Lyrics

[Intro: Chuck D & Flavor Flav] The rhythm, the rebel Don't believe the hype Yes How low can you go? Show 'em that we can do this Here we go again [Verse 1: Chuck D & Flavor Flav] Uh, your bad self Help us break this down from off the shelf Here's a music servin' you, so use it Papa got a brand-new funk Get down (Party for your right) Huh, let's get it on like we said before Say the brothers causing trouble, hate to bust their bubble 'Cause we rumble from our lower level To condition your condition, we're gonna do a song That you never heard before Make you all jump along to the education Brothers gonna work it out And stop chasin' [Chorus] Brothers gonna, brothers gonna work it out Work it out, brothers gonna work it out (Come on) Brothers, br-brothers gonna work it out Work it out, brothers gonna work it out [Post-Chorus: Flavor Flav & Chuck D] You got it (What it takes) Go get it (Where you want it?) Go get it (Get involved) 'Cause the brothers in the street are willing to work it out [Interlude: Flavor Flav] Come on, y'all, let's go to work [Verse 2: Chuck D & Flavor Flav] So many of us in limbo How to get it on (Uh), it's quite simple Three stones from the sun, we need a piece of this rock Our goal, indestructible soul Answers to this quizzing To the brothers in the street, schools, and the prisons History shouldn't be a mystery Our story's real history, not his story We gonna work it one day 'til we all get paid The right way, in full, no bull Talkin', no walkin', drivin', arrivin', and stylin' Tell 'em soon you'll see what I'm talkin' 'bout (Yeah) 'Cause one day, the brothers gonna work it out [Chorus] Brothers gonna, brothers gonna work it out Work it out, brothers gonna work it out Brothers, br-brothers gonna work it out Work it out, brothers gonna work it out (Let's go) Brothers gonna, brothers gonna work it out Work it out, brothers gonna work it out Brothers, br-brothers gonna work it out Work it out, brothers gonna work it out [Post-Chorus: Flavor Flav & Chuck D] You got it (What it takes) Go get it (Where you want it?) Go get it (Get involved) 'Cause the brothers in the street are willing to work it out [Refrain: Chuck D & Flavor Flav] Let's get it on (We are willing) Let's get it on, let's get it on (We are willing) Let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on (We are willing) Now we are ready if you are ready (Come on) Yo, drop the rhyme in overtime, G [Verse 3: Chuck D & Flavor Flav] In 1995, you'll twist to this As you raise your fist to the music United, we stand, yes, divided, we fall Together we can stand tall Brothers that try to work it out They get mad, revolt, revise, realize They're super bad Small chance a smart brother's gonna be a victim of his own circumstance Sabotaged, shell-shocked Rocked and ruled, day in the life of a fool Like I said before to live it low Life, take your time, time, yo, go slow Lookie here, not a thing to fear Brother to brother, not another as sincere Teach a man how to be father To never tell a woman he can't bother You can't say you don't know what I'm talkin' 'bout But one day on the strength, all the brothers gonna work it out [Chorus] Brothers gonna, brothers gonna work it out Work it out, brothers gonna work it out Brothers, br-brothers gonna work it out Work it out, brothers gonna work it out (Come on) Brothers gonna, brothers gonna work it out Work it out, brothers gonna work it out Brothers, br-brothers gonna work it out Work it out, brothers gonna work it out [Post-Chorus: Flavor Flav & Chuck D] You got it (What it takes) Go get it (Where you want it?) Go get it (Get involved) 'Cause the brothers in the street are willing to work it out [Refrain: Flavor Flav & Chuck D] Let's get it on (We are willing) Let's get it on, let's get it on (We are willing) Let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on (We are willing) Come on (Huh)
