Constitutional creeds, what you believe
Nowadays is a different type breed
Declarin independance on these hard knock streets
Laws happen for us yet young'ns hold heat
Grandmas getting womped last week
She was robbed by a thief
People dying over frivolous beef
Respect is minimal
People hold more respect for a criminal oblivious
Your enemy's a friend of yours
Trust waivers, material things enslave us
Praying to myself, god save us
Hearts are jaded
Sorta like juice when raheems mom was hung by the arms of vision
Listen, people have color towards eachother, ridgid
If one is down the other treat him like a peasant
True or false the truth hard to absorb
The proof shows look at the effects it causes
On a mission for the people, look down
For the warriors standing in ground
Salute for woman and child
We as the people must own up to our valor
Take action against things thats pullin us down
I'd rather die on my feet than to live on my knees
For change and guaruntees
The people need to take charge
Get involved and wake up
Or forever stay asleep
Evil effects the hearts of men
Even when theyre made aware, justify it and send
There has to be a thresh hold you wont cross, but of course
Its mans nature no to admit when he's wrong
Im in that same boat trying to stay afloat
Trying to take my own advice from the rhymes I write
The older you get, your thoughts mature
Gessabells lure them in cause theyre pockets all full
AZ said it best, we l**t the 4 devils
Most are fickle, wont lend your fam not a nickle
People are stone cold, remember
Everybody grows old
So who'll be your keeper when the time creep up
Family bonds these days are not tight
Selfish ways are vicious like a pitbull bite
True or false the truth hard to absorb
The proof shows look at the effects it causes
On a mission for the people, look down
For the warriors standing in ground
Salute for woman and child
We as the people must own up to our valor
Take action against things thats pullin us down
I'd rather die on my feet than to live on my knees
For change and guaruntees
The people need to take charge
Get involved and wake up
Or forever stay asleep
People are shifty, spending time and energy
Warranted paranoia stays with me
Keep my back against the wall so I can see whats goin on
For quick decision-making if im thinkin about it
Misery loves company
As opposed to seeing others doing their thing
They talk smack about them
Somebody shot dying, lying on the ground
Instead of callin 9-1-1, people just crowd around him
The hoods paralyzed
All across these united states eating off welfares
Healthcares, ssi for the ones who can't work
Cant work sit behind a desk grillin your whole earth
When they work for full check themselves
Nose up in the air
Poppin gold with the fake hair and nails
True or false the truth hard to absorb
The proof shows look at the effects it causes
On a mission for the people, look down
For the warriors standing in ground
Salute for woman and child
We as the people must own up to our valor
Take action against things thats pullin us down
I'd rather die on my feet than to live on my knees
For change and guaruntees
The people need to take charge
Get involved and wake up
Or forever stay asleep
