Ain't nobody got nothing good to say
And if it ain't a dirty game nobody wants to play (nobody wants to play)
Shoot him up, bag him up, stick him up, get away
And I read in the newspaper, things are getting worse everyday

Oh-oh, we need to go back
(We need to go back)
Back to the songs we used to sing
We need to go back
(We need to go back)
When we would share a little bit (of everything) everything

And if that don't do it (pray)
Or pull us through it (pray)
And you don't know a better way (pray)
Maybe we need to (pray)
We need to pray (pray)
We need to pray, yeah

Everybody's got a surprise in store for you
You ask 'em where they're coming from
They tell ya where they're going to

Just trip the fool
Play it cool
Break the rules
You'll get by
And they swear
On the bible, it's the truth
When they know it's a lie

Oh-oh, we need to go back
(We need to go back)
Back to (the songs we used to sing) we used to sing
We need to go back
(We need to go back)
To when we shared a little bit of everything

And if that don't do it (pray)
Or pull us through it (pray)
And you don't know a better way (pray)
Maybe we need to (pray)
Pray (pray)
We need to, we need to pray (pray)
And if that don't do it (pray)
Or pull us through it (pray)
And you don't know a better way (pray)
Maybe we need to
