[Malcom X intro]
Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Uh
[Verse 1]
Waking up to a brand new day
Thanking God, I'm alive, and it feels great
Took a look outside, sun on my face
Light up my soul, and it'll lead the way
Cause I ain't ever had a dream like this before
I saw Dr.King speaking at my funeral
It's got me wondering when, just when I'm a go
Guess I'll never know, gotta keep my hope
And n***as on in they lives to wanna g**n
Kids grow up then they want to do the same
Switch up lanes, flippin the rules of the game
We still k**ing each other, some things will never change
Better use your brain before they take it from yah
Do the math they tryna to make us numbers
Divide us up and now we losing brothers
One by one they tryna to pull us under
Just another way to keep your mind locked up in a cell
How will we prevail, if we living in hell
Heard them say only time will tell, well
I waited long enough, how far do I gotta go
Feeling compelled to change the world, its yearning in my soul
Say no mo', if it ain't from the heart than what you speaking fo'
Gotta keep it trill even in the booth, homeboy, and that's fasho
Blessed, for the time I'm given
Making it my daily mission
To spit the real and keep it ill for all of those who listen
[Bridge]
Uh, and you should know
Life is more than living and just getting dough
Life is more than the money, cars, and the clothes
Better live your life and try to free you soul, you should know, ay
(x2)
[Hook]
Yeah, so gon' tell me what you know
Yeah, gon' tell me what you know
Yeah, you gotta know before you go
Yeah, but I don't think they know
(x2)
[Verse 2]
Back-back again, so don't ask who it is
Will BElieve, the rap activist
Fighting for the people, like I'm Malcolm X
But its me against the world, like 2Pacalypse
Lifting up my fist, cause now we got the power
Taking back what's mine because the world is ours
Standing as a man before I die as a coward
When you talk from your heart, you gotta speak up louder
And now I see what it is, what it will be
When you play the game listen to the OGs
I did the same thang, cause they came before me
And told me, that in life nothing gon' be fo' free
It's like Monopoly, we all want property
Tryna hit the lottery ain't tryna hit the dollar tree
But like the seed, I'm what rose from the concrete
Living life in the sky for the world to see
Off the ground, ain't never coming down
Roll a backwoods, and we pa** em all around
It's so loud, the Boom Pow make you want to scream "Wow"
Tried to quit a million times, but I don't know how
Uh, just caught up in the life
Trying to get my mind right, living for the night
But holding on, steady strong with my third sight
With the vision from above, following the light
Uh, hope you BElieving
You got dreams, hope you achieve them
You got to do it yourself, you don't need no help
Cause in the end people change like seasons
Uh, and we still alive
Cause through it all I still survive
I made it through the rain and been through the flame
With good music I still provide
