Take It There
Yeah, come stand up, stretch for the stars
Get somebody else involved right next to ya
Y'all elected me to keep it so fresh for ya
Just 'cause I make it possible for the rest of ya
To just take it there come on and get your head ringin'
From the sting of the snare, spine tingle elevating every singular hair
All the way from South Philly on a wing and prayer
And still bringin' it yeah
Come on take it here
Come on take it here
Let's take it here
Come on take it here
I'm from the side of town where shots get sprayed around
Where the expectancy rate be twenty-eight around
Downtown battleground where cops parade around
Have your whole view of life beyond jaded
How everybody sick of breaking down, tryin' a make it out
Hand over fist the only way to get the paper down
People tired of gettin' pushed around, gettin' gangsta now
Discipline the only way to bring some kinda change around
Chain cirgarette smokin' with bad nerves
And brothas with bad lungs from smokin' mad herb
Whoever in the dark is unseen and heard
Let's submerge, I can feel something close we on the verge
Talkin' 'bout, to my street sweepers, hotel housekeepers
And my people spillin' this out through jail house speakers
Some people rather use than might than use heaters
Some people rather lose they life than lose freedom for real
Come on take it here
Let's take it here
Come on take it here
Come on take it here
Let's take it here
I'ma take it here
Come on take it here
Come on take it here
Society's time bomb laying dormant
Our people disenfranchised for the free world
Oil for food but they still hungry, no democracy
They said one vote equals one voice
But he told you if he can't work to make it
He'll rob to take it, the villains
Abandoning the planet and the people
Another hot summer yo, they 'bout to flood the prisons
This ain't no Bo Diddley, it's a do somethin'
Flash light, red light, proceed ahead right
Straight into them headlights, you get your head right
Head right get a third strike, hit the turnpike
Life quicker than spliff that wouldn't burn right
Make you wanna holla 'bout it, it ain't no doubt about it
Every now and then you gotta stand up and shout about it
And I'll be shoutin' it to, as if a shout'll count
Yo they got accountin' to do, re-amount the ballot
The shit more puzzlin' than a jigsaw
Raw pitbulls hustlin' through the pitfalls
Some of y'all toys let the laughter rip roar
Heart felt truth in every lyric I spit forth, raise up time to lift off
Written on a lega pad, poetry that sizzle the clip board
My OG, my homey who taught me to deal
Said a prayer that's the only time you should ever kneel
And that's real, I'm a take it there
Come on take it here
Let's take it here
Come on take it here
Come on take it here
Let's take it here
Come on take it here
I'ma take it here
Come on take it here
Let's take it here
Get somebody else involved right next to ya
Y'all elected me to keep it so fresh for ya
Just 'cause I make it possible for the rest of ya
To just take it there come on and get your head ringin'
From the sting of the snare, spine tingle elevating every singular hair
All the way from South Philly on a wing and prayer
And still bringin' it yeah
Come on take it here
Come on take it here
Let's take it here
Come on take it here
