Revolutionary (feat. Bump J)
All situations, good or bad got a meaning
Don't know what it mean to you
Live and learn, man
Love more than most, uh
Nigga stressed out
I'm in between celebratin' and feelin' left out
But I'm still countin' my blessings
Traumatized so we ridin' with Wessons
Locked and loaded up with rounds of protection
Profound with aggression, you found us on Essex
We drownin' in lessons and rounded in sessions
Tryna pound out the sound of oppression
Hearin' this, and now you bound to respect it, motherfucker
Coalition goin' bad cause you rockin' with other suckas
Now that pressure heavy, front line while you never ready
Wanna shine but they never let me
Past chasin' me and never catch me, 'cause the truth is scary
When them shootings varied, shit was revolutionary (on foe'nem)
Stand like a man, do you understand?
Create a fist from your hand, do you understand?
And never quit on your plans, do you understand?
We can't get rich off this land, do you understand?
Made my first hunnid grand, a hunnid rubber bands
Happy I can share it with the fam
Lost friends and I shed tears in my Lam'
Had to face it like I'm doin' glam
Made my heart numb and use my head, try to analyze what I said
I broke bread and they ain't give a damn
Had to think about myself, but I ain't selfish, I'm just one man
Therefore, if I'm feelin' helpless them I'm gon' blam
I'm goin' all in
Like the Panthers, I just wanna see us all win
I mean all the people like me, but not with cars and nice things
All the hustlers on the street with Nikes and white tees
Light skin, and so I had to toughen up to fight these
If you elevate your mind just like me, it might ease
Suffocatin' and they blamin' it on lean and tight jeans
But if you stay awake and dream the right things, you might breathe, killa
Stand like a man, do you understand?
Create a fist from your hand, do you understand?
And never quit on your plans, do you understand?
We can't get rich off this land, do you understand?
Bein' rich is a mindset, yeah, I understand
We was ballin', I took an L, well, let's run again
Rather ten lion than 50 sheep, you don't understand
My circle small, you fifty deep, still you undermanned
Out here with that drum again, I'm just tryna make it home
Think my own people tryna ooh me, Lord, I pray I'm wrong
Keep callin' me bro like I'm slow, I just play along
Nigga try to snake, I'm gone, drum finna play a song for 'em
The sky's the limit? No, the sky is the floor
Head in the clouds, God quiet the noise
Headed to trial, I should've fired the lawyer
Tell a lie with my hand on the Bible
I lie in a song before I'm compromisin' my morals
I blew M's not on me, on us
But that type of shit don't show up on a stat sheet
I'm drivin', can't nobody ride up in the backseat
'Cause that backdoor open and I can't let 'em catch me that sweet
Stand like a man, do you understand?
Create a fist from your hand, do you understand?
And never quit on your plans, do you understand?
We can't get rich off this land, do you understand?
Don't know what it mean to you
