Cause we the ones for real
It's not what we think
It's about how we feel
Make no mistake
We on our way to new days
We the ones for real
It's not what we think
It's about how we feel
No they can't
They can't steal my light
Oh, it's our lives
We gone shine
Cause we the ones for real
It's not what we think
It's about how we feel
Make no mistake
We're on our way to new days
Thinking of ways
That we can we change the narrative
The goal is to leave an inheritance
And break the vicious cycle
That's been plaguing us
Corrupted systems
With no justice given
Then we suffer vicious
Incarcerated we stuck in prison
Murder rate increases
On a shirt they leave ya rip
Woman play conceited
Baby daddies leaving all i see
Homicide leading
Cause of death
We do it to our self
Come inside
Kids cant even play
No more just by the steps
Lucky if you live to see
21 it's savage
I see one two three brothers
Lying in the casket
Mothers crying tragic
How we stop the madness
Why we moving backwards
We no longer captive
Need to focus on what matters
Odds are stacked against us
Back against the walls
Caving in
It's a lot snakes
You got to be careful
Who you call your friend
So therefore you don't end up in place
They wanna lock you in
Ain't no fair exchange
For our freedom
Let us not pretend
No they can't
They can't steal my light
Oh it's our lives
We gone shine
Cause we the ones for real
It's not what we think
It's about how we feel
Make no mistake
We're on our way to new days
Diabetes high blood pressure
The food is poisoning
We can't even trust tap water
We got to boil it
Artificial flavors in food
Destroying our organs and
We just trying to live out our lives
They trying to shorten it
I feel like its a curse
In our culture
Is so cancerous
Why they don't teach
Holistic health in school
Can you answer this
We go broke
Trying to impress
And live glamorous
We show growth
Through the ups and downs
And how we handle it
Stripped us naked from our heritage
And made us learn they language
Fed our babies to them alligators
You don't know what pain is
Lord protect the child
From the pedophiles
And sex traffic
Reconcile our little kids back home
The next chapter
Crooked politicians
American greed scandals
Corruption in our government
Money gets mishandled.
Social media deceiving us
Click bait dividing all our people was
The plan not a mistake its evil but
No they can't
They can't steal my light
Oh it's our lives
We gone shine
Cause we the ones for real
It's not what we think
It's about how we feel
Make no mistake
We're on our way to new days
