feat. Winston McAnuff


Here we are today without knowledge we'll fall

Still I will never be the one to heed my enemy's call

Everybody right on, right on

It's not what you see

my little brother right on

Everybody right on, right on

My little brother right on, right on

Bring my stone, bring my hammer down

Bring my stone, bring my hammer down

From Mt. Zion, Mount Zion

From Mount Zion, Mount Zion

Everybody right on, right on

Watch what you see

my little brother right on

everybody right on, right on

oh right on, everybody right on


(guitar solo)

(Winston)

Ishmael and Isaac, Israel and Palestine

please draw a line, a line, a line

Ishmael and Isaac, Israel and Palestine

Brothers are you blind?

Here we are today without knowledge we'll fall

Still I will never be the one to heed my enemies call

Everybody right on, right on

watch what you see, my little brother right on

Everybody right on, right on

Oh right on, right on

Bring my stone, bring my hammer down

Bring my stone, bring my hammer down

From Mt. Zion, Mount Zion

From Mount Zion, Mount Zion

Everyone right on, right on

Everybody right on, right on

watch what you see, my little brother right on

oh right on, right on

everybody!

Overall Meaning

The song “Right On” by Professor featuring Winston McAnuff is a call for unity and progress despite the challenges faced by society. The first two lines, “Here we are today without knowledge we'll fall / Still I will never be the one to heed my enemy's call”, underscore the importance of education and critical thinking in order to survive in a world full of misleading information. The lyrics then urge everyone to keep moving forward despite obstacles: “Everybody right on, right on / It's not what you see / my little brother right on”. The repetition of “right on” emphasizes the need to stay focused and not be distracted by negativity.


The song then shifts focus to the ongoing conflict between Ishmael and Isaac, Israel and Palestine, stressing the need for unity instead of division: “please draw a line, a line, a line / Ishmael and Isaac, Israel and Palestine / Brothers are you blind?”. Professor’s refusal to follow the enemy’s call has a broader message, as it encourages listeners to not be misled by divisive rhetoric from those in power: “Still I will never be the one to heed my enemies call”. The lyrics “Bring my stone, bring my hammer down / From Mount Zion, Mount Zion” suggest a call for action and oneness, as if to say that with unity and determination, anything is possible.
