lyrics

You got a problem, what you gonna do?
Complain in circles or find the power in you?
You got a problem, how you gonna act?
Lay idle in defeat or rise and react?
You got a problem, did you know?
Perpetuate that which you oppose

You can take effect
I know you can effect
You can take effect
But you're telling yourself otherwise
You can take effect
I know you can effect
You can take effect
I don't even think you realize

A lot of people can't get control
A lot of people born or fall in a hole
A lot of people need our help
You may be down, had a taste of how it felt

You can take effect
I know you can effect
You can take effect
But you're telling yourself otherwise
You can take effect
I know you can effect
You can take effect
I don't even think you realize

Why are you here?
I don't know
Are you alive?
Let it show
Why are you here? Why do you give a damn?
What is your fucking plan?

You got a problem, what you gonna say?
"I put it off for one more day"
You got a problem, life's so unfair man
Well, what about the lives chained to hunger and despair?
We've got a problem, can't wait too long
Or it will be our hands the blood is on

You can take effect
You can take effect
You can take effect
But you're telling yourself otherwise
You can take effect
I know you can effect
You can take effect
I don't even think you realize
