  • Open up my mind with these spoken words
    Let this music heal like an overture
    She's the only one, one, one, yeah, yeah
    And so I roll with her, ooh
    That's how it's supposed to be
    Living life with loved ones close to me
    Shh, ah, this is the remedy
    And I got the recipe, I don't need no Hennessy
    Yeah, it's been nine months now
    Haven't had a drink and I'm starting to see clear now
    I'm putting all my fears down
    I can hear the cheers now
    Seeing peace signs when I look around

    Hey, young homie what you trippin' on
    Looking at life, like how did I get it wrong
    Life's too short, gotta live it long
    To my brothers and sisters, when will we get along
    Hey, young homie what you trippin' on
    Looking at life, like how did I get it wrong
    Life's too short, gotta live it long
    To my brothers and sisters when will we get along

    Open up your eyes, look around
    Homie, can you see how it's going down?
    Brothers locked up, sisters knocked up
    If you wanna build your love up, put your hate down
    Ooh, that's the only way to live
    Turnin' negatives to positives
    "It's gonna be alright" Bob Marley said
    Fuck the dumb shit, keep it movin', that's what time it is

    Hey, young homie what you trippin' on
    Looking at life, like how did I get it wrong
    Life's too short, gotta live it long
    To my brothers and sisters, when will we get along
    Hey, young homie what you trippin' on
    Looking at life, like how did I get it wrong
    Life's too short, gotta live it long
    To my brothers and sisters, when will we get along

    Give peace to the war in the streets
    Give peace to the evil that creeps, yeah
    I just ride, put my hand to the sky
    Live life like I'm never gon' die
    See we be fighting and fussing over nothing
    So much destruction, looking like puppets
    Combusting like nothing, now listen,
    It takes education, to change your reputation
    From bad to good, you're gettin' better now you're elevating
    They be singing, family's hanging, everybody's chillin'
    Not gonna stop this, living on the feeling
    Man this is the real thing, tell me can you feel me
    Wait 'til they drop this, dancing on the ceiling

    Hey, young homie what you trippin' on
    Ah, what you really trippin' on
    Life's too short, gotta live it long
    To my brothers and sisters when will we get along
    Hey, young homie what you trippin' on
    Looking at life, like how did I get it wrong
    Life's too short, gotta live it long
    To my brothers and sisters when will we get along
