On Your Feet

(album: On Your Feet - 1997)

Sitting up here so high above the ground
Feeling just a little like I can't be pushed around
Just for a minute feeling invincible
Then I'm hit with the principle
Everyday while I'm away I here my brothers slipping away
Taught by the same teachers who give
The lies for you to live
Can't understand what's so hard to comprehend
About the words of the father and his loving command
Push back, heart attack, get down, come around
Get your fist full of embrace, back to the crown
Back stab lies hypocrites that paralyze forthcoming events
It's gonna blow your mind
Get up off your hands get on your feet
You're sitting up there like you never heard of him
It's like you're running
Running away from him
It's like you caught up in a dream no reality
Nothing is what it seems
Everyday while I'm away I hear my brothers slipping away
Taught by the same teachers who give the lies for you to live
They taught me about the evolution of man
They say I was a monkey who walked the land
Just once I wish they could see where I'm coming from
Instead of society being so dumb
Lies for you to live, is where their coming from
Lies for you to live, stop playing dumb
Can't understand what's so hard to comprehend
About the word of the father and his loving command
Push back, heart attack, get down, come around
Get your fist full of embrace, back to the crown
Back stab lies hypocrites that paralyze forthcoming events
It's gonna blow your mind
Get up off your hands get on your feet
