| Lyrics | I don't see things quite the same as I used to As I live my life, I've got just me to be true to When I find that I don't know about just what to do I turn and look within—to see what I should do Now I'm not sure what it takes to be hip A lot of people making music that to me ain't shit So I ask creation for rhymes for this jam Gimme lickle solo and I'll take the mic stand Love vibe, love vibe, love vibe, love vibe Love vibe, love vibe, love vibe, love vibe Yeah, as the earth spins into a brand new day I see the light on the horizon's not fading away Gonna shine from within, like a bright white sun No need to hide and no place to run Got the vibrations of the music bringing light to your mind So you can move and groove, and feel the beat of the time Sense the power in the air as it starts to move You get a real good feeling that you just can't lose Love vibe Contemplation time Love vibe Intuition time Love vibe Evolution time Love vibe Resolution time Free your mind, it's time for good times And let yourself move, it's a time to shine Spread your wings in the sky, feelin' good inside Breaking fool with no need to hide I got the music cuttin' through me Takin' control of my soul I can't hold back, I've got to let go You might also likeStand together (people come together now) It's about time (we've got to get together now) Stand together (people come together now) I said it's about time (we've got to get together now), come on Stand together (people come together now) I said it's about time (we've got to get together, y'all) I think we should stand together |
