Ya'll Stay Up |
For every second of |
Every minute of |
Every hour of |
Every day of |
My life, I stayed plugged |
And away from fake thugs |
Celebrate make love |
Y’all stay up |
My people rise we immune to the evil eye |
We in the times when mosquito bites make people die |
Birds falling out the sky from the pesticides |
Niggas survive with no time for the wonder why |
Get high, get fly, get wonderful |
Rock earth tones, language is colorful |
Walking light with the big sticks through the night |
Find a beautiful life through usual strife |
We throw change-ups |
Now it’s time to switch the game up |
Brooklyn lick-shot |
Let the heaters spit the flame up |
Mentioning those who came up |
Always bringing Kweli name up |
We off the hook |
Them other cats got hang ups |
We came from fourty acres and a cheap mule |
None of what we do |
Is smoke blunts, drink forties, get paper and keep to |
Crews carry out justice with street rules |
Think what they need to, pay deep dues to heap fews |
Murder machines, designer jeans we bleed through |
The weak fools in the elite few are see-through |
You peep who fake if your eyes are keen to reality |
You see who cling to the mind state of fallacy |
They can’t face the tragedy of spiritual depravity |
They see the situation but they don’t know the gravity |
I mastered the response by following the calling |
The light shining behind me casting shadows on the fallen |
For, every second of, the night we wrecking clubs |
Get the people’s hands up above |
Get respect and love worldwide |
International, son of the black national |
And pan-african back again over soul beats |
Hold heat like the sunshine |
(Truly?) for one time |
No peace ever since justice become blind |
That bitch act like she can’t see what we been through |
I bitch-slap mics, raise my voice and continue like that |
Yes we rocking like that, that, that |
We gonna continue like that, that |
Like that, that |
Like that, that |
That, that, that, that |
Rocking and shocking the house |
YoungBlood brass band |
Hot and we knocking 'em out |
Kweli from Brooklyn and we |
Drop from the top to the south |
So what now? |
Showing you all what it’s all about |
In the language of those who blast before they talk it out |
In the language of those who blast before they talk it out |
In the language of those who blast before they talk it out |
In the language of those who blast before they talk it out |
