slave
With a taste of the freedom I don't know how to behave
If we can all get together we can break these chains
Run with Harriet Tubman on the underground train
Like Kunta Kenai trying to save his name
Like Marcus Starry I fear no man

Now ain't nobody here def dumb and blind
You we can see the clock is ticking we running out of time
We can hear the call we not afraid to die
So we get high so high we can kiss the sky

Let's work it out
Yeah can we get together
Let's work it out
Come on lets get together
Let's work it out
Yeah get yourself together
Let's work it out
You know we got to get together

So it be and so it is
So it be and so it is
So it be and so it is
Black Magic

Bring the M-16's the tools of war
The blood that runs so red stains us all
Cold steel turns so hot so fast
When the young soldiers switch off safety and blast
Will they ever see the light again? I hope so
Will they ever sleep at night again? I don't know
Will their mother ever see her son again?
They need to show that shit on ABC or CNN
Here we go again I'm-a enter this battle to win
I'm a show the Devil exactly how this battle begins
With a spliff a couche some juice and gin
Don't sweat my technique let the zodiac spin
More money more problems right with my life
Like with the rent twice they turned off the lights
Now ain't nobody here def dumb and blind
You we can see the clock is ticking we running out of time

Let's work it out
Yeah can we get together
Let's work it out
Come on lets get together
Let's work it out
Yeah get yourself together
Let's work it out
You know we got to get together

So it be and so it is
So it be and so it is
So it be and so it is
So it be and so it is
