Positive Lyrics
Positive (Repeat)
(Verse 1)
From generation, to generation
Tales often told of the families right to win
Proud of what my sisters courage did for me
Though I don’t know why they tried to keep her from me
Say what people like, but they don’t know the full story
Thousands of years before their time
Read up on your history, whatever your nation
You see what it will do for your state of mind
(Pre-Chorus)
Can't you see
Its a part of you and me
Maybe you don’t know but I feel, yeah
Trying to take away the best of me
Oh! sing!
(Chorus)
Trying to take away the best
(What)
Trying to take away the best
Trying to take away the best
(Say what)
Trying to take away the best
Trying to take away the best
(What)
Trying to take away the best
Trying to take away the best
(Say what)
(Verse 2)
People with the power
You have taken our, self respect that’s undeniably true
These crimes will not pay, because now the people say
Return that which does not belong to you
Say what people like, but they don’t know the full story
Thousands of years before their time
But you can be sure, as the rich are too poor
They’ll be trying to wipe the glory from their minds
(Pre-Chorus)
Can't you see
Its a part of you and me
Maybe you don’t know but I feel, yeah
Trying to take away the best of me
Oh! Tell 'em now!
(Rap)
Let's start this part
On ??? this time to rise the art form
A way to raise ya, and stand apart from
The growing number of funky drummers
Who refuse to lose and then abuse the platform
Made outside of the lords of creation
Erasing mutations without explanation
But Omar comes in peace, not to preach
But to teach in each and every combination
From the rhythm of the Beat Generation
To the big bad beat of the Rhythm Nation
So take your place in outer space
And wait for the groove to improve your education
So take your place in outer space
And wait for the groove to improve your education
(Chorus)
Trying to take away the best
Trying to take away the best
(Don't take away the best)
Trying to take away the best
Trying to take away the best
(Don't take away the best)
Trying to take away the best
Trying to take away the best
(Don't take away the best)
Trying to take away the best
Trying to take away the best
(Don't take away the best)
