| 'Til we get there
|
| 'Til we get there
|
| 'Til we get there
|
| Yowego, from the poorest and blackest of people
|
| To survive in the streets of Modesho
|
| The most dangerous armed and lethal, yet peaceful
|
| We no evil, I come from the slums that’s run down
|
| Spit native intelligent tongue sound
|
| Would rather get gunned down than dumbed down
|
| So come down …
|
| Much success to you comrade
|
| To who I wrong, if it’s never been said before, my bad
|
| I took a page from the book of Martin Luther
|
| And decided that it’s better to hug ya than to shoot ya
|
| I’m sorry homie if it’s not what ya use ta
|
| But the way that we livin' these black lives is beautiful
|
| All the things we’ve been through and the tree we done bloomed
|
| We probably family but we never knew
|
| 'Til we get there, I’m on your side
|
| 'Til we get there, I’m on your side
|
| And it can take some time, 'til we win this fight
|
| 'Til we get there, I’m on your side, yeah
|
| That’s what’s called solidarity
|
| When we struggle it’s therapy, after chaos we get clarity
|
| My enemy’s enemy is my man remember?
|
| I ain’t tryin' to be endin' up in this man’s dilemma
|
| We only here for a minute, it’s what you make it so live it
|
| See, I’m a ryder and I’m gon' be remembered
|
| For those of you not born, to those of you not here
|
| I wish you the best and that’s real
|
| This ain’t ya average, when they portray us they say «all savage»
|
| Coz we have it, blast it, won’t stash it
|
| Coz we fight to the death and manage
|
| To makes songs of struggle and to habits
|
| And dammit, if I don’t get even
|
| It’s chant down Babylon season
|
| Die for Nee Orleans to Cleveland
|
| 'Til we even, we not believin'
|
| 'Til we get there, I’m on your side, yeah
|
| 'Til we get there, I’m on your side
|
| And it can take some time, 'til we win this fight
|
| 'Til we get there, I’m on your side, yeah
|
| I love when we makin' plays
|
| I love all our brilliant ways
|
| I love when we get paid and never move away from the hood
|
| We keep gettin' while the gettin' is good
|
| You right at home in our neck of the woods
|
| Coz we people, momma said treat others like you want 'em to treat you
|
| We just wanna live and be peaceful
|
| Long as it makes sense, I’m a have patience
|
| Especially with my brothas I go back in the day with
|
| We speak the same language, suffer the same dangers
|
| Coz our children are victims of lead paint chips
|
| Out in L.A. they put the black against the Mexicans
|
| Old rivaling’s is throwin' up they sets again
|
| They put the short against the tall and the old vers the new
|
| Pretty soon it’s gon' be me against you
|
| All the things we been through and the tree that we bloomed
|
| I wish you much success and stay true
|
| 'Til we get there, I’m on your side
|
| 'Til we get there, I’m on your side, yeah
|
| And it can take some time, 'til we win this fight
|
| 'Til we get there, I’m on your side
|
| 'Til we get there, I’m on your side (I'm on your side)
|
| 'Til we get there, I’m on your side (I am on your side)
|
| And it can take some time, 'til we win this fight
|
| 'Til we get there, I’m on your side, yeah
|
| 'Til we get there, I’m on your side
|
| 'Til we get there, I’m on your side
|
| And it can take some time (it can take some time), 'til we win this fight (till
|
| we win this fight)
|
| 'Til we get there, I’m on your side, yeah
|
| 'Til we get there, I’m on your side, yeah
|
| 'Til we get there, I’m on your side
|
| And it can take some time, 'til we win this fight
|
| 'Til we get there, I’m on your side (I am on your side) |
