DJ Jazzy Jeff - We Are lyrics

Yo, just feeling the way that I do Hope lives on, if not through me through song I'm getting the long, take deep breaths and hold on I write like I realize I could be gone I'm here, is the true meaning of love clear? If love is pain, is love really fair? Is the meaning of life just to breed? Is d**h losing all of your precious things? Some think men don't cry, well, here's tears Been told all these lives for these years It's unclear why truth is untold But hold fast and truth will unfold I know but it's kinda hard to believe That a whole generation will die over greed And that most of our young will die overseas But it all remains to go unseen We are living for today not the past, trying to hold on Cause the trouble won't last We are showing that the roots run deep And the hope won't cease 'cause everyday we believe We will, hold on and hold out, put it together And make it work somehow This is, this for Malcolm and music My story, my movement, never forgetting the children Keep your head to the sky The only way that you fail is if you never ever try Where I come from, I'm there for you, care for you You don't have to worry I'm gonna always be there for you Doing what, laying the foundation 'cause we gonna make it But it's gonna take dedication And what and hope and love and peace I hope one day you'll see and then you can join us Listen if you love me say the words to me I'm surrounded by so many things that hurt to me You know you'll always come first to me This is music, it ain't nothing but a verse to me Remember after the pain there's sunshine It's not in vain we all feel it sometimes Stay strong, hold on, we gonna make good Every member [Incomprehensible] We are living for today not the past, trying to hold on Cause the trouble won't last We are showing that the roots run deep And the hope won't cease 'cause everyday we believe We will, hold on and hold out, put it together And make it work somehow This is, this for Malcolm and music My story, my movement, never forgetting the children This is for the mothers single handed For all the ghettos way to dammit Hey, the world, don't you panic Let courage lead you right Darkness is temporary Even though the future's looking scary, yeah it is The most I don't make mistakes When your chosen us the light I know we're a long way from home On this land that they stole, took it all Gave us d** after gold Incarceration to a fold To raise the murder toll What else, to divide communities Do away with unity Where the strength is human beings We are living for today not the past, trying to hold on Cause the trouble won't last We are showing that the roots run deep And the hope won't cease 'cause everyday we believe We will, hold on and hold out, put it together And make it work somehow This is, this for Malcolm and music My story, my movement, never forgetting the children We are living for today not the past, trying to hold on Cause the trouble won't last We are showing that the roots run deep And the hope won't cease 'cause everyday we believe We will, hold on and hold out, put it together And make it work somehow This is, this for Malcolm and music My story, my movement, never forgetting the children
