Ghetto Prisoners Lyrics

Uhh, regulate nigga Bravehearts nigga, live for this Some of y'all don't live at all Get yours, nigga, get yours, baby Uhh, yo, yo
As the night closed down on the earth like gray dark rings Light of cities in the nights, destination for kings With big dreams, like Castro, overthrew Bautista From Cuba, and pointed nukes toward the U.S.
About to shoot us for revolution, that's how you gotta move A lot of rules, some locked in solitude Curse the day of they birth confused Who's to be praised, the mighty dollar or almighty Allah
I'm like the farmer, plantin' words, people are seeds My truth is the soil, help you grow like trees May the children come in all colors, change like leaves But hold before you, one of those, prophetic MC's
With blunted flows, seven hundred souls in me Each channelin', from past to present time Heaven shines light on those innocent to how the world grows Some men become murderers and some girls become hoes
And you accounted for, everything that you heard Do not speak to fools, they scorn the wisdom of your words My heart is wise, bloodshot eyes, the saga never dies Ghetto prisoners rise, rise, rise
Ghetto prisoners rise, rise, rise Ghetto prisoners rise, rise, rise Ghetto prisoners rise, rise, rise Ghetto prisoners
Yo, we gotta be God's children, habitats in tall buildings Rats crawl in filthy hallways, incinerators Sinners who faithless, still there's hope Pray it's answered, dreams turned real
What's a wicked nation? One with blind men Not takin' charge of the situation Empty arguments and real conversation's needed The world'll need it, to hear it
Evil tries to weaken my spirit, it's chronic herb This hurt come from the honest word I now try hardest to serve my maker What I learned, find it's way on the paper
So I could dictate it, articulate it Luckily, I was put on one of the ships that made it Through strong currents and winds that left the others stranded To sink in the Atlantic, satan jigs the planet
Not to get too religious But who decides when and if your life is finished? If Christ is in this, for the sake of your name, O Lord May we break away from the chains abroad
Ghetto prisoners rise, rise, rise Ghetto prisoners rise, rise, rise Ghetto prisoners rise, rise, rise Ghetto prisoners, get up, wake up, rise
Ghetto prisoners rise, rise, rise Ghetto prisoners rise, rise, rise Ghetto prisoners rise, rise, rise Ghetto prisoners
You wanna buy time? I'm the seller of minutes I give you every second low-priced, if I so lies The truth is time waits for none of you In fact, he can't wait for the date to snatch The ground right from under you
Small visions of better life, if cheddar was right Lurk in the mind of young ones ahead of they time Trapped in the slums, beggin' for nuttin' but takin' Headed for nuttin' but the state pen, where they cousins be waitin'
Judges is not relatin' to pleas Guns bustin' where the kids play Ricochet off lamp poles and leave damp holes In bystanders, get cancelled, D.O.A.
Around the way, where we from Hope the future reduce the rate of those buried young Life is every man's kingdom, a dyin' man's past And a newborn's, first time to be here at last
And shouldn't have to grow up fast, and suffer our pain Hustlin' harder than the generations here before he came Goin' through the same bullshit as our fathers Readin' history, but who's the authors?
For some the game is easy For most of us, the game is much harder But never lose faith Through the years just get smarter
Ghetto prisoners, ghetto prisoners Ghetto prisoners rise, rise, rise Ghetto prisoners rise, rise, rise Ghetto prisoners rise, rise, rise Ghetto prisoners, get up, wake up, rise
Ghetto prisoners rise, rise, rise Ghetto prisoners rise, rise, rise Ghetto prisoners rise, rise, rise Ghetto prisoners
