What keeps you alive, what keeps you goin' and growin'?
Let me see
I feel like Andre, on his first payday
We was hire that night, Friday night
Never let me slip hold me tight
They got eyes on me, pistols poppin' bodies droppin'
My society is devoured by the rich and famous
I hope they see how many times a nigger try
And momma don't you cry we don't die, we learn to fly
YAH YAH YAH YAH!
Singin' Singin'
Songs of liberation
Everyday I dream about the Benz, and a fine lady I can ride with
Sippin' on water, talkin' to my daughter
Composin, exposin, opposin the killers of my people
The reason we ain't equal, I don't hate the white man
The leaders are snakes of all races
It won't pop overnight but through successive stages we prolly gon get there
Just keep your head high and never show fear
The truth doesn't live here, just another way to keep you trapped in this loop
But most importantly to keep you far away from yourself
The enemy has revised his strategy to control your energy
Makin it hard for you to seek internally
But luckily I'm on the other side flirtin' with the stars
I cannot follow your rules, my roots still attached to the ground
It's that 4d sound reporting live from the underground
Pistols poppin, bodies droppin my society is devoured by the rich and famous
They got eyes on me
YA YA YA YA!
Singin' singin'
Songs of liberation
YA YA YA YA!
Singin' singin'
Songs of liberation
I hope they see how many times a nigger try
And momma don't you cry we don't die we learn to fly
