Maybe One Day Lyrics - Brand Nubian

One to the, to the two 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

One time as we do it like this, yeah 

Grand Puba, common sense 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

It's all love y'all, it's all love y'all 

It's all love y'all, what you say? 

Nigga 

Maybe one day we can work it out 

Strive to understand what life's about 

All it seems to be is sadness and pain 

Blood like rain clogs urban drains 

When we gonna realize and make the change 

And take the blame, erase the shame 

'Cause new millennium is knockin' at your door 

The new world order's what they got in store 

Now I can't stress this enough, life sure is rough 

You gotta go through a whole lotta shit just for you to get a little bit 

Born into existence where your existence is non-existent 

But your persistence overcomes their resistance 

Your daily mechanism is your defense 

Whether it be past or present tense, don't be dense 

I'm droppin' this with common sense as we linger on into the darkness 

Poisoned by society where high-anxiety is just one variety 

Hatin' each other is another, brotha 

I mean I'm really true to the shit, my spit ain't just spit 

My duty is to save my people from all of this shit 

And if I can get somethin' for doin' that then I'm gon' get and I won't quit 

My ways and action manifest in my way of thinkin' 

I just can't stand around and do nothin' 

While my people sinkin', I told you that I stay true 

And I gotta do, what I can do, when I can do 

So maybe one day we can work it out 

Strive to understand what life's about 

All it seems to be is sadness and pain 

Blood like rain clogs urban drains 

When we gonna realize and make the change 

And take the blame, erase the shame 

'Cause new millennium is knockin' at your door 

The new world order's what they got in store 

Grand Pu, I'ma do, what I gotta do, when I can do 

It's one for all like Brand Nubian, feedin' the multitudes 

Of five loaves, dead men walkin' with lost souls 

Some say the games are strange, our ways have been tribal 

Since the days of Kemet, now displayed on Bennett 

Revolution's like a pussy, I'm tryin' to stay up in it 

And our music is a message, though some is afraid to send it 

I don't know much about the new world order 

II know I got a new daughter, direction and protection 

I must provide for her, the moral of the story I'm building 

Like O D B say, "We for the children" 

Nike make a killin' off us, we kill each other, it kills me to see that 

You take a life for gold, nigga did you really need that? 

We try to escape the mix tapes, rims and weed sack 

And to the new age, they say the women's gonna lead that, so 

Maybe one day we can work it out 

Strive to understand what life's about 

All it seems to be is sadness and pain 

Blood like rain clogs urban drains 

When we gonna realize and make the change 

And take the blame, erase the shame 

'Cause new millennium is knockin' at your door 

The new world order's what they got in store 

Oh say it ain't so 

It ain't so 

My peoples at a all time low 

Double oh Pu' 

Nowadays we doin' anything for dough 

For the dough doe 

Don't you know that knowledge is the note 

What? 

Know the ledge, don't hit the edge 

The negativity pulls us down like gravity 

Yup 

Devilish ways and actions poisons us like a cavity 

Yes sir 

As we send this one throughout our whole proximity 

Grand Pu' and common strive to come together 

In this era of prepaid calling cards, I roll with squads called the Gods 

Ignorance is at large, struggles in our backyard 

I slap box with life and see we wasn't that hard 

Long as you got God, even got gramps off lah 

It's stray lies and bullets directed, to lead the village 

Of lies disconnected like ghetto phones 

Fuck a search through a magazine for better homes 

It ain't gonna happen till the devil's gone with the breeze 

And niggas get off they knees so 

Maybe one day we can work it out 

Strive to understand what life's about 

All it seems to be is sadness and pain 

Blood like rain clogs urban drains 

When we gonna realize and make the change 

And take the blame, erase the shame 

'Cause new millennium is knockin' at your door 

The new world order's what they got in store 

Black folk come on 

Black people come on, come on, oh, oh yeah 

Black people come on, I said 

Black folk come on 

Black people come on 

Black people come on 

Black people come on, I said 

Black folk come on
