Lyrics

You gotta, you gotta, you gotta

You gotta keep it on the positive

Nowadays, it's hard to make a livin'

But easy to make a killin' 'cause

People walk around with just one itchy feelin'

I feel nauseated from your evil drug dealin', bless feelin'

The definition of top billin'

It's illin' my vocabulary

Dig it, your lifestyle scary

No wonder why you carry a two to retaliate

Tryin' to annihilate, they want to annihilate you

They got some dude just to get you bugged

Really y'all, this shit is all out of whack

You can't go out at night yet, and you won't come back

(That's right)

And this verse that I'm kickin' someone might take it personal

And come out and get me, but worst of all

These rap fans are taking this shit serious (No doubt)

It ain't New York versus L.A.

'Cause really it's hip-hop with a big ol' problem

Now, let's see what we could do to solve 'em

(Solve 'em, solve 'em, solve 'em, solve 'em, solve 'em)

We gotta keep it on the positive

(Positive, positive)

We must keep it on the positive

(Positive, positive)

Lucifer's got your little mind twisted

'Cause God once gave you the meaning of life and you missed it

You've enlisted 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 plush and glamorous

Drunk and high with your little soul's crushed, hey

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 2Pac went out

(Gone, just gone)

And Martin, and Malcolm, and Kennedy, and Squeak

And Adam, and Rene, and so on, and so on, and so on

And so on, and so on, and so on, and so on

We gotta keep it on the positive

(Positive, positive)

We gotta keep it on the positive

(Positive, positive)

Even though we got problems

We gotta find some way to solve 'em

I hope you come and follow me now

(Follow me now, follow me now)

(Keep it on the positive)

Even though we got problems

I hope you find some way to solve 'em

(Solve 'em, solve 'em, solve 'em, solve 'em)

We gotta keep it on the positive

P-O-S-I-T-I-V-I-T-Y

P-O-S-I-T-I-V-I-T-Y

We're currently located over Los Angeles scene

While you see a lot of **** perpetrating like they're kings

(Yeah, yeah)

With this so-called God complex (That's right)

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

Let 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? (Yeah)

I'm sealed with mind, body and soul

Connected together, we tougher than leather

We much more than you think we are

(Uh, yeah)

We are the product of our own environment repent

With equality, plus duality

And taken all kind of possibilities, 'bilities

I sing the song from the soul (Soul)

Let it rise from the tone

Let it rhythmically grow (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

(For me, for me)

We much more than you think we are

We are the product of our own environment repent

(Uh, environment repent)

With equality, plus duality

Mainly we present positivity (Positivity)

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 (Yeah)

Will be infinite, will be infinite, will be infinite

Will be infinite
