Faith Lyrics

[ VERSE 1 ]

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)

[ VERSE 2 ]

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)

[ VERSE 3 ]

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)
