Nick:
Which one is it who ya gonna believe
Undivided in my material being
Undivided life
You can't fade me
Desperate the cling I make to positvity
Stay gettin it on til the doubt is gone
If you could be dissuaded you were dead all along
Like what's up now you can't fade me
Still in that same old trade of positivity
