maurcus (qpid) – against all odds lyrics
(hook)
i believe that one day we’re gonna come out on the top
push against all the odds, don’t you cry
(verse 1)
where my daddy come from you can’t look a n-gga in the eyes, it’s a threat, he’ll shoot at you
where my g daddy come from you can’t look at no white girls, they lynch you
where my great g daddy come from you don’t pick enough white and they whip you
now we smoking white, fighting it’s a plight
up every night tryna get it right
everything that comes, it goes
every time we come, they go
everywhere we come, they go
maybe we’ll make it one day
maybe it’ll come next sunday, yo
(verse 2)
so can we get some food, can we get good? can i get diapers for my daughter? no
so keep praising god, keep giving t-thes, keep giving more when that gold bowl slide
i’m sure it’s just a matter of time
maybe he’ll come on your last chrome dime
just keep waiting while your son do crime
and keep waiting while your sun don’t shine
keep waiting while your daughter’s crying
just keep waiting and therapy buying
you gonna get yours? i’ma get mine, aight?
but it don’t come without a fight
reparations for the beat, a voice for the meek, justice for the weak
gold for the street, a blade for the cheats
and most of all i want peace for me
’cause i believe
(hook)
i believe that one day we’re gonna come out on the top
push against all the odds, don’t you cry
and i believe that one day we’re gonna sit upon our throne
reclaim the plymouth rock, the place we call home, our sweat and our bones
