Helpful - Dead Prez, The Evil Genius DJ Green Lantern

Can’t get but so far in this life being selfish

A free spirit

A giving heart

That’s what wealth is

We rich when we recognize the power that’s within

It’s not all about the money

It’s the time that we spend

It’s the hand that we lend

To a friend when we can

It’s the kind words you gave to that homeless man

Without judging that man

It’s the fact that you gave;

And showed compassion 'cause he humbly asked you for change

I know the blessings I receive is not just for me

A shared blessing comes back to you

That’s what I believe

To help someone in need

To throw down some rope

To be a ray of hope

Ya know?

Sometimes you gotta help somebody

Sometimes you gotta help somebody

Sometimes you just gotta be helpful

When life gets stressful

Sometimes you gotta help somebody

Sometimes you gotta help somebody

What goes around is gonna come back 'round

What goes around is gonna come back 'round

When you help somebody

Donate my extra clothes

To a clothing drive

Help the lady cross the street

Bring her bags inside

Send a letter to a prisoner to lift his spirit

Be a mentor to a child 'cause it takes a village

Lend a hand, help a brother

That I learned the hard way

All for one

One for all

It got to be the squad way

The early bird get the worm

It’s corny but it’s true

First impressions last forever

Careful how you move

First you crawl

Then you walk

The 1 before the 2

Nothing new under the sun

The golden rule

Lazy people work the hardest

That’s my motivation

Everything in moderation

Even moderation

Yo

Yo, when you put out your hand

Is it to give or to receive?

See what goes around will come back around

I do believe

That the positive and negative is relative to where you live

Not from experience

That’s what we tell the kids

'cause they are the seeds

The stronger the root

The stronger the tree

If we eat from the fruit

The stronger we be

If we do it today

Tomorrow we free
