Press On Lyrics by High Society Collective

CIRCA MMXI: The Collective

2012

Sho Baraka:
I'm just trying to find my place
I think I found it right here
Martin Luther King Jr.:
I just wanna do God's will
[Verse 1]
Sho Baraka:
Yeah, me too
I write for the rich, I write for the poor
The disabled child and that precious unborn
The high aristocrat and those kicking down the doors
Those who voted for change, and those begging for more
Those who spend hours in front of the liquor store
The many men out there who's addicted to porn
Those who bear fruit and those rotten to the core
The sisters selling their bodies and the ones living pure
I do this for the Bush's, Obama's and Al Gore's
The X's, DuBois', the Kings, 2Pac Shakurs
I do this for the Shalom in the eye of the storm
Those who's piecing back together a life once torn
Where's that Jupiter Hammon, I knew Langston Hughes
Our Whitneys, and Wilberforces, our Corrie Ten Booms?
I got a tragic word, our culture's headed for doom
But a revolution's coming in light of that bad news
[Hook]
J.R.:
A voice from above saying "walk with me"
When nobody listens you can talk to me
Please be still I can hear a sound
Saying "my dear child are you here with me now?"
Keep on pressing for a little bit (3x)
Hold on
[Verse 2]
Sho Baraka:
Deep personal voids, empty personal joys
Little boys treating sisters like their personal toys
You search a lot of places but you still can't find that, love
Hurt cause you thought sexual contact
Was everything but the climax
I apologize the Apple Bottoms that I macked
I tried to eat but I dare not cleave
Exploring Eve's garden knowing that I would leave
We call you a dime, but that's too cheap
You drowning in your sorrows, but that's too deep
I'm done being a player, we some new coaches
When Pharaoh opposes, then we play Moses
No fear to succeed, no fear to achieve
When we can't breathe from fear, we speak on our knees
Like "Lord, thank you for the path now
You make straight the street we walk now"
[Hook]
Sho Baraka:
Keep on pressing for a little bit (3x)
For a little bit
Cause he ain't done with you now
Martin Luther King Jr.:
And he's allowed me to go up to the mountain
And I've looked over and I've seen the promised land
And I may not get there with you
But I want you to know tonight
That we as a people will get to the promised land
So I'm happy tonight
I'm not worried about anything
I'm not fearing any man
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
Sho Baraka:
Keep on pressing for a little bit (3x)
For a little bit
Cause he ain't done with you now
