Talib Kweli - Go lyrics

[Nelly] Life... what is it for real? [Ali] I don't know... yo It's like hate takin over but hold up, what is it over? Suicide, man that's the devil tryin to control us They told us but we ain't notice the pain was sittin on they shoulders The world is just too polar, they'd rather live in the solar System got us hopeless, they focus on foreclosures Wake up and smell the Folgers Obama bring home the soldiers Osama, you owe us, the 9/11 was bogus Now we right back at him, save the world is our motive C'mon... [Nelly] Yeah, wake up early in the streets of the block (streets of the block) He posted up on the corner like a soldier in a drill but it won't stop Yeah, livin life in the battlefield (battlefield) Hmm, tryin to survive every day and every night is the same deal Cause, life's strange (life's strange) time changes (time changes) But karma always finds a way Stay strong (stay strong) hold on (hold on) And don't let all your dreams fade away [Interlude: Nelly] Yeah life can beat you down What goes, it comes around It's not how you hit the ground It's how fast you get back up, and [Hook: Nelly] Go! Keep goin, sometimes it feel like I'm givin my life away And it gets hard, and harder, the happiness is worth the wait Cause all I want is a better day Cause all I want is a better way, hey [Nelly] A lot of mothers they just don't understand (they just don't understand) Yeah, they think we hard on our sons but we gotta teach our boys how to be a man Yeah, they on they own when they walk out the door (when they walk out the door) Mm, see we can show 'em how to fire but they gotta teach theyself how to reload Cause, unemployment's higher than it's ever been Sometimes it feels like I can't win And even though all the rules keep changin I'm stronger now than I was when I came in [Interlude] + [Hook] [Talib Kweli] Hey, hey Rollin through the back streets like we got beef A carnival for carnivores with the sharp teeth They animalistic, that's why we call the cops beast They on the hunt cause they hungry for the dark meat I'm rappin to my heartbeat, the brain is the ba** The heart is the drum; give the drummer some Promise of a better life is all I got to give I ain't just tryin to survive, I'm tryin to live [Nelly] Cause all I want is a better way, hey If you're not prepared the world can be so cold All that you can do is your best and just hope (yeah) In time the truth will show, just stick to what you know Get a grip on somethin real, and never let it GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! [Hook] - 2X
