Production Notes
Before and during the process of writing this album I studied psychology and how it
relates to social change and activism. I was inspired by the book Change of Heart:
Psychology and Social Change and the book Lies My Teacher Told Me. I had a
dream one night before recording any of the music that I could play the drums so well that
people (including me) were mesmerized. One night at the studio I was making drum
sound patterns with my mouth to a beat we were working on and Jamie, the studio
engineer who has been a professional musician for over 20 years said, "The next level
of your talent is here - the drummer!" The dream came true and I ended up playing
live drums on more than half the tracks on this album, even though I had never played
an instrument in my life up until this album! I also played Brazilian Capoeria music on
two tracks by playing the berimbau instrument. I never knew it before, but I found out
during recording the project that my mom was Philadelphia All-City Orchestra in high
school. In the past, I just did the vocals/lyrics and relied on producers to arrange the
music, but in addition to the above, on this album I produced 5 of the tracks entirely.
It was a magical and exciting process putting Music for a Better World together! I hope
that it has something special for everyone from 8-80. As always, if you want to drop
me any feedback just email me at thatruthmusic@yahoo.com.
Production Details
Open Minded Intro - I no longer understand people who discriminate against forms of
music. I listen to all types of music. If you think you don't like a certain kind of music,
it probably just means you haven't heard a song you like of that genre yet. I got tired of
hearing people approach hip hop music with a closed mind too when it is just
meaningful poetry when done well. This was in part to explain that mainstream hip hop is
not what all hip hop is, and to explain that much music transcends boundaries and labels
just as equality and justice and important lyrical content does. Genres on this album
include reggae, calypso, Spanish music, capoeria (Brazilian), rock, hip hop, jazz, funk,
and more, and I wanted to introduce the fact that this album is world music, which is a
genre that incorporates these inclusive musical ideas.
Change the World - I played the drums on the hooks. This was the first track I ever
played the drums (or any instrument on) and I'll never forget that.
Do You Believe in Facts - I wrote this during the huge earthquake that hit the east coast
in summer 2011. I ran out of the house because my ceiling fan was shaking wildly and I
thought it might come down. I then came back in and finished the song. I couldn't stop
singing the hook once I crafted it. I learned from the Change of Heart book that stories
can be more effective than stats in moving people, so instead of relaying numerous stats
I made an effort to do more story telling on this album. My voice doesn't often sound
like this but sometimes when I get a little hoarse and/or energetic it does, and I felt
this vocal tone fit this track like a glove. I am especially proud of the way it comes
across on the hook! Our voices are instruments and can be played in different ways
and this is how I approach music. It's just about making the best sounding music possible
and how your voice fits with each piece of music.
Apathy - This one was partially inspired by the Superheroes documentary, which is an
excellent and inspiring film. Another concept of psychology is that people want to feel
like they can do something about problems and not just get down about them. This is
why I made the effort to keep mentioning that many heroic people are working to help
make the world better and you can find them and get involved if you wish at my website.
Also, in the digital age, if you don't have a CD in front of you to look at, it's not as easy
to list resources for people so I thought this would be an effective way to accomplish this.
Human Rights - Two guys I performed with many times at the Philadelphia May Day
commemoration at Elmwood Park (where the labor monument is) named Tim and Ray
Patsch made this beat as part of their song Colors, which is an excellent political song.
I was always mesmerized by the beat and it was great to use it on this track. I was also
proud of my folk style singing at the end.
I Tell These Jokes - I love to laugh and have fun and I would think most people do.
Especially when dealing with really important and serious issues, it's important to have
balance in our lives. I was proud to liven up the hooks with some of my own drumming.
I was laughing writing this track and I hope it makes people laugh and smile. It was a lot
of fun singing the hook and also hearing Jamie Myerson, the studio engineer, crack up at
the humorous content while I was recording it!
Critical Thinking - I have always loved my friend Don King's voice, especially because
of the wisdom accompanying it. He has been a supporter of my music since my first
album, and it was great to get him on this project! He was so busy that it was a real
challenge to get him into the studio. He made it at the last second before production was
wrapped. Ironically, when he got out of his car, the first thing I saw were the words "I
MADE IT!" in huge letters on his back! He didn't even realize this. It was a UPS shirt
but it was crazy to see that! Don loves reggae music, and so do I, and it was great to
get some reggae/dancehall style music on to this album.
One Human Family - Isn't it funny how we discriminate when we all come from the
same source and we're all the same species just from different environments? On every
album I've addressed our "oneness" as humans. The idea is for us not to act like racism
doesn't exist, but rather to combat that by bringing us together in solidarity to fight for
ALL of our rights and to fight division, which breeds discrimination.
Todos Somos Iguales - I was excited to release my first song completely in Spanish!
I was also excited to produce this entire beat, including the "huh" sound in the hook
which was me!
Peace, Love, & Justice - I have been working with the "artivist" (artist/activist) Why since
my first album. She has contributed to songs before and even helped inspire some of
the concepts! However, this was the first song she ever wrote! She came in the studio
and danced in the dimly lit vocal booth like it was a nightclub! It was incredibly fun! We
also managed to sound like 15 people somehow with just our two voices! It was good
to infuse the electronic/trance/techno genre into the project on this one.
No Fracking Way - In the future they may change the name of this act or they might
change methods, but it won't change the solutions I mentioned, which are solar power,
geothermal and wind energy! I am proud to say that I composed this entire track myself
and set a possible lyrical alliteration record with 15 words in a row that started with the
letter F! I actually recorded this song on a different beat at first but when I heard the lyrics
on this track, I had to go with this version! It is exciting to me now to be not just a hip hop
artist but a singer, a musician who plays instruments, and a producer!
TextBook Lies - This was inspired by the book Why gave me called Lies My Teacher
Told Me. As with above, I originally recorded this on a different beat. I felt it was really
good but not great but when I came across this beat, I felt it really elevated the song to
new heights! This track incorporates Jazz & funk into this musical mix.
Worker's Rights - Another of my many collaborations with one of my favorite artists
T.O. aka Kalki. We have been doing tracks together since my first album in 2006. He
is in Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada. I loved especially how we went back and forth
quickly on the end of the track. This song brings some classical violin into the picture.
The beat was produced by Kolano, who is from Poland. He made the track originally
for a song T.O. did where he rapped completely in French (T.O's first language), which
is amazing when you hear how great he raps in English.
Why Do They Lie - This track took me longer to record than any other track I've ever
done. I couldn't figure out why it wasn't sounding as powerful as it did in my mind, and I
kept trying different techniques to bring it to where I thought it needed to be. Finally, after
many hours I realized that the colossal orchestral drums were what I needed! You can
hear me playing them throughout the song. Another of the psychological techniques that I
studied that move people is repetition. This is why on this album I attempted to make my
hooks more simple and repetitive (also to make them more memorable). This track was
inspired by the Lies My Teacher Told Me book as well. There was too much
inspiration in that book for one song, so really this is Textbook Lies Part II but with this
hook I thought it made more sense to give it this title.
Let's All Blame the Victim - Another beat I am proud to have produced, this track is
centered around the psychological tenants of the human tendency to blame the victim,
and the societal reinforcement that this is the correct response to our social ills. In
particular the just world hypothesis, as I described in these lyrics, says that the world
is good and if something bad is happening than we want to believe it must be because
that person deserves it. However, of course, this is insane! On this project I also sought
to try and not go over the average person's head. At times on my previous albums I
feel sometimes that half of it would only be understood by highly educated people and/or
activists. I see politicians talk to people in a more simple way. I realized that in order to
reach more people with the message that I needed to make it more easy to understand
and less academic in terms of vocabulary. This is also part of my desire to have people
from 8 years of age to 80 understand and enjoy this music and message. Sarcasm can
also be effective and obviously that is in full effect on this one!
If Dr. King was Here Today Part II - Part I was on my previous album. This was the
first track I ever played the berimbau on. I also played it as part of the skit on the end of
the No Frackin' song. This is another track I am happy to say that I produced.
In Their Shoes - Getting people to put themselves in the shoes of people struggling was
another huge concept of my studying of psychology and social change. The simple way
of describing the concept in the intro was to explain it for people of any age and any level
of education in a way anyone could understand. I met Christina Lopez, who is on the skit
at the end, in Philly a few years prior to this album, and she was very excited about my music.
What Democracy Sounds Like - This hook was sampled from my prior album. I felt the
vocal I did sounded so amazing and somehow sounded like 5 or 10 people and that it
should be used for something else, and this was the result. I did this song on two different
beats and felt that both worked well! This was actually written just a year or so after my
prior album way before I had an idea that I would even create another. The skit on the end
captures what it's like when Don and I start talking over the years.
War Vets Speak - On previous albums I talked about what they don't tell us about being
in the military, the ugly side. On this album I decided, hey, don't believe me, take it from
those who were actually in the military. I played the drums on the end of this one as well.
Solutions Part II - Part I was on my 2nd album Tha Civil Rights Movement Part II. There
is so much we can do to try and make the world better, and this track lists many ideas of
how to do something. It was good to get another reggae/dancehall track on here and it
was fitting that Don closed out the album since he came in so late to do his part (but hey
better late than never right?) I try to see the positive in every situation now. Sometimes
in a bad situation it's just that we can be proud to try and do something good in the world
to try and balance things out and make things better for someone. This song was a way
to end the album on a positive note and hopefully to inspire listeners to do something
to help make this world better, which is the primary purpose of this project.

Change The Future
People wanna conform it's human nature - old ways of behavior toward gays was to
become a hater - before the 60's they placed gays in crazy places of danger - getting
shock therapy in (mental) institutions - the solution was the Stonewall Revolution in NY
the first time - the first pride - gays fought back on one side for peace against attacks by
police - in the streets it's still something we say - may the fetus you save though grow
up to be gay - before the 70's gay was a mental illness classified - now we have prides
we've seen marriage legalized - if you're a mad one against gay marriage than don't
have one - ones with a ton of hate that got something to say - people was born this
way but someone you love is gay and hate like yours make 'em stay in the closet today
it's a cancer - love's the answer don't be a bystander - stand on the side of love - rise
above (echo) the hate need to cease - we need to fight the death penalty for gays in
the middle east - these freaks stupid beyond belief - if you comfortable with who you
are and who you wanna be with - it doesn't matter who others wanna love and wanna
sleep with - see this it's really not hard to agree with
HOOK: Say Change The World - Say Change The Future
Human beings act like we so evolved it needs to stop we kill each other over diamonds
like "Me want shiny rock. Me want gold. Me kill you. Me want many shiny thing. Me
man - you woman - we make baby and buy many thing [Cave Man Voice]." We not
using our brains we been given - living in a world of sadness - we got money to bomb
countries - the poor get left hungry it's madness - status quo gotta go - the most
important thing you can do is change the world that you know - imagine if you were
born in a place the U.S. was attacking - civilians and babies getting killed - man it
happens - or a place where your brother and sister they would swear - they tired of
sewing clothes for 90 hours but no one cares - we don't get to control to who we're
born or where but we can learn to control how we think and if it's fair - we can be the
typical idiot and not question things a little bit or we can see through the problems they
try to hide and get rid of it - they say they got a problem with people preaching in they
songs - we got a problem with you believing life's all good and nothing's wrong - I
pledge allegiance to make the world much better in every song
In schools I hate how they act like gays don't exist - I wanted to quit rapping
ignorance made me persist - we live in this idiocracy - where people think that voting
against their own interests is democracy - the atrocity of the right wing is so nice
blowing up abortion doctors then saying they pro life - they like not taking they own
advice - the government don't want you to get it - they don't want you to question but
it's true you can change and move the whole world's direction - to abet it I set in my
website in sections - groups so you can check it - info so you could get it - groups
that's respected - get involved - many problems that together we can solve with
solutions- to get a better future - it's true we got obstacles but like Che in Cuba
a few proved it's not impossible - not everything that they did was popular but they're
less about the dollar and more about kids getting free college educations - success
ain't money it's us saying that we changed the nation - creating a better world situation

Do You Believe in Facts?
Let me tell you the story of Bradley Manning (this was recorded before Chelsea)
he revealed the truth of how our government is scamming - only like 22 with troops
in Afghanistan and he saw people getting killed and he didn't understand it - it was
civilians - for no reason U.S. troops started killing 'em - Bradley told the truth
to lie he wasn't no willing one - for that they made 'em live in a prison - in the system
(I) guess they want the truth hidden - (with) no truth for you to live in - ask a politician
how it makes sense that high school drop out rates is like 70% in some cities like I live
in - then watch 'em go and blame the victim - it's sickening - now it's time for you decide
realize - the real live prison for your mind - open your eyes or reside in the lies or do
you wanna help people have better lives? it divides into truth or money - you decide
HOOK
Do you believe in facts I got? Do you believe lies?
Do you really believe everything that they say? Come on and pick a side
We don't pay to call the police or the fire department but when adults get sick or hurt
that's when they wanna start charging but healthcare is free in Canada and Netherlands
you think people like me are crazy 'cause we wanna see a better land? what if you got
sick and couldn't work your position? would you wanna sell your house to pay for your
prescription? it happened to a man in his 60's who was driven to rob a bank for $1 so
he'd get sent to prison - he couldn't afford healthcare - in prison (you) get it free there
Richard Verone - North Carolina - he had arthritis and a tumor - you think the world's
messed up or you guess it's just a rumor? no weapon in the set up - sitting politely
waiting for the police to come and get 'em - in jail (for) free doctors checked 'em - the
U.S. don't want weapons for Iran to have any - how 'bout we let weapons inspectors
into Montana - it's so many - you feel empty when you lie? the truth is the better side
It's a shame - the government can throw you out from where you came - it's called
eminent domain - I seen it happen not a game - my grandmother lived in the same place
for 50 years - they destroyed her neighborhood despite many of her tears - they did it
to build a school - cold hearted government rule - to build on land where people stand
takes me back to Columbus' scam and the school wasn't even used - they cancelled
the plans but grams still had to move - they say join the military but since 2005 every
36 hours 27 vets choose suicide - still we say we can still change the world today and
the first day of May is the real labor day - unions the folks who didn't want us to be
slaves - had to fight bosses for weekends and 8 hour workdays - they lie saying
terrorism fear it you can die but the chances of that are so small there's no measurement
to find - realize you're twice more likely to die from suicide than homicide and the
number one killer's heart disease from food we provide - like I said pick a side
you for facts or the lies? cash or having better lives?
OUTRO:
human rights fighters some immigrants who arrived - they didn't ask where you
were from they asked you to pick a side (money or human rights?)

Apathy? Who Cares?
INTRO (D. King) You are now listening to Tha Truth
What's the point of gettin out the 'hood with sports or rap - going back seeing your
friends in jail, dead, or on crack - it's that constructive criticism I unleash - though
they say only god can judge me not no person on the street - saying don't judge
others that you meet when you speak - I speak with love - don't judge - I critique
corrupt governments and police - up to us find peace - up to us rise above - find
ideas to try and seek - like homeless people - they don't really need the food we give
'em - what the homeless really need is some freaking homes to live in - Carlin had
some vision - a plan you can understand the mission to take wastes of land
where golf courses is sitting and use it for the homeless so they can have homes
arisen - it's too much apathy - that means people only care if them and their family's
living happily - it's sad to see - we actually don't know that we're one human family
it's profound - we're all African 'cause Africa's where the first man was found
we have the same background - rewind that back again - all racists are African
no matter the color or their faces we're all one race that's African - Boyz N the Hood
was a movie in the beginning that said like I would - like you could
HOOK:
I see apathy is everywhere who is gonna care (x3)
One day it could be you who needs help from who cares
It's hypocrites saying they don't dig hip hop's rhythms - they don't listen judging me
'cause of privilege and ageism - able-ism - heterosexism - look up the definition
this system pits neighbors in competition - I got a vision of making a difference and
sharing what we're given - it's something missing living with capitalism - bosses fire
as many workers as they can and get rid of 'em - they'd rather use machines then
pay people so they can buy what they need - we believe people shouldn't be
rewarded for having greed - what's that mean? that means money should never
come before meeting human needs - being rich doesn't impress me - you see it's
nothing special - it's impressive to help the poor live on a better level - bosses
paying minimum wage - acting like we slaves - we say how 'bout we enact them a
maximum wage - 'cause in the richest country in the world we got to many poor
people - a few people with too much we can't trust to treat us equal 'cause
under Republicans man exploits man - under Democrats it's the opposite scam
rewind that line two times to understand (oh you flipped it!)
They say heroes are crazy just for doing something nice - the crazy ones do
nothing it ain't right - we superheroes in real life - the world's so evil we got
real life superheroes in the night - watch the (Superheroes) documentary - you
might join the fight - I wrote this verse in my rhyme quoting Albert Einstein - it
was a crime in '64 when Kitty Genovese died - stabbed to death - bystander
effect - when people heard 'em screaming it was a mess - instead of doing
something they did nothing - 38 witnesses on the scene in Queens - in New York
she was raped before she died by the thief - outside at 3 - late - she was only 28
10 years later same building Sandra Zahler faced a villain - just like Kitty they heard
her screaming - didn't try to stop the killing - it could be you, your cousin, your
sister or your mother - do something - put yourself in the shoes of another
no doubt - there's a hero in you - let it out
People see someone in trouble - often ignoring it like they in a bubble - if you see a
person - something bad's gonna happen - gotta help, gotta help, gotta help
help and take action! that's the reaction we would want if we needed help without
asking - can't bypass a person in trouble and just pass 'em - treat others
the way you want to be treated with a passion
What's the point of gettin out the 'hood with sports or rap - going back seeing your
friends in jail, dead, or on crack - it's that constructive criticism I unleash - though
they say only god can judge me not no person on the street - saying don't judge
others that you meet when you speak - I speak with love - don't judge - I critique
corrupt governments and police - up to us find peace - up to us rise above - find
ideas to try and seek - like homeless people - they don't really need the food we give
'em - what the homeless really need is some freaking homes to live in - Carlin had
some vision - a plan you can understand the mission to take wastes of land
where golf courses is sitting and use it for the homeless so they can have homes
arisen - it's too much apathy - that means people only care if them and their family's
living happily - it's sad to see - we actually don't know that we're one human family
it's profound - we're all African 'cause Africa's where the first man was found
we have the same background - rewind that back again - all racists are African
no matter the color or their faces we're all one race that's African - Boyz N the Hood
was a movie in the beginning that said like I would - like you could
HOOK:
I see apathy is everywhere who is gonna care (x3)
One day it could be you who needs help from who cares
It's hypocrites saying they don't dig hip hop's rhythms - they don't listen judging me
'cause of privilege and ageism - able-ism - heterosexism - look up the definition
this system pits neighbors in competition - I got a vision of making a difference and
sharing what we're given - it's something missing living with capitalism - bosses fire
as many workers as they can and get rid of 'em - they'd rather use machines then
pay people so they can buy what they need - we believe people shouldn't be
rewarded for having greed - what's that mean? that means money should never
come before meeting human needs - being rich doesn't impress me - you see it's
nothing special - it's impressive to help the poor live on a better level - bosses
paying minimum wage - acting like we slaves - we say how 'bout we enact them a
maximum wage - 'cause in the richest country in the world we got to many poor
people - a few people with too much we can't trust to treat us equal 'cause
under Republicans man exploits man - under Democrats it's the opposite scam
rewind that line two times to understand (oh you flipped it!)
They say heroes are crazy just for doing something nice - the crazy ones do
nothing it ain't right - we superheroes in real life - the world's so evil we got
real life superheroes in the night - watch the (Superheroes) documentary - you
might join the fight - I wrote this verse in my rhyme quoting Albert Einstein - it
was a crime in '64 when Kitty Genovese died - stabbed to death - bystander
effect - when people heard 'em screaming it was a mess - instead of doing
something they did nothing - 38 witnesses on the scene in Queens - in New York
she was raped before she died by the thief - outside at 3 - late - she was only 28
10 years later same building Sandra Zahler faced a villain - just like Kitty they heard
her screaming - didn't try to stop the killing - it could be you, your cousin, your
sister or your mother - do something - put yourself in the shoes of another
no doubt - there's a hero in you - let it out
People see someone in trouble - often ignoring it like they in a bubble - if you see a

help and take action! that's the reaction we would want if we needed help without

Human Rights
Liveable wages initiated so every person has the basics - every worker compensated
no more facing mass starvation and starting maximum wages 'cause these bosses pay
these wages like a path of enslavement so they can make the payments - mansions
and cars is plantations - no more prisons only visions of places giving real rehabilitation
to anyone that needs help in any given situation - we say no prohibition 'cause we pro
legalization - pro bono - pro the basics - pro mandatory classes in pro human relations
pro mutual aid trading - pro seeing ever person with clean water sanitation - you pro
that or pro hatred? battle's raging - human rights against self gratification - if you don't
understand that line - understand that your school gave you no real education - 'cause
there's nothing more important than improving human relations - guaranteeing human
rights is in placement with no more rich and poor situation
HOOK:
We want jobs, food, and homes for all (repeats)
We ain't never gonna stop 'cause we always gonna call for
Medicare for all - that means no money for medication - no more letting people die
who can't afford a medical evaluation - no more having your home taken 'cause you
saving to make medical payments - it's basic - no more only treating those hurt who
can afford it situation - no more poor people fighting against privatization - that means
not only the rich but all get a college education - no more keeping people packed in
ignorant ways we raised in - no more falling for politicians giving blame the victim
justifications - no more first and third world nation relation exploitation - no more
ignoring the poor's mental activation - no more unjust war taxation - human needs on
top all else it falls on the bottom of the equation - I rap my revelations in raps
wrapped with declarations - we want all torture ended with no hesitation - we want
one love - the Bob Marley rights vibration - we want a world without bosses which
every worker has a say in with these basics we saying
No more acting like we living in a world of individuals - living in this way has its limits
very minimal - like a young sister or brother we all depend on each other - Tha Truth
the human rights lover - truth uncoverer - the tree hugger - but a man the facts always
backing - the best thing you can have in this world is compassion - but don't just talk
but take action - it's not all about you - it's all about you and me - there's a U you need
to see in the concept of commUnity - you got a kid with flat tires - you take their car in
to a mechanic that you hired - here you see where trust is dire - 'cause her life's
dependent on the shop's type of ethics - they could give her tires that's not safe - it's a
disgrace thinking life's about first and second place - we all need to win in the game of
life we placed in - we blame competition - need to embrace cooperation - imagine
everyone not rich joining in unification - working for a mutual elevation which would be
the best result of any human communication - till the end we gonna call again like this
for liberation
OUTRO:

I Tell These Jokes
I don't eat fast food - used to eat it in the past - you want things done right?
most Americans they just want it done fast - that's crap - Taco Bell what
they be putting into that? Taco backwards it spells O - CAT - pass on that
I'm saying try organic food or as your grandparents called it - food! Yo
Truth - don't intrude - I'm in the mood to be smooth - do raps to make ya
laugh - that's how I wanna rap when our problems in the past - man is born
free but can be found in chain stores - selling cheap crap from China
sometimes you get what you paid for - for the hell of it - quick don't think
of an elephant! my rap relevant - intelligent - still love to tell jokes in my
development - you can witness how I wanna have balance in my life like
a gymnast - into fitness - in the midst of this these hypocrites need to stop
protesting then going to McDonald's to eat - you against evil corporations
why support 'em in the street? Do I dream?! Do I know what rhetorical
means?! I put my watch down in the street and then walk a line - one of
the many ways to say I'm way ahead of my time
HOOK: I tell these jokes (repeats)
You gotta love pro football - it's so savage - who wouldn't enjoy watching
juiced up millionaires giving each other brain damage? I'm a little late to tell
ya I can be a little sarcastic - that reminds me of the date - I took a time
management class - I did great - till they threw me out for all the times that
I came late - politicians are stuck to lying like leeches - they don't even trust
themselves to be writing their own speeches - got major skills but they
ignore what I say - I'm slept on like I play in the WNBA - when I say I'm
Jay some people call me Truth anyway - I may plug my albums just a little
bit too much - you gotta rush to get 'em - see I'm stuck what the f**k
I won't mention 'em again - um, well, let's just pretend - I'm cursed - by
listening to this verse - now you're cursed - the only want to lift this curse
is getting my third album and the first - is it over? I feel stuck in time like
I'm on a poster - I'm a joker - have you laughing up and down like a
roller coaster - wait - okay now this is verse is really over (or is it?)
They say it is what it is - obviously - I ignore it - 4 out of 5 voices in my head
they say "go for it!" - I got a portrait I'ma tell it - I got a photographic
memory that has never developed - well 'cause of this I'm a mess - if you
don't pay your exorcist than do you get repossessed? anyway I'd be a
morning person if it didn't start so early in the day - I say from the start
we got enough youth - how 'bout a fountain of smart? understand - I wear
two watches to have more time on my hands - it might seem repetitious
but I thank my lucky stars that I'm not superstitious - I just got skylights
put in my place I could afford this but the people above me now are furious
of course it's a way to get by - I avoid parking tickets by leaving my wipers
turned on high - I just love to have fun - I'm not the silliest rapper but I'm in
the top one - if you try and fail and succeed at it which one have you done?
Tha Truth the lies rival - did you ever notice in the bible that Jesus he seemed
to surround himself with all men? and every prayer ends by saying "Ahhh men"
I do so many rhymes - I bet you a dollar you hear this line - why is a driveway
where we park and a parkway where we drive? times is insane - in fact
people laugh at me because I'm different - I laugh because they all the same
they used to call me "that dude" - I'm now an ice sculptor last night I made a cube
"yo Truth!" - don't intrude - I'm in the mood to be smooth - do raps to make ya

Critical Thinking
INTRO: (D. King) Truth, tell them the truth. Start thinking critically right now
Basically they say poor people are lazy but rich people pay others just to go
and clean up their mess like they're babies - would you say that maybe that
that's crazy? they got maids - they don't even raise their own kids - for that
someone else is getting paid - they always on vacation off laid in the shade
they don't want their workers paid if they're sick and miss a day but it's true
they take off days whenever they want to - we can find other models to
follow - The Wooden Shoe in Philly is a glimpse of a better tomorrow
there was a time when those drinking got thrown in prison - it was called
prohibition - we got the same system for drugs - it won't fix it - the dealers
that you see on the corner aren't the ones flying the drugs in planes over the
borders - so much corruption the government never stops - all these issues
I mention - can you connect the dots? and see how they linking? that's real
critical thinking 'cause it's not politicians it's a problem with the system! listen
this a vision to stop politricking - they don't want this political critical thinking
HOOK
24,000 people die from hunger everyday - the poor and rich are divided
it's gotta be a better way - $700 billion dollars for the military budget (spending)
only $30 billion could end all the world's hunger
Put yourself in the shoes of this calamity (disaster) and actually think what if
it happened to your family situation? dying from starvation and racists here
don't care 'cause you're from a darker skinned nation - light or dark start
facing - we're all from Africa - the same nation - facing devastation
corruption - they say it'll never end - then again it's a lot more of us
then there are of them - powerful men in this economy - let's not pretend
they care if what you do is truly good in the end 'cause they measure your
success by the money you can spend but that habit we can end - it's a
terrible way to live in - trapped in capitalism - if you're poor and you take
something from a store - you go to prison but the rich can buy the store and
steal everything in it and then fire all their workers - that was their way to
make a living - paying for poor people's heat in the winter - that's socialism
compare the two systems - look up the definitions - the fire department and
police is socialism that we live in - you want a rich boss telling you what you
need to make a living or you think workers should work together to make
these decisions?
Think we don't need a better system? check how the ghetto's living
slavery and segregation maintains separation (still!) one day in the summer
on the fourth of U-Lie in west Philly I didn't see one flag in the sky and
my eyes didn't see light skinned people more than 5 - and 3 of 'em was police
out patrolling in their ride - they can't hide what we facing in the cities the
divide - they had schools integrated but schools is still segregated - the
government never made up for slavery - never paid reparations - you can
see obviously it's one of the reasons that we still got poverty - the U.S. uses
torture as a policy - many countries don't approve of this atrocity - Maher
Arar was a victim of this torture rendition - 37 - looks like me - he's a
Canadian citizen - tortured for months in Syria (then) the
admission - they said he did nothing wrong to anyone living - it's sad
what if that was your dad or your brother? stop the way he had to suffer
it could happen to another - it's starving victims - while we have eating
competitions - am I tripping (crazy)? or can you see something's missing?
OUTRO
They want you to be an idiot who ain't critical thinking (repeats)

One Human Family (feat. Why)
In this world there once lived a big family of squirrels - they was from
the same place but half moved far from their base when an earthquake
split the land into two separate shapes - slow rates of change over time
taking place - they was divided and was adjusting to their new environment
the ones to the north are darker, bushy tail, and bigger ears - the ones to
the south are leaner and they live with more fears - though the look different
and act different isn't it now time to realize that they're the exact same
squirrel just growing up on different sides - what I'm talking about is us
the human race we're all one - when we face the truth as one that's when
better days'll have come - 'cause races were created by the rulers for us
to live in - with artificial divisions that only served the rich's interests
the fact remains - inside we all the same - my rhymes explain
HOOK:
Fam can you see that we all one human family?
One human family - actually - can you see?
They ask me what I am - I react by saying I'm a little bit of this and
a little bit of that - you know we all one mixed race from Africa it goes back
matter fact - look it up on your internet and search that - I said that on
another track - I know my flow type is deep - when I speak on tracks I
seek to unite the streets - if you got cash and care about what I'm saying
that's fine - Dr. King had cash and used it to help make change in his time
what matters more - how you look or if you're rich or poor? are you sure
we're that different? which one you think's the bigger war? they rap about
money and riches - which is funny 'cause hip hop was started by kids in
New York who couldn't even afford instruments - it was a voice of the
voiceless of the ghetto - the rhyme told ya - do you know the 5 elements
of hip hop culture? Beatboxin - DJin - break dancin - we have rappin
graffiti - see we real rappers still teach the facts and
One time I asked a kid what is his race - the kid cried - sayin I don't
know who my parents are so how can I reply? 9 years passed
realized I asked that for the last time - when I rhyme my plan's to
expand many minds and fam let me tell you how the concept of race
was enacted - racial identities were created by the rulers to turn the
masses - against each other and not their rulers - that's how it happened
in the past it was an action that lasted till today but what I'm asking is
Call me the rhyme time bandit - my time I demand it - freestyle I
didn't plan it - this track I been handed - one human fam spanning
Pacific to Atlantic - a track by a man who want you to understand this

Todos Somos Iquales
This song is in Spanish and the translation is underneath it in green
INTRO: Vamo - iqualdad - ahora mismo - vamo
Los jefes son locos completamente - necesitamos muchos cambios
real y permanente - solamente este vivir suficientemente
como Roberto Clemente yo'se es este hasta muerte mas que verde
dime la tierra no se vende - la mayoria los presidentes son corruptos
tristemente pero evidentemente un mundo mejor es posible si
trabajamos para este - que es mas imporante? todo el mundo
habran los ojos - un ataque contra uno es un ataque contra todos

No Frackin Way
What's frackin that's tapping in the ground - drilling for gas found beneath
the surface of the earth but it's a curse - one of the worst things to do
it's true and it's a threat to you 'cause imagine the fear of turning on your
water near a match and it explodes - that's known to happen with the crime
known as hydrofracking - that brings us to sing this reaction - attacking
frackin saying frack that and frack fracking - frack that - the fact's that
with fracking gas gets in our water supply - why would you wanna drink
gas? I'll pass but we can try to stop guys lying that's frackin for gas
specializing in supplying batches of chemical trash - polluting our H20
we hate it so we let you know - it's best to show we get better go and
try to find a better road (echo) - with solutions that don't include water
pollution - I'll conclude with saying stop fracking that's the movement
HOOK
Say no frack today - no frackin way!
Here a frack - there a frack - everywhere a frack - frack this - frack that
and frack frackin - first finish frenzied failures finding fossil fuels
future's finding featured focus finding frackin's not doable - as usual
sun and wind (power) is far more suitable - renewable - clean - a dream
that's far more beautiful - geothermal, sun, and wind - any energy that's
clean - finish frackin - first find the facts show that it's obscene - I mean
too many people getting sick from frackin - it's a scheme - it's a lie
natural gas is not safe - it's not clean - I mean for the earth's sake
they say it's causing earthquakes - stop looking for gas look to wind and
solar energy - stop frackin is the rememdy - stop poisoning our water
'cause it seems out of order - a scene where we dream about clean lakes,
rivers, and streams - it seems - crazy's what frackin means
OUTRO:
___ F's in a row in that second verse flow (x2) can you count how many?
Taking action - to stop frackin!

Textbook Lies
They use Hellen Keller as a model of inspiration that you can overcome
any situation that you facing but they mistaken 'cause she said if her
parents didn't have that cash arrangement they couldn't have afforded
all her teaching and her training and she knew it but our history books
and schools they all blew it 'cause the problem is only those with money
have the money to solve 'em - they say work harder and smarter and
you'll be what you're supposed to be but know I see people with
3 jobs barely affording their groceries - they don't teach us that
Washington he owned slaves and it's odd - seeing his statue 10 feet tall
body of a Greek god - they teach history like it ended - as if it didn't
keep resulting in our present - many racists they call heroes we call
presidents - truth we need this - though i didn't wanna believe this
the richest country is one of the most violent and mischievous
wars spreading - the U.S. warlord of war weapons - we got the most
weapons and wars - the bully of the planet - but when you
confront 'em bullies lie every time that's their habit - start having
truth in action happen when you start asking
HOOK
Why do they lie and hide the truth that we facing?
Why do our textbooks lie in education?
You wanna make school more interesting? just tell the truth
the real gangsters is the government - we got books full of proof
Howard Zinn - Tha People's Music CD that I unfolded the
Lies My Teacher Told Me - all sources that told like it's supposed
to be - I know it's the inclination to avoid conflict situations
so they afraid saying nothing about the U.S. bullying other nations
no other country has a military base in the United States
why the U.S. have a base in almost every country every place?
why our textbooks tell us everything every president did was great?
but ask your teacher - why the richest country can't feed the poor
ask your teacher - why the U.S. got the most weapons for war
ask you teacher - why rich people got 3 or 4 houses while
people sleeping on the floor - ask your teacher why the ghettoes
in the cities don't look the same as the suburbs that's rich in the same
state and to explain and a great teacher'll tell you how we can
arrange to make a change and say with you with rage
In 1493 Columbus stole all that he could see - he killed Natives and
stole their land - he did it 'cause he had all the best weapons in his hands
he spoke Spanish to the Natives saying, "If you don't become a Christian,
we'll kill you and make your kids and wives slaves while they're livin"
all arisen from greed - money is why he crossed the seas - 500 years
European world domination - weapons and greed leads to them still
bombing nations - a situation where our textbooks lie and try to hide the past
so you won't question what they did - they still lie to the mass(es)
when they killed too many Natives they wanted more slaves created
so then Hati they invaded - but Hati fought back for 10 years and
almost overcame it - then the slave makers started that European
racist act African slave tradin - understandin the lies we're told in our
texts is - seeing most of our government (still) comes from Columbus' descendants
they tell us he was good and so are we in what the present is - to become good
we could stop the wars spreading - no more weapons - use that money to
start ending - starvation - start facing - that's the way to start changing
matter fact till that happens need you to start saying

Worker's Rights (feat. T.O.)
This song features T.O. aka Kalki whose lyrics are in green
To make the world better is the biggest thing to believe in
it's the meaning of life and this is what gives life meaning
not living life for this mission is living life for no reason
get rich? I'd die fighting for all life to be even
All life is born equal but the forms of evil some are subjected to
is abject and rude - some kids are destitute (poor) and
work a 6-10 (shift) and at the end of the workday they pay them 60 cents
Yo we know our phones and technology is made by slaves in sweatshops
where they not getting paid properly - that's why we only buy what we
need - do you wanna stop sweatshops or do you believe in greed?
you need your 9 to 5 - some barely live to survive - you like your Nikes
but there's kids that died so you could wear them with pride why not fight
for their rights? you'd be scared of your job if you had their life and strife
HOOK
Sweatshops is where workers - they hardly getting paid
Sweatshops is where workers getting treated like they slaves
Sweatshops where workers work crazy hours day and night
Workers not paid right - why not fight for worker's rights?
Why should we buy things we don't need? it kills trees and
likely made by slaves working in Chinese sweatshops that's
overseas and these things we buy we say "bye" by throwing
them in the trash and we think they leave but they stay in
landfills filling the land ya can't breathe and the smell is so bad
when ya pass 'em - the anthem of this country could be consumption
and waste - land of inequality the place we buy junk and rat race
that cash chase is disgusting - repulsive - empathy is wiped out
it's corrosive - atrocious - what I wanna know is - do you wanna
get rich or do right? what your road is? so I wrote this so you
could focus - 'cause most of what we're told in life is bogus
our clothes is from sweatshops - stop shopping - a smart option's
to start plotting to revolutionize - the solution is unionize
on top of it is this - the big bosses getting rich - what they did is
make sure their workers not paid enough to live - so look up
union made clothes and go support those - to oppose and close
to sweatshops we say no! Truth and T.O. foes of greed see we show
The worth of life is priceless - if you worked a day and night shift
you might get it - if you had to fight for your life every second and
your family was starving and living in society's margins - yet you
couldn't even afford to feed them and couldn't afford the clothes
you make because of the greed of your patrons - those that hate this
cause we opened your eyes and you'd rather live in open denial
wake up to the smoke and the fire - society is burning down
while you slowly admire fascinated by the flames - half the patrons
in this game are corrupted and diseased - ruptured at the seams
like the cheap clothes they make - teach those mistaken - quote them
and speak facts - me and Truth'll both keep rapping 'till the whole
globe is reacting - all over the atlas - be proactive - it starts with
you - so spark a revolution

Why Do They Lie?
Why they always call Europeans the "settlers" when they raided a land
Natives already settled - shouldn't we call Europeans invaders or aggressors?
today they still trying to "settle" I mean take and invade the Middle East
denying peace with they weapons - the TV say they hate us for our freedom
you think that's the real reason for 911? or you think it's the way we've
treated the Middle East that we should question? 'cause it hurts to admit
we support leaders there who give us cheap oil but treat their people like
shhhhhhh - or support for Israel's mistreatment of citizens that's Palestinian?
it's forgotten - though Osama Bin Laden made this case - aren't you
too smart to keep believing all the times when history teachers lie
it's a disgrace - you know textbook's goals ain't to teach history correctly
but to copy and follow a model that makes the most money directly?
it's a mess you think we can solve the world's problems with tests?
HOOK: Why do they lie!? Why - Why do they lie?!
Textbooks that they write say the USA is always right with no flaws
the cause of why we think we're the greatest - don't that cripple our mind
from understanding why other countries might hate us? and if we're always
right in what we're doing - how we supposed to solve the problems of
the future with solutions - or who's losing at the present - they tell us
over time we keep progressing - keep rising - are we getting more
open minded? Abe Lincoln had a beard and he was president of the states
to this date you see a (New York) Yankee with a beard on his face?
You believe it 'cause a textbook, teacher, or politician communicate it?
why our books say we invade to stop chaos or communism but don't
explain it? why make us memorize what dates is? and what every
president's name is? how that help us with basic problems that we facing?
is it relating to our lives or wasting time with their lies in their lectures?
so don't we really need a b.s. detector to know when we're
getting tricked over getting those answers for a tester?
I rap with logic - who would knock it - not for profit - like the project
of writing history textbooks - do you think this needs a second look?
they took the position that patriotism's more important than the facts
about the past that they lived in - is something missing when they say
the president passed an act but don't write about the protest that
forced the president to react? in fact they don't talk about rich and
poor 'cause probably bringing up inequality would mess with their
U.S. the hero mythology - are you sorry to see that people submit
and don't act and just listen to authorities? it's horribly ineffective
shouldn't the point of history be to learn from the past and it's lessons?
how can we do that when they act like what we did was near
perfection? it's affecting every class - can you see the way they teach
the past doesn't help us understand our present? 'cause their lies
don't relate to our times or our lives or why poor people die and cry
why?! - students'll start finding history interesting when - their
textbooks and teachers stop lying to them - if it affects how
we're living won't we find it more interesting? (no doubt)
How can learning help us have a better future for us to live in
when they try and hide the past in class textbooks that they've written?
it's a mess - how can we learn to be our best when they teach us
only the government matters? not the people - we not equals?
just listen to them right? they always know best right? like when
they say war's okay we're gonna torture those we fight - when they
write do they talk about the future that we facing? our history doesn't
affect our present or our future is what they're saying? this version
why learn it? why not learn why we've killed? why our oil spills?
why we drill (for oil)? why they used slavery to build this country
as the richest? - and why we really drop bombs on people's villages?
or why 1% of people owns half of the country? are the other 99%
of us really that lazy - it's funny - 'cause aren't most rich people
just born to parents with money? aren't our books just written
by people? we're people - aren't we equals? aren't you too
smart to believe the lies the next time when they try?

Let's All Blame the Victim!
INTRO: The way our brain works and the way we're taught
is to blame people for their problems - is that right?
or should we try and help fix those problems? to help people
think about it... (echo)
But how can we stop terror? how can we stop the wars? how 'bout
getting out of other countries lands and then assure we use the U.S.'s
riches to help feed the world's poor? - would they really hate us then?
if we stopped trying to run other countries and used money for building
missiles to fill plates for the hungry? and not just left these nations but
paid 'em money to fix what we destroyed in reparations - it's a shame
it ain't came and the reason is greed - money and power's a disease
we're born from love not greed or racism - no child is born a racist
they teach us to hate women - we all victims of this teaching
I don't preach I teach vision for those smart enough to understand
we need a plan that's uplifting - be a trendsetter it's a pleasure
women are equal to men but most women are better
women raise us and usually show us love and not hatred
love like a good mother's love's the answer we need created
HOOK:
Instead of blaming the victim - help them make a living
bad things happen to good people it's not hidden
I used to be like you believing in what they recited
I just read a few books that made me enlightened
now there's millions of people like me that's not frightened
we excited to tell you about texts that lie when they write it
or the leave out the most important parts in what they highlighted
the just world hypothesis says poor people get what they gotta get
but really life is crazy and it's more like the opposite
should we really blame the victim? or blame those in power
who could take things and flip 'em - who could use their money
to share it and create a better system - we could fix it what's missing
but instead of making sure everybody has a job so they can make
a living - their division from this mission is they keep building buildings
to put poor people into prison
I know you thinking this rapper's way off - man he's gotta be
'cause I read up on submission to authority in psychology
we gotta question everybody - those in power especially
the ones who could make our world better more readily
people getting what they need's the solution - ya mean the remedy
They teach us to worship money like it's a god - it's a fact
you can love money but money can't love you back
and when you get riches gotta wonder who's loving me
for who I am - and who loves me for the money?
love's not about what you can buy for a person - love is sharing
and helping any person who's hurting - whose version of love
do you believe in? which one are you immersed in?
where's the love for the people who can't find a job
when they're searching? for all the layoffs they hurting
let's all blame the jobless and not blame the real monsters
they move our jobs overseas just for greed and where the profit is
they know workers need some money so they're treated like
hostages - (overseas) they're working conditions is basically like
slavery - it's not us and them - like they say hating-ly
it could be you - in their shoes where their babies be
or they could kill you or your family acting in violence
to fight back at those in charge - or those that chose silence
let's all blame the victim - don't help 'em I'm just kidding
we gonna have major problems till real love is arisen
who you really wanna blame the victim or politicians?
is to blame people for their problems - is that right?
or should we try and help fix those problems? to help people
think about it... (echo)
But how can we stop terror? how can we stop the wars? how 'bout
getting out of other countries lands and then assure we use the U.S.'s
riches to help feed the world's poor? - would they really hate us then?
if we stopped trying to run other countries and used money for building
missiles to fill plates for the hungry? and not just left these nations but
paid 'em money to fix what we destroyed in reparations - it's a shame
it ain't came and the reason is greed - money and power's a disease
we're born from love not greed or racism - no child is born a racist
they teach us to hate women - we all victims of this teaching
I don't preach I teach vision for those smart enough to understand
we need a plan that's uplifting - be a trendsetter it's a pleasure
women are equal to men but most women are better
women raise us and usually show us love and not hatred
love like a good mother's love's the answer we need created
HOOK:
Instead of blaming the victim - help them make a living
bad things happen to good people it's not hidden
I used to be like you believing in what they recited
I just read a few books that made me enlightened
now there's millions of people like me that's not frightened
we excited to tell you about texts that lie when they write it
or the leave out the most important parts in what they highlighted
the just world hypothesis says poor people get what they gotta get
but really life is crazy and it's more like the opposite
should we really blame the victim? or blame those in power
who could take things and flip 'em - who could use their money
to share it and create a better system - we could fix it what's missing
but instead of making sure everybody has a job so they can make
a living - their division from this mission is they keep building buildings
to put poor people into prison
I know you thinking this rapper's way off - man he's gotta be
'cause I read up on submission to authority in psychology
we gotta question everybody - those in power especially
the ones who could make our world better more readily
people getting what they need's the solution - ya mean the remedy
They teach us to worship money like it's a god - it's a fact
you can love money but money can't love you back
and when you get riches gotta wonder who's loving me
for who I am - and who loves me for the money?
love's not about what you can buy for a person - love is sharing
and helping any person who's hurting - whose version of love
do you believe in? which one are you immersed in?
where's the love for the people who can't find a job
when they're searching? for all the layoffs they hurting
let's all blame the jobless and not blame the real monsters
they move our jobs overseas just for greed and where the profit is
they know workers need some money so they're treated like
hostages - (overseas) they're working conditions is basically like
slavery - it's not us and them - like they say hating-ly
it could be you - in their shoes where their babies be
or they could kill you or your family acting in violence
to fight back at those in charge - or those that chose silence
let's all blame the victim - don't help 'em I'm just kidding
we gonna have major problems till real love is arisen
who you really wanna blame the victim or politicians?

In Their Shoes
INTRO: Put yourself in their shoes - that means - imagine what it's like
to have another person's problems - it could be me - it could be you
it could be anyone (echo)
Imagine you got really sick and couldn't work for a year - and your
boss said, "you're fired we don't want you here." and the bank took
you house 'cause without working you couldn't make the payments
for your house so now you're sleeping on the pavement - it's basic
it's the tale - of how half the people with no money got on the path
to fail - and it's bleak - now you're living in the street - your parents
died when you were you young - you know no one who could help
you back on your feet - that's how most become homeless
so think about this speech when you meet 'em in the streets
hey yo kid - that was deep - we got the best healthcare system
in the world if you got the cash - but it don't work for a lot and not
for the working class - DYFS would rather take away kids from
their mother than provide - money to help the mother buy food and
survive - the lines in my rhymes is meant for you to put yourself in
the shoes of other lives - to see the world through their eyes
not to cry but to do something to make it better at least try
- - empty inside - or empathize
HOOK: Put yourself in their shoes and do something to help
From my last album I learned what I couldn't understand - I could
rap a song in 50 different languages on command - and man you'd
still judge me by my hits and how popular I am - it's outrageous
is it more important to see lives in danger and save it - or you think
it's more important to be on tour and be famous? - think before choosing
do you wanna be shallow? do you wanna be stupid? do you want
a good job? if you get it - you wanna lose it? can you see who really
loses when people have nothing? imagine you're a parent and I'ma show
you something - your cousin and your daughter go to an ATM to get
the money they could spend - to see a movie - but two men kill 'em
from behind a bend - they got nothing they don't care about getting
locked up again - you can't escape inequality - it can take away
your best friend - that's how it affects all women and all men in the end
can you see what would happen if we all had what we needed?
can you feel what it's like to be poor and mistreated?
if people help each other we don't have to be defeated
OUTRO:
The message for ever protester of oppression
is everything that I've mentioned on this CD's connected

What Democracy Sounds Like
They say they locked up in Cuba for their political differences
but (they're) on the U.S. payroll - they call 'em political dissidents
(they're) against la revolucion (Cuban revolution) they say it's
illegitimate - they want Cuba's land for business & political interests
celebrating independence - (they) don't want Cuba to have it's
independence - (the US) it's independence for the rich
the poor is 2nd class residents - the real gangsters is the government
money, guns, they loving it - and go to war with anyone that's in they
way of running it - they say we got freedom (in the U.S.)
free to maneuver - but find you're not free - if you want to go to Cuba
(it's illegal for U.S. citizens to travel to Cuba!) - they lying
make you wonder what they hiding 'bout the island - what you buying
why you need it - 'bout the pesticides we eating - is it freedom
in this system? Democracy arisen? it's not democracy - it's an
auction that we live in - it's a prison for your mind - for your brain
they been lying since beyond the second grade - saying black
history started when they took blacks as slaves - saying this country
started when Columbus sailed the waves - we need change
major aid - I'm saying
HOOK
Show me what democracy sounds like - This is what democracy sounds like!
Natives (Native Americans) said thanks Columbus for discovering me
we wear that on shirts when we feel sarcastically - thanks for bringing
chicken and liquor to the 'hoods where we dwell - thanks for putting
drugs in the hood to give us poison to sell - thanks for sending jobs
overseas and selling us a dream - we'll be rich and pay workers a lot
less than what they need - and we can keep raising prices making kids
hard to feed - and only care about celebrities - who they dating
what they wearing - not caring about our fellow humans getting
screwed major - they tell us keep living in this hell and keep waiting
for a savior - but what savior allows this and then makes us wait for
later - I don't accept this behavior - I believe you're as important
as any other stranger - the leader's lies are the danger
Fundamentalists I'm like Yo - I wanted to be born again but
my mom said no! it's pathetic - I mean they so apathetic that
I'm sent to redirect it - like a spirit of Huey Newton
Black Panther resurrected - escucha la musica (listen the music)
social justicia (justice) - mind freer - appearing in every line you hear
siempre dije (I've always said) un mundo mejor es posible
a better world's possible (translation of above line) the obstacle
is greed - we believe it's not optimal - the dream is unstoppable
We the 99% - rich people are few - you can't spell revolution
without U - politicians only listen to who - - give 'em money
it's true - - they say the U.S. is a democracy - really it's a lottery
where no one wins until we stop poverty - they say success is
money but we're deceived - taught to worship greed - told don't
question the pollution that we breathe - petty criminals in prison
(while) countries ran by grand thieves - the two major parties
they share a lot of values - like money, money, money and corruption
where's the balance? the desire for material things it keeps growing
like a cancer - (I'm) envisioning a whole new system where
spreading love is the answer - that's all we saying in protests
that we set up - but to sew the seed more people need to get up
stop following orders - stop thinking what they tell ya
what they tell ya's not for love - it's for money what they sell ya
The best vitamin for a revolutionary is B-1 - the best way for
reforming this system is for it to be done - all we want is for people
to have what they need - governments just want power they just
act to max greed - the first men that said that we have freedom here
the same men owned slaves all the days of their years
$50,000 debt for graduating college - in Cuba it's free college
look it up get the knowledge - U.S. kids go there and for free
become a doctor - the ones on top they wanna stop you from
knowing - how to get equality 'cause it stop them from growing
the states is great we got medicine for profit - we could stop it
in Cuba it's free (healthcare) they all got it - they also got it in
Europe and so many other places - not believing this injustice
I hate it - it's so blatant - but the masses see worse than
Ray Charles in the dark - 'cause they face mis-education when
their education start - olviden a menudo (they forget often)
pero todos somos uno (but we're all one) believe it we're all one
when we do - that's when corruption ends - and it's done
but (they're) on the U.S. payroll - they call 'em political dissidents

Positive Energy (feat. Why)
This one's for Why who told me when I frown to say 10 positive
things out loud or write it down - for Bob Marley - Dr. King and all
the positive people that lived and did their thing - it's true - I mean
this part's for you - for supporting my independent music - for the
people and crews who learn the truth and don't lose it - for all the
teachers teaching kids with a real education - for elevation of the mind
I free minds - my occupation - at demonstrations doing marches,
protests, and strikes - I met so many heads dedicated to human rights
this is for those who show love and no hate - who treat all those
they know the same as one human race - it's so great - positivity
leads to sensitivity - compassion - appreciating the good times I have
laughing - for music that enriches my soul - to the whole legion of
people who could never be bought or sold
HOOK
You know the vibe - positive energy gets me inclined
to write a rhyme on the positive side
It's a lot of good in this world - many people won't judge you if
you like boys or girls - sometimes I love life - I love the people
who'd die just to fight for my rights - it's a beautiful thing like Spring
showing love - looking at the bright side sometimes is enough
sometimes I have days where I say nothing negative
it's a way to stay sane - a better sedative than medicine
this is for a beat that could change the vibe of your day
for the people we meet that help guide you on your way
a track for the people you know that you can trust and
for times you can relax, sit back, and do nothing
for love and free hugs - for those that show love
for maturity to assuredly rise above - for animals - for emus
for the beauty that's in nature - for soothing food to savor
that tastes great with major flavor - for those who adopt
to share love with a stranger
This is for lighting candles, relaxation, and meditation
a romantic comedy with a special someone situation
for reggae and remedies - blue jays and great memories
scenic skies to the eye - askin why? - for people showing love
to everyone they pass by - who cares - for who shares
for who dares to be original whose not scared - for the people
who help you get prepared - for fresh air - for remembering it
gets better - for good smells - for overcoming what you're dealt
for feeling well and staying humble - for the mothers that stayed
with us even though we stayed in trouble - for the jungle
for the trees - a nice breeze and fall leaves - for Robin Hood
and the rest of the leverage type of thieves - for writing down
the best things that's ever happened in your life - for reliving it
later when you go to read it late at night - this is for the times
when the good guys win - for my lines that's fine
I gotta rewind again - for the ladies and guys who rise above
times and trends - for Why who inspired this rhyme that I penned
OUTRO: (Why): "I like the energy - I like the energy"

Solutions Part II (feat. D. King)
INTRO: (Rain falling) "Spiritual Music - Revolutionize..."
"Truth, tell them some solutions. Truth, tell them some solutions right now"
After hearing this CD you probably feel inspired - but humans are
forgetful - that's just the way we're wired - it's not something we
choose - it's a message not to lose - so regularly view Democracy
Now to get your news - if you live in the ghetto and feel it's a big
prison - but you're not mature enough to care about news that we
live in - at least don't just blame yourself - blame the system
I suggest taking anger we lash out at our hoods - and directing at
our leaders - it could do some good - at best in the form of activism
at the system - with the groups that I've listed inside my CD it's written
hope you facing only voting ain't erasing or solving - cause most of
our leaders they created our problems - to fix it we need people like
us together getting involved in - like the groups on my website who
get it right - I mean if you wanna fight for what's right and not just
for the right price
HOOK
The groups on my website get it right - I mean if you wanna fight
for what's right and not just for the right price
the fact I say - we can take action in many different ways
To cut air pollution by 50% you and me need to see is to stop
supporting these companies making SUVs - talking about WMDs
make me wanna laugh or something - cause these SUVS are
weapons of mass destruction - cars pollute our air - but driving
SUVs is like driving two cars at once everywhere
some people say it has to be - this acronym that you see
S for Superficial - U for Urban - V for Vanity
polluting our air - it's not fair - they poisoning the food that we share
so get food that's organic support that important habit - it's factual
organic food's not poison - it's all natural - we could bring evil
companies with greed to their knees - by supporting smaller
businesses with unions who believe - that meeting human needs
is more important than sending our jobs overseas - by getting
Union-Made clothing and seeking sweatshop free - you and me
need to check the tags on clothes we need to get
try not to buy 'em unless they say they made in the U.S.
it's easy just look up sweatshop free on the 'net
We can try to walk - bike - bus - train - to avoid the pollution
that using cars makes - get with Credo Cell Phones -
Working Assets Credit Cards - it's hybrids we can ride in and
driving electric cars - vegetable oil conversion for your engine
did I mention Zapatista Coffee is the best coffee we can get and
stop buying things we don't need to consume - and before you
recycle - reuse - and refuse to be a part of the problems and
the ways they be spreading - start thinking how to solve 'em on
the way to protesting - the U.S. it ain't the only place that exists
on this planet - learn about other places how they live with
different habits - we can vote by choosing how we gonna spend
our money - with the goal not to support companies so corrupt
it's not funny - don't buy bottled water it's a scam - half of it's tap
water anyway - every brand - and of course this plastic bottle
making wastes a lot of oil and resources - pursue only purchasing
refurbished or used
'Nuff man know Tha Truth him is with Solution
LOVE is spelled out backwards in the word rEVOLution
let's do it - I shoot rhymes like Cupid stupid - when I do this music
it's coming through your hi-fi (speakers) the rhymes of I
are do or die - no lie - rely on just vinegar and baking soda as
supplies to clean your home - leave cleaning products alone
it's more green - try a Credo phone - you see me known -
you've been shown - you wanna practice taking action on your own
OUTRO: (D King) Go to ThaTruthMusic.Com... One person can
make a difference... do something
