(Chorus)
2
I got a part to play
3
we going hard these days
4
fuck the harder way, we doing it the smarter way
5
To my god I pray
6
that's how i start my day. The bullets start to spray the revolution starts today
7
i say the shit these people. ain't got the heart to say
8
fuck the harder way, we doing it the smarter way
9
To my god I pray
10
that's how i start my day. The bullets start to spray the revolution starts today
11
(Verse 1)
12
You say you never scared
13
there's kids in other countries making jerseys, jeans, and sneakers they could never wear
14
parents never there
15
They're busy building homes they can't affod to buy
16
Cars they can't afford to drive, working jobs that don't support their life
17
You busy screaming gangsta gangsta all that talk is trife
18
you already lost the fight if you don't know the cost of life
19
These kids are forced to fight a war they can't outrun
20
ain't got no shoes but got a gun now where the fuck he pulled that out from
21
people ask me how we wearing diamonds
22
when there's little kids in Sierra Leone losing arms for crying while they're mining
23
probably an orphan who's momma died of AIDS
24
he built a coffin working often but he never paid
25
forever slaving in the world that's forever cold
26
becoming the man of the house at 11 years old
27
this reality rap i get inside the mentality that
28
terrorize you like a cowardly act
29
(Chorus)
30
(Verse 2)
31
I was sold to a sick European by a rich African battling
32
middle passages i can't go back again battling
33
years of denied history, lies and mysteries
34
wives with misty eyes watching their husbands be beaten viciously
35
battling the wilderness of North America
36
run by the river only stopping to pray chased by predators
37
terrorists with etiquette who vote and kill their president
38
their capacity for evil so evident and prevalent
39
ain't no hesitation involved a nation dissolve
40
when we sit back waitin to evolve
41
those who trade in freedom for their protection deserve neither
42
ot a name, not tradition, religion you learn Jesus
43
turn the other cheek inherit the earth just stay meek
44
fuck the way you speak. you try to run we chop off your feet
45
fastforward to 2004 we selling raw
46
yo this ain't what I'm settling for
47
i want more
48
(Chorus)
