Til We Get It Right

Lyrics

[Intro] It took a long time to get this condition We ain't gon' flip it overnight [Verse 1] I guess the cops gon' keep busting, wonder why we don't trust 'em The savage law makers and wolves having discussions A gun in our pocket, they lock us up once we shot it Convicting us for dope but they'll never say how we got it My gangsters aggravated so bodies lay on the pavement You hate it but you won't admit this is what you created And as long as we stay in the hood you ignore the damage But soon as we come in the suburbs, it's time to panic My Gs out here starving, they grind, push and they scuffle If you can't fix his problems, how can you tell him don't hustle? You say these thugs ain't got no fathers if they don't listen That's mostly 'cause your system put many of 'em in prison You seen him and his children and wiped him out of the photo And broke the family up so the mama raising him solo And it's crazy how the cycle continues for generations What's even worse it won't ever change 'til we awakened Come on [Chorus] But we gon' keep pushing 'til we get it right We gon' keep working 'til we get it right We gon' keep trying 'til we get it right We gon' keep teaching 'til they see the light [Verse 2] In life you got to get your reps in until your weight shift Yo Laura Ingraham, won't you shut up and go get a facelift? You talk about Durant and LeBron like you so good But the question is how much money did you give to the hood? What you donate to inner city youth? Where is your package? I know the answer already, I'm just being sarcastic I guess that you accomplished the mission with one mention 'cause dissing someone greater than you gave you attention I'm wishing I could show all my homies out here surviving It ain't about the shoes that you wearing or what you're driving It ain't about your Instagram followers and flashing It ain't about the check, it's what you do after you cash it With what we 'bout to be facing, there's no time to be wasting It's bad math if you spending more cash than you making Tricking off what you could have been flipping's a stupid look Don't be jealous when you see people eating, learn how to cook [Chorus] But we gon' keep pushing 'til we get it right We gon' keep working 'til we get it right We gon' keep trying 'til we get it right We gon' keep teaching 'til they see the light [Verse 3] To my youngsters in the streets, y'all tripping and acting crazy Y'all shooting at each other, not caring about these babies Your gun gave you courage so now you around here flexing Innocent bystanders getting caught up in yo plexin' Terrorizing your section with no sense of direction You reckless, you supposed to provide the hood with protection The need to have money is in you like an infection So now you in prison learning a fifty year lesson And for what? Got heated and ran straight to the trunk All because you wanted to prove you wasn't no punk Took somebody's child from the world, life gone quick Nothing wrong with fighting but you fighting for the wrong shit I hope one day you will realize The stuff I see us doing brings tears to my eyes Almost every night it's some youngster they light up with the strap They laid the plan out, you falling right up in the trap Now.. [Chorus] But we gon' keep pushing 'til we get it right We gon' keep working 'til we get it right We gon' keep trying 'til we get it right We gon' keep teaching 'til they see the light
