Yes {echoed}
Chorus:
Positivity - yes
Have U had your plus sign 2day?
Positivity - yes
Do we mark U present or do we mark U late?
Is that a good man
Walking down the street with that money in his hand?
Is that a good man?
Why do U dog him?
If that was your father, tell me, would U dog him then?
Would U dog him?
CHORUS
Is that all your gold?
Where did it come from?
What did U have 2 do? (What did U have 2 do?)
Can U sleep nights?
Do U dream straight up or do U dream in W's?
CHORUS
(Yeah)
Na na na na na na, so slow
Positivity - yes
Na na na na na na, so slow
Can a boy who drops out of school at 13 years of age
Answer the Q of life and death when it slaps him in the face?
(Na na na na na na, so slow)
Who's 2 blame when he's got no place 2 go
And all he's got is the sense 2 know
That a life of crime will help him beat U in the race
Will help him beat U in the race
Positivity
CHORUS
Na na na na na na, so slow (Na na na na na, so slow)
CHORUS
(Say it)
(Yes)
(Ooh yes)
Na na na na na na, so slow (Say it again)
Na na na na na na, so slow (Na na na na na, so slow)
Positivity - yes
(Na na na na na na, so slow)
Wave your hand 4 positivity y'all!
All the boys and all the girls (All the boys, all the girls)
U are the new kings of the world!
Shall the court sing together?
"In every man's life there will be a hang-up
A whirlwind designed 2 slow U down
It cuts like a knife and tries 2 get in U
This Spooky Electric sound
Give up if U want 2 and all is lost
Spooky Electric will be your boss"
Call People Magazine, Rolling Stone
Call your next of kin, cuz your ass is gone
He got a 57 mag with the price tag still on the side - uh!
Cuzzin' when Spooky say dead, U better say died
Or U can fly high right by Spooky and all that he crawls 4
Spooky and all that he crawls 4
Don't kiss the beast
(Love & honesty, peace & harmony)
Positivity
Love & honesty, peace & harmony
Say hold on 2 your soul, U got a long way 2 go
Sho' nuff {x3}
Don't kiss the beast
Be superior at least
Hold on 2 your soul, y'all, court, sing!
Hold on 2 your soul, we got a long way 2 go
Some people ask me why always on the bright side
When there's so much going on down the other side
It's like I live in a bubble with no trouble
And problems don't exist
I chuckle and tell them that ain't the case at all
It goes way back to the time when I was very small
Not in mind but size and age my papa use to say
You can always look at the negative
But you should always live in the positive
So I try everyday to live that way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Some people live in what was and what they could have been
As opposed to living in a what is and how much they can
And be the first to complain about nothing in life going their way
The attitude is "that I can't do nothing 'bout"
And very happy with just breathing in and out
The ones that when you say "lets go make a difference"
They'll say "naw that's OK"
So I don't waste time on the trip side
'Cause I do know the real on the flipside
And I'm crystal clear everyday that's why I say, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When I see the morning
And the sun is smiling down upon me
I joy in the blessing
That still the ground is not above me
And for the people
That I can truly say do love me, I feel
Positivity, 'cause that's what life's meant to be
Positivity, 'cause this day did not have to be
Some ask me why I'm such an optimist
When it's more fashionable be a pessimist
From what's in seventy-five percent of what we read, hear and view
Well I use to have a friend named Minnie Riperton
Who use to always say when she was living
"Like fine wine I like seeing the glass of life as half full than half empty"
I'm saying sometimes life can't be rough
But never to the point of me saying I've had enough
Long as my heart beats I ain't giving up
That's why I say everyday
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When people ask me as an African American
What do I see for tomorrow in the human plan?
Is it possible for all the people of the world to co-exist?
I say unity is only as big as our vision
And if its narrow, try to expand beyond the horizon
But true leaders must guide us through the ills of society
That stands in our way
So if the road is to harmony, be with the call
But if its about discord, don't take the ride at all
'Cause the world vision I see is the one-we for everybody
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When I see the morning
And the sun is smiling down upon me
Just joy in the blessing
That still the ground is not above me
And for the people
That you can truly say do love you, do feel
Positivity, 'cause that's what life's meant to be
Positivity, and that's the energy the world needs
Positivity, 'cause that's what life means to me
Positivity, 'cause this day did not have to be
Positivity, 'cause that's what life's meant to be
Positivity, 'cause that's the energy the world needs
Positivity, 'cause that's what life's meant to be
Positivity, and this day did not have to be
Positivity, 'cause that's what life means to me
Positivity, and that's the energy the world needs
Positivity, 'cause that's what life's meant to be
You gotta keep it on the positive
Na, na, na...
Nowadays it's hard to make a livin but easy to make a killin 'cause
People walk around one just one itchy feelin
I feel nauseated from your evil drug dealin, bless feelin
The definition of top billin
It's ill the my vocabulary
Diggin your life style scary
No wonder why you carry a two, to retaliate
Tryin to annihilate
The one a two annihilate you
They got some dude just to get you bugged
Really y'all, this shit is all out of whack
You can go out at night yet you won't come back
And this verse that I'm kickin some might take it personal
And come out and get me, but worst of all
These rap fans are taking these shit serious
It ain't New York versus L.A.
'Cause really it's hip-hop, not a big ole' problem
Now let's see what we could do to solve them (Solve them...)
Na, na, na...
We gotta keep it on the positive (Positive...)
Na, na, na...
We must keep it on the positive (Posivive...)
Lucifer's got your little mind twisted
'Cause God once gave you the meaning of life and you missed it
You've been listed in the devil's books
Livin the life of crooks and hoes and in such and such
All that shit, that don't mean much
You got one hand on your gat while your genitals are being touched
Livin the life that's plushed and glamourus
Drunk and high with your little soul's crushed
Don't you know that life is a mirage
I keep myself sober so my soul is camouflaged
If the devil cannot see me tell me how can he attack me
If he can't grasp a hold tell me how can he try to snatch me
I ain't talking about the white man, the black man or a Jew man
'Cause the devil can exist in every human
Look how Biggie went out, and Tupac went out
And Martin, and Malcolm, and Kennedy, and ?Squeek?
And Adam, and Rene, and so on, and so on...
Na, na, na...
We gotta keep it on the positive (Positive...)
Na, na, na...
We gotta keep it on the positive (Posivive...)
Even though we got problems
We gotta find some way to solve 'em
I hope you come and follow me now
(Keep it on the positive)
Even though we got problems
I hope you find some way to solve 'em (Solve 'em...)
(Keep it on the positive)
P-O-S-I-T-I-V-I-T-Y (2x)
We're currently located over the Los Angeles scene
While you see a lot of niggas perpetrating like they're kings
With this so-called God complex
But when I see they mind they only see checks
So let's get our heads together
Let's form a foul weather
Proclaim against perpetrators
Well said, Alligator
Our realm, no perpetrator
A society choose the elevator
Of success by identity cross-fader
Complex thinking they're really much greater
Plain raw, harness all, maybe rough radar
Tough enough to perpetrate, I talk to you later
But wait, what about that midget brains
Unable to see reality too unreal
I'm sealed with mind, body and soul
Connected together, we tougher than leather
We much more than you think we are
We are the product of our on environment repent
With equality, plus durality
And taken all kind of posibilities (...bilities)
I sing the song from the soul
Let it rise from the tone
Let it rhythmically grow
Into it's own life
Let it become you
Then you become it
Once you become it everything will be infinite
Will be infinite, will be infinite, will be infinite...
We much more than you think we are
We are the product of our on environment repent
With equality, plus durality
And taken all kind of posibility
I sing the song from the soul
Let it rise from the tone
Let it rhythmically grow
Into it's own life
Let it become you
Then you become it
Once you become it everything will be infinite
[Guru]
Now is the chance to advance and get an outlook

a new image, and let's begin as
members who pledge to, look up ahead to
a beautiful world, though we've been led to
believe it will not be and, we still are seein

The rhyme I toss ya, it will be nourisihin
I must bring, ideals for better living see
Because I do believe in positivity
"Positive but never negative"
* DJ Premier cuts n scratches *
[Guru]
Weak is the clown, much weaker is the fool
I'll overrule to duel and to school
For reasons that are so deep, I don't need no cheap
people to identify, I just say hi and bye
Since I'm an optimist, I'll turn and walk with this
tape playing loudly, inside my headphones
MC's that crowd me, turn into headstones
Because I don't have time for, powerless minds or
suckers who suck, because I find more
interesting topics, you can not stop it
I drop it and rock it I shock it, that's how I'm livin B
I like to live my life with positivity
"Positive but never negative"
* DJ Premier cuts n scratches *

Havin nothin to lose, so much to gain

You don't want to know, you're so tired of complainin'
'Cos your nine to five ain't workin'
While your dreams, just seem to grow and grow
Nothing's clear, it's so confusin'
Intuition's left you, there's no one left to turn to
Until you hear a voice within your heart
Telling you which way to go, don't you know?
You have got to learn to please your mind, positively
Try and find a way to spend your time, in positivity
Spend the days here waiting and all your nights in wishin'
Seasons come and go
As you sleep the tide is risin'
One by one your dreams are drownin'
While you stare and watch the waters flow
Nothing's clear, it's so confusin'
Intuition's left you, there's no one left to turn to
Until you hear a voice within your heart
Telling you which way to go, don't you know?
You have got to learn to please your mind, positively
Try and find a way to spend your time, in positivity
Don't spend your days
(Don't spend your days)
Watching the way

Got to please your mind

You think out loud
Try to convince me that my dreams lie high out of reach
In the sky, in the clouds
I have to say, I think you're wrong
Why should I try to find a way to make me think and feel the same?
It's all about limiting your future
How comes this way?
What the fuck are we tryin' to say?
I plan to enjoy and achieve within my lifetime
And no amount of negativity will be enough to change me
This time I stand and I'm not alone
This is my future
This is my priority
It may take a long time
But I'll be risin' up
Don't mean I think I tuff
But it means I move on
Positively, positivity
Don't look but see
Yes hello it's me
Sir Positivity
So turn the mic gain up
Let's force another one
Should I grin and stay hopeful
When we both look to different lights
About what we perceive as high
It's not the same
It won't ever be the same
We're not the same
And we'll never be the same
Well I've been crowned the king of
Insensitivity
So put your thick skin on
Let's force another one
Should I grin and stay hopeful
When you're here with your eyes half-closed
But that tired routine gets old
It's not the same
It won't ever be the same
It's not the same
It won't ever be the same
We're not the same
We won't ever be the same
Respect the fact
That I feel it everyday
It's not the same
It won't ever be the same
We're not the same
And will never be the same
It's not the same
It won't ever be the same
Respect the fact
Anytime I need company I just pick up the phone
Anytime I want a little peace i'm just fine on my own
If I wanna go out at night and really have a ball
It's gonna be me makes that decision it's my call
Wake up, all my girls sing with me (sing)
Stand up, come along put your feet down (dance)

And when they need a lot of love and care they can depend on me

'cause I won't be a fool who's thinking he will stay around
Wake up, all my girls sing with me (sing)
Stand up, come along put your feet down (dance)
