United Minds Lyrics - Arrested Development

United minds of America 

Make your vocal chords reach the clouds and 

Touch the crowd of folks that over-stand there's no jokes 

We must network together as one and 

Tell the oppressor we'll take no less than 

Total justice a social setting yo I'm bettin' 

We can stop new world order 

Start servin' liberty may I take your order 

Free political prisoners without no question 

Let's give props where due 

If it was you wouldn't you want to know 

That someone cares for what you do so let's show 

Political prisoners, homeless humans, organizations 

Various movements 

That the people in America have some discipline 

To act on their belief therefore stress activism 

Although you are only one person 

If for truth you still thirst well thirst then 

Make the difference by joining 

Some organization or some movement 

Let me explain the powers that be 

Are families of power with old money 

Unfortunately on their souls hangs a sold sign 

And in righteous sight they are so blind! 

Infatuated with their power and their greed 

They don't see that GOD is the answer 

Greed has planted a seed within the souls of the 13 families 

Drug dealers and hustlers 

All my brothers and sisters that are hustlers 

Selling crack cocaine to your followers 

To me you're a sell out an uncle Tom 

In the tom tom club droppin' bombs 

Causing confusion shootin' and killin' 

You're playin the role putting fear in populations 

Making us allow the system to "protect" us 

Allowing the chicken snake to protect the chickens 

Police brutality claiming victims 

The powers that be may come with their solutions 

But trust me their trees bear No fruits no 

I guess that's why I get spiritual 

Spirituality supports reality no not catholic no not Baptist 

No not passive 

Very active! 

United minds of the Americas 

Minds of Africa and the Caribbean 

And the Europeans and the Asians and Australians 

It's not just race we're all in this together! 

Lets play a game of jeopardy what's the question? 

Social Medicines the answer 

I try to eat healthy to avoid the cancer 

One ounce of prevention beats 100 pounds of cure 

Pure ways of living is not hippish 

It's not white not black it's just conscious 

Conscious of your health, conscious of your self 

Instead of being so damn conscious of your wealth 

(or lack of so) 

DO you know about the Panthers, 

The MOVE organization, Kwame 

Nkrumah, the Zulu nation or just Nikes and Pumas 

Or your fascination with the so-called be-Boy fashion nation. 

If you can please recycle 

Even the people in the hood please recycle 

I know it wasn't our fault that they went psycho 

They meaning industry exec's who flex for profit! 

Traditional societies and islanders 

Please retain your culture and don't give up! 

Don't you understand we must understand this 

If we want to live in bliss
