| Deep in the mind that wide opens |
| Right here we stand alive, we live focused |
| We open-minded, still we die hopeless |
| With our pride broken and bullet holes covered where we stay at |
| And everybody’s playing for keeps, most people pray that |
| We all make it up out this godforsaken place that we’ve been all faced with |
| We take our chances but they all wasted |
| And once again you see me (marching, mobbing) |
| But how long must I continue to see my homies dodgin these marksmen |
| The whole nine put on the line but never in mind to become the head sergeant |
| We all targets, the votes are in, but they ain’t ours |
| We got these politicians running their game to regain power |
| While our whole black community sours |
| Crime rate towers, plagued by white powders |
| And they claim to helping us to clean up our community |
| But ain’t no open opportunities, impunity |
| Is what these demons use to regulate |
| We keep in mind we can run but we can’t hide cause the streets we walk are |
| never safe |
| Still all my shattered hopes and dreams remain scattered |
| Broken into thousands of pieces, smashed and tattered |
| But it don’t matter, hipocrisy in your democracy |
| Is stopping me, so I’m retaliating properly |
| Theologically, society has got me pressured by the hate |
| And Heaven knows I have faith, I have faith |
| (I just wanna celebrate) -→Rare Earth |
| (I just wanna celebrate) |
| Have faith |
| (I just wanna celebrate) |
| (I just wanna celebrate) |
| Rudely awaken from this bad dream |
| Thinking my conscience wants to tell me something because of these bad things |
| (Past things) got me in the center of these mad dreams |
| (Flashing) homicidal (?) fatal slashings |
| Now I’m asking: explain to me these visionaries Brad’s seen |
| (Past things) sad things killed him cause he had dreams |
| (A sad scene) but all I ever wanted was my mind back |
| Now I’m that nigga trying to find out where his mind’s at |
| The time that it took myself to figure out my mind’s gone |
| My mind crack, slide back, look at all the time gone |
| Rewind back, comeback, understand my life gon' make these cuts that won’t change |
| But things look so strange, the plague |
| I gots to get myself up out the frame |
| Try to maintain the same game flipping 10 and flame Jane |
| A damn shame, people gots to always check your background |
| To jack now, come jack now and I’ma leave you flat down |
| Come back now or back down, homie, this is always all day |
| (Killer) in these dark and lonely hallways |
| Cause all they wanna see is all us brothers boxed up in caskets |
| With plastic bags in every bathroom getting blasted |
| It’s drastic, mama help me calm down cause your son’s sick |
| Don’t watch me get gunned down for the dumb shit |
| Then the gun click and now I see the other side of black space |
| My last day, sad case, Heaven knows I have faith |
| (I just wanna celebrate) |
| (I just wanna celebrate) |
| (I just wanna celebrate) |
| (I just wanna celebrate) |
| New day brings about change, everybody’s searching for the light |
| The daydream schemes of living life |
| Has got us tossed up, believing we controlling our motions |
| Got the answer in space beside the view behind the ocean |
| And adapting to the everyday struggle’s got us stressed |
| Cause the fact we know we here one day and could die the next |
| You’ve insisted to take equipment to the solar system |
| Trying to ensure your sole existence |
| Now tell me: do you think that when the bang goes boom |
| You can pack up all your things and aim for the moon? |
| It’s unlikely, but you might be equipped with with proceeds to save lives |
| But you die when the King say die |
| You can race it but you can’t shake it, stop trying |
| Try to hide it, cause you can’t face it but you’re born dying |
| God, please forgive us cause we’re human not perfect |
| And the devil try to fronting but it’s not working |
| How can we all sit suspended in space |
| Just spinning in place and ain’t extended in faith |
| Man, wait — |
| (I just wanna celebrate) |
| (I just wanna celebrate) |
| (I just wanna celebrate) |
| (I just wanna celebrate) |
