Movement Lyrics by I.N.X

Peace and Consciousness

2016

[Verse 1]:
Wake up every morning feeling like I never slept
Working a job that I hate in a country that hate me more
Never letting my people soar, so I'm tryna' get it just to buy em' wings
Show em' the finer things
We better than news reports
Ain't afraid of no task force
We more than they ask for, but they brought us here
Killing us like we ain't build this
In the land of the free man the free get buried
And survivors living off of commissary
25 still a milestone when a quarter life should be ordinary
Devil ordinance
Man it's systematic
20 billion spent on education, over 1 trillion on warfare
And another trillion in Iraq and them drones bombing Afghanistan
Meanwhile back in Wilmington we got little niggas missing school books
Empty libraries, no funding, but still money to get Riv booked
Government ain't did shit for me that's why I'm yelling fuck em' loud in every hook

We don't need you!

[Hook]:
I make this music for my people!
Load em' up with dictionaries and desert eagles
Documentaries and 45's
For the culture man we make it live
We gon' do more than stay alive
We a movement now get it right!
A fucking movement!
(movement, movement)
A muthafucking movement!
(movement, movement)
Said we a movement
(movement, movement)
A muthafucking movement
(movement)
Said we a muthafucking...

[Verse 2]:
Go to sleep everyday feeling like I can do more work
Turn on the news and see more hurt
It's so rehearsed to keep us hearsed or worse
Teach a little nigga to burst first, no verse rehearsed
Meaning he ain't learn conversation, just condemnation
No redemption, never seen God, don't repentance
Fam division, ain't seen the vision
No precision, lost conviction, lost ambition, caught a sentence, can't even write a sentence, charges looking like a dissertation
Nigga dreaming about that levitation while he's chained down tryna' grow more
Hood hit with that gentrification, no more Black owned stores, just liquor stores, and Chinese stores, and churches, and jail cells, they cutting up in your momma's kitchen, anticipating them gram cells
Uncle up in that bathroom mixing heroine with them blood cells
And you stuck in your bedroom writing poetry with your blood cells

You know we need!

[Hook]:
To make this music for your people
Load em up with dictionaries and desert eagles
Documentaries and 45's
For the culture man we make it live
We gon' do more than stay alive
We a movement now get it right!
A fucking movement!
(movement, movement)
A muthafucking movement
(movement, movement)
Said we a movement
(movement, movement)
A muthafucking movement

[Outro]:
