Faith

[ 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)
