Get Up |
| Before I take a mic, take a break beat or a break to write |
| Break me down Lord please and shape my life |
| We need leaders, these elitists got nothing to teach us |
| By they strength, our children need to see Jesus in their weakness |
| And keep seeking where free speech is rare |
| And realness gets kept less frequent than these secrets, share |
| A couple stories like a town home or brownstone |
| Over loud phones about my hang ups and dial tones |
| Swim in heaven and at worst you get drowned toe’d |
| Down to the place where the clouds roam |
| So we get up, all my people feeling bored and strange |
| If you don’t feel at home in this conformist state |
| Then don’t ignore the pain, that’s the Lord that’s saying |
| To you, «Stand up king, you were born to reign» |
| That’s the war that’s waged and the important thing |
| Ain’t what you’d die for, it’s what you live for today |
| We need to |
| Get up |
| Even if they knock us down |
| They can’t can’t stop us, smile right back at 'em |
| Laugh and then get up |
| Actions speak louder than a thousands talkers |
| So make 'em blast that in their Walk Mans |
| It’s hard to stand in a nation where the masses sit idle and passionless |
| Politics is polls, in the papers all the facts are skipped |
| Can’t ascertain so the scholars place an asterisk |
| And stories on the stars to dumb down and distract us with |
| We can’t help but feel detached from this capitalist |
| Confusing communion of corporate sponsors and advocates |
| Where every actor is an activist |
| But a movie cast won’t fix these broken homes full of fractured kids |
| Aren’t broken bones you can wrap up quick |
| Folks trying to master this game that I call money for masochists |
| Where if you wanna make a cut, gotta match their risk |
| Dig in your pockets, not for cash but to slash your wrists |
| And fashion’s just a game of who can follow fads fastest |
| Wish some kind of miraculous world change can happen quick |
| But these problems don’t take seconds to solve |
| And getting mad ain’t the same thing as getting involved |
| We need to |
| Get a mic, get skill, get ice, get bills |
| Get the life that you always wanted and then get killed |
| Get slain, cause the rappers that do get fame |
| Is insane, all they talk about is who should get blamed |
| Young brothers get steel before they get aim |
| And they wanna get it pulled before they get trained |
| Cause they wanna get respect, get checks, get dames |
| Things we all wanna get but end up getting drained |
| Trying to get 'em, we get stressed and we get strained |
| We don’t all get the ghetto but we all get pain |
| Before I get to the refrain, I hope you get what I’m saying |
| It’s messed, but we just might get some change if we |
