Needlz - Lightning lyrics

[Hook: Colin Munroe] Don't look back ‘cause we're all like lightning Here today, then we're gone like lightning Light up the sky and live for something Everyone lives, only few become lightning Don't look back ‘cause we're all like lightning Here today, then we're gone like lightning Light up the sky and live for something Everyone lives, only few become lightning [Verse 1: Donnis] If you stand for nothing, you'll fall for it all, times is hard These people is losing they jobs, my Homegirl Michelle out here Losing her mom and nah, they ain't got a cure for cancer Her little sister looking up to me for answers All I can do is sit her down and read her the pamphlet But what I'm supposed to say when her mama just vanish? Gone in an instant, God, if you hear this, I need your a**istance I wanna be different but all they wanna hear about is d** and pimp sh** Who gon' make a difference? I guess these n***as came with the wrong intentions Manolo got fired, they ain't give him his pension Eight years out in Couveya, he played his position And now he serving things just to make him a living We here on a mission and it starts in the mirror, Lord, can you hear my prayer? [Hook] [Verse 2: Donnis] When I say this, some people may start to hate me Scared to get a government money to get a Haiti Saw what they did with FEMA, scared to be a believer Donnis no longer rapper, nah, now I'd rather be teacher The day I saw my preacher in a Phantom with security guards He said what up Don? I just gave him a nod Do we need all these things to get closer to God? Then my Auntie Taj bought us Gucci ties, see, where she reside is where dreams die And they don't resurrect, they live in them projects And them government projects don't help ‘em the way you think Sometimes I just think that they just want us to lose I see how we depicted on the six o'clock news They feed us d** and booze until we dazed and confused Damn, I refuse to become another statistic to get caught in the system [Hook]
