GATHER ROUND (feat. LOLLY J)

Hmm One time for your Mind Two times for your Soul Gather Round, do you hear what I Say? Bare witness to a new sound, do you hear what I Say? N.O.VATA's putting it down, do you hear what I Say? Go spread the news through your town, do you hear what I Say? On a mission driven by vision, do you hear what I Say? This is Divine Intervention, do you hear what I Say? I Say I Say I Say the game needs to be changed Like dirty diapers on babies, emcees are full of shit Plaguing the industry consistently making me sick With feeble flows, everybody wants to be a G But y'all ain't real, you're fooling them but never me I speak directly to whoever that it may concern If you're offended stand in line I Say, and wait your turn One by one you shall be burned N.O.VATA is hot to death When will you niggas learn I put ashes in urns These are terms, accommodate or be slaughtered That's your fate if you don't repudiate the current rap order We must alter the state of minds our youth We are blind to this T.R.U.T.H On the grind trying to shine but it's useless If we leave nothing behind for them to find and give them the strength to climb y'all That why I do this Kevin, DiDi and Rashad, my living proof The reason I'm in this booth I Say this one is for Y'all During times of uncertainty Know that you three have certainly given me purpose Put into each verse my All Gather Around Gather Round, do you hear what I Say? Bare witness to a new sound, do you hear what I Say? N.O.VATA's putting it down, do you hear what I Say? Go spread the news through your town, do you hear what I Say? On a mission driven by vision, do your hear what I Say? This is Divine Intervention, do your hear what I Say? Together forever me and my Pad and Pen The baddest men can't tear us apart Those who will try will be denied then found But where are their hearts? That part I must discard, how dare you try to test our Love? Can't understand the strength was unified from Up Above A Divine Plan for a dying man to become a Divine Man Leave something here in the atmosphere Exceeding my timespan Speak about a change for the better in this world of madness Bring pride and joy to the minds of those who live in sadness Tell our children its not all about killing, stealing, drug dealing Ice grilling, peeling out cars, chilling in bars Promiscuous living, out of touch with their feelings Living their lives in lies Become someone the Most High and our Ancestors despise I hope its not too late when you finally see it The children are our future So won't you let them be it Stop influencing them with our negativities I'm sure they can see how it is They'll them how it should be Gather Round, do you hear what I Say? Bare witness to a new sound, do you hear what I Say? N.O.VATA's putting it down, do you hear what I Say? Go spread the news through your town, do you hear what I Say? On a mission driven by vision, do your hear what I Say? This is Divine Intervention, do your hear what I Say? If freedom is education Education of Self is Freedom As long they keep us ignorant, then they know we can't beat them PAC said be Never Ignorant and Get Goals Acomplished We fail to plan and execute, fate of our future is Ours Right now we stuck in Darkness Lost and looking for Light We're enlightened but frightened of it Now you know that ain't right Must make our Minds up to fight The forces causing us pain Free your Mind and we will see That it's the key to them chains Unlocking of brains is what oppressors fearing the most Kill off prophets, we resurrect to spread the message like ghost We're so close is what I'm saying Just a matter of time Before we All learn to free our Minds Now everybody come on This is life that we must live In this world we raise our kids Do you want to have them grow up? Thinking color's how we know them? Thinking violence is the way? To rob and steal is how we get paid? Having babies while their still one? Dressing too grown while their still young? We've got to raise them right at home So they're good people when they're grown Trust in God, he'll lead the way Do you hear what I Say?
