VERSE 1: High hopes, used to lead me to hopeless thoughts Damn the pain that that would cause Thinking 'bout my decisions, I'm feeling like Joseph Cross The way I'm running with scissors, while wide awake wouldn't walk Where I'm from, hope is becoming lost They don't care if it's freezing, you getting jacked for your frost Same kids, look up right at a cross Beg the lord for forgiveness then go back to breaking laws cause The hunger like Everdeen And the m.o is to get it by any means You know why, when you young they tell you you need your greens And the greed just leads to a murder scene I keep myself out the mix, but I know the streets When a problem needs fixing they go and they grab the piece Your spirit will face eviction once you facing your decease I just hope the next barrel ain't facing me HOOK: And I’m gon’ break though No matter what’s around me And I’m gon get past All of my surroundings They said a dream deferred Is a broken winged bird, it cannot fly And I’m gon’ rise up, keep my eyes up Won’t let em die VERSE 2: So what’s the problem? Some say it’s the movement Some say the environment Cause they fail to improve it They don’t like when we riot They say the protest are violent But when we do em in silence They don’t like when we do it Appropriation, that’s a form of them looting Along with gentrification, that seems to really been booming It’s a race and a social class issue I’m assuming Let’s erase every local fast, thats a great solution What are we supposed to do? Sit and get wiped out clean? Dress in different attire so we do not make a scene? Ask to form an alliance and hope that they don’t deny us Cause they don’t want to supply us Until then the people scream Saying, "we want reparation, free education It’s locked behind societies grip No hesitation To ever let it go because they want to keep us gated Tell us that change is coming But for years we’ve patient ah!" HOOK: And I’m gon’ break though No matter what’s around me And I’m gon get past All of my surroundings They said a dream deferred Is a broken winged bird, it cannot fly And I’m gon’ rise up, keep my eyes up Won’t let em die
