I've got somethin' I wanna talk about to you 
 Just another communication 
 It could help the situation 
 It's not the generation 
 That keep gettin' on this nation 
    What I say, what I say 
 What I say, what I say   
 We've made this world what it is today 
 For the way we live and what we do and say 
 The pitiable show in the eye of need 
 You close my eyes every time I don't see   
 What I'm sayin', what I'm sayin' 
 Well, look at here   
 Disgusting one another 
 But still callin' me your brother   
 And listen to me now 
 Now if you believe in what I am sayin' 
 I'll be back, take a slam   
 Like I say, like I say, like I say 
 Say, like I say, like I say   
 All we need is just a little communication 
 That could make this world a better nation 
 Just like the preachers congregation 
 They're all in to his conversation   
 What I say, what I say   
 Oh, Lord, good God 
 Don't put down your brother 
 On the way he dress 
 I am gettin' tired 
 And sick of your mess   
 Ooh, and if you believe 
 Oh Lord, I know you believe in what I am sayin' 
 And I want every man to take a stand   
 All you gotta to is help me 
 Help, help, help me 
 Why don't you help me? 
 Help me, help me, help me sing this song   
 Just a little communication 
 Just a little communication 
 If you see your brother fallin' down 
 Give him a chance to make him come around   
 Got to, got to 
 You've got to, I've got to 
 I've got to, you've got to, you've got to 
 Everybody, come on now   
 You know he's gonna take me back with him 
 Do it again   
 Need just a little communication 
 You can help this situation 
 It's got the, it's got the new generation 
 Just keep on tellin' down this nation   
 Communicate, it's a family affair 
 Communicate, it's a family affair 
 Communicate, baby   
 I know you hear me talkin' to you 
 I know you hear me talkin' to you
