|
We try our best to survive |
|
(We ain't runnin' away) |
|
And keep our heads to the sky |
|
(Y'all never will lead us astray) |
|
Kiss that stress and depression goodbye |
|
(Chase all of our troubles away) |
|
If we could just get it right |
|
(Then everything, it should be okay) |
|
Oh okay |
|
Do away with the clubs and the drug spots |
|
Do away with the judge and the mug shots |
|
Like we do away with the day when the sun drops |
|
Clap your hands if you tired of hearin' gunshots |
|
Or hearin' news about who got popped |
|
By another black man or knockin' a white cop |
|
If I ain't there when it start, I'm there when the fight stop like ock |
|
Slow your roll or be cold as a ice pop, ya |
|
We gotta start helpin' each other, quit hurtin' each other |
|
Money'll have a ***** thinkin' 'bout murkin' his mother |
|
How does it feel bein' slaves to a dollar bill? |
|
Givin' you somethin y'all can feel, are y'all for real? |
|
Do away with all the Chinese restaurants |
|
Do away with all the fake Gloria Estefan's |
|
Clap your hands if you gettin' up in some real estate |
|
Buy the crib ma, the Benz with the wheels could wait |
|
I 'member I used to instigate |
|
Now I'm the one breakin' up the fight |
|
Makin' sure that detention's straight |
|
Will let a ***** get the heart to push me |
|
I'll snuff the biggest ***** with him |
|
Show him that his partner ***** |
|
You ain't got to be soft to be compete |
|
I'm like the Martin Luther King then I knock out some teeth |
|
Now I'ma flip it and *****ft it, give it prolific |
|
Case *****s just get it twisted, forget that I'm so gifted |
|
Do away with the jails and the group homes |
|
Like we did away with the shells and the two-tone |
|
Clap your hands if you lovin' that Just Blaze *****t |
|
'Cause we don't just make songs, we make statements |
|
We try our best to survive |
|
(We ain't runnin' away) |
|
And keep our heads to the sky |
|
(Y'all never will lead us astray) |
|
Kiss that stress and depression goodbye |
|
(Chase all of our troubles away) |
|
If we could just get it right |
|
(Then everything, it should be okay) |
|
Oh okay |
|
Do away with the hip-hop police force |
|
***** the pigs, I was taught not to eat pork |
|
Clap your hands if you ain't forget where you came from |
|
Clap again if you ready to see a change come |
|
I used to live in the same slum |
|
As Mike Tyson and Rid***** Bowe |
|
That's where the knuckle game from |
|
Spring Valley had the same bums |
|
We had to stay in, I ain't hang late |
|
'Cause we ain't have a income |
|
Now I be on the track like when the train come |
|
And I don't rap to just jaw-jack, ***** I be sayin' somethin' |
|
And with my man Just Bliggity Blaze |
|
You're just about to witness history made |
|
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap |
|
Clap your hands if you lovin' that Just Blaze *****t |
|
(Clap) |
|
Clap, y'all, clap, let's, let's, let's go |
|
We try our best to survive |
|
(We ain't runnin' away) |
|
And keep our heads to the sky |
|
(Y'all never will lead us astray) |
|
Kiss that stress and depression goodbye |
|
(Chase all of our troubles away) |
|
If we could just get it right |
|
(Then everything, it should be okay) |
|
Oh okay |
|
Oh okay |
|
(Um) |
|
Oh okay, we're tryin our best to survive |
|
Oh okay, tell me when we're gonna get it right |
|
Oh okay, just keep our heads to the sky |
|
Oh okay, kiss that stress and depression goodbye |

Oh okay, oh okay, oh okay, oh okay |

Oh okay, Hallelujah, holla back at me if you hear me now |
|
Oh okay, oh okay, oh okay, oh okay |
