[Intro: Mykel]
~#**************#~
Where theres life there is water
~#**************#~
We depend on Mama Nature
~#**************#~
Theres a message for tomorrow
~#**************#~
Everything connects to you
~#**************#~
Some say soon it will be over
~#**************#~
You can see it in the weather
~#**************#~
Out of tune with Mama Nature
~#**************#~
What you do comes back to you
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Mykel]
~#**************#~
Were not alone
~#**************#~
Were not alone
~#**************#~
Were not alone
~#**************#~
Were not alone
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Nas]
~#**************#~
Uhh, uhh
~#**************#~
Confucius, Confucius, Sigmund Freud
~#**************#~
And Farad Muhammad, is it evolution or God?
~#**************#~
Searching for the truth is a threat
~#**************#~
Seems the closer we get to the truth State Troopers or Feds
~#**************#~
Come out to silence you, my house in Malibu probably tapped
~#**************#~
‘Cause living next door to Demi Moore, plus Im black
~#**************#~
Plus I want vengeance for the poor whos attacked daily
~#**************#~
Patriot Act never scared me
~#**************#~
Jake in the Taurus, sticky in the jar-as
~#**************#~
Niggas Im with got warrants
~#**************#~
Americas browning, 20 years from now every townll be brown and Latin
~#**************#~
An African looking Manhattan
~#**************#~
Ima tell you what I seen with my three eyes
~#**************#~
Word to me, not a hoax back in 99
~#**************#~
A spacecraft in the skyline
~#**************#~
In L.A. in daytime, ask Horse if Im lying
~#**************#~
[Bridge 1: Mykel]
~#**************#~
Every mother every father
~#**************#~
Raise your sons and your daughters
~#**************#~
With respect and with honor
~#**************#~
From the seed comes a fruit
~#**************#~
Its an unbroken circle
~#**************#~
All of life is universal
~#**************#~
And were all in the struggle
~#**************#~
If I know one thing is true
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Mykel]
~#**************#~
Were not alone
~#**************#~
Were not alone
~#**************#~
Were not alone
~#**************#~
Were not alone
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Nas]
~#**************#~
Evidence remains in debate
~#**************#~
Documents of our own Air Force base
~#**************#~
Additional terrestrial information
~#**************#~
Other planets with life population, my observation
~#**************#~
Scientists study pictures of a flying disk
~#**************#~
Right on earth anthropologists are finding shit
~#**************#~
Visitors probably live with us, they can mimic us
~#**************#~
Its sort of what were seeing in the cinemas
~#**************#~
[Bridge 2: Mykel]
~#**************#~
Take a look in the mirror
~#**************#~
And see the bigger picture
~#**************#~
Its good to be alive
~#**************#~
(Its good to be alive)
~#**************#~
Nobody is an island
~#**************#~
We are part of an environment
~#**************#~
Only way were gon survive
~#**************#~
Is if we harmonize
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Mykel]
~#**************#~
Were not alone
~#**************#~
Were not alone
~#**************#~
Were not alone
~#**************#~
Were not alone
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Nas]
~#**************#~
Reginald Lewis, the black billionaire
~#**************#~
Before Oprah, Bob Johnson, howd he disappear?
~#**************#~
Conspiracy theories, UFOs in the air
~#**************#~
Ive seen it with my own two eyes, and I swear
~#**************#~
Like Warren Buffet, real money Im just trying to touch it
~#**************#~
The diamond encrusted shit, live illustrious
~#**************#~
‘Cause we was deprived of it, suffered
~#**************#~
Now we pop to prove anythings possible
~#**************#~
My pimp strut was invented when they whipped us
~#**************#~
Now we diddy bop just to show you that our strengths up
~#**************#~
Just when niggas bout to see they cut
~#**************#~
Global warming about to burn us up
~#**************#~
Niggas never really seen paper in this world
~#**************#~
American blacks, the teenager of this world
~#**************#~
Give us 20 more years to grow up, already geniuses
~#**************#~
What I mean is this
~#**************#~
I used to worship a certain Queens police murderer
~#**************#~
‘Til I read the words of Ivan Van Sertima
~#**************#~
He inserted something in me that made me feel worthier
~#**************#~
Now I spit revolution, Im his hood interpreter
~#**************#~
[Bridge 2: Mykel]
~#**************#~
Take a look in the mirror
~#**************#~
And see the bigger picture
~#**************#~
Its good to be alive
~#**************#~
(Its good to be alive)
~#**************#~
Nobody is an island
~#**************#~
We are part of an environment
~#**************#~
Only way were gon survive
~#**************#~
Is if we harmonize
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Mykel]
~#**************#~
Were not alone
~#**************#~
Were not alone
~#**************#~
Were not alone
~#**************#~
Were not alone
~#**************#~
[Outro: Nas]
~#**************#~
Ayo Im American born, love America
~#**************#~
Love my people, love all mankind, all nationalities, you know
~#**************#~
I think its just recently where everybody just started to feel
~#**************#~
Like there was an elite group that runs everything
~#**************#~
And everybody else was sheep, ignorant
~#**************#~
Making all ethnicities, colors and creeds
~#**************#~
Niggers, blind to what really is going on
~#**************#~
So I say take off the wool from your eyes
~#**************#~
Out with the old America in with the new
~#**************#~
End all racism, all injustice, all oppression to poor people
~#**************#~
Any people anywhere in this planet
~#**************#~
Lets come together: a new day is rising
