Shake it, shake it
The time has come to break it
Anyway you make it, it's goin' down
People gather 'round for the man above
We're goin' down, down with hate and up with love
Can you understand what's the plan
Spread some love all across this land
What's the caper, spread the truth
Read it in the papers about the youth
Ya can't crumble and break from what somebody else thinks
Be tougher than that, lighten up your act
Let's talk about it, before it's too late
Don't push it to the side so that it can hide
What's done in the dark needs come to light
A heart full of hate's gonna waste a life
Represent for the positive, no prejudice is the way to live
You gotta free your mind, take your time
Put your hand in mine
'Cause it's a brand new day
The time has come to break it
Anyway you make it, it's goin' down
People gather 'round for the man above
We're goin' down, down with hate and up with love
Can you understand what's the plan
Spread some love all across this land
What's the caper, spread the truth
Read it in the papers about the youth
Ya can't crumble and break from what somebody else thinks
Be tougher than that, lighten up your act
Let's talk about it, before it's too late
Don't push it to the side so that it can hide
What's done in the dark needs come to light
A heart full of hate's gonna waste a life
Represent for the positive, no prejudice is the way to live
You gotta free your mind, take your time
Put your hand in mine
'Cause it's a brand new day
