Renagade'

Well survival is for survival
Ya know in this time especially
Going through so much struggle
Ya know when you struggle
You struggle to survive
So we always knew struggle
And survival is a reality
Cause we have to survive

Babylon behind the confusion
Look how they gwan corrupt
The whole nation (Babylon)
Sending the nation's
Them to they're devastation
But by the powers of Jah
That could never happen
(Babylon)

You know it's funny
When it rains it pours
You got money for wars
But can't feed the poor
(Im a renagade)
Babylon behind the confusion
Look how they gwan
Corrupt the whole nation
(Babylon)
You know it's funny

We out here at the door
We sick of asking for more
We bout to settle the score
Or burn it down to the floor
Up to now you've ignored
The plight that we have endured
We survive cause we strong
And kept our faith in the lord
But now times have changed
But remain in chains
Poverty be the bar
That keeps us locked in our brains
While lack of knowledge
A culture that we have maintained
We need to break the cycle
That caused so much pain
My people rise up
For the glory you where meant for
Know your true worth
And realize you are much more
Then anything they could ever
Try to tame
Our souls are on fire
And our spirit's inflamed
We sick of being tired
While they reaping all the gain
Then filling up the jails
With my brothers
This shits insane
I blame it on poverty
They blame it on the gangs
They screaming democracy
I can see it's all games
I'm a renagade

You know it's funny
When it rains it pours
You got money for wars
But can't feed the poor

Another day another dollar
Outta fifteen cents
You better try and multiply
Cause now a dollar aint shit
Fuck a President
Cause he aint bout to help
With the rent
All the bills are still here
When the money is spent
Start axein these taxes
Or I'm a have to keep jackin
I can't get no satisfaction
Without stacking a grip
When that monkey on my back
Start cracking the whip
I'm taking a risk
A package to flip
And three runners
If the cost of living go up
So should my numbers
It's survival of the fittest
Against government hunters
Be at it all year
Not only in hot summers
Camouflaged in the open
Some of them walk among us
Under pressure everyday
To get paid
So my crooked ass life
Keep da family straight
Some walk the line
Mines the edge of a razor blade
I don't need to learn
The rules of the game
Just the tricks of the trade

You know it's funny
When it rains it pours
You got money for wars
But can't feed the poor
(I'm a renagade)

I lead from the front
And still get it off the back end
Dying economics
Got my brothas doing backbends
I'd rather politic
And teach da youth
How to stack ends
They wanna see us suffer
But im woke
Behind this mac ten
Why I cant strive and educate
Like Shabazz and them
Why they wanna stop me
If I aint ride passenger
Makin life decisions
About eatin
Or just gassin up
You better than the rest
They tell you
Go back to Africa
Late night maskin up
We out here on the frontline
Fist in the air
You gotta take it
If you want mine
Lookin at me different
It's guerilla in my bloodline
Thats why I beat my chest
When I'm threatened
By the gun line
By any means necessary
Thats the realist vow
I ever made
They took away the shackles
And used media as a barricade
Mantis im rockin with you
on me, that can never fade
J Paul and Brotha M.A.C
I got ya back
I'm a muthafuckin renegade
