[Jamil:]
I'm on. Let 'em know what it is right now
Push forward, can't quit right now
Stay grinding 'til my light's out
They doubt us, tell 'em pipe down. You'll never get in my head
I'm eating my daily bread. It started when I was bred
My goal has always been highest
They'll conquer and they'll divide us
They'll say they love us, but fight us
These demons can't get inside us
And yeah they want to get you. Nah, you cannot let them
See, God is always beside you. He wants to see you heaven
So we're pushing, keep pushing. Everybody has enemies
Watching everything you do like they're measuring
And you only get heat like anitfreeze
If you let them cruise in like Penelope
If you want to give up, please remember me
When I tell you these words: Yo, God is always at work!
So hold on. Get ready to go on
These words that I teach you haven't failed for no one
So lace up your sneakers, and turn up your speakers
Cause we're about to get it, get it, get it
Ain't nobody messing with it
(Can't nobody hold us back, they can't hold us down
They can't keep us trapped, tie us to the ground
Told y'all people that we don't mess around
When we turn it up, please don't turn us down.)
(Ooh. Let me see your hands up!)
[Fanaticus:]
Wake up, down and out. Hoping somebody sees me if I shout
Crying out for the people around me
To see what I see and collect the bounty
Praying meditation keeps me ready
But you can never really be truly ready
Your eyes on the prize, on the ball, on the call
They throw a curve ball, and you hit the wall
Slump to the knees. You know I'm getting weak
Keep my hands ready 'case they sneak attack through the trees
Gun ready, my ammo in the tommy
Machine Gun Kelly can't compete if he's around me
Didn't find me, I hope they don't find me
Can't cover up these tracks cause I'm grinding
Got the gears turning, cause I'm burnin the track made for me
Hot fire I'm blazing
And even when I thought I couldn't do it
You were there in my corner saying I'm grooving
And even when they told me I couldn't
My homie came through with the track, now I'm booming
And even when them demons were fluent
Invading my life, trying to take me off my current
You were there, just assuring I was safe for the present
Now my confidence back, and it all seems so certain
When I was younger, I wasn't even a somebody to a nobody
But everybody's never a copy
I was told that I was never gonna make it
And your homebody struggled with his life, but he couldn't take it
Pretty jaded, but you know I never fake it
Nah I wasn't worth saving
'Til I got on my knees, and I screamed for change
My momma came running, saying, "It'll all be okay"
My savior and my life support
The other kids gunned me down, but she never pulled the cord
In school, teachers said I was gonna shoot 'em up
5'1 Tyrell? Nah, I let it beat me up
But no Chris Brown when I say look at me now
Another troubled kid who's now proud of his smile
Music saved me, it can save you too
Nas said the world is yours, man I thought you knew
(Can't nobody hold us back, they can't hold us down
They can't keep us trapped, tie us to the ground
Told y'all people that we don't mess around
When we turn it up, please don't turn us down.)
(Hands up, reach for the sky
Hands up, get 'em up high
Hands up, if you really feel alive
Live it up, live it up!)
