We Gon Make It

(album: Black Dollar - 2015)

Breaking news from Baltimore, a city on edge since the death of a suspect while in police custody, his spine nearly severed
Tonight those tensions fueling violent protests now
Dramatic images coming in at this hour
You can see some people there on the streets throwing rocks and bricks at police officers

Lil homies living like it's no tomorrow
Caught a charge smoking large in a stolen car
He called his mom, guess he figured she would post his bond
Times have changed and she really running low on funds
Hung up the phone, in the cell still in his Foams
Reeking of the weed, that's all his money blown
Now it's time to tell yourself, nigga, "We gon' make it"
And 15 hundred cash, nigga, we gon' make it
A free felon on their ass, nigga, we gon' make it
Homie stepping on the gas, nigga, we gon' make it
I told myself so many times, nigga, we gon' make it
Crying in the dark, nigga, we gon' make it
Counting cash 6 days, nigga, we gon' make it
Let them haters be the haters, nigga we gon' make it
Put your back against the wall, nigga we gon' make it
And if you black, this for us all, nigga we gon' make it

They say we just a bunch of thugs, don't stand for nothing
Disgrace to our race, don't belong in public
It was us against the world from the first day
Let us bow our heads, may we all pray
Throwing bricks at the man, we gon' make it
Genocide not in the plans, we gon' make it
Pray my son understands, we gon' make it
Know God holding our hands, we gon' make it

No power in December, nigga we gon' make it
Stove open, I remember, nigga we gon' make it
These the words mama whispered, we gon' make it
Still holding on my pistol, nigga we gon' make it
I seen a lot of niggas fall, still standing tall
And a lot of people talk you've never seen talk
When your man testify, that's a coin toss
Never trust niggas, hit 'em with a moonwalk
Billie Jean, Billie Jean, oh Billie Jean
Say a prayer for my team, we gon' make it
Hold your head to the sky, we gon' make it
All my niggas getting high, we gon' make it

They say we just a bunch of thugs, don't stand for nothing
Disgrace to our race, don't belong in public
It was us against the world from the first day
Let us bow our heads, may we all pray
Throwing bricks at the man, we gon' make it
Genocide not in the plans, we gon' make it
Pray my son understands, we gon' make it
Know God holding our hands, we gon' make it

Demonstrators jumping on police cars, setting some on fire, the city in rubbles
Rubber bullet shooting chaos. Looters robbing stores in broad daylight
They saying we animals and we acting like we ready to go 'head
If you don't bring him to justice, if you don't bring him to town square
You're gonna see all these people in your motherfucking neighborhood
