Ursula Rucker – So What ..? Lyrics

Hip Hop/Rap

I'm just checking in on you
To see how you be doing
Cause people be saying it's the end
When really it's the beginning
Yes, life is filled with stress and sin
But life is in the living
It's also filled with love and light
So what, you gon' just give in?
So what, you gon' just give in?

Ethnic, democratic, economic, geographic
Tell me what's your demographic
I'ma put it on the chart and graph it
Reduce your life to data and statistics, it's tragic
Cause a human's life ain't worth shit
Don't get mad at me for saying it
Since we talking records, let's record it
And if you know some history
Then we can call it historic
And if you had a heart or religion
Then maybe you'd support it
So make a flick, put some music to it
I got some people who can score it
But the simple truth of the matter is
The truth is simply epic
Racism, sexism, intolerance, injustice are pandemic
The absence of a system of checks and balances
In this country is systemic
So let's fix it

I'm just checking in on you
To see how you be doing
Cause people be saying it's the end
When really it's the beginning
Yes, life is filled with stress and strife
But life is in the living
It's also filled with love and light
So what, you gon' just give in?
So what, you gon' just give in?

Why don't you take this life that you've been given
Be grateful, sink it, put it in rhythm
And it's okay if you a bit off beat
But still, timing is everything
So open your heart, stop hating
Find some space in your mind for some new information
Square off complacence
Make a commitment to nurture the next generation
End your affair with lamestream radio stations
Replace your miseducation with truth, peace
And this process takes time, so be patient
And friend, it's time for some revision
Adjustment, reconstruction, difference
Revolution, you know, changing
You know, changing

I'm just checking in on you
To see how you be doing
Cause people be saying it's the end
When really it's the beginning
Yes, life is filled with stress and sin
But life is in the living
It's also filled with love and light
So what, you gon' just give in?
So what, you gon' just give in?
I'm just checking in on you
To see how you be doing
Cause people be saying it's the end
When really it's the beginning
Yes, life is filled with stress and sin
But life is in the living
It's also filled with love and light
So what, you gon' just give in?
So what, you gon' just give in?
So what, you gon' just give in?
So what, you gon' just give in?
