Lyrics

[Intro] This world today is all confusion Yeah, yeah [Verse 1] So anybody know what our nation consists of? (Consists of) Webster's meaning verse the dreaming, I'm sure we got ripped off (Ripped off) Confused as a little child not knowing where to belong Fight our fire with fire, our rights expire I aspire to be strong and live on, despite the hate I bond Ripple in a river cause a wave of destruction So I grab a board and surf on and rip on In a tube of turbulence with verbal herbalists Using my words against a murderer's, but far from "he say, she say" The facts embedded in our history replay, and we play the game of each day We ain't on our knees, but we pray, and we pray, for a better day (Hey) [Chorus] What's our nation really given? No trust, no love (No trust, no love) Intervening with our children No just, just us (Just us) Let's build a movement of the willing, destroy the evil villain And bring our nations back (Back), god willing [Verse 2] Yeah, they captivated, cultivated hate and put us in jail (Jail) Now we pack the prisons, active in our activism out on bail (Out on bail) Yeah, they pray we fail (Fail) and talk about our pain forever trapped in a never ever ending story Tell the tale of "poor me" instead of pride and glory Put that bullshit before me, performing like you want it Shit our pain run deep, and its as deep as it can be But that don't make us weak, young warriors seeking peace Yeah, you'd rather see me scream my fears (Fears) and whisper my success' You'd rather see my people killed than flourish in our essence Yeah, were honoured, we on it, to be a part of the next generation taking back our nations We get no rest [Chorus] So what's our nation really given? No trust, no love (No trust, no love) Intervening with our children No just, just us (Just us) Let's build a movement of the willing, destroy the evil villain And bring our nations back (Back), god willing [Verse 3] So I'm moving with the movement by choosing what I can do, man Young black brothers and sisters, we coming through and Ain't no time to chill, let's build, ayo, for real Yo, they still kill, still steal (No treaty just them bars of steal) What the deal? Ayo, you either get to running your own thing or be a modern-day slave man Yeah, the real killers hide behind a badge, and they call it lawman, but we don't understand Or you think we don't, but we do (Do) Yeah, you think we got the problem, but it's you (You) Ignoring where you coming from, the babylon of rage y'all Game still the same just a different day y'all And we still here (Still here), and we always will be (Will be) Tried to hide the facts, but the fact is you kill us for your (Kill us for your, nation) Tried to hide the facts, but the fact is you kill us for your (Kill us for your, nation) [Chorus] What's our nation really given? No trust, no love (No trust, no love) Intervening with our children No just, just us (Just us) Let's build a movement of the willing, destroy the evil villain And bring our nations back (Back), god willing What's our nation really given? No trust, no love (No trust, no love) Intervening with our children No just, just us (Just us) Let's build a movement of the willing, destroy the evil villain And bring our nations back (Back), god willing
