Revelations 2010

Lyrics

It's life vs. death Ignorance vs. ego A book vs. a gun And our babies just tryna live There's a war going on outside, no man is safe from A drug being sold outside, no man is safe from A gun going off outside, no man is safe from Can I live? Can I live? Yeah Love vs. hate outside, no man is safe from Courthouse with the judge, no man is safe from Three strikes (You're out), no man is safe from Can I live? Can I live? Yeah There's greed and envy, no man is safe from Pride and jealousy, no man is safe from Mental slavery, no man is safe from And I'm wondering Can I live? There's a war going on (War) There's a war going on (War - east and west) So you better arm yourself (Internal and external) We got to arm ourselves (I'm gon arm myself) And they're out to bury me (They want to bury me six feet deep) And they're out to bury you (They want to bury you) And they're out to bury me And they're out to bury you And all you can do is arm yourself And all you can do is arm yourself Look to the sky, say Can I live? There are laws and diseases, no man is safe from Trigger happy polices, no man is safe from Racism, no man is safe from Can I live? Can I live? Yeah There's Republicans, no man is safe from Democrats, no man is safe from Government, no man is safe from Can I live? Can I live? Yeah There are murders, no man is safe from Bloody murders, no man is safe from There are even predators, no man is safe from (No man) Let me live, let me live There's a war going on (War) There's a war going on (War - wars, and rumors of wars) You better arm yourself (Check yourself) We got to arm ourselves And they want to bury me And they're out to bury me And they're out to bury you (It's a war going on) And they're out to bury me (They want to bury me) And they're out to bury you And all And all we can do is arm ourselves Educate your mind Educate your mind Arm yourself Look to the sky, and say Well, it's the big 45 versus the high school diploma Waking to the bitter truth versus living in a coma The scriptures versus scholars Morality versus dollars It's the depths versus the shallows Insurgents versus soldiers, it's Minimum wage versus standing on the corner Selling crack to your cousin vs. the shoes for your daughter Escape versus depression Staying clean versus addiction Alcohol versus your blood equal one nasty hangover, it's Your daily budget versus living in a dream Your sacrifice that means your wants vs. your needs It's giving thanks for what you got and still not care how small it seems versus the grass over the fence that always looks so green Bling-bling versus diamonds w' bleed A sweatshop versus designer jeans Looking out for one another versus looking over shoulders Remaining a mental slave vs. being free by any means They want to bury me And they're out to bury me (They want to bury me six feet deep) And they're out to bury you (They want to bury you) And they're out to bury me (They want to bury me) And they're out to bury you And all I can do is pray to the Educate my mind Cause they want me six feet deep Think of penitentiaries And they're out to bury me (They got 3 strike rules) And they're out to bury you And they're out to bury me And they're out to bury you So all you can do is protect yourself Educate your mind Stay prayed up So all you can do is arm yourself Look to the sky, say Can I live? Yeah Well, greetings this is Damian Jr. Gong Marley alongside Brother Raheem And I and I wants to say its one's responsibility to make sure one is properly armed for the Armageddon, you know what I mean? Educate your mind Exercise your brain
