The social systems influence the wisdom hit 'em
The nation's politics inspire the apocalypse
Inner city living, synonymous to third world
This era predates Marvin, what's going on?
Holiday songs, Lee Morgan on horns
The breakdown of the family structure gotta be strong
Keep moving on, change is constant
Langston painted pictures of the way the Renaissance went
With words, he shared stories with such eloquence
Said it was a contradiction to be black and American
Phenomenal insight, was shared during depression
By intelligent scientists who walked
The urban sections of this wilderness
Stealing us from then to now
Looking back to move forward from then to now
Had the Panthers in the west, the Nations on the east coast
Malcolm and Martin both were sent back by the toast
Uprise blaze the fires of ghetto US
Only to destroy the economies of you and us
Wicked systems we trust for too long now
History repeats itself, see we know more now
How to break the chain, how to change the game
How to heal your soul and ease the pain
I write expressions representing the extensions of a man
We here to answer your questions and lend a helping hand
So lend your ear 'cause we're here my friends
The 1960s jazz revolution, again
Lend us an ear 'cause we're here my friends
The 1960s jazz revolution, again
Please lend an ear, it's here my friend
The 1960s jazz revolution, again
