Maybe One Day Lyrics

    [Grand Puba]
    Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
    One time as we do it like this, yeah
    Grand Puba, Common Sense

    [Common]
    Yeah, yeah, yeah
    It's all love y'all (3X) what you say?

    Intro/Chorus: all, Common

    [all] Maybe one day we can work it out
    Strive to understand what life's about
    All it seems to be is sadness and pain
    Blood like rain clogs urban drains
    [Com] When we gonna realize and make the change
    And take the blame, erase the shame
    Cause new millenium is knockin at your door
    The New World Order's what they got in store

    [Grand Puba]
    Now I can't stress this enough, life sure is rough
    You gotta go through a whole lotta shit
    Just for you to get a little bit
    Born into existence where your existence is non-existant
    but your persistance overcomes their resistance
    Your daily mechanism is your defense, whether it be
    past or present tense, don't be dense
    I'm droppin this with Common Sense (true indeed)
    As we linger on into the darkness
    Poisoned by society where high-anxiety is just one variety
    Hatin each other is another, brotha
    I mean I'm really true to the shit, my spit ain't just spit
    My duty is to save my people from all of this shit
    And if I can get somethin for doin that then I'm gon' get
    And I won't quit
    My ways and action manifest in my way of thinkin
    I just can't stand around and do nothin
    while my people sinkin
    I told you that I stay true
    And I gotta do, what I can do, when I can do, so

    Chorus

    [Common]
    Grand Pu...I'ma do....what I gotta do....what I can do
    It's one for all like Brand Nu-bian, feedin the multitudes
    Of five loads, dead men walkin with lost souls
    Some say the games are strange, our ways have been tribal
    Since the days of Kemet, now displayed on Bennett
    Revolution's like a pussy, I'm tryin to stay up in it
    And our music is a message, though some is afraid to send it
    I don't know much about the New World Order; I know I
    Got a new daughter, direction and protection I must provide for her
    The moral of the story I'm building...
    Like ODB say, "We for the children"
    Nike make a killin off us, we kill each other, it kills me to see that
    You take a life for gold, nigga did you really need that?
    We try to escape the mixtapes, rims and weed sack
    And to the new age, they say the women's gonna lead that, so

    Chorus

    [Pub] Oh say it ain't so
    [Com] It ain't so
    [Pub] My peoples at a all time low
    [Com] Double oh Pu'
    [Pub] Nowadays we doin anything for dough
    [Com] For the dough doe
    [Pub] Don't you know that knowledge is the note
    [Com] What?
    [Pub] Know the ledge, don't hit the edge
    The negativity pulls us down like gravity
    [Com] Yup
    [Pub] Devilish ways and actions poisons us like a cavity
    [Com] Yessir
    [Pub] As we send this one throughout our whole proximity
    [all] Grand Pu' and Common strive to come together

    [Common]
    In this era of prepaid calling cards
    I roll with squads called the Gods
    Ignorance is at large, struggles in our backyard
    I slapbox with life and see we wasn't that hard
    Long as you got God, even got Gramps off lah
    It's stray lies and bullets directed, to lead the village
    of lies disconnected like ghetto phones
    Fuck a search through a magazine for Better Homes
    It ain't gonna happen
    Til the devil's gone with the breeze
    and niggas get off they knees so...

    Chorus
