Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination

I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means

And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar

And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream the top of my lungs
"What's going on?"

And I said, "Hey-ey-ey-ey"
Hey-ey-ey
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

And I said, hey yeah yeah, ayy, ayy, hey, hey
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

And I try, oh my God do I try
I try all the time, in this institution

And I pray, oh my God do I pray
I pray every single day
For revolution

And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying bed just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar

And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream the top of my lungs
"What's going on?"

And I said, "Hey-ey-ey-ey"
Hey-ey-ey
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

And I said, "Hey-ey-ey-ey"
Hey-ey-ey
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"
