Uhh.. regulate nigga
Bravehearts nigga
Live for this
Some of
y'all don't live at all
Get yours nigga
Get yours baby
Uhh yo.. yo..
As the night close down on the Earth like gray dark rings
Light of cities in
the nights destination for Kings
with big dreams like Castro
overthrew Bautista
from Cuba and pointed nukes toward the U.S.
About to
shoot us for revolution; that's how you gotta move
A lot of rules, some locked in solitude
Curse the day of they birth confused, who's to be praised?
The mighty dollar -- or
almighty Allah
I'm like the farmer, plantin words, people are seeds
My truth is the
soil; help you grow like trees
May the children come in all colors, change like leaves
but hold before you, one of those, prophetic MC's
with blunted flows, seven hundred
souls in me
Each channelin, from past to present times, heaven shines
light on
those, innocent to how the world grows
Some men become murderers, and some girls become hoes
And you accounted for, everything that you heard
Do not speak to fools; they scorn
the wisdom of your words
My heart is wise, bloodshot eyes, the saga never dies
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise
Ghetto prisoners
rise rise rise
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise
Ghetto prisoners..
Yo
we gotta be God's children, habitats in tall buildings
Rats crawl in filthy hallways,
incinerators
Sinners who faithless, still there's hope, pray it's answered
Dreams
turned real - what's a wicked nation?
One with blind men - not takin charge of the situation
Empty arguments and real conversations needed
The world'll need it, to hear it
Evil tries to weaken my spirit - it's chronic herb
This hurt come from the honest
word
I now try hardest to serve my maker, what I learned
find it's way on the paper,
so I could dictate it
Articulate it, luckily - I was put on one of the ships that made it
through strong currents and winds that left the others stranded
to sink in the
Atlantic
Satan jigs the planet, not to get too religious, but
who decides when and
if your life is finished?
If Christ is in this, for the sake of your name, oh Lord
may we break away from the chains abroad
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise
Ghetto prisoners..
get up, wake up, rise
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise
Ghetto prisoners rise rise
rise
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise
Ghetto prisoners..
You wanna
buy time? I'm the seller of minutes
I give you every second low-priced, if I so lies; the
truth is
Time waits for none of you, in fact
he can't wait for the date to snatch
the ground right from under you
Small visions of better life if cheddar was right
lurk in the mind, of young ones ahead of they time
Trapped in the slums, beggin for nuttin
but takin
Headed for nuttin but the state pen, where they cousins be waitin
Judges
is not relatin to pleas, guns bustin where the kids play
Richochet off lamp poles and leave
damp holes
in bystanders, get cancelled, D.O.A.
Around the way where we from
Hope the future reduce the rate of those buried young
Life is every man's kingdom, a dyin
man's past
and a newborn's, first time to be here at last
And shouldn't have to grow
up fast, and suffer our pain
Hustlin harder than the generations here before he came
Goin through the same bullshit as our fathers
Readin history, but who's the authors?
For some the game is easy, for most of us the game is much harder
But never lose faith;
through the years just get smarter
Ghetto prisoners.. ghetto prisoners..
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise
Ghetto prisoners
rise rise rise
Ghetto prisoners.. get up, wake up, rise
Ghetto prisoners rise rise
rise
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise
