Lyrics

"Y3K Anthem" (Lyrics to the edited version)

Phaze One:
There's a war goin on outside (for real)....at
nighttime I could hear the earth cry...

hook (Natalia):
TRYING HARD TO SEE TOMORROW
DAYS GONE BY WE'VE MADE IT FAR, THOUGH
NEVER TURN BACK - WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
THE MILLENNIUM HAS COME AND GONE
THE FUTURE AIN'T SO CLEAR
COME AND GONE & GUESS WHAT- WE'RE STILL HERE

Rhyme Minister:
Wanna test this lyrical giant? yo come try it
check the science- my mic appliance is Y2K compliant
what's on the itinerary for the new millennium?
what's gonna happen to your IBM & Pentium?
Entering a new period, a mysterious day to face
Is this really gonna lay to waste the world's
database?
Probably not but if it does- who the hell cares?
If that ain't gonna stop you, then let me get a Hell
Yeah
Let me remind you before the world became
computerized,
machines called human mind's are what we utilized
to built it up in the 1st place - that's why we'll
persevere
Our purpose here's to shine even in the worst severe
conditions
listen, hear it the human spirit will break through
You control fate so shape the world, don't let it
shape you.
Stay true to your goals & you'll see 'em, Carpe Diem
Seize the day, I'll see you all in Y3K

hook (Natalia):
TRYING HARD TO SEE TOMORROW
DAYS GONE BY WE'VE MADE IT FAR, THOUGH
NEVER TURN BACK - WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
THE MILLENNIUM HAS COME AND GONE
THE FUTURE AIN'T SO CLEAR
COME AND GONE & GUESS WHAT- WE'RE STILL HERE

Cyphapoetics:
Sand shifts through the hour glass, intangible like
the past
inevitably, dust turns to dust: ash to ash
With steadfast devotion
Perpetual like Universal motion, I inscribe the truth
seldom spoken
2,000 years of dries blood, sweat & tears - the seal
of fate remains unbroken
Wrote in rough draft of approaching last days- Signs
of the times, all the so called plagues
Juvenile cats pushin wigs back at recess- Ku Klux Klan
in New York handin out leaflets
slaughter of innocents from Jasper to the Balkans- all
to often, endin in eulogies and coffins
scoffin at the prophesies, instead of buildin a
foundation for our unborn seeds
Holdin the future in their palms mimicking our deeds
I clutch my prayer beads tight envisioning the future
centuries

Mad Maxx:
As the worldwide state of mind parallels to cynical
I simply stimulate my stamina by seeking lyrical
perfection in rhymes, the new millennium has arrived
it's like when the beat breaks - re-start clean slate
do over - it'll be better this time around
more knowledge to demolish all garbage that surrounds
us the people, now it's 2-thou', evils eager to excel
but we shall hold our ground

hook (Natalia):
TRYING HARD TO SEE TOMORROW
DAYS GONE BY WE'VE MADE IT FAR, THOUGH
NEVER TURN BACK - WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
THE MILLENNIUM HAS COME AND GONE
THE FUTURE AIN'T SO CLEAR
COME AND GONE & GUESS WHAT- WE'RE STILL HERE

outro:
One Love... (ayo it's all love) , One Heart....(ayo
it's all love)
