A telling you what, yea, war, is what you sing
When you appeal to the darkness in our hearts and thing
Promoting the slackness within
I beg of you entertainer to weigh the balance you bring
Are you the Yin? Are you the Yang?
Well I guess it doesn't matter only where you belong
You promoting goodness or you promoting wrong
On impressionable minds you leave a brand, yo

Sing upright! Sing upright!
Sing upright, ya! Sing upright ya!
Sing upright! Sing up, sing, upright!
Sing upright, ya!

Talking to the man dem, that leads this generation
With your lyrical content that promotes separation
All I hear is who got the biggest bling
And everything you talk about is some competition ting
Who got the baddest car, who got the deepest rims
Which man have got bullet scars, which man a wearing tims
Things in the scheme which ain't even funny
It's amazing how you glorify their money, yo

Sing upright! Sing upright!
Sing upright, ya! Sing upright!
Sing upright! Won't you sing, upright!
Sing upright, ya!

Yo Miss Lady Singer, that leads this generation
With your lyrical content 'bout your sexy disposition
Tings in the scheme which ain't close to funny
It's amazing the low value you place on your body
Dressing like a bat which only fly by night
Morality is that, of the Hollywood type
Doing all you can to get on MTV
To reach the cross-culture and the big money
Maybe you don't know or you don't care
'Bout the impact you have from what the youths dem hear
By the impact you bring, by what the youths dem see
It's amazing how you sing for money, yo

Sing upright! Sing upright!
Sing upright, ya! Sing up, sing upright!
Sing upright! Won't you sing, upright!
Sing upright, ya!

Well if it's all good, then it's alright
If it's all good, we will rock it all night
If it's all good, then it's alright

Sing upright! Sing upright!
Sing upright, ya! Sing upright, sing upright!
Sing upright! Sing upright! Sing upright!
Sing upright, ya!

Well if it's all good, then it's alright
If it's all good, we will rock it all night
If it's all good, then it's alright..
