NIW Lyrics

People be chasing money and forget to value life

Guess you gotta care before you can comprehend thrive

I know what its like to have no one there by your side

I still feel all the pain and heartache inside

Excuses never work they just put shit in your eye

I hear people talking but no action or bite

My life is out of balance but my head is on right

Generations of humans were taken away

Mention reparations they say but it wasn't me

Neither was the Holocaust or them Japanese camps

And they still received wealth from the US tyrants

We out here killing and robbing from each other

And destroying our mother making the rich richer

Caught in the hype missing the big picture

Jealously and hatred still stain the pavement

Sex and vanity is the new enslavement

Can we win

Will we win

Can we win

We begin

They always use hatred to keep minds homeless

And fight to hide the truth so they remain hopeless

They commit the evil deeds then file a grievance

Lurking behind a fence of disdain as they pray to Jesus

Since I was a kid I've seen the fuzz carry out murder bids

And there's always an excuse when they gun down the black kids

We are lost and don't know what to find

As we scroll Imprisoned inside our mind

We are the product under the light

Blinded by vanity, hatred, & hype

We forget life demands that you fight

Money is nice and so are good looks

Questions have partial answers scattered in books

But what are they worth if you don't how to look

I ask cause we idolize crooks

While they absolve books

Fast money ain't good when your life is a pawn

And standing in front of you is a rook looking on
