Mario - Rewrite It Lyrics

They got us, yeah

Got us stuck in a system
That we 'bout to get out of
That's word to my maker
The story was made up
How do you be sleeping
My people need to wake up
You play with your life
Then they give you life
Or they take your life
How you gonna fight?
Not with guns and weapons
See that brother you just killed
Can't leave his nose bleeding
He's a soldier, you gon' need him

So f*ck the facades and reparations
Won't let you design my revelations
You don't understand our reservation
I won't be sleep, I want to see us like
We kings and queens, our proclamation
My sons and daughters, procreation
Uncover your eyes, you'll see the vision
Uncover your eyes, it's just the beginning

Rewrite it (rewrite)
Rewriting the hold damn history
Rewriting the things that were taught to me
You see the whole damn world
It's time for us to rewrite it (rewrite it)
We writing and rewriting the hold damn history
We're rewriting the lies that was told to me
So come on, rewrite it (rewrite)
We right, yeah, rewrite it

Ah, yeah, put some respect on my case
They should never get out
With their families just laughing
While mamas cry over caskets
It's just that real it's no doubt
Niggas 'bout to wil' out

So f*ck your facades and reparations
Won't let you design my revelations
You don't understand my preservation
No, I won't be sleep, no

Don't tell me how to express my pain
You know it ain't fair, you couldn't handle this hell
You see all this love in the world
Maybe if you look deep inside of your soul
It'll help you see the night, oh

Rewrite it (rewrite)
Rewriting the hold damn history
Rewriting the things that were taught to me
You see the whole damn world
It's time for us to rewrite it (rewrite it)
We writing and rewriting the hold damn history
We're rewriting the lies that was told to me
So come on, rewrite it (rewrite)
We right, yeah, rewrite it
