(feat. Monifa) Intro: Yeah Close your eyes, fly with me Spark your lye, get high with me Raise your gla** with me Come inside see Come on, come on Close your eyes, let fly with me Light your lye, get high with me Raise your gla**es Verse 1: AZ Yo, blesses to the young ones trapped in the world Never hate the next man that be tappin your girl It's just a hype, shoot anythings a man vision thru life Help me to understand the chosen ones livin thru Christ Blinded time from so many signs shown from greed Tryin to calculate all the funds I blown from weed Started out just a young shorty, wakin the rules Turnin out to be the wise, educatin the fools So many lost in these last days, closed curtains Tryin to change from my past ways, I'm soul searchin Diggin deep, tryin to feel within, it's real ill Takin time just to chill with friends we still bill Always told when I kick it with moms, to stay strong Watch out for them b**hes that's wicked, they play wrong Keep your game strong, maintain yourself and live Star bless the kids, soon sometin gotta give Chorus: Monifa The last days, are comin Towards you, it's time to build I need a time that's real The last days, are comin Towards you, it's time to build AZ turnin the deal Verse 2: AZ You got to know when your end is near, I been there Seen years disappear in thin air, nobody wins here Swore on the population, we fightin blind For sure, we need to stop the hatin, enlightin minds Many die from a tragic d**h, in cold blood Behoggin n***as lost or lack respect, show love Sometime I wonder, was we ever free? High officials they move so cleverly, don't ever sleep Got my mind on the proverbs, ecclesiastics These Bible words, so absurb, I read em backwards They open doors, gave me a cause to stay swift And reward, it gave me the sword to stay rich Understandin is the best part, besides that I fell-a off to a fresh start, no time to sidetrack So much more still to come, it seems strange I was much more iller young, but things change Tryin to grow old, so many sights to see Told it never fold, just more righteously, you know? Chorus Verse 3: AZ I never knew any Bloods and Crips, but they exist In New York, it's just thugs and clicks, we offer tips Makin moves, tryin to stay afloat, it get deep In these streets, you either stay or walk, or get beat So strategise like the wise king, respect due Brothers get high and let they mind scheme, I got Tek cool In this world where so many stress, understand ain't nuttin left but the thoughts of d**h, we're sons of man So off track it's a shame to see, it's open season Got police movin dangerously, for no reason Hopin soon we can all adapt, get wise It build lies, it was all a trap, in disguise Assa**inated by my own kind, so why ask Because blacks to have a closed mind, deal with facts Keep your eyes open, never rock yourself to sleep Love to the East, let the dead rest in peace Chorus (x2) Outro: Monifa We gotta do, what we gotta do Brothers, sisters, you gotta wake up, you gotta wake up Ain't nothin gonna come from this We gotta make it right now, we gotta make it right now, now Oooohoho, think about them babies Yeah, think about the babies Ooooohh, what kind of.......
