[Hook]
We get high to escape the lows
And we try to evade the blows
But every time we fail it shows
And that's the life, that's all we know
That's all she wrote
That's how we roll
But we can get back to the light
Just as long as we all take flight
There are things that we can make right
Just as long as we all take flight
[Verse 1]
So wait, what they call money?
The root of evil? That's funny
Cause I been around it all my life yes
But still that ain't why I write this
Cause this is the beginning of changes
Like the beginning of 'Changes'
If Pac blew out his brains this
Wouldn't be all the same
So he's the reason I'm sane
And I'll never be so ashamed
Of all the times that I fought myself
Things that I bought myself
Just pulling sh** off the shelf
All because I thought they help
But this is what they made me
Brothers, I'm going crazy
I act like it just don't phase me
But honestly I'm just hazy
I'm starting to think my plane is crashing
Cause all I hear the voices in my brain is laughing
[Hook]
Yeah it's me again, yup, the crazy one
This time i'll go slower, you can call me the lazy one
Look what the days become
Nights with the Jay-Z on
Good things come to those who wait
Well n***a i waited long
And so I'm so sick of this
Look what I fixed with this
I'm working hard in the end
All these scars ain't pretend
Imagine if Reagan was black
No 10 year old kid pushin crack
We don't need a black president
I know i sound hesitant
But we could set precedents
We the people the residents
Our presence is evident
From Inglewood to Evanston
Chi-town to Venice, sh**
We know what we capable of
So you turn all the cable off
This song it came from the heart
Together yet so apart
They hearin me from afar
My voice echoes to the stars
[Hook]
[Outro
We got the power to stop those in power
In years weeks or hours
This land is ours
We fight the cowards
We hit the showers
Then we smell the flowers
Sweet turns into sour
Goddamnit it's now or...
