Rise Up

CATEGORY

Views: 195

 

Crazy how life quickly changes

Graduating high school yelling out "Damn we made !"

Pour out the liquor for homies who's lives had faded

Staring at the es who had babies and mood changes so quick, they jaded

College dreams so surreal

Thinking we bout to learn some life skills.

Robbed of our money, they laughing like the funny

9 to 5 flipping burgers, though you got degrees n Hella fees

Funny how life just becomes a blur.

Not even in management, but the hi's misses and yes sirs.

Gotta keep pushing so you can be in first

Gotta have the knowledge, so you can strategize goals and converse

Thought the world be simple, but the young dying young, so you too can end up in a hearse

Free ya mind correctly, use the education and you could be pushing a Bentley

They taught us nothing doesn’t mean you not free to learn, free to earn

Don’t misuse that education, put that to use

We will not stand for this type of abuse, teach your babies and stop be lazy

We can rise up but hey I might just be crazy
