Why can't we be one community
Why we always breaking in three
Why can't we be one community
I am talkin' 'bout you and me
Put down your dukes and pick up the pieces of your life
Put down the nukes and the gun, rope, tongue, missile, bullet, knife
Why can't we be one community
Why we always breaking in three
Why can't we be one community
I am talkin' 'bout you and me
Tell me the truth; there's harm in beatings 'round the bush
Don't turn me to sleuth, 'cuz I detect bullshit when shove comes to push
So why can't we be one community
Why we always breaking in three
Why can't we be one community
I am talkin' 'bout you and me
'Cuz anyone is someone when there's someone there to need you
When you're the one who freed you all the while
Why can't we be one community
Why we always breaking in three
Why can't we be one community
I am talkin' 'bout you and me
Why can't we be one community
Why can't we be one community
Why can't we be one community
One community
