Now you see back then
Didn’t seem to understand/
Of how people thought this life ran/
About killing over and over again/
And people just didn’t wanna take a stand/
Around most parts of the world
People realized they wasn’t thinking straight/..so their whole direction curled/
Don’t know how people couldn’t be so alarmed/
Of how much people this continued to harmed/
The people that survived where ready an armed/
..to do what they can do just to weather the storm/
And now they livin better now, sunny weather now/
Don’t dwell on the past cause I’m livin for the now/
I see a brighter day in the future/…
Soldiers at war stand up we salute ya/
Too many problems, not enough solutions
We gotta fight for the revolution
You got to try hard
Before you know it dog
You’d be at the top of the game
and then you’ll fall hard
Now there’s this thing about human beings
Some people dying others sitting in their limousines
Those already at the top spot
They ain’t the ones surviving the ghetto block shots
The ones that have been through a lot (a lot)
The ones trying to strive for the diamonds and rocks
And everything’s messed up on the blocks (the blocks)
Cause kids want things that they can’t even cop
They get tangled with cops, for the sake of living large
If you want have success, then you got to get a job
If you don’t your future can get torn apart
If you do than a whole new life starts
If you don’t it unfortunately goes away
And if you got it you got to make it stay
I kept on trying which got my name popping
now my new life is here and I won’t be stopping
I’m not gonna waist my breath
I want to talk about life and leave behind death
Chorus
