Going Hard |
I got a part to play, we going hard these days |
Fuck the harder way, we doing it the harder way |
To my god I pray, that’s how I start my day |
The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today |
I say the shit these people ain’t got the heart to say |
Fuck the harder way, we doing it the smarter way |
To my god I pray, that’s how I start my day |
The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today |
(1st Verse) |
You say you never scared there’s kids in other countries |
Making jerseys, jeans, and sneakers they could never wear |
Parents never there, they’re busy building homes they can’t afford to buy |
Cars they can’t afford to drive |
Working jobs that don’t support their life |
You busy screaming gangsta, gangsta all that talk is trife |
You already know lost the fight if you don’t know the cost of life |
These kids is forced to fight a war they can’t outrun |
Ain’t got no shoes but got a gun |
Now where the fuck he pulled that out from? |
People ask me how we wearing diamonds |
When there’s little kids in Sierra Leone |
Losing arms for crying while they mining |
Probably an orphan who’s momma died of AIDS |
He built a coffin working often but he never paid |
Forever slaving in the world that’s forever cold |
Becoming the man of the house at 11 years old |
This reality rap, I get inside the mentality that… |
Terrorize you like a cowardly act |
(Hook) |
I got a part to play, we going hard these days |
Fuck the harder way, we doing it the harder way |
To my god I pray, that’s how I start my day |
The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today |
I say the shit these people ain’t got the heart to say |
Fuck the harder way, we doing it the smarter way |
To my god I pray, that’s how I start my day |
The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today |
(2nd Verse) |
I was sold to a sick European by a rich African battlin' |
Middle Passages, I can’t go back again |
Battlin’years of denied history, lies and mysteries |
Wives with misty eyes watchin’their husbands be beaten viciously |
Battle in the wilderness of North America |
Run by the river, only stoppin’to pray chased by predators |
Terrorists with etiquette who vote and kill their president |
Their capacity for evil so evident and prevalent |
Ain’t no hesitation involved, a nation dissolved |
While we sit back waitin’to evolve |
Those who would trade in their freedom |
For their protection deserve neither |
Not a name, not tradition |
Religion, you learn Jesus |
Turn the other cheek |
Inherit the Earth, just stay meek |
Fuck the way you speak |
Try to run, we chop off your feet |
Fast forward to 2004 we selling |
Yo this ain’t what I’m settling for |
I want more, yo |
(Hook) |
I got a part to play, we going hard these days |
Fuck the harder way, we doing it the harder way |
To my god I pray, that’s how I start my day |
The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today |
I say the shit these people ain’t got the heart to say |
Fuck the harder way, we doing it the smarter way |
To my god I pray, that’s how I start my day |
The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today |
