Lyrics

I started rapping sometime in my pre-teens
Listening to hip-hop, I started to see things
No street dreams, can't kill my own people
A beat fiend that uses music to speak through
I teach views of expressionalism
The best with the rhythm, can't rap with empty decision
I step to the system, you caught in the fakeness
That's tasteless, I'm spitting real equations and phrases
But you're mad when I say this
Like Down Syndrome patients, why all the long faces?
You rich and famous but live in misery
'Cause life's basis can't be filled superficially
I hit the streets with the message while they oppress us
Contest us and they leave us stressed, yes
But best yet, we can all come together
Fight the endeavor, take it higher, whatever
We gon' make it
And we gon' take it
And we gon' make it
Uh-huh, it's like that
And I'm gone
We gon' make it
And we gon' take it
And we gon' make it
Uh-huh, it's like that
And I'm gone
It's a new day, so live in reality
'Cause life's a lot bigger than the price of your salary
Fantasies of buying nice cars
But why? You can't afford a house with a nice yard
Be smart and break normal standards
Don't be infatuated with all you see on camera
Can't stand the way things are going
Let's start growing, knowing, then, uh, opposing
I'm hoping to get minds open
Quit posing 'cause the youth are the chosen
We're smoking and drinking our minds away
Ain't gonna preach, just look at your life today
We gon' make it
And we gon' take it
And we gon' make it
Uh-huh, it's like that
And I'm gone
We gon' take it
And we gon' make it
And we gon' take it
Uh-huh, it's like that
And I'm gone
We've been surrounded by corporate trickery
But in the midst of this, I had an epiphany
The industry ain't ready for us to rep it
And this label thing ain't exactly what I expected
Independent, harder than I thought it would be
But you gotta work hard if you wanna be free
Honestly, we've broken all boundaries
Opening mental states 'til you found your peace
The sound just speaks to your consciousness
Forget pop stars and they pompousness
I watch the kids and my heart saddens
'Cause society's, it's destroying they thought patterns
What matters? Vision distorted
Most forget about they problems, what's important
Ignorance given to the subscriber
But if you look deeper, what? You can take it
We gon' make it
And we gon' take it
And we gon' make it
Uh-huh, it's like that
And I'm gone
We gon' take it
And we gon' make it
And we gon' take it
Uh-huh, it's like that
And I'm gone
Oh my God, it comes from outside high walls and fancy gates
It comes from a place you know about maybe from the movies
But I come from out there
Everybody out there knows everybody lies
Cops lie, slaves lie
Tenants lie
The one thing you can count on
