Resilience (Lyrics)
(Verse 1)
It's funny how words hit harder than bullets / never understood it / that's how these wars get started / and in between that / young n***as became a target / sensitivity at an all time high/ as they go about their lives as we watch time fly to get by/ they be stacking milli's over 10 times ye high/ constantly reminded of / hard times fed time/ I don't trip though/ maybe my time next time / see/ can't change sh** without monetary leverage / to that I'm invested/ I used to roam reckless / but that's off the checklist / we ain't even got time to practice / these coppers shoot at us just for practice / no mistakes to learn from / you could end up in a box/ stupid enough to put your life savings on a watch/ thinking neighborhood watch/ I'm on some new black panther sh** / rebellious til these motherf**as stop ugh
(Chorus)
We tired of putting our hands up
Hands up
We tired of putting our hands up
Hands up
Tired of fighting for peace
Before they k** us all we burn down these streets
Hey yo
2X
(Verse 2)
Now what you gon' cry about it or go get it / so ridiculous fighting battles that's forfeited / see/ self preservation is key/ young girl you worth more than likes on ig/ no man above me beneath me what I preach / teach Merryll linch / and not trip over past tense what make sense / my young n***as is trapping outta basement / these old heads is b**hing like they caged in
Get it right pa get it right haha
Pause...
Power and prestige , clasism and greed / in a nutshell that's all the f** we breathe / damaged from the root / contaminated seeds / no bank with a village of mouth to feed/ see we crabs in the bucket though/ attitude was f** it though/ can't change the mental though/ embedded in our brains to be so cynical / your right hand will back stab ya/ a generation of kids with vendettas who sing along to trap tunes like its taboo to be clever/ f**ing followers claiming they trend setters / fake activist , opportunist / role models turned rapists/ white supremist / all in the same category / no judgement I'm just trying to be Godly plus I know it'll cost me / with no spins from the bosses / no applause from the frauds / n***a I'll take that charge yo
Repeat (Chorus)
Outro
They can't stop us
Who gon' stop us
Who gon' stop us
They can't stop us
