Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Uh, your bad self
Help us break this down from off the shelf
Here's a music servin' you, so use it
Papa got a
Brand new funk
Get down
Party for your right
Huh, let's get it on like we said before
Say the brother's causin' trouble, hate to bust their bubble
'Cause we rumble from our lower level
To condition your condition, we're gonna do a song
That you never heard before
Make you all jump along to the education
Brothers gonna work it out
And stop chasin'
[Chorus]
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Work it out, brothers gonna work it out
Come on
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Work it out, brothers gonna work it out
You got it
What it takes
Go get it
Where you want it?
Go get it (Get involved)
'Cause the brothers in the street are willin' to work it out
Come on, y'all, let's gather up
[Verse 2]
So many of us in limbo
How to get it on, it's quite simple
Uh
Three stones from the sun
We need a piece of this rock
Our goal
Indestructible soul
Answers to this quizzin'
To the brothers in the streets
Schools
And the prisons
History shouldn't be a mystery
Our stories' real history
Not
'His' story
We gonna work it out one day
Till we all
Get paid
The right way, in full, no bull
Talkin', no walkin', drivin', arrivin' and stylin'
Tell 'em, soon you'll see what I'm talkin' 'bout
Yeah
'Cause one day, the brothers gonna work it out
[Chorus]
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Work it out, brothers gonna work it out
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Work it out, brothers gonna work it out
Let's go
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Work it out, brothers gonna work it out
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Work it out, brothers gonna work it out
You got it
What it takes
Go get it
Where you want it?
Go get it (Get involved)
'Cause the brothers in the street are willin' to work it out
Let's get it on (We are willing)
Let's get it on
Let's get it on (We are willing)
Let's get it on
Let's get it on
Let's get it on (We are willing)
Now we are ready if you are ready
Come on
Yo, drop the rhyme in overtime, G
[Verse 3]
In 1995, you'll twist to this
As you raise your fist to the music
United we stand, yes, divided we fall
Together we can stand tall
Brothers that try to work it out
They get mad, revolt, revise, realize
They're super bad
Small chance a smart brother's gonna be a victim of his own circumstance
Sabotaged, shell-shocked, rocked and
Ruled
Day in the life of a fool
Like I said before, to live it low
Life, take your time, time, yo, go (Slow)
Look at here, not a thing to fear
Brother to brother, not another as sincere
Teach a man how to be a father
To never tell a woman he can't bother
You can't say you don't know what I'm talkin' 'bout
But one day, brothers gonna work it out
On the strength, on the
[Chorus]
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Work it out, brothers gonna work it out
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Work it out, brothers gonna work it out
Come on
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Work it out, brothers gonna work it out
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Work it out, brothers gonna work it out
You got it
What it takes
Go get it
Where you want it?
Go get it (Get involved)
'Cause the brothers in the street are willin' to work it out
[Outro]
Let's get it on (We are willing)
Let's get it on
Let's get it on (We are willing)
Let's get it on
Let's get it on
Let's get it on (We are willing)
Now we are ready if you are ready
Come on
Huh
