[Intro:]
2
It's kind of hard to keep faith in the things that you do
3
When everybody turns they back on you
4
It's kind of hard to keep faith in the things that you do
5
When everybody turns they back on you
6
It's kind of hard to keep faith in the things that you do
7
When everybody turns they back on you
8
It's kind of hard to keep faith in the things that you do
9
When everybody turns they back
10
[Verse 1:]
11
Yeah, I know a city that's surrounded by a beautiful beach
12
The economy boosted by the drugs they move in the streets
13
More clearer than the crystal sky, blue as the beast
14
The people ain't got shoes for they feet or food to eat
15
So they hurtin' but what's for certain
16
Is that you can get you some heat
17
And over beef you laid to rest like you was getting some sleep
18
Where the little kids get they rendition, you cant get no nutrition
19
Or any type of suitable living condition, listen
20
They shoot you over that paper, its just survivalist human nature
21
That put you out of your misery like youth in Asia
22
Don't let them fool you we ain't different
23
Than the youth in Asia, Africa, Europe it's a small world
24
we truly neighbors,
25
If they the third world then who the first to get to heaven
26
I know its hard but who does God choose to go through it worst
27
Usually it's the prophets asking a cat what really matters
28
Nowadays its his pockets
29
[Chorus:]
30
We gotta get back to what really matters
31
We gotta search our soul to find out what we after
32
The more I find my voice the more they try to make it harder
33
Mom and Dad don't forget to warn your sons and daughters
34
About the nature of the world today
35
The nature of the world today
36
The nature of the world today
37
[Verse 2:]
38
Don't nobody talk no more they on text message
39
Driving and typing not paying attention
40
Missing they next exit depending on navigation
41
Never knowing where they going they staying stuck
42
On one spot they not growing I'm so over crying waiting
43
And hoping playing the blame game
44
The game changed me into a
45
different world like Dwayne Wade
46
Getting high just to maintain
47
Take my music like a drug and drop the
48
Needle in the same vein
49
I get a rush like I'm tweeking off blow
50
Except it ain't via the nose it's from deep in my soul
51
The street slang I be speaking in code
52
Kicking the door, freaking the flow till they speakers explode
53
We in control the people know I speak the truth
54
The power and my roots
55
Is thicker than sour _ and I'm strongly busting out the flower pot
56
Family tradition is to tell them you love them
57
While your family living from granny and the kitchen _
58
[Chorus:]
59
We gotta get back to what really matters
60
We gotta search our soul to find out what we after
61
The more I find my voice the more they try to make it harder
62
Mom and Dad don't forget to warn your sons and daughters
63
About the nature of the world today
64
The nature of the world today
65
The nature of the world today
66
It's kind of hard to keep faith in the things that you do
67
When everybody turns they back on you
68
It's kind of hard to keep faith in the things that you do
69
When everybody turns they back on you
70
It's kind of hard to keep faith in the things that you do
71
When everybody turns they back on you
72
It's kind of hard to keep faith in the things that you do
73
When everybody turns they back
74
[Justin:]
75
I'm just trying to get back to what really matters
76
I'm trying search my soul to find out what I'm after
77
The more I find my voice the more they try to make it harder
78
Mom and Dad don't forget to warn your sons and daughters
79
