Rise Up |
| Look where we headed, niggas want baby mamas instead of weddings |
| They holler «she crazy» — you knew that before you got her pregnant |
| Visualize the dream of Malcolm and Martin opposite |
| We all God’s children, making the devil’s adoption list |
| Free will keep overriding our common sense |
| Born with a conscious, but over time we build up a tolerance |
| Immunity to scrutiny, that’s just how the world turn |
| And Alfred taught me some people just want to watch the world burn |
| Ashes to ashes after flashes of decisions made |
| The world disintegrates, that’s shallow, just take centre stage |
| As I pen this page, some would say that I’m a renegade |
| Cleanin' out my closet, I’m just man enough to renovate |
| Seduction or corruption’ll have us all fucked |
| Before we all stuck, see the light before we awestruck |
| Back to that baby mama, nigga, here your little boy come |
| Lifetime to build a future, only seconds to destroy one |
| Rise — they say my methods is a weapon |
| Say hello to Mr. AK47 |
| Send me to the jeweller or the reverend |
| Cause I’m 'bout to spray this extra clip I left in |
| So rise, motherfucker, rise |
| Oh, what’s the point? |
| You will die or probably commit suicide to this joint |
| My nigga, they say my message is a weapon |
| Say hello to Mr. AK47 |
| Before they close my casket, I want my words to reach to the masses |
| Before they have me in shackles sayin' I didn’t pay my taxes |
| We laughing, but what’s wack is that this shit could actually happen |
| Shit is real life, the lights and the cameras is just distractions |
| Spoon sped out the mob from the time we open our eyes |
| We don’t try to seek the truth, we more comfortable with the lies |
| Like if I told you black was blue and you never knew all this time |
| Or 1+1 was really 3, you’d go out of your fucking mind |
| Kids is suicidal, homicidal, wanna be famous |
| Hopin' that the video of the trial gon' go viral |
| How we’ve spiralled as a generation, not enough answers |
| Too many questions, I close my eyes and count my blessings |
| I’m realistic about this life, shit, that’s why I write shit |
| That’ll make a nigga think twice and focus on the right shit |
| When happiness ain’t got a price, man, that shit is priceless |
| But it takes some folks they whole life to recognize this, so |
| Violence begets violence, but killers respect the silence |
| Not religious, but I still pray to God and respect the science |
| We’re deaf when the kids is crying, and stare when the TEKs is firing |
| So we the endangered species, they’d rather protect the lions |
| In the Matrix looking for Zion, dying by the gat |
| Is as American as the bacon that they’re frying with the fat |
| They lying, them niggas flat when they clappin' at 'em like blap |
| Your opinion on the matter don’t matter, matter of fact |
| They be aiming it at our back cause we market it as a target |
| Went from modern day prophets to martyrs dying for profit |
| Went from body rockin' to molly popping |
| Niggas will probably wipe your heart |
| Probably stop at the sight of this nigga rockin' |
| At the supermarket shopping |
| Trying to cop a shotgun with a debit card |
| Listening to demagogues |
| Who’s representing Brooklyn like Decepticons |
| This is the new Renaissance |
| My accountant get 5% cause he respect the godsAnnotate |
