corey paul - free tha block lyrics
[verse 1]
it’s a whole lot of them, i’m just trying to be me
no slave to the lender ’cause i gotta be free
did two last month, now i’m trying to do three
they say pressure bursts pipes, i want the ball in ot
it’s on me, take it back to where i started
did it all without a father so my daughter gonna go farther
nah, i don’t beg pardon, standing on what i said
don’t hear what they say, i believe what i read
inferred on their heads, if you’re scared, get your money back
99 plus the young boy, that’s a hundred pack
i just dropped it off at the storе, know i’m coming back
jury just handed down the verdict, can’t stomach that, vomit that
numbеrs on my back like a running back
guarantee i’m running back, hood full of 100 rats
hit, stick, fumble that, we be where the trauma at
buy the block, build it back, anything in between i’ma pummel that
[chorus]
four hundred years behind, i can’t waste time
i be taking off from the baseline
nah, they ain’t give it to me, had to take mine
slowly on the rise, had to stay down
slowly on the rise, had to stay down
slowly on the rise, had to stay down
nah, they ain’t give it to us, had to take ours
we’re slowly on the rise, had to stay down
[verse 2]
great dane, greyhound down for my dogs
lock arms with my brothers, hit the streets for a cause
lost my og at the hands of the laws
eight minutes and forty six seconds, you’ve been immortalized
i’m mortified, more of y’all ain’t horrified
televised genocide? nah, we won’t let it ride
army tank, my soul is fortified
12 won’t gun me down before my daughter turns five
judge me by 12, visit daddy in a cage
i rather live as a free man than die as a slave
my people down bad, we’re earning minimum wage
but we done been stressed forever, we’re gonna make it shake
i can’t respect a system that is antiquated
this world’s cold+blooded, we’re acclimated
i know they hate it, slave ship to ownership
but i’m a free man now, i found myself in him!
[chorus]
four hundred years behind, i can’t waste time
i be taking off from the baseline
nah, they ain’t give it to me, had to take mine
slowly on the rise, had to stay down
slowly on the rise, had to stay down
slowly on the rise, had to stay down
nah, they ain’t give it to us, had to take ours
we’re slowly on the rise, had to stay down
