Dead Prez’s “A New Beginning”

Times is getting rough, huh? That's nothing new to us There's nothing to discuss. Just make adjustments, time is up This crazy world we live in, they taking, ain't no giving Consuming, not producing. We got a problem, Houston Its worse than genocide, they get inside your mind Tricked 'ya. You thought the finish line was 1999, didn't 'ya? Try to save the trees but you can't go green without that black and red If we gon' get free we got to change that lightbulb in our head [Hook] The end of the world don't mean too much to us It's a new beginning Ashes to ashes, dust to dust to us It's a new beginning Stock market crashing daily, they say that times are scary They dollar's losing value, but the hood knew that already The price of gas been rising, at times we can't afford it The oil supply is leaking, facing a global shortage According to news reporters, every year its getting warmer These violent weather patterns, some say it's just nature's karma They planting they seeds of fearing, genetic engineering Interfering with the crops and now the bees are disappearing Don't know what is upon us, just know one thing for certain Change is so necessary cause they system is not working Maybe it would take destruction to make a better world And if that's what it takes then I hope Babylon just keep on burning We -- we got a problem, Houston x3 [Hook x3]
