Positive

Lyrics

Positive (Repeat) (Verse 1) From generation, to generation Tales often told of the families right to win Proud of what my sisters courage did for me Though I don't know why they tried to keep her from me Say what people like, but they don't know the full story Thousands of years before their time Read up on your history, whatever your nation You see what it will do for your state of mind (Pre-Chorus) Can't you see Its a part of you and me Maybe you don't know but I feel, yeah Trying to take away the best of me Oh! sing! (Chorus) Trying to take away the best (What) Trying to take away the best Trying to take away the best (Say what) Trying to take away the best Trying to take away the best (What) Trying to take away the best Trying to take away the best (Say what) (Verse 2) People with the power You have taken our, self respect that's undeniably true These crimes will not pay, because now the people say Return that which does not belong to you Say what people like, but they don't know the full story Thousands of years before their time But you can be sure, as the rich are too poor They'll be trying to wipe the glory from their minds (Pre-Chorus) Can't you see Its a part of you and me Maybe you don't know but I feel, yeah Trying to take away the best of me Oh! Tell 'em now! (Rap) Let's start this part On ??? this time to rise the art form A way to raise ya, and stand apart from The growing number of funky drummers Who refuse to lose and then abuse the platform Made outside of the lords of creation Erasing mutations without explanation But Omar comes in peace, not to preach But to teach in each and every combination From the rhythm of the Beat Generation To the big bad beat of the Rhythm Nation So take your place in outer space And wait for the groove to improve your education So take your place in outer space And wait for the groove to improve your education (Chorus) Trying to take away the best Trying to take away the best (Don't take away the best) Trying to take away the best Trying to take away the best (Don't take away the best) Trying to take away the best Trying to take away the best (Don't take away the best) Trying to take away the best Trying to take away the best (Don't take away the best)
