《A Better Land》歌词

[00:00:00] A Better Land - Heavy D & The Boyz

[00:00:01] America is essentially a dream

[00:00:04] It is a dream of a land where men of all races

[00:00:08] Of all nationalities and of all creeds

[00:00:16] Can live together as brothers

[00:00:19] We hold these truths to be self-evident

[00:00:23] That all men are created equal

[00:00:29] (Heavy D)

[00:00:31] Here we go

[00:00:53] On the news bad news is all the news you'll ever see

[00:00:58] (pity pity)

[00:00:59] The rich gettin richer while the poor still live in poverty

[00:01:02] (ain't it a shame)

[00:01:03] I don't understand why you can't lend a helping hand

[00:01:07] To another man who is your brother man

[00:01:09] Times must change now here's the plan

[00:01:12] Let's make this land a better land

[00:01:14] "We've gotta make this land a better land"

[00:01:16] "I know we can make"

[00:01:18] "We've gotta make this land a better land"

[00:01:21] "I know we can make"

[00:01:24] "We've gotta make this land a better land"

[00:01:27] "I know we can make"

[00:01:33] "In the world in which we live"

[00:01:35] Oh uh-oh excuse me - yo man you stepped on my foot

[00:01:37] And for that you feel a brother's life should be took

[00:01:39] Don't be ridiculous come on and get with this

[00:01:42] Movement for improvement together we'll get rid of this

[00:01:45] Set back and in fact the knowledge that we lack

[00:01:47] We'll gain back and retrack the steps that we lost back

[00:01:50] When times were hard but things are gettin better

[00:01:53] They said when it's cold one should wear a sweater

[00:01:55] Crack - a substance smoked by the idiots

[00:01:58] Sold by the thoughtless allowed by the government

[00:02:00] Those who speak politically it's all trickery

[00:02:03] I don't get with fools and fools they can't get with me

[00:02:06] Well well well looka here guess what happened

[00:02:08] A fight at a concert and they blamed it on rapping

[00:02:11] Don't you have anything else better to do

[00:02:13] Than to diss rap and the things that we do

[00:02:16] Make it a better land

[00:02:18] "We've gotta make this land a better land"

[00:02:19] "I know we can make"

[00:02:21] "We've gotta make this land a better land"

[00:02:24] "I know we can make"

[00:02:26] "We've gotta make this land a better land"

[00:02:29] "I know we can make"

[00:02:31] "In the world in which we live"

[00:02:37] We've gotta make this land a better land

[00:02:40] "Take you on a Heavy D tour"

[00:02:42] We've gotta make this world a better world

[00:02:45] "Take you on a Heavy D tour"

[00:02:48] We've gotta make this land a better land

[00:02:51] "Take you on a Heavy D tour"

[00:02:53] We've gotta make this world a better world

[00:02:56] "Take you on a Heavy D tour"

[00:02:58] Each night before I sleep on my knees I pray

[00:03:00] ( ) to God to see me through the very next day

[00:03:03] Although I often wonder why our parents they cry

[00:03:06] The situation in society brings tears to their eyes

[00:03:08] Little kids chew your bubblegum go on and have your fun

[00:03:11] Stay in school don't be a fool and you will overcome

[00:03:14] Ah A new President to run the residence

[00:03:16] That's who you voted for was it an accident

[00:03:19] When you see me don't diss me just wish me good luck

[00:03:22] It's you that I'm here for without you I would be stuck

[00:03:26] So when I'm in town don't put me down give me a pound

[00:03:28] I'm not a ruler or a king not tryin to wear a crown

[00:03:30] You're goin too fast slow down or soon you will

[00:03:33] Find yourself appearin at your very own funeral

[00:03:37] You caught a bad hand

[00:03:39] Let's make this land a better land

[00:03:41] "We've gotta make this land a better land"

[00:03:43] "I know we can make"

[00:03:45] "We've gotta make this land a better land"

[00:03:48] "I know we can make"

[00:03:50] "We've gotta make this land a better land"

[00:03:53] "I know we can make"

[00:03:56] "We've gotta make this land a better land"

[00:04:01] "We've gotta make this land a better land"

[00:04:06] "We've gotta make this land a better land"

[00:04:09] "In the world in which we live"

[00:04:15] "I know we can make"

[00:04:17] "We've gotta make this land a better land"

[00:04:19] "I know we can make"

[00:04:36] "I know we can make"

[00:04:41] "I know we can make"

[00:04:46] "I know we can make"
