Brothers Gonna Work It Out
Public Enemy · Power To The People & The Beats: Greatest Hits [2011]
Uh, your bad self, help me break this down from off the shelf
Here's a music servin' you so use it, papa's got a brand new funk
Get down party for your right, huh, let's get it on like we said before
They say the brothers causin' trouble, hate to bust their bubble
'Cause we rumble from our lower level to condition your condition
We're gonna do a song that you never heard before
Make you all jump along to the education
Brothers gonna work it out and stop chasin'
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Work it out, brothers gonna work it out
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Work it out, brothers gonna work it out
You got it, what it takes
Come get it, where you want it?
Go get it, get involved
'Cause the brothers in the street are willing to work it out
So many of us in limbo, how to get it on, it's quite simple
3 stones from the sun, we need a piece of this rock
Our goal indestructible soul, answers to this quizzin'
To the brothers in the street, schools and the prisons
History shouldn't be a mystery, our stories real history
Not his story, we gonna work it one day
Till we all get paid the right way in full, no bull
Talkin', no walkin', drivin', arrivin' in style
Tell him, soon you'll see what I'm talkin' 'bout
'Cause one day
The brothers gonna work it out
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Work it out, brothers gonna work it out
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Work it out, brothers gonna work it out
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Work it out, brothers gonna work it out
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Work it out, brothers gonna work it out
You got it, what it takes
Come get it, where you want it?
Go get it, get involved
'Cause the brothers in the street are willing to work it out
Let's get it on, we are willin'
Let's get it on, let's get it on, we are willin'
Let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, we are willin'
Now we are ready if you are ready
In 1995, you'll twist to this as you raise your fist to the music
United we stand, yes divided we fall, together we can stand tall
Brothers that try to work it out
They get mad, revolt, revise, realize, they're super bad
Small chance a smart brother's
Gonna be a victim of his own circumstance
Sabotaged, shellshocked, rocked and ruled, day in the life of a fool
Like I said before to live it low, life take you time, time yo go slow
Look here, not a thing to fear, brother to brother not another as sincere
Teach a man how to be father to never tell a woman he can't bother
You can't say you don't know what I'm talkin' 'bout
But one day, brothers gonna work it out
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Work it out, brothers gonna work it out
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Work it out, brothers gonna work it out
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Work it out, brothers gonna work it out
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Work it out, brothers gonna work it out
You got it, what it takes
Come get it, where you want it?
Go get it, get involved
'Cause the brothers in the street are willing to work it out
Let's get it on, we are willin'
Let's get it on, let's get it on, we are willin'
Let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, we are willin'
