Mobilization of my feet upon the Concrete Gotta stay ready for the daily challenges that I meet Life is hard for me, strong, and yet harder still for some Native peoples gotta reclaim our place in the sun White man with his disease, war and gun Wiped out the peoples will to fight for where we from Cali take heed to the move of Mexican African beat the talking drum Hear the griot song Eastern Stars, recognize, many from the one Though their work undo us, Our work never be done Enough of crumbs And accepting less For our future, destiny Only we know best The peoples power allied combined becomes blessed Build up the strength in this rugged contest They tell us no We say yes My heart pumps liquid gold In my ancient treasure chest Black People Rise up Like the eastern sun Together we are one Won't be overrun By colonizers, who use and despise us Learn from our past and burn hotter fires We were once bought and sold But now they can't buy us Babylon will test and always wanna try us Build up our strength, Upward higher Fight off fatigue We'll not get tired Never run from the outcome In the land of destruction Above us all On my side is the sun And I bask in it While the system steadily takes And leaves me spent Perpetration Great Nation, Faking Led by greedy kids Common citizen name in caps Securing Bush's deficit And elections are rigged Lie upon contradiction People here live with Total assets Evaporated Liquid Culturally Stagnant and Truly a trip Off this I'm working to get Reversing the death, Learning to Live By terms I set Mash up and wreck With intent and effect Soldieress, where yall at? Where we at, is where we be Represent Imiuswi Scrappin to make it happen Fightin to get free Bordered by the desert Buffered by the sea Every paved road got it's toll Not everybody got a soul And its cold chilling to the bone in California weather To see, in words deeds and letters We could be doing so much better So call it on out And work up on it Our nation is made up of individual components We must come together And make it how we want it Black People Rise up Like the eastern sun Together we are one Won't be overrun By colonizers, who use and despise us Learn from our past and burn hotter fires We were once bought and sold But now they can't buy us Babylon will test and always wanna try us Build up our strength, Upward higher Fight off fatigue We'll not get tired Stakes are high Risks and threats we defy Our lives of most importance Fathered by the system Subject to abortion People gather listen Their ears burn, I'm torchin Took our land by force Sin Whooped us on to Christian Off pissed Innocent Presumed convict False citizenship Repeal the 13th amendment Embrace the status foreign Glorified war mongering They just pretend to let us in Human commodities Victims Break down and check the whole system Economics, education, healthcare Prisons Manufacture, agriculture, our whole livin Infiltration, mandates on making Gotta take what we can buy Consumers bred, hands out waiting Prevented and Prohibited Restricted by sanctions Prolifiration of hatred In dire times When souls most need saving Held back from our needs Fed fat, frivolous cravings Gotta think before we act Shrink the belly Grow the mind Of our nation Patience thin Know we gonna win And never stop Note in a kite from neighborhood cell block Spread some out and watch it pop Lay down and die- We not Aint nothin going like that good we got Black People Rise up Like the eastern sun Together we are one Won't be overrun By colonizers, who use and despise us Learn from our past and burn hotter fires We were once bought and sold But now they can't buy us Babylon will test and always wanna try us Build up our strength, Upward higher Fight off fatigue We'll not get tired
