BOA
I think we need to consider
That the hope of the black community
Is imbedded in the restoration of the family
Gender feuds are futile, and only lead to further disfunction
A strong community is not possible
Without strong families
Because the attributes, the values
And characteristics of the family
Are transferred to the community
Yes, huh. Yes, huh. Yes, huh
Yes, huh. Yes, huh. Yes, huh
Yes, huh. Yes, huh
Yes, huh. Yes, huh. Yeh, huuum
Seh'seh
Let me know
If you 'bout it and you down to ride, syeh
I been down and out in bondage
And we bonded, ahhhr
This ain't Bonnie Clyde
Our crime would be dividing, eh-yea
Ain't too proud to be beside you
When the sirens, ay
Let me know
If you 'bout it, when you down to ride, ay
I been down and out in bondage
And we bonded, ahh hey
It ain't Bonnie Clyde
Our crime would be dividing, eh
Ain't too proud to be beside you
When the sirens blaze
I'd lay oozing
All to let you sing
All that they do seems to
Fuel you
Yeah
Them killas bitter we don' killed the cycle
The psychology was capsizing the boat
We were too divided to fight it, heh
You and I reunited is vibrant
And clearer, purified
It's a Brita in the fire
So we thrive in the heat
Under pressure, under siege
I'm your hitta, you're my hitta
I'm your dealer, you deliver
What we need fo' we rise
We a tide fo' we rise
Let me know
If you 'bout it and you down to ride, heh
I been down and out in bondage
And we bonded, aah-huh
This ain't Bonnie Clyde
Our crime would be dividing, ay-huh
Ain't too proud to be beside you
When the sirens blaze
I'd lay oozing
All to let you sing
All that they do seems to
Fuel you
I'd lay oozing
All to let you sing
All that they do seems to
Fuel you
(Ooooh)

Fathers and mothers together
Formulate the basic structure of any viable society
The family is the cornerstone
Of all resilient communities
That the hope of the black community
Is imbedded in the restoration of the family
Gender feuds are futile, and only lead to further disfunction
A strong community is not possible
Without strong families
Because the attributes, the values
And characteristics of the family
Are transferred to the community
Yes, huh. Yes, huh. Yes, huh
Yes, huh. Yes, huh. Yes, huh
Yes, huh. Yes, huh
Yes, huh. Yes, huh. Yeh, huuum
