Keep your dignity
Be loyal and have faith
Cause the world is so crazy
Destructions, Resurrection
Can you tell me what that mean?
Livin in the world
Like a lion in a cage
Roar, Roar all in my face

It’s time for a change
I said it’s time for a change
Rise up, Line up
Straighten up today
For the day is soon at dusk
Be right
Get right
For it’s too late
Smile
Have faith
Stop having dirty mouths
Nasty lil ways
Be right
Get right
In this crazy world today
