A Better Land Lyrics - Big Tyme - Heavy D & The Boyz

America is essentially a dream, a dream as yet unfulfilled 

It is a dream of a land where men of all races 

of all nationalities and of all creeds 

can live together as brothers. 

We hold these truths to be self-evident 

that all men, are created equal. 

Here we go 

On the news, bad news is all the news you'll ever see (pity pity) 

The rich gettin richer while the poor still live in poverty (ain't it a shame) 

I don't understand why you can't lend a helping hand 

to another man, who is your brother man 

Times must change, now here's the plan 

Let's make this land a better land 

"We've gotta make this land a better land" 

"I know, we can make" 

"In the world in which we live"

Oh uh-oh excuse me - yo man you stepped on my foot 

And for that, you feel a brother's life should be took? 

Don't be ridiculous, come on and get with this 

movement for improvement, together we'll get rid of this 

set back, and in fact, the knowledge, that we lack 

we'll gain back, and retrack, the steps that, we lost back 

when times were hard, but things are gettin better 

They said when it's cold, one should wear a sweater 

Crack - a substance, smoked by the idiots 

Sold by the thoughtless, allowed by the government 

Those who speak politically, it's all trickery 

I don't get with fools and fools they can't get with me 

Well well well looka here, guess what happened? 

A fight at a concert and they blamed it on rapping 

Don't you have anything else better to do 

than to diss rap and the things that we do? 

Make it a better land

We've gotta make this land, a better land 

{"Take you on a Heavy D tour"} 

We've gotta make this world, a better world 

{"Take you on a Heavy D tour"} 

Each night before I sleep, on my knees I pray 

{?} to God to see me through the very next day 

Although I often wonder why, our parents they cry 

The situation in society brings tears to their eyes 

Little kids chew your bubblegum, go on and have your fun 

Stay in school don't be a fool and you will overcome 

Ah ! A new President, to run the residence 

That's who you voted for, was it an accident? 

When you see me, don't diss me, just wish me good luck 

It's you that I'm here for without you I would be stuck 

So when I'm in town, don't put me down, give me a pound 

I'm not a ruler or a king, not tryin to wear a crown 

You're goin too fast, slow down, or soon you will 

find yourself appearin at your very own funeral 

You caught a bad hand 

Let's make this land a better land
