emanon - make it over lyrics

[intro]
whatever they serve, we’re gonna take it
strengthen your will, they can’t break it
if you living the dream, they can’t wake it
never be poor, broke, and naked
as long as we got each other
look out for one another
we’re gonna make it over

[verse 1]
feeling the strain of years and my hairline’s receding
and my eyes get blurry when i do too much reading
things got me believing that i really am human
need to watch the words of the fools that i’m consuming
need to watch the messages and knowledge that i’m spreading
cuz it seems that more and more poetry is dead
and all the people want is money
but money can’t buy you love and happiness
even though some people try
you know the rich and get rich
and the poor get the short end of the stick
so they stick up the rich for cash quick
and the rich call the law, who be calling [?]
to take it from the hood to the ghetto with bars
now they ghetto superstars in the twisted system
so many lives victimized, we glorify the victims
and if i die with my eyes open up to it
then i’mma be just as wrong as the ones who do it
so in my life i do my best to make it never happen
and revolutionize my people through rhymes and rappin’
freedom got a shotgun, we ain’t even scr-ppin’
it’s new world order, and we are trapped in
it’s millenium armageddon just around the block
who the h-ll is coming with me?
let me throw the first rock
call me david, young warrior, with trustee sling
when my stone sail, y’all can hear the angels sing
when goliath fall, y’all can see the people bring
aloe blacc back on their shoulders crowned a new king

[chorus]
and things won’t be the same
as long as i know the game
we’re gonna make it
whatever they serve, we can take it
show our reserve, and don’t fake it
strengthen your will, they can’t break it
swallow your pride, they can’t shake it
if you living your dream, they can’t wake it
you’ll never be poor broke and naked
as long as we got each other
look out for one another
we’re gonna make it over

[verse 2]
in the dead of winter
screaming at the world as i enter
demons pulling me in to be a sinner
more than the angels fool me to saint[?]
blueprintin’ life on white canvas with no brushes or paint
just to let out my veins, fingers stroking the pain
slave driven slowly insane, legs shackles and chains
visualize the sh-t i’m saying, it’s vivid to some
overexposed flows that i’ve delivered have come
like my uncle pours a sip of the ale
grey hair blendin’ in with the smoke he inhale
then he exhale
blowing stress out from his mouth
i sit and listen to whatever he was talkin’ about
a little change in his pocket, he would offer it out
then go and take a p-ss at the side of the house
these days [?] me up real quick though
seeing sh-t that probably make you feel real sick though
i’m trying to let it go
but memories don’t go with ease
the future probably make it dissolve, slowly leave
and in the end, the demons still win over
cuz i haven’t fully given up my heart to jehovah
so many parts of me is part of this earth
so when i die, mix up my ashes with the dirt
call my little sister, tell her i’m gone
tell her that sometimes i was wrong
and that before i left, i wrote her a song

[chorus]
we’re gonna make it
whatever they serve, we can take it
show our reserve, and don’t fake it
strengthen your will, they can’t break it
swallow your pride, they can’t shake it
if you living your dream, they can’t wake it
never be poor broke and naked
as long as we got each other
look out for one another
we’re gonna make it over

[bridge]
as long as the sun come up
we keep rising
as long as the sun come up
we stand up
as long as the sun come up
we keep rising
as long as the sun come up
we get up
as long as the sun come up
we keep rising
as long as the sun come up
we stand up
as long as the sun come up
we keep rising
as long as the sun come up
we get up

[chorus]
whatever they serve, we can take it
show our reserve, and don’t fake it
strengthen your will, they can’t break it
swallow your pride, they can’t shake it
if you living your dream, they can’t wake it
you’ll never be poor broke and naked
as long as we got each other
look out for one another
we’re gonna make it over

[outro]
that’s who i am, who are you?
i’m the one you can’t break
i’m what you get afraid of all your life
