| I think the jewel that the brother 2Pac was dropping
|
| Was uh «Keep your head up»
|
| He was right on with that one, he was right on, right on
|
| Supreme wisdom, the motion in which one moves
|
| It’s like, it’s like words that are wise that make the people groove
|
| Substance, the material of integrity, that builds strength
|
| Now huh, see soul is the source of universal love
|
| It’s the DNA of the world
|
| It’s what makes the world go around
|
| Now, now those that have it, may feel the sense of being complete
|
| Those without it, are in search of what’s missing
|
| See how can I forget, the poverty, the projects
|
| The lack of opportunity, the injustice
|
| Aww man, they’re seeing through the lies of politicians
|
| False promises, selling us religion, poisonous injections
|
| These superstitious believes, we teach our children to eat
|
| The wrong foods, mentally and physically
|
| Now if I told ya’ll the truth
|
| The opportunities are slim
|
| Living conditions are grim
|
| Our youth’s future seems dim
|
| Infested communities, drugs destroyed many families
|
| Children left alone, separated broken homes
|
| It’s like they’re victims of modern day lynchings
|
| You know, huh the system stopping us to frisk
|
| Handcuffing our wrist, like they trapping us all
|
| In hopes of sending us up north
|
| Crunching on the jail bars, thinking of escape
|
| Waiting on release date, man yeah
|
| To all the youths of today we got to find a better way
|
| For real this is simply Jamel Irief |
