It's time to pump up the volume

All you in the area

From suburbs slums and ghettos

Through America I'm here to break

The barriers unify you and I

'Cause under one God we all are humankind

No matter the race creed color

Or state of mind

There's much celebrate

In this space and time

So I deliver these rhymes to lift the mind

Spirit and soul with every rhyme I unfold

And I hold my head low and stay humble

'Cause who knows what piece

Tomorrow bring to the puzzle

I huddle my hands together and give praise

No matter the weather

God's sun provides the rays

And lights the way through this desolate maze

Where the obstacles of life can

Leave your confidence dazed

But I maintain to strife

Struggle and strain

Gain character from persevering through pain

And it's strange how I've complained

When others have had it worse

Lacking in understanding of

The next man's hurt

So now I comprehend as I write this verse

So today I give thanks

Today you givin' what

So today I give praise

Kero One say it again

So today we rejoice as we

Spit these words sayin'

Thanks for the roof over our heads

Say words As we rejoice for

Every day that we're fed

I give praise to the creator above

For givin' us hope in life

And promoting the love

It's like we give thanks

For the roof over our heads

As We rejoice for every day that we're fed

We givin' praise

Ya'll to the creator above

For givin' us this chance to expand the love

The earth rapidly rotates at a miraculous rate

And we still seek

To find the definition of appreciate

The gift of life is a gift in itself see

And this goes out to middle class

Broke and wealthy

I like to recognize

All the things in my lifetime

Stayin' alive or the ability to write rhymes

Uplift the mind through these treacherous times

I give props to all mighty

'Cause the Sun still shines

I walk the earth mad cool

With a righteous attitude

Manifest my humbleness

And express my gratitude

Realize the worth and

Quality of things that I got

'Cause all things that you have

Kid you might have not

As I drop you say word

But check the words that I say:

Just like the Lord giveth he can taketh away

And today

I take time to realize the strife

Many people with

They conflicts and difficult lives

Open your ears wide

I hope the message ya get

And if you're broke with no job

Or financially set

Let's correct

The issues at hand the moves we faking

And start demonstrating

The love for appreciation

Like Mobb Deep we got ya

Stuck off the realness

And motivate so ya next to

Kin will feel this

We on drive ya best peel quick

Niamaj and Kero One's 'bout

A tell ya what the deal is:

Not to preach or bore ya with flows

Celebration is the key so

The chorus it goes :

It's like get you yeah

Come on

It's like kiss you in the place you be

Put your hands up your hands up

Pump on up you

We celebrate in the house one time

We give thanks for the roof over our heads

And rejoice for every day that we're fed

We give praise for good peoples around us

Uplifting the spirit let progression surround us

And count the blessings found in life's lessons

With every negative there's a positive message

So step in these shoes for just a few

They may fit snug if so we're talking to you

Our story unfolds in a town with a beautiful view

Where money flows to

Pockets but people still feud

And close to the ground

Bums hunger for food

Embracing nickels hope

Pennies just for booze

While we view the pumb to we see

People at war with each

Other themselves and we

Dying by the thousands

How thankful we be

So I'm trying to keep it moving

Cause there's a reason we're free

I said we gotta keep it moving

Cuase there's a reason we're free

Yo I'm trying to make

Moves one time for ya mind

I said we gotta keep it moving

So we find humility and give thanks to thee
