KDoubleU - How We Gon' Rise lyrics

[Intro] Yo yo It's a great question man How we gon' rise Keep doing sh** like this, yea It's crazy man but yo I just got one question for ya'll [Hook] How we gon rise when we keep k**ing our brothers People die gone into permanent slumber After gettin hit wit hollow points that's hot as summer People lose relatives that's a mothaf**in' bummer Christ, it's crazy people abandoned as babies And it seems nowadays man everything is shady People go ape sh** just to get quick dough Turn they back on they fam goddamn the sh**s cold [Verse 1] Morning to night and night back to morning A persons life, straight up getting aborted People treating k**ing like a grand performance n***as get popped everyday for a pair of Jordans People put too much worth on a pair of Nikes Than they do on the importance of someones life It's true, don't deny it take a look at the violence People gotta speak up ain't no time to be silent Crime straight up spreading like wild fire All for the sole purpose of getting what they desire I said sole for a reason cuz the Jordans and Nikes Are only some of the reasons people are stormin at night It's crazy and sad cuz we got brothers in the street Cuz everyones motherf**in' mothers gotta eat But life ain't worth losing or throwing it away for shoes Use your God given gift to try to make it through, word life [Hook] How we gon rise when we keep k**ing our brothers People die gone into permanent slumber After gettin hit wit hollow points thats hot as summer People lose relatives that's a mothaf**in' bummer Christ, it's crazy people abandoned as babies And it seems nowadays man everything is shady People go ape sh** just to get quick dough Turn they back on they fam goddamn the sh**s cold [Verse 2] People growing up straight criminal minded When it comes to morals straight up just blinded Cuz there's people out there with no food to eat Had to drop this message and use this beat This is not something that the schools just teach This is a message delivered to you from me We gotta lift each other up instead of the opposite And even when it looks dark try to stay positive This song bringing the kind of message Pac would bring If a persons got purpose there's no way of stoppin' him Don't k** for shoes and throw ya life away You're here for a reason shine bright and make A difference, in life they'll always be resistance But triumph, and work hard with God as your witness Stay strong, we all got a destiny to accomplish And no matter what the enemy tries he can't stop it!
