"They laughing, while we cryin
Instead of Saving our people 
They Dyin...
They Dyin, They Dyin
It's time to wake up and change
And stop Lyin
Stop lyin, become a Lion
Instead of surviving these streets 
Start Thrivin
Start Thrivin 
Start Thrivin 
It's time to shift through them gears
And keep Drivin!"

Just another regular day at school
Radio hits
Shhhh...
It's breaking news!
Anotha nigga dead to the gun
Shit to me it's nothin new
The feeling becoming numb
The feeling buildin resentment 
Niggas banging the streets
They awaiting they sentence 
Don't let the streets affect your attendance 
Can we Pleeease 
Come to a consensus 
Look I hate watching us decline
Ill opportunity leaves us blind as a mass
Wouldn't you rather be free
Then to be speaking to ya family through the Glass?
Come on... 
weigh the options
Do you point? Do you shoot?
Do you run? Do you loot? 
Do you tell? 
Do you face being a snitch in a cell?
Do you know wrong, do you know well?
Do you know success or how to fail?
Cause I know that we know how to prevail!

Yeah... and we know how to do it well!
Break Bail!
Break Chains!
New cycles... new lanes!
Proper state of mind
Reconstruct the main frame
And it's a shame 
How we get caught off in this whirlwind 
Watching the world spin
To many cigs now I'm coughin up phlegm 
Had to quit that shit
Flip that script
New Chapter
Refuse to just survive
I gotta thrive to be a better me than yesterday 
I'm cookin up a better recipe
Nothin but true story
Black on Black crime
Got families crying 
while THEY laughing 
They waitin for us to wipe ourselves out of existence 
But only we can save our people
Stop givin resistance 
Stay humble, focus 
and fight back with persistence 
Keep them gears shiftin 
Better future for our children 
Highly educated 
Keep it strong young Black Man
Respect each other 
And have love for our 
Black Woman

"They laughing, while we cryin
Instead of Saving our people 
They Dyin...
They Dyin, They Dyin
It's time to wake up and change
And stop Lyin
Stop lyin, become a Lion
Instead of surviving these streets 
Start Thrivin 
Start Thrivin 
Start Thrivin
It's time to shift through them gears
And keep Drivin!"

Yo It's a conspiracy 
But I ain't gon get deep off into that theory 
I'm just hoping that my people 
Really hear me
Round up the sheep 
Hit'em while they sleep
Yeah the Main objective
 Is to prey upon the weak
Underlying health issues
Seniors and Babies and
Don't worry bout that Wolf 
He on that Wall Street gettin his pay see!
But our melanin is our strength 
Keep our Mind, body, & soul strong 
Spirits of my love ones that's gone and passed on
Still close to me
And I don't really know if that's only me
Or if it's how it's suppose to be
But this love is forever 
So it's a possibility 
Like a Phoenix 
We shall rise from these ashes 
Avoiding mental crashes 
Faith and Prayer by the masses!
Thrive along 
It's more than just survivin on
Ride along
Shiftin Gears, Shakin fears
No more Fuckin Tears
Stop Lyin 
Become a Lion and Roar up out here
Roar up out here, Come on! 

"They laughing, while we cryin
Instead of Saving our people 
They Dyin...
They Dyin, They Dyin
It's time to wake up and change
And stop Lyin
Stop lyin, become a Lion
Instead of surviving these streets 
Start Thrivin 
Start Thrivin 
Start Thrivin
It's time to shift through them gears
And keep Drivin!"
