Lift Your Fist
Lyricist:Keith Elam, J Poyser, A Thompson, T Trotter
Yeah Guru, huh, The Roots Yeah, c'mon y'all uh, lift your fist Uhh, yeah, lift your fist c'mon
To all my people, just lift your fist Seem like it ain't no peace, no justice How you want it, the bullet or the microchip? Either way you got to lift your fist
We get it down like this To all my people, ball up your first Seem like it ain't no peace, no justice How you want it, the bullet or the microchip? Either way you got to lift your fist
Yo, c'mon We livin' life close to the edge, don't push But this ain't eighty-three and it's not the cold crush It's kids on the street strapped, huffin' that kush They eyein' the next cat, livin' all plush
I guess frustration make a brother do what he must What's the combination that can make a human erupt Team leaders gettin' mutinied up, who couldn't read The signs, thinkin' the day and times is [Incomprehensible]
Indeed, we blast, refuse to kiss ass Quick fast, ready to mash cause of a bugged out past Swallow the pain, follow the mental terrain It takes a hell of a man, nowadays to maintain
Garments bloodstained, face bruised and battered Our eyes reflect the agony, of dreams that were shattered And they love it, when we wild out and kill our own But the greater responsibility, yes, is still our own
To all my people, just lift your fist Seem like it ain't no peace, no justice How you want it, the bullet or the microchip? Either way you got to lift your fist
We get it down like this To all my people, ball up your first Seem like it ain't no peace, no justice How you want it, the bullet or the microchip? Either way you got to lift your fist
Uhh, worldwide famine, ghetto people demand That somebody do somethin' soon, and let's examine The facts, behind the violent attacks Behind the daily gun play the cocaine and the crack Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Thug season what's the reason for the treason? Everybody's gotta eat, some gotta resort to thievin' Take money, money, make money, money, money
To all my people, just lift your fist Seem like it ain't no peace, no justice How you want it, the bullet or the microchip? Either way you got to lift your fist
We get it down like this To all my people, ball up your first Seem like it ain't no peace, no justice How you want it, the bullet or the microchip? Either way you got to lift your fist
Yo, from the time they eyes open 'til the clock strike death Brothers is stressed, walkin' 'round holdin' they chest They got the government surveyin' they steps and can't breathe They dynamitin' them projects to smithereens
Money comin' but them days too few and far between You tryin' to taste just what the world's offering, ya'mean? I seen enough to make a grown man scream Brothers thirsty and hungry to get that thing
Too many tears of pain, too many years of struggle Too many drops of blood, too many problems to juggle Too few jobs available, too few schools equipped Too few role models, just gangsters and pimps
Will you succumb, will your heart grow numb Or will you save the world, and use your mind like a gun? I'm the one I turn a stick-up kid to a soldier Me and The Roots, word up, we takin' over
To all my people, just lift your fist Seem like it ain't no peace, no justice How you want it, the bullet or the microchip? Either way you got to lift your fist
We get it down like this To all my people, ball up your first Word up it ain't no peace, no justice How you want it, the bullet or the microchip?
To all my people, just lift your fist How you want it there's no peace, no justice From the bullet or even form the microchip? Either way you got to lift your fist
We get it down like this [Incomprehensible]lift your fist Come on my people yo it ain't no justice Dig it, uh, uh
