***LYRICS:
Ladies & Gentlemen
This is Sean Ward speaking
I take something old and something new
And I turn that shit into something timeless.
Check this out...
You know that I was once just like you
Sittin' all alone up in my room
Stereo was playing, I had the candles burnin'
Yearnin' for the light to shine on all that I was learnin'
Thinking to myself that there had to be more
Than the shit the teachers told me that my life had in store
But the facts were slow to come! Few and far between!
Enough to crack this cracker up, know what I mean?
Between that & being told I ain't shit
My teachers and my moms almost had me believing it
At the time it seemed so far out of sight
But they couldn't stop me from believing it's all right
When I was young I didn't have a thing to say
Now I get up on the stage and make my way
And mark my words, I'm blowing up this year
'Cuz I ain't got no time for doubt and to hell with fear
I always knew the truth even when I couldn't see it
You can't talk about it - you gotta be it
You can't say one day, you gotta say now
Just start moving, right there in your town
Just start with nothing, don't worry 'bout whatever
It's you you're screwing if when you move is never
If you wanna live forever with your star shining bright
Then you gotta maintain the faith that it's all right
It's all right! That's my word!
Take it to the streets, make sure everybody heard
Shout it from the rooftops and up to the sky
It's the 21st century-ligion, let's all try
To work it out without a doubt the youth'll bring the clout to end the drought
Their vision blurred, the straights are scurred, they haven't heard the power's out
They're on the run! They're bobbin' and weavin'
They won't go down quick, no - they keep deceiving
The sight says fright that they're mightier than ever
But they can't pull the wool, no, we're too clever
However, if we're to unite and keep it tight
Then we gotta always remember this: that it's all right
