[Talib Kweli:]Life, what is it for real? I don't know.Yo It's like hate taking over the whole world,What is it over?Suicide man that's the devil trying to control us,They told usBut we didnt noticeThe pain was sittin on they shouldersThe world is just to polarThey'd rather live in the solarSystem got us hopeless, and focused on foreclosuresWake up and smell the folgersObama bring home the soldiersOsama, you owe us, the 9 11 was bogusNow we right back at emSay the world is our motive come on.
[Nelly:]Hey wake up early in the streets of the block,Streets of the block.He posted up on the corner like a soldierIn the drill but he wouldn't stopLiving life in the battlefield, battlefieldTrying to survive every day and every night,It's the same dealLifes strange (Lifes strange)Times change (Times change)But karma always finds the wayStay strong (Stay strong)Hold on (Hold on)Don't let all your dreams fade away
Yeah life can beat you downWhat goes it comes aroundIt's not how you hit the groundIt's how fast you get back upAnd go,keep goingSometimes it feels like I'm giving my life awayIt gets hard, and harderHappiness is worth the waitCause on my own is a better way!Cause on my own is a better way!
A lot of mothers they just don't understand(They just don't understand)They think we're hard on our sonsBut we gotta teach our boys how to be A manThey only know when they walk out the door(When they walk out the door)See we can show em how to fire,But they gotta teach themselves how to reloadCause unenployment is harder than its ever beenSometimes it feels like i cant winAnd even through all the rules keep changingI'm stronger now than I was when I came in
Yeah life can beat you downWhat goes it comes aroundIt's not how you hit the groundIt's how fast you get back upAnd go, keep goingSometimes it feels like I'm giving my life awayIt gets hard, and harderHappiness is worth the waitCause on my own is a better way!Cause on my own is a better way!
[Ali:]Hey Hey going through the back streetsLike we got beefCarnival for carnivores with the sharp teethThey animalistic that's why we call the cops beastWe're on the huntCause they're hungry for the dark meatI'm rapping to my heart beatBrain is the baseMy heart is the drum,Give the drum somePromise of a better life is all I got to giveI ain't just trying to survive, I'm trying to live
Cause all I want is a better way, HeyIf you're not prepared the world can be so coldAll that you can do is your best and just hopeIn time the truth will showJust stick to what you knowGet a grip on something real and never let it go
And go, keep goingSometimes it feels like I'm giving my life awayAnd it gets hard, and harderHappiness is worth the waitCause all I want isA better dayCause all I want isA better way
Go! Keep goingSometimes it feels like I'm giving my life awayAnd it gets hard, and harderHappiness is worth the waitCause all I want isA better dayCause all I want isA better way
