Survive
Martin had a dream
Muhammad is my idol
And Nat Turner had a scheme
Malcolm had a rifle
Marley shot the sheriff
Michael taught us to be fly
Yosef Ben had the narrative
How will we survive?
So many lies
What are they trying hide
The government is in disguise
Probably secretly plotting our demise No lies
Why can't they feed the poor?
You know why?
Cause they don't give a f
These b rather start a war
Kill the poor just to make a buck
And it sucks!
Cause the people are starving
And what's going on?
I'm listening to Marvin
I'm cooking with Sam
I'm rolling with Otis
I gets down for them ones
Who have no one to notice
Their hurt
And no where to go and no where to be
Trying to help the less fortunate
Get back on their feet
Can't even think
Without nothing to eat, s
It's real in the field
It's raw in these streets
Ya feeling me G?
We gone be alright
Even though
It might get a lil hard sometimes
After the rain the Sun will shine
Together we will survive
And everything gone be just fine
Don't get discouraged
Stay on ya grind
Sisters and Brothers
Gotta love each other
Together we will survive!
Martin had a dream
Muhammad is my idol
And Nat Turner had a scheme
Malcolm had a rifle
Marley shot the sheriff
Michael taught us to be fly
Yosef Ben had the narrative
How will we survive?
What's up
With all this black on black crime?
And how come we cant
Get it together for nothing?
Just hating on each other all the time
It's like a slave mentality
Or sumn, hey
What's up with all these
F racists?
It's like they've been hiding or something
I see it written on their faces
A revolution is coming
Cause we're tired of getting hunted
And we can't hunt em back
Now they're killing our children
But we can't kill em back
Now we're tired of getting profiled
That s is whack
And gotta put up with that
We have the right
To pull gats and straps
It's bulls
They never cut us no slack
And ya chances of incarceration
Go up if you're black
You're just a N to em
Even if you fought in Iraq
Or went to the league
Or learned how to rap or any of that!
We gone be alright
Even though it might
Get a lil hard sometimes
After the rain the Sun will shine
Together we will survive
And everything gone be just fine
Don't get discouraged
Stay on ya grind
Sisters and Brothers
Gotta love each other
Together we will survive!
