How We Gon' Rise

Yo yo
It’s a great question man
How we gon' rise
Keep doing shit like this, yea
It’s crazy man but yo
I just got one question for ya’ll
How we gon rise when we keep killing our brothers
People die gone into permanent slumber
After gettin hit wit hollow points that’s hot as summer
People lose relatives that’s a mothafuckin' bummer
Christ, it’s crazy people abandoned as babies
And it seems nowadays man everything is shady
People go ape shit just to get quick dough
Turn they back on they fam goddamn the shits cold
Morning to night and night back to morning
A persons life, straight up getting aborted
People treating killing like a grand performance
Niggas get popped everyday for a pair of Jordans
People put too much worth on a pair of Nikes
Than they do on the importance of someones life
It’s true, don’t deny it take a look at the violence
People gotta speak up ain’t no time to be silent
Crime straight up spreading like wild fire
All for the sole purpose of getting what they desire
I said sole for a reason cuz the Jordans and Nikes
Are only some of the reasons people are stormin at night
It’s crazy and sad cuz we got brothers in the street
Cuz everyones motherfuckin' mothers gotta eat
But life ain’t worth losing or throwing it away for shoes
Use your God given gift to try to make it through, word life
How we gon rise when we keep killing our brothers
People die gone into permanent slumber
After gettin hit wit hollow points thats hot as summer
People lose relatives that’s a mothafuckin' bummer
Christ, it’s crazy people abandoned as babies
And it seems nowadays man everything is shady
People go ape shit just to get quick dough
Turn they back on they fam goddamn the shits cold
People growing up straight criminal minded
When it comes to morals straight up just blinded
Cuz there’s people out there with no food to eat
Had to drop this message and use this beat
This is not something that the schools just teach
This is a message delivered to you from me
We gotta lift each other up instead of the opposite
And even when it looks dark try to stay positive
This song bringing the kind of message Pac would bring
If a persons got purpose there’s no way of stoppin' him
Don’t kill for shoes and throw ya life away
You’re here for a reason shine bright and make
A difference, in life they’ll always be resistance
But triumph, and work hard with God as your witness
Stay strong, we all got a destiny to accomplish
And no matter what the enemy tries he can’t stop it!
