Tears Lyrics - Spiritual Minded - Krs One

At midday today, some Americans attended memorial services 

For victims of Tuesday's acts of terrorism. Thousands 

Gathered at Chicago's Daily Plaza. Hundreds more looked 

On from the windows of surrounding office buildings. 

Many waved flags, and traffic came to a complete standstill. 

On the rooftop of City Hall, which faces Daily Plaza, a 

Police sharpshooter watched the crowd, even as he saluted 

The flag. After a minute of silence, church bells rang." 

{Ain't no need in all the tears, oh no no, yeah yeah 

Yeah cause things will be better tomorrow} 

[Chorus x2] 

No need for tears, no need to cry 

No matter what we face, we shall get by 

When the problems you face are too much to bear 

Know I'll be there 

Hold that head up y'all, don't get fed up y'all 

C'mon let's get up y'all 

Make that bed up y'all, life is a set-up y'all 

Sadness comes from a lack of knowin, not knowin 

Where the one that you love is goin 

We all gonna reap what we all are sewin 

There is no death, just constant growin 

We can't stay here forever 

We all gotta go to a place we believe is better 

So why be sad, why be mad 

Now you can see it ain't about the cheddar 

It's all about the time that we spend together 

Not the rhyme or the crime or the Gucci sweater 

The house that's built on a rock can stand the weather 

Faith, can stand the weather 

But is your house, upon the rock 

Or is it on sand and about to drop 

Here is the question that you got to ask 

Do I live for today or do I live for the past? 

Think fast, but do not hurry 

Life is a class and we should not worry 

But tell me, how long you gonna ignore 

Tell me how long you gonna ignore God's law? 

How long can you really endure 

Livin like pimps, livin like whores 

The choice is yours, or really ours 

Think about this while you lay the flowers 

On the grave, uh, let's talk about how you behave, uh 

Do you come out the neighb' or out the cave? 

Better change your ways, we comin up on some stranger days 

[Chorus] 

Uhh, uhh 

Don't step where the danger lays or danger lies 

Open them EYES UP, better to RISE UP, WISE UP 

Raise your MINDS UP 

Look to the left, look to the right 

Pray in the day and the night 

Be prepared for the fight, not scared of the fight 

He's the way, the truth AND the light 

J to the E to the S to the U to the S 

You can remove the stress 

Yes, we do need you here 

Yes, we wanna be free from fear 

Yes, we wanna start seein clear 

Havin you here, not over there 

Lookin around sayin where, does anybody care? 

Yeah, I'll be there 

At the door, not at the war 

At Matthew 5:44 

"But I say, unto you 

Love your enemies, bless them that curse you 

Do good to them that hate you 

And pray for them which despitefully use you 

And persecute you" 

This goes for them terrorists too 

But them publicans, done put themSELVES up above again 

Lookin for blood again, hate no love again 

Got them soldiers runnin in, with a gun again 

With a ton of sin, in a holy war, how we gonna win? 

I think it's time for KRS-One again 

[Chorus: x2] 

The time is now, you gotta make your choice 

Which side are you on? Turn now to Matthew 5:46 

"For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? 

Do not even the publicans the same? 

And if ye salute your breddern only, what do ye more than others 

Do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect; 

Even as your FATHER which is in heaven, is perfect"
