Generate meaning
1
Stand up, stretch for the stars
2
Get somebody else involved right next to ya
3
Y'all elected me to keep it so fresh for ya
4
Just cause I make it possible for the rest of ya
5
To just take it there come on and
6
Get your head ringin' from the sting of the snare
7
Spine tingle elevating every singular hair
8
All the way from South Philly on a wing and prayer
9
And still bringin' it yeah
10
[Chorus]
11
C'mon take it there
12
C'mon take it there
13
Let's take it there
14
C'mon take it there
15
I'm from the side of town
16
Where shots get sprayed around
17
Where the expectancy rate be twenty-eight around
18
Downtown battleground where cops parade around
19
Have your whole view of life beyond jaded
20
How everybody sick of breaking down, tryin' a make it out
21
Hand over fist the only way to get the paper down
22
People tired of gettin' pushed around, gettin' gangsta now
23
Discipline the only way to bring some kinda change around
24
Chain cirgarette smokin' with bad nerves
25
And brothas with bad lungs from smokin' mad herb
26
Whoever in the dark is unseen and heard
27
Let's submerge, I can feel something close we on the verge
28
Talkin' bout, to my street sweepers, hotel housekeepers
29
And my people spillin' this out through jail house speakers
30
Some people rather use than might than use heaters
31
Some people rather lose they life than lose freedom
32
For real
33
[Chorus]
34
[poem interlude]
35
Society's time bomb laying dormant
36
Our peopledisenfranchised for the free world
37
Oil for food but they still hungry
38
No democracy
39
They said one vote equals one voice
40
But he told you if he can't work to make it
41
He'll rob to take it
42
The villains
43
Abandoning the planet and the people
44
Another hot summer yo, they 'bout to flood the prisons
45
This ain't no do diddley, it's a do somethin'
46
Flash light, red light, proceed ahead right
47
Straight into them headlights, you get your head right
48
Head right get a third strike, hit the turnpike
49
Life quicker than spliff that wouldn't burn right
50
Make you wanna holla 'bout it
51
It ain't no doubt about it
52
Every now and then you gotta stand up and shout about it
53
And I'll be shoutin' it to, as if a shout'll count
54
Yo they got accountin' to do, reamount the ballot
55
The shit more puzzlin' than a jigsaw
56
Raw pitbulls hustlin' through the pitfalls
57
Some of y'all toys let the laughter rip roar
58
Heart felt truth in every lyric I spit forth
59
Raise up time to lift off
60
Written on a lega pad, poetry that sizzle the clip board
61
My og, my homey who taught me deal
62
Said in prayer that's the only time you should ever kneel
63
And that's real, I'm a take it there
64
[Chorus]
