Afu-ra - Readjustment Lyrics
Artist: Afu-Ra Album: Life Force Radio Title: Readjustment [Man's voice] The end...justifies the means Two-two-two wrongs...make, a right I-I should come first, in this nation [Q] You gotta readjust the means I'll tell you what I mean Sometimes you gotta work it out Sometimes you gotta figure it out You gotta readjust the means I'll tell you what I mean Sometimes you gotta work it out Sometimes you gotta figure it out Yeah, yeah...yeah [Afu-Ra] I have so many questions, guessin' what life's about Usin' seven of my nine lives, figurin' out I'm goin' through it day to day Or should I say: maze to maze? I know that jewels light the way, listen There's too many shades of grey, tryin' to stay, right Peripheral vision, is seekin' out my sunlight I know that love is love, and hate is hate Twenty-seven years of tribulation marking my case Yeah, I guess I'm stressing my case There's only one thing I'm promised in life That's my fate Born to set the pace while I'm racin' the race I know it's hard work, that's why I'm holdin' the ace As I look to jump, up on that righteous path I got angels on one shoulder, demons on the other half A mirror face to face, surveying my landscape All the while I be singing this space [Q] You gotta readjust the means I'll tell you what I mean Sometimes you gotta work it out Sometimes you gotta figure it out You gotta readjust the means I'll tell you what I mean Sometimes you gotta work it out Sometimes you gotta figure it out Yeah, yeah...yeah [Afu-Ra] As we haze through the haze of enslavement While the sweat's beatin millions of feet pound on the pavement I know it's nine to five, or five to nine Forget about the thoughts that I'm wastin' my time Just use the tutelage, of your legendary fore-fathers Cos right now, we now the struggle is ours It's not too complicated, just combinations of pulling our resources Of our sisters and our brothers Who be a alike, that's a little insight The strength be coming in numbers it's like dynamite No riddle right, spit it right, about some real life And are we really rich, at peace and settled? When everyday homeless people peddle for nickels While Easy Mo Bee strikin' a chord Of this hip-hop oracle, desires for life And what? You know what I'm coming to It's just my point of view [Q] You gotta readjust the means I'll tell you what I mean Sometimes you gotta work it out Sometimes you gotta figure it out You gotta readjust the means I'll tell you what I mean Sometimes you gotta work it out Sometimes you gotta figure it out Yeah, yeah...yeah yeah yeah (reverbs) [Afu-Ra] And as we realise life, and what? We gotta suck it in And are we droppin' some knowledge, or are we frontin' an'? Your course in life, no matter how you rub it in There's so many roads, either you strugglin' or bubblin' [Q] You gotta readjust the means I'll tell you what I mean Sometimes you gotta work it out Sometimes you gotta figure it out You gotta readjust the means I'll tell you what I mean Sometimes you gotta work it out Sometimes you gotta figure it out You gotta readjust the means I'll tell you what I mean Sometimes you gotta work it out Sometimes you gotta figure it out You gotta readjust the means Tell me what I mean Sometimes you gotta work it out Sometimes you gotta figure it out Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
