Hey World
Michael Franti Spearhead Lyrics

Hey world, you know you got to put up a fight
The world is a place of constant struggle and we must be prepared to face it head-on.

Hey world, you rumble in the jungle tonight
Life is unpredictable and full of chaos, and we must be ready to face it at any given moment.

Hey world, keep bringing it the rest of your life
We need to be persistent and never give up in the face of adversity and challenges.

You got to put up a fight.
In order to succeed, we must work hard and be willing to fight for what we believe in.

There's a battle going on in this earth
There are constant struggles and conflicts happening all around us at all times.

Everyday. Work, school, death, and birth.
Life is a never-ending cycle of daily tasks, events, and major life changes.

There are 6 billion people on this earth,
The world is populated by an enormous number of individuals, all with different beliefs and experiences.

Can you tell me what every single life is worth?
It is impossible to place a value on the lives of every single person on earth.

Toke a spliff, look around and see history.
By relaxing and taking a step back, we can appreciate the larger picture of history and its impact on our present lives.

My weapon and my method is no mystery.
The methods and tools we use to effect change are not secret or hidden.

I didn't come here to chill. I came here to rock,
We must actively engage with the world and take action to create change.

To smash the empire with my boom-box.
We can use art, music, and culture to challenge the status quo and make our voices heard.

You got to let go of remote control!
We must stop being passive spectators in our own lives and instead take control of our actions and decisions.

On a universal mission like a meteorite.
We should have a broad and far-reaching mission to effect change across the world.

Satellite, laser beam with you in their sights.
There are powerful institutions that keep a close watch on individuals and their actions.

And with the patriot act they took all your right.
Government policies such as the Patriot Act can infringe on individual rights and freedoms.

Don't ever doubt the power of just one mind.
Even one person can have a profound impact on the world and create change.

Or the world-wide power of just one rhyme.
Art, music, and culture have the ability to connect people across the world and make a difference.

Don't ever doubt the force of the baseline.
We should never underestimate the power of music to inspire and create change.

Or a record going round to burn the house down.
Music can be a catalyst for change and rebellious movements.

There's a bullet with your name, it's a sign of the times.
There are constant threats and dangers in the world and we must be on guard.

It takes nine hundred ninety nine criminal minds.
There are many people in the world who are willing to do harm to others.

All rebel rockers!
We should all strive to be rebels and challenge the status quo for the betterment of society.
