Lyrics

[Chorus] We got to advance! We got to advance! 'Cause nothing in our lives ever happened by chance! We got to advance! We got to advance! We have got to advance! [Verse: Levi 167] Every generation after every generation The American nation is hit with starvation The exploitation, the quick sensation Can only lead your mind to destroy the creation Creation with the mind - destruction with the knife Can only lead this planеt to this present way of life As you analyzе the words to read the situation You find yourself well off with this useful information Information granted but your brain goes bling And like the lights in computers the brain now thinks From the mind, the omnipresent, to the underpaid peasant The brain can piece the problems from the past and present The Celebrity Three, the future unknown Information give us [?] As you plug into the senses, the knowledge of the brain The wise of the brain represented by the vein [?] down to the letter The heart, liver, stomach, kidney, lungs, etcetera As you put them all together systematically You got the body composition for you and me So party people analyze the way I walk There's a systematic action to the way I talk This can go for any verse [?] larynx [?] but it's too complex So, what happens next as I elaborate On the name and the crew that we create [Chorus] Because we got to advance! We got to advance! 'Cause nothing in our lives ever happened by chance! We got to advance! We got to advance! You see, we have got to advance! [Verse: MC Quality] A-D-V-A-N-C-E The situation clearly brings you to reality What's going on, the function of the wrong 'Cause negative knowledge won't last for long It's the knowledge of the fakers, crooked perpetrators Living second lives as MC duplicators They say to be chilling but it's all a dream Of losing all their minds to the way things seem You can bust these instructions with no interruption The basehouse function, it's only destruction You make your deduction a fly reproduction No sexy seduction to this introduction To all these injunctions you must respect Experience and knowledge creates intellect Drugs of the future, present and past Pills, alcohol, cocaine and grass Situate your thoughts, just this ain't the deal It simply changes up on the way you feel It was put it long ago for no one else Of four separate ways to destroy themselves Now what I'm tellin' you I know for a fact 'Cause I'm living in a world that expresses bad [Chorus] You see, we got to advance! We got to advance! 'Cause nothing in our lives ever happened by chance! We got to advance! We got to advance! We have got to advance! The grand incredible Scott La Rock! [Verse: KRS-One] Every generation after every generation All the world nation headed for annihilation I say annihilation but I mean disintegration An absolute wipe-off from the face of every nation If you comprehend, you're allowed to ask a question What could be the meaning of degeneration lesson Lesson 1, lesson 2, lesson 3, lesson 4 A newly presented rap - a nuclear war We have elevated far beyond the Rapper's Delight So party people close your eyes and use the mind for the sight We must understand the basic complications of life Before the atom is split and the world is destroyed If you're jamming to the sound, this is what I employ To live it understand it and the knowledge of joy This is the rhyme for the time, elevated from the mind If you comprehend well it's a definite sign Of the positive and negative electrical force Of the whole world today, is on an advance course C and O with the S H2O PO4 Can all be destroyed by a nuclear war So to the black, white, Rican, Indian and Oriental Muslims, Christians, Rastas, Jews, Gentiles We've got to advance, we have got to advance When the situation changes, we don't stand a chance Cause every generation after every generation We got to find ourselves in some worldwide celebration Not with registration or a cotton plantation But different presentation just like more communication The kids in graduation with lesser aggrivation Will tell the other kids of this higher education This higher education, which is really observation Or more self-realization which will lead to relaxation Not evacuation for fear of bomb mutation Or packing helpless families in some army transportation This army transportation has sent abbreviation U.S.A., which means U Start Annihilation I seem to read the phrase while I'm in this transportation And those who think of war need to practice masturbation I mean what I say cause I say what I mean So listen to my voice, yes we have a choice [Chorus] Because we got to advance! We got to advance! There's nothing in our lives ever happened by chance! We got to advance! We got to advance! We have got to advance! [Outro: Levi 167; All] Situate your thought to the time of conversation [?] observation Rhymes elevating beyond imagination Having people rocking in a different situation 'Cause no one can rock 'Cause no one can rock 'Cause no one can rock this funky notation
