R&B has lost it's soul / that is why I rock & roll Modern pop it leaves me cold / it's nothing but cliché And Hip-hop now has lost it's sting / because it's all about bling-bling Don't you have something interesting to say? Making music for the masses All of that's been done before You gotta say something / It's gotta mean something Empty words without a message That ain't what I'm looking for You gotta say something / It's gotta mean something Another stupid party song / that everyone can sing along But no one asks "what's going on?" no more like Marvin Gaye Another million songs of love / I really I think I've heard enough Don't you have something meaningful to say? Making music for the masses All of that's been done before You gotta say something / It's gotta mean something Empty words without a message That ain't what I'm looking for You gotta say something / It's gotta mean something Am I just jaded / am I just out of touch? My hope has faded / the game has changed too much Words without passion, songs without a theme Are now in fashion, it makes me just want to scream It makes me wanna scream Making music for the masses All of that's been done before You gotta say something / It's gotta mean something Empty words without a message That ain't what I'm looking for You gotta say something / It's gotta mean something Give me music that means something Let it open up the door You gotta say something / It's gotta mean something
