Right Now Lyrics - Nappy Roots

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
