da kid gowie - survive lyrics

[intro + pastor jamal bryant]
a few weeks before dr. king was assassinated
he said something very striking that runs accord for what it is that we’re seeing on tonight
he said that riots are the voice of the unheard
and i think that what it is that we were able to bear witness to this evening
is in fact, the echo of so many young people who are frustrated
simply because they do not feel that their voices have been heard

[verse]
i’m from a city where the good turn to maniacs (turn to maniacs)
cracker jack ain’t the only thing poppin’ off wherе we at. (nope)
homies out hеre hittin’ l!cks to make a couple stacks (cash out)
‘cause you gotta give a rib to put clothes on your baby’s back (baby’s back)
man, what’s up with that? (up with that)
parents out here dressed in black
mourning every morning ‘cause their son was murdered with a strap. (bop bop)
man, i can’t be that
i can’t be another statistic
so i chose to rap and to keep all my writtens realistic
i’m not a smoker, but there’s time i be feeling so tempted
to light a spliff and get lifted higher than blake griffin
a young brother almost forgot to mention
police be plottin’ to find a reason to get us sentenced
too many robin givens
they pretending to be in love
but end up setting you up just to steal your pension
so keep your eyes open, always keep your mind clear
if you don’t then there’s no way in h+ll you gon’ survive here
[bridge]
the only thing i wanna do is tell the truth
black man, hands up, so don’t shoot
i promise there’s a better life beyond the streets
we just gotta keep the peace without a piece

[hook + quentinventures]
we just trynna survive (trying to)
we just trynna survive (trying to)
we just trynna survive (survive)
why they want us to die? (why)
we just living our lives (why)
we just trynna survive

[verse 2]
black on black, white on white
man it’s all the same sh+t
bullets never see color, they just leave you brainless
it isn’t always criminals grippin’ on the stainless
cops are the epitome of what a real gang is
taking out their enemies
cover for the shooters
they view themselves like supermen but i see alex luther
they’ll take you down, handcuff your hands, but don’t move bruh
before your rights are read they’ll put the tool to your medulla, oh! (oh!)
how could they be so cold? (cold!)
when we just trynna make it back home (home)
please correct me if mistaken
cops should be why i feel safe, not the reason why my heart is racin’
i can’t take it
how many times we have to get clapped? (get clapped)
before the government has our back (our back)
just ‘cause i commit a crime doesn’t mean that i should die, ‘cause officers do the same cr+p. (same cr+p)
facts! (facts!)
[bridge]
the only thing i wanna do is tell the truth
black man, hands up, so don’t shoot
i promise there’s a better life beyond the streets
we just gotta keep the peace without a piece

[bridge]
the only thing i wanna do is tell the truth
black man, hands up, so don’t shoot
i promise there’s a better life beyond the streets
we just gotta keep the peace without a piece
