KRS-One — Think Bigger

(Intro) Gather round (oh yeah) Think bigger Think bigger (This is about life) Life (Real life) Real life Your life My life Real life (Verse 1) Young and strugglin' out there buggin' Let me sing a song for you This song ain't for everybody, this is for the chosen few Those that's born with purpose never worthless this is all for you You hearin' me at this moment 'cause the spirit is calling youSomethin' pressing inside revealing it's truth is calling you But if you don't understand the acronym Simonе brought to you The media will lead your mind to do things you don't want to do Likе dissin' your own heritage and the lineage that belongs to you This is what a colonists about, dissin' all of you The past, the present, the future, and what you gonna do It's not just about now, it's about tomorrow too You are the cultural foundation of those that will follow you Just like you model the past, the future gonna model you So what from this era are you tellin' the future it has to do? When the future looks back, will they really respect or laugh at you? These are the real questions that real life will be asking you But if you distracted by the temptations that they flashin' youYou won't see the opportunities that steady passin' you This is why despite despite their criticisms I bring the class to you Because culture ain't about now, it's about who comes after you (Chorus) Think bigger Think bigger Think love (Verse 2) Hear me on this second take KRS is never fake Go ahead get your dinner plate But let me now get somethin' straight Ain't nobody hatin' on you youngins how you do your do But you too young to see how these corporations are usin' youCulturally abusing you, pickin' and choosin' youProgrammin' your mind through the music lines you cruisin' to Think about the future you, the higher you, the super you Or will the future you turn out to only be the stupid you? Knowledge reigns supreme learn this theme it never goes away The culture keeper, the teacher, this what I'm supposed to say There's got to be a better way to hear our music every day B-boys gettin' blown away but comin' outside anyway We tried again outside in Cedar Park Power from a street light made the place dark But yo we didn't care, we turned it out I don't know if you understand what I'm talkin' about Remember Bronx River pullin' triggers countin' figures pourin' liquorLyric spitter shake and shiver glam and glitter The mic mixer I'm just a party ripper OJ vodka sipper Here's a little advice: think bigger (Chorus) Think bigger Think bigger Think bigger Think love Think peace Think life Think free Think bigger
