The Last Trumpet

[Intro: Sample]
Lamentations, lamentations, lamentations worldwide

[Hook]
Watch out (repeated)

[Verse 1: Lyrics Born, Lateef the Truthspeaker & Both]
In the beginning men and women had an obligation to their children
Then there was a real and true necessity in need for building
There was still the discipline and will proliferate the lineage
Matters of the spirit, mind, and body taken serious
But the way that we became what we became
Somebody please explain
Well we could tell you if you're curious
Those that reign got the masses in chains
And their minds enslaved
And that's the part that makes me furious

[Hook]
Watch out (repeated)

'Cause there definitely ain't no info readily available
To the general lay-people so let me know
'Cause there definitely ain't no info readily available
To the general lay-people so let me know

[Verse 2: Lyrics Born, Lateef the Truthspeaker & Both]
It's easily this multimedia crews that feed you to the neediest
It's the greediest trying to cheat us out of our God given right
To a quality education, minimal opportunities available
Limited occupations, we are not given a choice
Or given a voice within a political system, pimped and gangsta'd out
Wherein the people are the victim sheep being lead about
While the followers and patrons of any faith outside the mainstream
All being branded, falsely painted as endangering the way things work
And the way things are remain
I can't believe that things ain't worse
When all the wicked seeds we've sown have grown
And poisoned all the Earth
It serves us right
Can't really act surprised when the harvest has no worth
The curse that lurks around the corner
Is the product of our work

[Hook]
Watch out (repeated)

[Verse 3: Lyrics Born, Lateef the Truthspeaker & Both]
(Right now)
The holy war's growing, opposing forces pony up
The origins of which have been historically ignored
(Right now)
Our foreign policy is meddling in some democracy
Upholding an aristocracy of secret terrorist cells
(Right now)
The global poverty that we accept so commonly
Turns people into property one step away from hell
(Right now)
Healthcare battles, bioengineering
For the worldwide scare of the plague that we're fearing
(Right now)
They have the right to put your live under surveillance
(Right now)
They got the right to lock us up, we don't obey 'em
(Right now)
Modern education don't prepare the youth
(Right now, right now)
Do what you gotta do
(Right now)
There's people shooting at people that's throwing stones
(Right now)
There's a movement of people across the globe
(Right now)
Right now is where we're at
What goes around comes around
Time for action before the last trumpet sounds

[Hook]
Watch out (repeated)

[Verse 4: Lyrics Born, Lateef the Truthspeaker & Both]
Opposing forces pony up for a cause so glorious
But he who stands alone with justice none touches
(Right now)
The only option we can profit from is movement towards the positive progressive thought that's rooted up in consciousness
(Right now)
Grassroots run deep
Troops do diffuse confusion stewed by rude groups loose
(Right now)
We can benefit if we can pool our energy collectively
Project it in a direction used effectively
(Right now)
We have the opportunity for self-improvement
(Right now)
We can reinforce to strength of family unit
(Right now)
Our community, it must support the youth
(Right now, right now)
Do what you gotta do
(Right now)
There's people lookin' for people with common goals
(Right now)
There's a movement of unity across the globe
(Right now)
Right now is where we're at
What goes around comes around
Time for action before the last trumpet sounds
