America is essentially a dream a dream as yet unfulfilled
It is a dream of a land where men of all races
of all nationalities and of all creeds
can live together as brothers
We hold these truths to be self-evident
that all men are created equal
Here we go
On the news bad news is all the news
you`ll ever see pity pity
The rich gettin richer while the poor
still live in poverty ain`t it a shame
I don`t understand why you can`t lend a helping hand
to another man who is your brother man
Times must change now here`s the plan
Let`s make this land a better land
We`ve gotta make this land a better land
I know we can make
In the world in which we live
Oh uh-oh excuse me yo man you stepped on my foot
And for that you feel a brother`s life should be took
Don`t be ridiculous come on and get with this
movement for improvement together we`ll get rid of this
set back and in fact the knowledge that we lack
we`ll gain back and retrack the steps that we lost back
when times were hard but things are gettin better
They said when it`s cold one should wear a sweater
Crack a substance smoked by the idiots
Sold by the thoughtless allowed by the government
Those who speak politically it`s all trickery
I don`t get with fools and fools they can`t get with me
Well well well looka here guess what happene
A fight at a concert and they blamed it on rapping
Don`t you have anything else better to do
than to diss rap and the things that we d
Make it a better land
We`ve gotta make this land a better land
I know we can make
In the world in which we live
We`ve gotta make this land a better land
Take you on a Heavy D tour
We`ve gotta make this world a better world
Take you on a Heavy D tour
We`ve gotta make this land a better land
Take you on a Heavy D tour
We`ve gotta make this world a better world
Take you on a Heavy D tour
Each night before I sleep on my knees I pray
to God to see me through the very next day
Although I often wonder why our parents they cry
The situation in society brings tears to their eyes
Little kids chew your bubblegum go on and have your fun
Stay in school don`t be a fool and you will overcome
Ah A new President to run the residence
That`s who you voted for was it an accident
When you see me don`t diss me just wish me good luck
It`s you that I`m here for without you I would be stuck
So when I`m in town don`t put me down give me a pound
I`m not a ruler or a king not tryin to wear a crown
You`re goin too fast slow down or soon you will
find yourself appearin at your very own funeral
You caught a bad hand
Let`s make this land a better land
We`ve gotta make this land a better land
I know we can make
In the world in which we live
