Faith

Deep in the mind that wide opens Right here we stand alive, we live focused We open-minded, still we die hopeless With our pride broken and bullet holes covered where we stay at And everybody's playing for keeps, most people pray that We all make it up out this godforsaken place that we've been all faced with We take our chances but they all wasted And once again you see me (marching, mobbing) But how long must I continue to see my homies dodgin these marksmen The whole nine put on the line but never in mind to become the head sergeant We all targets, the votes are in, but they ain't ours We got these politicians running their game to regain power While our whole black community sours Crime rate towers, plagued by white powders And they claim to helping us to clean up our community But ain't no open opportunities, impunity Is what these demons use to regulate We keep in mind we can run but we can't hide cause the streets we walk are never safe Still all my shattered hopes and dreams remain scattered Broken into thousands of pieces, smashed and tattered But it don't matter, hipocrisy in your democracy Is stopping me, so I'm retaliating properly Theologically, society has got me pressured by the hate And Heaven knows I have faith, I have faith [Chorus] (I just wanna celebrate) (I just wanna celebrate) Have faith (I just wanna celebrate) (I just wanna celebrate) Rudely awaken from this bad dream Thinking my conscience wants to tell me something because of these bad things (Past things) got me in the center of these mad dreams (Flashing) homicidal ? fatal slashings Now I'm asking: explain to me these visionaries Brad's seen (Past things) sad things killed him cause he had dreams (A sad scene) but all I ever wanted was my mind back Now I'm that nigga trying to find out where his mind's at The time that it took myself to figure out my mind's gone My mind crack, slide back, look at all the time gone Rewind back, comeback, understand my life gon' make these cuts that won't change But things look so strange, the plague� I gots to get myself up out the frame Try to maintain the same game flipping 10 and flame Jane A damn shame, people gots to always check your background To jack now, come jack now and I'ma leave you flat down Come back now or back down, homie, this is always all day (Killer) in these dark and lonely hallways Cause all they wanna see is all us brothers boxed up in caskets With plastic bags in every bathroom getting blasted It's drastic, mama help me calm down cause your son's sick Don't watch me get gunned down for the dumb shit Then the gun click and now I see the other side of black space My last day, sad case, Heaven knows I have faith [Chorus] New day brings about change, everybody's searching for the light The daydream schemes of living life Has got us tossed up, believing we controlling our motions Got the answer in space beside the view behind the ocean And adapting to the everyday struggle's got us stressed Cause the fact we know we here one day and could die the next You've insisted to take equipment to the solar system Trying to ensure your sole existence Now tell me: do you think that when the bang goes boom You can pack up all your things and aim for the moon? It's unlikely, but you might be equipped with with proceeds to save lives But you die when the King say die You can race it but you can't shake it, stop trying Try to hide it, cause you can't face it but you're born dying God, please forgive us cause we're human not perfect And the devil try to fronting but it's not working How can we all sit suspended in space Just spinning in place and ain't extended in faith Man, wait [Chorus]
