Julian Marley - Winners lyrics

[Verse 1: Incisive] I look out the window. Squint my eyes on Sunset horizons - last light before The nights on Kids in the street ride bikes that they got from Rich folks with poor Padlocks on Council estates where we play in the street cause the park ain't safe Breddas shop, turn the street into a marketplace Drugs, electrical goodies Laptops, phones, hoodies Sat navs that have the box get copped How could he see past the block? Or past the cops - who always asked to stop And account He lost count Or past his pops Cause years ago he just bounced Or past the drop That his boy got selling ounce The blocks alot And temptation we facin Seems to be erasing The Positive role models we got But refuse to excuse yourself And use yourself To improve yourself I got To [Bridge: Julian Marley] Theres certain obstacles weve got to overcome Don't pull a trigger don't shoot another down Theres more to living than just street life don't you know Watch what you plant What you Reap is what you Sow [Hook: Julian Marley/Dionne Reid] We are Winners (Winners) We fight the struggles that they give us We are champions Don't full there prisons (Don't you fill there) It only makes their pockets bigger Don't let them hold you back [Verse 2: Incisive] (We are Winners) Feels like the sun rising Another day we praise the most high and Thinking of ways to make a raise without buying Into the hype Lets do this right (We are Winners) Cool breeze summer days The end of working days When hard work is paid Feels kinda like A revolution against sinners Not just tryna reach the end, were tryna finish as some winners Tryna walk a path that isn't past the line of the law I guess the working cla** should work in cla** and grind beyond poor Theres no excuses, if we choose this, we can shine even more Cause no amount of bling will mean a thing when life isn't pure (We are winners) Dead right keep your head high Walk a straight path Teach your kids right See I ain't tryna preach but positive speech is what my people need and If I take the lead, I guess that means that we are winners [Hook] x 2
