Show Me The Way

Lyrics

[Intro: Ricky Bell] Huh, yeah Here we go, y'all On a positive vibe [Verse 1: Ricky Bell] Now the truth will be told There's a lot of racism going around We need to stop all this hatred And not continue to keep putting ourselves down [Verse 2: Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe] Six feet under we be dying dead Personal message to the crackhead Base, base pipe, the pipeline Take a hit, everything'll be fine Personal friend of mine, blind Devil signs, it's a short lifetime Puff, puff, puff, puff it away Yo, then back to reality [Chorus: Ricky Bell] Nobody knows which way to go Show me the way (Show me the way, show me the way) Let's come around; people, be down Show me the way (Show me the way, show me the way) [Verse 3: Ricky Bell] Sisters and brothers, don't hurt each other 'Cause we got the world in our hands We can do anything we wanna do Why won't you understand? [Verse 4: Ronnie DeVoe, Michael Bivins] Now who's the man, and does he have a plan To wipe out the race at a steady pace? Yeah, give a nigga guns, give a nigga liquor Turn 'em loose and they kill a little quicker Chop the body up, put up the yellow rope Hey, another brother ODs on dope Beatdowns, riots, kids with little hope As inner cities go up in smoke (Burn, baby, burn) [Chorus: Ricky Bell] Nobody knows which way to go Show me the way (I want to show you) Let's come around; people, be down Show me the way (Show me the way, show me the way) [Interlude: Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe] I just wanna say to all my sisters and brothers out there Don't let society bring you down You gotta get yours, you know what I'm saying? Mhm, and remember to say your prayers 'Cause we're in a time war Only time will tell You know what I'm saying, kids, kids, kids? Yeah, yeah Stay true to the family Keep your friends in pocket tight, too And keep the dream alive And we out [Chorus: Ricky Bell] Nobody knows which way to go Show me the way (Show me the way, show me the way) Let's come around; people, be down Show me the way (Show me the—)
