(Chorus 2X's)
We need a new way of thinking
Its time for change, (yeah)
Once the ship starts sinking
I say it aint gon stop, it gon stop
(Verse 1)
Titanic type of issues, gigantic type of waves
Put fear into our nights, and panic in our days
From soap box, to milk box
From sugar pops, to crack rocks
The face's of the missing
the distant and forgot
A vertical beginning, to horizontal ending
Its all condescending when you living and pretending
Your smile, they dont know its hiding tears
Your anger, used to camouflage your fears
(Bridge)
But I know that if you follow, that ole yellow
Brick road, then you can tip toe, up out the ghetto
Cause I did, and so can more kids, if we let them
Yo hand connect with my hand, and lets protect them
If yo hood connect with my hood, well then its all good
And those thats up to no good, I think they all should
Be banished from amongst us
Focus on our youngsta's
Seperate the bad seeds,
they're the one's who make us bleed
(Chorus 2X's)
We need a new way of thinking
Its time for change, (yeah)
Once the ship starts sinking
I say it aint gon stop, it gon stop
