You Ain't Right Within
(专辑: State Of Mind 2 - 2017)
[Dizzy Wright:] Lauryn Hill's soul flowing through my pen (yeah) How you gon' win, if you ain't right within? (word) How you gon' win, if you ain't right within? (within) The
devil is the
man that tried to right the
sins (talk to 'em) Lauryn Hill's soul flowing through my pen (yeah) How you gon' win, if you ain't right within? (word) How you gon' win, if you ain't right within? (within) The
devil is the
man that tried to right the
sins So, I
hit 'em with this purpose and this passion It's hits in catalogs and my shit sounding everlasting My flows is bottomless, that's unlimited with every basket These days, you can only preach religion if you on acid Ask your pastor 'bout the
shit that he be passing They teach false Greek philosophies in college classes That's the
reason we rock number 7
like Colin Kaepernick We on y'all asses, tried to burn our history to ashes Hold on, we the
chosen ones, let me talk I
made sure that I
would have something to say to y'all Protest peace, take a
knee for justice and they chase you off Y'all read The
New Jim Crow, we don't even got to break the
law We're the
new activists, I
got a
lot to say Screaming Black Power and I'm proud of my Rasta ways The
Black man, with a
cost, no, don't hit him with it Even though they did us dirty and we're still living with it I'm trying to make this thing like a
nipple piercing Breaking down doors, like fuck what I'm interfering Fuck any nigga that secretly work for the
Willie Lynch's Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you and you Working day and night for my kids, that's why I'm casually gone Black man, be better fathers, don't be absent from home I'm working day and night, always trying to be a
better man But the
policeman don't think that's what I'm actually on Locked away like a
slave, they only killing our mindsets In an age of color-blindness, I
tried to kill 'em with kindness It worked until it didn't How I'm s'posed to feel when I
see All these Black and Brown convictions, looking like a
color convention We out here trying to fight a
system that's working against us Tell me what the
fuck am I
supposed to do? Every day I
ask myself this question What more do you want from me? Lauryn Hill's soul flowing through my pen (yeah) How you gon' win, if you ain't right within? (word) How you gon' win, if you ain't right within? (within) The

got Harriet genetics, Motherland in me Just a
queen in this thing with a
message to bring The
apple never falls far, so what's the
fruit without trees? What's the
trees without roots, we all connected like limbs If real recognize real, I
got a
soul like a
hymn Back to more important matters, like love and Black lives They tried to keep us in the
hole, like balls in the
back nine But see it's power in numbers, I
ain't talking the
minutes The
15 don't apply until we walk in the
spirit That's why we're here, the
plan is really simple assignments The
Almighty behind me, got Dizzy Wright to the
left of me Man and woman alignment, we be in sync like Justin and them We push on and go forward like gusts in the
wind The
8th wonder's really us, let me give you the
proof If what I'm saying ain't the
truth, then tell me the
use Of them killing our youth, our rights, our sons and our daughters Our patriarchs and our mamas That's a
question that you got to ask yourself But always know that God's people prevail, weather's forever fail Long as we can inhale, yeah it's Heaven wherever we at When the
final hour comes, I
pray your hearts are intact Forgive them Father, when it hurts so bad We all lost a
couple ones, but stay on your path, my nigga [Dizzy Wright:] Lauryn Hill's soul flowing through my pen (yeah) How you gon' win, if you ain't right within? (word) How you gon' win, if you ain't right within? (within) The
