Lyrics:
It's Up To You
Oh Oh Oh-oh-oh-oh
(oh oh - oh oh -oh)
If your mind's going crazy - full of confusion (oh oh)
And the voices you hear make you more disillusioned (yeah yeah)
You wanna do somethin' about the state of the nation
But you best be keepin' a closer eye on your own situation
Everybody's hustlin' to take their piece
But sell it somewhere else you're gettin' none from me
They call you on the phone; they put it in your mail
My conscience isn't for sale
CHORUS:
It's up to you - you must decide
It's up to you - to do what's right
It's up to you - to take your stand
It's up to you to be your own woman or man
Oh, slow down, slow down
Don't cha see-ee-ee, take a look around
You know the difference between right and wrong
Remember what your mama taught you when you were young
(this is what Mama said)
Never tell a lie - Look each other in the eye
Read the Good Book every night
CHORUS
