Yeah
Brooklyn stand up
Salay white my brothers
Yeah soldiers take orders
African warriors take off
You know what I'm talking about
Dead prayers what it do man
Yeah y don't get this
movement fucked up
Don't get fucked up bout
this movement homeboy
Yeah
Free
Mamiya
Matula
Yeah we in this struggle together nigga,
you ain't the only one
I know you're back against the wall baby I
know you probably think me and my niggas
all shady
Is it because you see
us standing on the
blacktop?
Blowing this weed in the air,
pumping this crack, right?
This shit real mine,
ain't no work for a felon
The only work I put in , is with this
MAC -11
That's how they want it though,
they'll let a nigga die
They'd rather give a nigga
life than let a nigga fly
This shit genocide,
and though I play my part to it
That's where they put me I'm a product of thug livin',
that's where it took me
Livin' my life on the edge
Gettin' this money, but nigga,
runnin' from the feds
They want us dead
This life we live, nigga, is suicidal
But my nigga, I'm home,
it's a part of survival
We been poor, it's hard just bein' that
But harder than that, nigga,
is bein' black one
You livin' like you grown,
you out there in the cold
You feelin' like you all alone,
you ain't the only one
You by yourself,
just lookin' for some help
Just remember my nigga you
ain't the only one
Living like you grown,
you out there in the cold
You feeling like you're all alone
You not the only one
You by yourself,
you're looking for some help
Just remember my nigga you
ain't the only
You ain't the only one
Out there struggling, striving,
try to stay alive
While sucker niggas ducking and diving
And switching and snitching
and bitching
I'ma turn this kitchen up
a thousand degrees
I'm about to get it
Africa hot
I got a 50 nigga theory like
Machiavelli, really
50 niggas in every city,
what more could you tell me?
But some niggas kill me faking
like it's more than it is
I mean I see through them but they just
fuck it up for the kid s
But now I roll with a selected pack
of niggas who will check the facts
An d ain't no after that,
it's how we deal with disrespectful acts
Nam -myoho -renge -kyo, just ask these old folk,
y 'all they know
Ancestors and
OGs, they all used to blow trees
And reason bout what's really
going on with the world
So
I'ma sit here and do it too,
and let it do what it do
Cause me and
Messy
Marv about to give you a perl, perl
You ain't the only one
You ain't the only one
living like you're grown,
you're out there in the cold
You're feeling like you're all alone
You're not the only one
Think you're by yourself,
you're looking for some help
Just remember my name,
you're like the only hope
My life was saturated block with
the glitter and glisten
Dead prayers I tried to tell them,
but my people wouldn't listen
The young homie had to break before his
Jacob
Now death returns to the homie,
this shit is sacred
Young for the cause like that nigga
Nat
Turner
Keep my hand on my
Bible, other hand on my burner
If we came back to life,
I'd live it again
Even though it's like life in a pen,
be a black nigga,
just came home from jail,
dawg, but I ain't free, no
I'm still in hell,
all they did was open my cell
I'm still black, still pouring the press,
this cracker system still on the nigga back
The only way to go is up,
we been down so long
I need my freedom,
now I don't need it when I'm dead and I'm gone
Every hood,
I see the same old shit going on
Just gotta maintain, keep my focus,
and hold on
When you livin' like you grown, you out there in the cold,
you feelin' like you all alone
You ain't the only one
You by yourself, you lookin' for some help,
just remember my name
You ain't the only
You ain't the only one
When you like you grown, you out there in the cold,
you feelin' like you all alone
You not the only one
You by yourself, you lookin' for some help,
just remember my name
You ain't the only one
You ain't the only one
Ay, just look in the mirror, black man
What is your purpose on this earth?
What is you ridin' for, homeboy?
Is you ridin' for a cause?
If you ain't, you ain't doin' shit,
nigga
It's just another statistic,
nigga
You just another nigga
You know what I'm talkin' about?
Yeah
Be black
You know what I mean?
It's hard enough we poor
Ain't got to do without
But even harder than that
Is bein' black, homeboy
And bein' able to smile
throughout all this shit
You know what I mean?
Set up for a nigga to lose, man
What you gon' do?
My advice to you, brother
Is stand tall, be strong
We in this shit together
We ain't the only one
Messy Marv
