[Intro]
Too much pride will lead to jealousy
Too much jealousy will lead to anger

Too much anger will lead to hate
Too much hate will lead to violence
Too much violence will lead to death

And in the end, what do we got left?

[Verse 1]

Yo' I'm back with a message to send
I've got something on my mind and I can't pretend
It's gonna disappear without a trace

This problem won't go away it's something we've got to face
Seems like all I see and feel is hate these days
Tell me what path did we take to get us walking this way

We need to stop dead in our tracks & turn back
Think about our actions before we act
Cause violence, is not the key

That will open this door and lead us to peace
I'll only bring us down and lower our number
How many races will laugh at us now

If we continue killing ourselves then we'll end up out numbered
I thought our people had respect and love
Yo' how did we go from all that and end up with none of the above

You feel me, so sing it

[Chorus]

Hmoob hlub hmoob
Hmoob pab hmoob
Hmoob txhob ntxub hmoob

Hmoob pab kho hmoob
Hmoob hlub hmoob
Hmoob pab hmoob

Hmoob txhob ntxub hmoob
Hmoob pab kho hmoob


[Verse 2]
Just the other night on the evening news
Top story was about Hmong people and polygamy issues

I know you probably don't practice it and never will, but still there are a few who do
It made my heart cry hearin' about another couple's homecide followed by suicide
Leaving all their kids behind

I wonder what could have helped them both not die
I wonder why they lived such tormented lives
We ain't even half a million here in the U.S.

And already we blood spillin' and killing each other over nonsense
Don't you think it's insane
Blowin' out each other brain

Over a set he claimed, it's a damn shame
Placing our future in vain
If we really care and try

Together you and I can make that change... together you and I can make that change

[Chorus]

Hmoob hlub hmoob
Hmoob pab hmoob
Hmoob txhob ntxub hmoob

Hmoob pab kho hmoob
Hmoob hlub hmoob
Hmoob pab hmoob

Hmoob txhob ntxub hmoob
Hmoob pab kho hmoob


[Verse 3]
The only folks who you should ever get even with
Are the ones who's helped you all along

Life should always be lived, deeper than it is
Than how many try to live it long
It's impossible to express your love

With your clenched fist
So never pick a fight, even when it's right
People always agrue but they never realized

If you want the last words, then apologize, be wise, and swallow your pride

[Chorus 3x]

Hmoob hlub hmoob
Hmoob pab hmoob
Hmoob txhob ntxub hmoob
Hmoob pab kho hmoob
Hmoob hlub hmoob

Hmoob pab hmoob
Hmoob txhob ntxub hmoob
Hmoob pab kho hmoob
