EARLY IN DA MORNIN’ Well, I woke up early dis mornin’......Laying in my bed And had this crazy tune.......Floating through my head So I got outta bed.......and decided this is what I’d do I decided I’d write this song....so now I’m singing it just for you Early in da mornin’ (I’ve got to get up) Early in da mornin’ (I’ve got to get up) Early in da morning..... They say it’s the early bird that catches the worm And living day to day, this is what I’ve learned So I never sleep in, not even until nine I’m up at five in the morning...trying to get mine Early in da mornin’ (I’ve got to get up) Early in da mornin’ (I’ve got to get up) Early in da morning... So many people sleep in America everyday And they just watch their dreams, just up and walk away That’s why people, what you’ve got to choose Is to wake up at the crack of dawn, that way you’ll never lose.... Early in da mornin’ (I’ve got to get up) Early in da mornin’ (I’ve got to get up) Early in da morning..... I’ve always wanted to make it, in the recording industry But there’s a million guys, out there just like me Struggling hard...day in and day out Sometimes I get so frustrated...I just wanna scream and shout (but) Early in da mornin’ (I still get up) Early in da mornin’ (working on my music) Early in da morning...(early in da morning) Early in da mornin’ (I STILL get up) Early in da mornin’ (working on my music) Early in da morning..... (scattin’) YO my name is Tony B, and you know just where I be With the pillow up under my head Early in da morning lying in bed Waking up at the crack of dawn and Yo know that I’m yawnin’ Trying to put my clothes on and Get out the house, early in da morning...

THE REAL HIP HOP I came in the door, said it before We don’t want to hear that weak shit no more I came from a place, where we’re fed up And since you’re all up in my face, I’m a give ya the heads up The real HIP HOP is over here And I just really wanna make it clear I stand on the shoulders of those who came And created the game, let me name some names Starting with those who put in REAL work Afrika Bambataa and Godfather Kool Herc Grandmaster FLASH and Grandmaster CAZ Emcees like BUSY BEE who did it for no cash Lovebug Starski and of course KOOL MO DEE KURTIS BLOW, THE FAT BOYS and the TRECHEROUS THREE And if you don’t know the history and it’s a mystery You can rewind this one time and get it from me Cause the REAL HIP HOP IS OVER HERE I’m just being sincere and making it clear THE REAL HIP HOP IS OVER HERE So there’s no need to have any fear Cause, THE REAL HIP HOP AIN’T ON YOUR RADIO So tell those wack D.J.’s....YO they gotta go... And THE REAL HIP HOP AINT IN THOSE VIDEOS No matter how much dough they show... I used to love the “Funky Four” and the “Furious Five” And tears came to my eyes when “Kieth Cowboy” died And my favorite emcee, to this day is Melle Mel Back when Lyrics were important, not your record sales When LL was not a lover, but wore a Kango hat Before Whodini even put out “BACK IN BLACK” “Five minutes of Funk” Kwame in polka dots “KID N PLAY...Gettin funky” used to rock the spot When everybody wore Filas and a “Gumby” on their heads Way before emcee “Run” became a rev When Sequence funked me up wth Angie Stone Angie B, not TLC, upon the microphone I remember when music and culture was fun And at a club, it was love, nobody pulled a gun But that was when I was young, those days are done But still I say without delay, like KRS ONE... Cause the REAL HIP HOP IS OVER HERE I’m just being sincere and making it clear THE REAL HIP HOP IS OVER HERE So there’s no need to have any fear Cause, THE REAL HIP HOP AIN’T ON YOUR RADIO So tell those wack D.J.’s....YO they gotta go... And THE REAL HIP HOP AINT IN THOSE VIDEOS No matter how much dough they show... CAUSE HIP HOP is about using your intellect And HIP HOP is about having Mad respect And HIP HOP is a culture with (5) elements And HIP HOP is priceless, no matter who selling it... From “the golden era” up to the mid nineties If I had a time machine, that’s where you’d find me Cause back then even the media treated us kindly But now emcees just make records blindly Even the dances, from back in time Still stay in the back of my mind Like the “Roger Rabbit”, “Pee-Wee” and “Robo-Cop” The “Guess” and the “Gucci” were real hip hop The “Prep”, “Penn State”, and “Kid & Play” kick step Even the “RUNNING MAN” and the wop were so def After being on the floor, you could hardly catch your breath And you’d be groovin’ in the spot till everyone left And that’s why I’m involved in this here renaissance Of the Authentic Hip Hop, that the people truly want And if you’re feeling like I’m feeling and really care Then just sing along with me with your fist up in the air Cause the REAL HIP HOP IS OVER HERE I’m just being sincere and making it clear THE REAL HIP HOP IS OVER HERE So there’s no need to have any fear Cause, THE REAL HIP HOP AIN’T ON YOUR RADIO So tell those wack D.J.’s....YO they gotta go... And THE REAL HIP HOP AINT IN THOSE VIDEOS No matter how much dough they show...

BE THE CHANGE (YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD) When Sam Cooke said a change is gonna come Now I know where he was coming from The change in the world that we all wanna see Starts right inside of both you and me It’s not for free, but honestly It’s our number one J-O-B, everyday of the week How we walk, how we talk and how we speak Determines our children’s destiny But I’m blessed to be, that which I am A man, with a plan to lend a helping hand Understand...I used to fight Stand around and talk about what isn’t right But, I realize this and must admit Focusing on it, only creates more of it So, I had to get, away from complaining For it’s draining and I’m aiming For the top, the cosmos And whatever we talk and think about the most Comes to fruition, so just listen It’s all about uplifting, so I’m on a mission To unite, both day and night And with this mic, be the light Be the difference, be the example For everybody else, but it starts with self (REPEAT 2X) SO, BE THE CHANGE, YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD... BE THE CHANGE YOU WANNA SEE IN THE WORLD BE THE CHANGE YOU WANNA SEE IN THE WORLD We all love to talk about our ancestors And how we owe them and want to live better But are steadily facing stormy weather And have to stand strong and be tougher than leather Well, let me ask, is it a difficult task To stop reliving the past, for the past has passed And we’re creating the future, even though we don’t know it With every passing moment, though some of us blow it We’ve got to show it, yes we do For the solution can be found in both me and you True ? yes, that’s the truth And the proof can be seen in the youth Looking at us, some with disgust Cause there’s just so much, that we’ve never discussed So often in a rush, as we fuss and cuss While “The Secret” we often keep on the hush They do as we do, not as we say So, what do they obey ? What they see everyday... Hey ! So, we’ve got to wake up For, there’s just so much lost time, we’ve got to make up We’ve got to be role models for humanity Cause repeating our failures is insanity And so many have lied, cried and died For the change, when the change starts inside... (REPEAT 2X) SO, BE THE CHANGE, YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD... BE THE CHANGE YOU WANNA SEE IN THE WORLD BE THE CHANGE YOU WANNA SEE IN THE WORLD So, I ain’t waiting on a leader, nor a president Nor another year will I be hesitant Nor another day, nor another minute Change is in the air, and I’ve got to get in it I’ve got to be a part of what I wanna see So, I can create a better world for you and me Metaphysically, Spiritually Politically, it’s not typically The way we’ve been taught, but we must learn The road has been laid, and it’s our turn To manifest, cause we’re blessed, no contest... We’re the best of the best And we’ve got a real obligation To change the situation, through elevation Education, with no hesitation Be the manifestation of divine creation And that’s how we turn the world around We’ve got to get up, so we can get down So our children can experience a profound Dimension based upon sights and sounds That’s all about love, harmony and peace Where joy and abundance is all they see And yes indeed, all this I believe, can be But it starts with you and me... (REPEAT 2X) SO, BE THE CHANGE, YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD... BE THE CHANGE YOU WANNA SEE IN THE WORLD BE THE CHANGE YOU WANNA SEE IN THE WORLD

Bus Stop 06:05
BUS STOP Little Yvette sits at the bus stop Hoping that she can make the pain stop Hiding her tears in the raindrops Hoping that it’ll make the pain stop... A little girl in a grown up world Used to be daddies only little girl But trying to pay the rent, got him sent To a cell, where all she sees is his mail Hell, and if that ain’t hell mommas got cancer and ain’t feeling well Too many of those cigarette packs And drinking Jack Daniels mixed with Exlax Got her on her back and if that ain’t wack Brother just got attacked with a gat Trying to be the man, selling that crack rock But he got caught, not on a Black block So he got a chance to hear a gat talk Before they outlined his body with fat chalk So now she sits in the world all alone On her way to school, but has no home Little Yvette sits at the bus stop Hoping that she can make the pain stop Hiding her tears in the raindrops Hoping that it’ll make the pain stop... She’s good at science, reading and writing And thought that her future would be exciting She had a dream of becoming a doctor Or a lawyer, but what is there for her When she has no money and is in poverty And wears the same clothes every day of the week She doesn’t have nothing to eat and get’s teased By other kids, cause of what they see She wishes she could just fly away And start a life in a brand new place Where nobody knows her name and face And her past could be totally erased Where she could begin a brand new life Without all of the struggle and strife And her family could once again be together And her situation could be much better... but... Little Yvette sits at the bus stop Hoping that she can make the pain stop Hiding her tears in the raindrops Hoping that it’ll make the pain stop... So she’s sitting there day and night And won’t go to school, cause it doesn’t feel right And people come and go and cars pass by Yet all she does is continue to cry Stuck in a daze, as guys pull up Older than her in brand new trucks And try to talk to her, but what for ? She’s still a virgin, she ain’t no whore But they keep on trying , and their bold Telling her she needs to get out of the cold But her spirit keeps telling her no Plus she’s only 15 years old If only somebody could help her today If only she knew god was on the way If only more of us would look around There’s probably Yvette(s) all over town but... Little Yvette sits at the bus stop Hoping that she can make the pain stop Hiding her tears in the raindrops Hoping that it’ll make the pain stop...

When’s the last time you heard somebody with clarity Focus not on our differences, but simularities It’s a rarity, but please don’t stare at me I’m just prepared to be, he who gives to charities If a meteor was headed towards the earth Then how much would our differences really be worth Step on the dirt, breathe in the air And appreciate the beauty of life everywhere We’ve got 2 million breaths, until there’s none left About 800 months, until our life is done So recognize that we’re ALL one And give thanks for our time, under the sun We’ve got a short time together, to make the planet better We’re here for a little bit and it moves swift So this is a declaration and a dedication And a party for the people, cause we’re perfect creations (and) It’s a celebration.....It doesn’t matter if you’re Black or Asian Mexican or Caucasian...we’re trying to uplift the nation It’s a celebration...and you know the situation We’re trying to uplift the nation....with constant elevation...

H.O.M.E 05:50
H.O.M.E (Heaven On Mother Earth) When GOD created you, and your essence The universe stopped....... And took lessons On how divine manifestation should be Cause you’re way too real for this reality When you walk, you glide right upon air And when you talk, you vibrate the ground everywhere When you smile its so bright, I need shades to stare And when you’re sad, you fill the oceans with tears I don’t know what I did right in this lifetime To be rewarded and adored by something so fine All I know is loving you has got to be a crime Cause your aura and your heart is one of a kind And I don’t know you’re birth date or astrological sign Nor can I see, How easily, You make me go blind All I know is when I meditate, you’re still on my mind And when I try to describe you, the only words I find (ARE) HEAVEN...HEAVEN...HEAVEN...ON MOTHER EARTH... (YOU’RE LIKE) HEAVEN...HEAVEN....HEAVEN... ON MOTHER EARTH.... Now I’ve been waking up every morning in a cold sweat Every since that day our souls re-met I knew from the start, you were art, and I bet All my friends we’d be together, and you I’d get But I didn’t know you were my mirror, and such purity That you’d erupt and then bust, all my insecurities And make me wanna settle down and with maturity Bring back all my emotions, from obscurity Cause when you laugh, all the trees sway and bend And when you cry, you cause the flowers to bloom again And when touch me, you cause my body to spasm And when you’re in my thoughts, I have a mental orgasm I don’t know what I would do if you were ever gone For you’re the wave of consciousness, i be riding on And when I’m weak, i go inside and you make me strong And you’re the only song, I sing ALL day long... (cause you’re ) HEAVEN...HEAVEN...HEAVEN... ON MOTHER EARTH, HEAVEN...HEAVEN...HEAVEN... ON MOTHER EARTH.... And when I’m with you and in your arms (I’m at home) Nothing could ever make me alarmed (I’m at home) You’re my sunset and break of dawn (I’m at home) And you’re energy protects me from harm So It’s you, and only you I choose My one and only don’t be confused Cause with your love I just can’t lose And that’s why the only name for you (is) HEAVEN.... (cause you’re ) HEAVEN...HEAVEN...HEAVEN...ON MOTHER EARTH, HEAVEN...HEAVEN...HEAVEN...ON MOTHER EARTH, Now I don’t know what else, I could possibly say But when I start to pray, you are my ASHE’ My “GIVE THANKS”,”AND SO IT IS”, PEACE and my SHALOM And when I sit in “lotus”, you are my “OHM” Now I don’t know which solar system you came from But in my universe you are my sun My rainbow, my pot of gold and the only one Who like the fountain of youth, makes me feel young Cause when you breathe, you release moisture in the air And you could sneeze a hurricane somewhere Or create joy and abundance everywhere Just by affirming all the love that we share Cause your Gift Of Divinity, just can’t be taught And your energy’s priceless and can’t be bought And your temperature’s not cold nor not too hot That’s why your arms, always stays in my thoughts (because you’re) HEAVEN...HEAVEN...HEAVEN...ON MOTHER EARTH, HEAVEN...HEAVEN...HEAVEN...ON MOTHER EARTH,

MANCHILD IN THE PROMISED LAND... Born into this world, as a negro... Every day of my life, everywhere I go I’ve got to deal with the pressures of society... Telling me what to be and what to not be Telling me how to live and what to do... How to think, how to act and how to dress too What the people of America, look and see... When they look at a guy like me I don’t want any trouble, but like it or not... I’m always getting stopped and harassed by cops I get questioned, and I get checked... Manhandled and given no kind of respect Treated like dirt, and what the hell for ? Cause it’s not safe to be black any more Trying to survive the only way that I can... I’m just a MAN-CHILD STUCK IN THE PROMISE LAND CHORUS (2X)
TRYING TO SURVIVE, TRYING TO STAY ALIVE STUCK IN THE GHETTO (IN THE GHETTO) TRYING TO SURVIVE, I’M JUST TRYING TO STAY ALIVE STUCK IN THE GHETTO (IN THE GHETTO) Living life low-class in the ghetto... And trying hard to get out of this hell hole Working 2 jobs is what I’ve got to do... Until I can afford to go back to school Grants, Scholarships and lots of money for free... Are all irrelevant with a G.E.D So instead I’ve got to work, treated like a slave... Putting away every penny that I can save Hoping and praying, I’ll soon have enough... To live life alot better and not so rough Maybe get an apartment, with a roommate... And go to school for education, Man, I can’t wait Then maybe e one day, I’ll look back and say... It was worth it, every step of the way But right now I’m just a brotha, who needs a hand... A MAN-CHILD who’s stuck IN THE PROMISE LAND CHORUS (2X)
TRYING TO SURVIVE, TRYING TO STAY ALIVE STUCK IN THE GHETTO (IN THE GHETTO) TRYING TO SURVIVE, I’M JUST TRYING TO STAY ALIVE STUCK IN THE GHETTO (IN THE GHETTO) Bridge...(2x) And I just wanna get out....I just wanna get out The PROMISE LAND ? Is that what it’s supposed to be ? Well it sure doesn’t seem like that to me All I see is my people crying... Day in and day out, my people are dying Just trying to live, but it’s impossible... Why? For, the conditions are so terrible All of my sistahs and all of my brothas... Are self-hated, wearing gang colors and killing one another While others, are drinking, shooting up and smoking crack... For, there’s not much else to do when you’re black... They can’t even get a job, and even if they could... It probably wouldn’t even pay em’ that good Some people try to say this is something it’s not... Prejudice, but we don’t want ALL they’ve got All we want is what’s coming to us, so understand... Who put the MAN-CHILD IN THIS PROMISE LAND CHORUS (2X)
TRYING TO SURVIVE, TRYING TO STAY ALIVE STUCK IN THE GHETTO (IN THE GHETTO) TRYING TO SURVIVE, I’M JUST TRYING TO STAY ALIVE STUCK IN THE GHETTO (IN THE GHETTO) In America, a brotha don’t know what to do... In a culture that he has to grow accustomed to A situation that shouldn’t even have to be... Has been made into a rude reality Alot of brothas and sistahs including myself... Would much rather be somewhere else In Africa maybe, but over there... We’ve got it worse than we’ve got it here So where is it safe for us to go ? The moon, Neptune or Pluto ? But then as soon as we try to make it through... They’ll come and try to take that from us too !!! Damn, it makes me mad, I don’t see why... All the people of the planet can’t see eye to eye Why can’t the black man and the white man... Both live equally in this PROMISE LAND ? CHORUS (2X)
TRYING TO SURVIVE, TRYING TO STAY ALIVE STUCK IN THE GHETTO (IN THE GHETTO) TRYING TO SURVIVE, I’M JUST TRYING TO STAY ALIVE STUCK IN THE GHETTO (IN THE GHETTO)

No Justice 07:10
NO JUSTICE They talk about JUSTICE...And they talk about PEACE They talk about FREEDOM...but they ain’t talking to me They talk about JUSTICE...And they talk about PEACE They talk about EQUALITY...but they ain’t talking to me... My people, have fought for liberty Yet there’s more Black people in prison Than during slavery We pay our taxes, but what do we see ? The money go towards bombs, killing babies overseas In IRAQ... They’re killing Brown and Black In AFGANISTAN and even in IRAN In America, it’s called NEW WORLD ORDER Cause the BROWN man lost his land And now we’ve got borders But They talk about JUSTICE...And they talk about PEACE They talk about FREEDOM...but they ain’t talking to me They talk about JUSTICE...And they talk about PEACE They talk about EQUALITY...but they sure ain’t talking to me AFTER 500 YEARS, WE STILL AIN’T FREE They’re oppressing indigineous People, minorities... So we say POWER TO THE PEOPLE, VIVA LA RAZA FREE THE LAND for the PALESTINIANS living in the GAZA For all of the babies, going to school They’re cutting all the funds for the teachers And that just ain’t cool... We ain’t learning history, Just colonizations They ain’t giving us an education, Just Indoctrinations But They talk about JUSTICE...And they talk about PEACE They talk about FREEDOM...but they ain’t talking to me They talk about JUSTICE...And they talk about PEACE They talk about EQUALITY...but they sure ain’t talking to me... People are suffering, in every country Rich people getting richer, but we in poverty Even in our own lands, we still can’t eat Because of their greed and Foreign Policies Corporate interests and Slavery No health care in 3rd world countries We call it genocide and disease We call it Racism and GLOBAL WHITE SUPREMACY But we want JUSTICE, we want PEACE We want Freedom and Liberty I said we want JUSTICE and we need PEACE We need FREEDOM and LIBERTY Put your fist in the air... If you really care If you are aware... that it just aint fair People Everywhere...We need to get our share Is this the Dream.... Or a Nightmare ? Let em know...that it’s got to go Cause Equality’s coming...much too slow...
