lyrics

Hook
There ain’t no easy way
I know its dark outside
I can see the morning in your eyes
Maybe it’s meant to be
Heaven ain’t a lottery
We will never know until we try
Verse 1
Success….is what we all aim for…in it?
The cars, the clothes, women, accounts just filled with millions
Chilling like villains in villas surely ain’t nothing iller
Keeping up with all the bills, damn right ain’t nothing realer
Yeah…but for starters man we got to work harder
And as a people always treat others as an equal
Be smart, stay educated, save paper for stormy laters
Cos you don’t want to be the one who’s hating on your neighbors
Like a crazy home invader who robs you for all your labor
Now you feeling kinda jumpy like getting shocked from a Taser
A picture perfect image comes with a certain percentage
So it’s best to utilize every option to your advantage
Never taking life for granted cos it’s just not worth the damage
Even under duress circumstances I know that we can manage
G6 conditions is certainly the ambition
Past the stars is the limit, never settle for a gimmick

Repeat the Hook

Verse 2
With Martin Luther’s dream, our thoughts became things
Like having a black president amongst other things
Preaching equal equalities,
leaving in perfect harmony
But still money still kills cos we live in a wack economy
Police still terrorizing black people like genociding
The mission to wipe us out
Like roaches by pesticiding
Involuntary pesterising to get you angry and wilding
Then shoot you and call you violent
and send you straight to the island
Then institutionalize you to get you dumber not wiser
Flood the streets with drugs like Pfizer
I think its time that we rise up
Infiltrate these corporations that sending us to damnation
Before the government’s evil deeds probably destroy this whole nation

Repeat Hook Til Fade
