Where there?s life there is water
We depend on mama nature
There?s a message for tomorrow
Everythin? connects to you
Some say soon it will be over
You can see it in the weather
Out of tune with mama nature
What you do comes back to you
We?re not alone
We?re not alone
We?re not alone
We?re not alone
Confucius, Confucius, Sigmund Freud and Farad Muhammad
Is it evolution or God? Searchin? for the truth is a threat
Seems the closer we get to the truth
State troopers or feds come out to silence you
My house in Malibu, probably tapped
?Cause livin? next door to Demi Moore, plus I'm black
Plus I want vengeance for the poor who's attacked daily
Patriot Act never scared me
Jake in the Taurus, sticky in the jar-s
Niggas I'm with got warrants, America's brown
And twenty years from now every town will be brown
And Latin or African, look at Manhattan
I'ma tell you what I seen with my three eyes
Word to me, not a hoax, back in 9-9
A spacecraft in the skyline
In L.A. in daytime, ask Horse if I'm lyin?
Every mother, every father
Raise your sons and your daughters
With respect and with honor
From the seed comes a fruit
It?s an unbroken circle
All of life is universal
And we?re all in the struggle
If I know, one thing is true
We?re not alone
We?re not alone
We?re not alone
We?re not alone
Evidence remains in debate
Documents of our own Air Force base
Additional terrestrial information
Other planets with life population
My observation, scientists study pictures of a flyin? disc
Right on earth, anthropologists are findin? shit
Visitors, probably live with us, they can mimic us
It's sort of what we seein? in the cinemas
Take a look in the mirror
And see the bigger picture
It?s good to be alive
It?s good to be alive
Nobody is an island
We are part of an environment
Only way we gon? survive
Is if we harmonize
We?re not alone
We?re not alone
We?re not alone
We?re not alone
Reginald Lewis, the black billionaire
Before Oprah or Bob Johnson, how'd he disappear?
Conspiracy theories, UFO's in the air
I've seen it with my own two eyes and I swear
Like Warren Buffet, real money, I'm just tryin? to touch it
The diamond encrusted shit, live illustrious
'Cause we was deprived of it, suffered
Now, we pop to prove any thing's possible
My pimp strut was invented when they whipped us
Now, we diddy bop just to show you that our strength's up
Just when niggas ?bout to see they cut
Global warmin? about to burn us up
Niggas never really seen paper in this world
American black?s, the teenager of this world
Give us twenty more years to grow up
Already geniuses, what I mean is this
I used to worship a certain Queens police murderer
'Til I read the words of Ivan van Sertima
He inserted somethin? in me that made me feel worthier
Now, I spit revolution, I'm his hood interpreter
Take a look in the mirror
And see the bigger picture
It?s good to be alive
It?s good to be alive
Nobody is an island
We are part of an environment
Only way we are gon? survive
Is if we harmonize
We?re not alone
We?re not alone
We?re not alone
We?re not alone
Aiyo, I?m American born
Love America, love my people
Love all mankind, all nationalities
You know, I think it?s just been recent
Where ev?rybody started to feel like
It was an elite group that runs everythin?
And everybody else was sheep, ignorant
Makin? all ethnicities colors and creeds niggas
Blind to what?s really goin? on
So, I say take off the wall from your eyes
Out with the old America, in with the new
End all racism, all injustice, all oppression
To poor people, any people anywhere in this planet
Let?s come together, a new day is risin?
