For What It's Worth - Lyrics

Verse1: There's something happening here. What it is ain't exactly clear.
There's a man with a gun over there, telling me I've got to beware

Chorus: I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Verse 2: There's battle lines are being drawn. Nobodies right if everybody's wrong.
Young people speaking their minds, getting so much resistance from behind.

Hip Hop: For what it's worth, I searched verse for verse, through pages, I cursed the
sages words after we fell head first into the blaze. I prayed for rain, out from
my soul poured this refrain, so I chose to point my pen while most chose to
point the blame. Annointed new to this fast game, I hope to write rhymes, still
bless mics, still try to climb, not trying to live but live right. I grip my mic
tight and hold it close to God's light to show that I will always have my words
to fight.

For what it's worth, no matter how deep this verse gets, I still wrote and rehearsed it,
one man to take a stand to scratch your surface. So what's the purpose, if I confess to
object conscientiously, cuz' now I choke when pain was close to my scenery.
My home caught in a TV screen, I used to watch indifferently, but different I be
cuz' in the distance I see that too much blood lost in the soil will only spoil our seed.
Must be the victims prior to our victory.

Verse 3: Paranoia strikes deep. Into your life iit will creep. It starts when you're always afraid.
Step out of line, men come and take you away.
