Right Now lyrics

Artist  : Nappy Roots 
Song : Right Now
 


Hey...stay...nappy
roots....yeah...hey..

Now if the world was
my oyster
Baby girl everyday could be red
lobster
And you would be draped in
pearls
But it's not read the front page herald
we need help
Sometime i wish i could save the
world
Till death i wonder if there's any heros
left
Quiet is kept won't hold my breath
Land
of the slaves, home of the graves
Of war aids,
young aids, gone crazed
These military ways in
a flak scene

Love and basketball
Blood
and alcohol
Cryin' my eyes out
As i watch
the tower fall
Nowhere is safe, comfort is a
coffin man
Lookin' out the window duckin' and
crawlin' man
Daddy your son is callin'
man
Look at this broken man
With broken
plans
Thankfull as hell we holdin'
hands
Now i'm feelin' love used to livin' it
up
Not givin' a f***, livin's
enough

You got to stand for
something

How about some hardcore
Save
the world
Around the globe in ninety
days
Hell on earth they say its nintey-nine
ways
To meet your maker, dare the devil and i
bet you be brave
It's just a phase
Like in
puberty at school to be crazed
I got the
classroom bully on my list to behave
And if he
cant then i'ma show him what it means to be
saved
I'm just a nerd on my last straw
Bout
ten of this my last call
My self esteem
extended like this planet bout to blast off
3
- 2 - 1
Feel the black planet
I'm like damn
is that granite
That I could be a rapper, a
hobo, or some mechanic
That I could be a
failure, in fact thats how I planned it
Cause
I could never say the whole world is too
demanding
And I could never video shoes I
couldnt handle it
So what if i tried to just
do scales and not dibs
And i settled every god
in the crib untill then
Just prepared for this
war to begin so you could stand up

You got
to stand for something
(so you can stand
up)
You got to stand for
something
(understand)
You got to stand for
something
(but nothing)

Mentally still
they whippin' us
30 lashes
Ain't no love,
ain't no sympathy
Them dirty bastards
Be
washin' our brains with chemicals
Insubliminal
leaving our sight impaired
But its right
there
In plain view claim you
Pack a pistol
already but the missles are already aimed to
shoot
One push of a button and this whole
****** game is through
All of a sudden there's
mushroom clouds
Evacuate the crowd
It's too
late, it contaminates the (?)
The symptoms are
maliable contagious
Without protection its
inffecting all ages
Soon your body's going
through stages
All at once the machine
rages

Right now
(contaminate the
planet, do it)
Right now
(no time is better
than the present)
Right now
(we got to see
some homie make it)
Right now
(im tired of
this now)
Right now
(exterminate the
planet, do it)
Right now
(no time is better
than the present)
Right now
(we got to see
some homie make it)
Right now
(the time is
now)

You got to stand for something
