Up Against Odds

No justice no peace
No justice no peace
No justice no peace
No justice no peace
No justice no peace
No justice no peace
No justice no peace
No justice no peace
Might sound heroic
A poet a sinner I know it
Was pouring a 4 in a soda
Back in the day when I noted
I'm in a different time
I'm in a different mind
Maturity growing
So is my faith
If you notice my rhymes
One of God's chosen
You notice my kind
Prophet like Moses I fall from the vine
Pray the Divine keep giving me life
As I make toast raising my wine
Just found a wife
Before I was blind
Yet I don't regret it
It just took some time
I had to refine
Remove all the ills
Knock down the walls reveal how I feel
Establish a trust that one day will heal
Create a life that one day will build
Aligning my focus
The people are hoping
I'm tired of the chokings
They think that we joking
Nat Turner revolt
The heat get to smoking
The cycle keep going
The cycle keep going
I'm tired of the war
Who really gone hear us?
They think we in fear
But really they fear us
We turn into them
They look in the mirrors
The picture gets clearer
(The picture gets clearer)
Gotta stay prayed up
Stayed up
Many nights like
Dear Lord save us
Make it alright
Gone through the worst
Pink bills no lights
All I ever did was pick fights no flights
Even in the dark felt calm no fright
Still has to question like
"is this life?"
While dancing with the devil
In a pale moonlight
And jokers all around
Like it's Batman's plight
We up against odds
I studied they moves
I figured them out
Just look in they eyes
They souls are weak
No working it out
Yeah those are the ops
The demons are running
With no place to hide
I'm spiritually gunning
And taking 'em down
Like Florida Gun laws
Standing my ground
We up against odds
I studied they moves
I figured them out
Just look in they eyes
They souls are weak
No working it out
Yeah those are the ops
The demons are running
With no place to hide
I'm spiritually gunning
And taking 'em down
Like Florida Gun laws
Standing my ground
Back by surprise
I know a lot of y'all
Thought I was gone
Had a lot on my mind
My heart was cold
Started turning to stone
I remember the time
When police killed
A fifteen year old
Up the street from my home may
Jordan Edwards live on aye
First time I met Kirk
The impact was heavy
I'm praying in church
Like this is the worse
Trying to understand
Why we put on this earth
It felt like a curse
But I know the Lord
He still blessing me
Genesis 15:14 it reads
He'll judge the nation
That I believe
Yeah
Tell me what is it worth
To gain the world
And then lose your soul
While they fight over power
Never realizing they not in control
The meek shall inherit
The Word was spoken
And the seed was planted
And this is apparent
To believers who receive
Christ as the standard
Just study His ways
Some times I know I feel
Trapped in a maze
Looking at the news
Still in a daze
Division in the church
Wish it would change
But this is the prophecy
Gotta be ready and sharp
Protecting your heart
Consider the cost
In whatever you start
Be light in the dark
Cause we are the salt
We up against odds
I studied they moves
I figured them out
Just look in they eyes
They souls are weak
No working it out
Yeah those are the ops
The demons are running
With no place to hide
I'm spiritually gunning
And taking 'em down
Like Florida Gun laws
Standing my ground
We up against odds
I studied they moves
I figured them out
Just look in they eyes
They souls are weak
No working it out
Yeah those are the ops
The demons are running
With no place to hide
I'm spiritually gunning
And taking 'em down
Like Florida Gun laws
Standing my ground
We up against odds
(Biden) You got more questions
But I tell you if you gotta problem
Figuring out if you're for me or Trump
Then you ain't Black.
