lyrics

Courage

Pops told me grow up and cash in,
Been dealt a strong hand, and most this planet aint got no compassion
Strickly violence everlasting, get your fucking face blast in
Cause homie they aint even asking
We came up out the woods
Kept it real like the projects
Got respect from the hoods
For the beats and the concepts
Corporates went and took our planet hostage
privatizing net gains, and socializing losses


Chorus

Phonies step to the mic, y'all soft and delicate
Every tale catch a spin from those who tellin it
On behalf of my crew, family, and delegate
Don't play the role and I aint ever been been
come on.
We put it all on the line and never hesitant
Catch the spark of success, others melevolent
Cause they recycled the old, became irrelevent
I'd rather spit a gem intelligent


TravisT

There's not a lot to believe in anymore but here's to hopin'
we wasted all our faith on Obama and Greg Oden
from the City of Roses to the city of Oakland
officers offin' folks out in the open
if it's just another yo then it's mostly unspoken
just another day on a block that stays broken
fiends keep smokin' as a means to keep copin'
opportunity knocks, but the doors, they don't open
justice is blind and illiterate at braille
a little bit of money, everybody is for sale
we bail out businesses that's too big to fail
while you're waitin' on your welfare checks in the mail
they hold the hammer and they see us all as nails
up shits creek without a paddle or a sail
the right spin lies and the left chase tails
tracks get laid but the trains get derailed
