Readjustment Lyrics - Singles - Afu-ra

[Man's voice] 

The end...justifies the means 

Two-two-two wrongs...make, a right 

I-I should come first, in this nation 

[Q] 

You gotta readjust the means 

I'll tell you what I mean 

Sometimes you gotta work it out 

Sometimes you gotta figure it out 

You gotta readjust the means 

I'll tell you what I mean 

Sometimes you gotta work it out 

Sometimes you gotta figure it out 

Yeah, yeah...yeah 

[Afu-Ra] 

I have so many questions, guessin' what life's about 

Usin' seven of my nine lives, figurin' out 

I'm goin' through it day to day 

Or should I say: maze to maze? 

I know that jewels light the way, listen 

There's too many shades of grey, tryin' to stay, right 

Peripheral vision, is seekin' out my sunlight 

I know that love is love, and hate is hate 

Twenty-seven years of tribulation marking my case 

Yeah, I guess I'm stressing my case 

There's only one thing I'm promised in life 

That's my fate 

Born to set the pace while I'm racin' the race 

I know it's hard work, that's why I'm holdin' the ace 

As I look to jump, up on that righteous path 

I got angels on one shoulder, demons on the other half 

A mirror face to face, surveying my landscape 

All the while I be singing this space 

[Q] 

You gotta readjust the means 

I'll tell you what I mean 

Sometimes you gotta work it out 

Sometimes you gotta figure it out 

You gotta readjust the means 

I'll tell you what I mean 

Sometimes you gotta work it out 

Sometimes you gotta figure it out 

Yeah, yeah...yeah 

[Afu-Ra] 

As we haze through the haze of enslavement 

While the sweat's beatin millions of feet pound on the pavement 

I know it's nine to five, or five to nine 

Forget about the thoughts that I'm wastin' my time 

Just use the tutelage, of your legendary fore-fathers 

'cause right now, we now the struggle is ours 

It's not too complicated, just combinations of pulling our resources 

Of our sisters and our brothers 

Who be a alike, that's a little insight 

The strength be coming in numbers it's like dynamite 

No riddle right, spit it right, about some real life 

And are we really rich, at peace and settled? 

When everyday homeless people peddle for nickels 

While Easy Mo Bee strikin' a chord 

Of this hip-hop oracle, desires for life 

And what? You know what I'm coming to 

It's just my point of view 

[Q] 

You gotta readjust the means 

I'll tell you what I mean 

Sometimes you gotta work it out 

Sometimes you gotta figure it out 

You gotta readjust the means 

I'll tell you what I mean 

Sometimes you gotta work it out 

Sometimes you gotta figure it out 

Yeah, yeah...yeah yeah yeah (reverbs) 

[Afu-Ra] 

And as we realise life, and what? 

We gotta suck it in 

And are we droppin' some knowledge, or are we frontin' an'? 

Your course in life, no matter how you rub it in 

There's so many roads, either you strugglin' or bubblin' 

[Q] 

You gotta readjust the means 

I'll tell you what I mean 

Sometimes you gotta work it out 

Sometimes you gotta figure it out 

You gotta readjust the means 

I'll tell you what I mean 

Sometimes you gotta work it out 

Sometimes you gotta figure it out 

You gotta readjust the means 

I'll tell you what I mean 

Sometimes you gotta work it out 

Sometimes you gotta figure it out 

You gotta readjust the means 

Tell me what I mean 

Sometimes you gotta work it out 

Sometimes you gotta figure it out 

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah 

Oh oh
