insight - when are we gonna get it together lyrics
[verse 1]
years of oppression has come around to work though concrete
k!lling you calmly
in the sound there still are places so racist signs say n-ggas stay out
people won’t face it
when it comes to real estate they don’t want you
avoid the fact black red or white it can haunt you
don’t wanna argue its sociology
a society manipulated psychologically
actually not by one man, but in the span of an economy
shifting with the vision of equality
problem is we didn’t finish
so slaves self-replicate even though laws were diminished
many traces to extinguish a disgrace what we live with
and behind closed doors some admit it
i’m not complaining, just saying that we need training
its still raining till then, like minds are maintaining
don’t get me wrong i’m pro humanity, but there’s still problems, deny that, and how can we solve ’em
as for my people you should purchase some stock
own a part of the company making the jerseys you rock
buy a ticket and watch the game
role models are famous but how often do they use their brain whatever continent create a better nation
there’s more of us on probation than controlling investigations
i’m not worried how this shapes my reputation
william lynch said his effect lasts for generations (generations)
embedded in the educational system when will they listen with
out a rhythm in harder positions we’re extinct
plantations in a picket fence, oppression’s a prison cell
visions melt, few black leaders live to tell
if life’s a struggle and struggles a blessing
well yo, this brings me to the question
(when are we the people gonna be able to get it together)
(when are we the people gonna be able to get it together)
[verse 2]
i know statistics are against me, but in this century
there’s also more opportunity
you can see a new degree of euphony and you and i can set examples that improves communities
just by living, and not getting locked up, shot, caught
up, cut stopped in block busts selling rocks or boxed up
(when will people gonna be able to get together)
its never to late to change and maintain
when are we the people gonna be able to get it together
after more bad weather
the media after the crisis in louisiana (get it together)
portrayed blacks as thieves on camera
if i’m wrong for pointing that fact out
what about the network that created the t-tle
change theft to survival
all who argue the general message, are my rivals
so many rather keep it hidden, not many want to listen
and that includes every politician
because i speak it i’m a radical i’d rather you’d realize (what)
revival is gradual
try to imagine truth improve and p-ss down hope and awareness to smash down hatred
set goals you can make it
progress with patience
and raise your family better
(when are we the people gonna be able to get it together)
sometime soon, nothing lasts forever
one thing that i should mention son, you better (get it together) (check it)
plantations in a picket fence oppression’s a prison cell, visions melt, few black leaders live to tell
if life’s a struggle and struggles a blessing (what)
well yo, this brings me to the question
