we're movin' up to higher consciousness
we're movin' up can't hang with the negative
we're movin' up to higher consciousness
we're movin' up got to stay with the positive

in this world of competition
there is no recognition
in this world of competition
there is no satisfaction
in this world of competition
there is too much rejection
in this world of competition
there is too much deception

there is the glitter
but where is the gold
there is the splendor
but where is the soul
there is the potter
but where is the clay
we're from the ghetto
with this much to say
