We've heard all the great teachings from Malcolm to Martin Now we have this last chance with our brother minister To rise out of the ashes of slavery Time is a very important element in this journey We can't continue to be 24-karat dumb Addicted to retail and bling Wasting time has spent on nonsense We got grown men in toy stores like little children in candy stores Buying PS2's 35 and 40 Black men reduced to boys Time dictates the agenda here Time is god Time is god Enough said, we got to feed our heads This shit is piping over the pulpits, TV sets and radios Hip-hop is moving the masses We've got to take back our children and guide them When you love something You develop the mental capacity to reach the thing that you love No more nonsense The airwaves are poisonous with this gibberish These grim hymns lack light We need to get their ass off the mic If hip-hop is the seeing end of the voices Why is the dead teaching the dead We got to end the reign of pimping and ho-ing And entertainment for the masses Wasting time on nonsense Time dictates the agenda here Time is god Time is god (Allahu Akbar) Time is god Some say we only have a little time left We can use it wisely To teach, think and rebuild our mental banks Great people don't ask comedians, actors and entertainers to lead Great people produce what we need For history to record our deeds as a great nation Or will we continue to be a shell of a once great people Wasting time on nonsense Time dictates the agenda here Time is god Time is god Time is god Time is god Time is god Time is god Time is god Time is god Soul power Soul power Soul power Soul power Soul power Soul power Soul power Soul power
