What is life really about? Who has the juice? Who's got the clout?
Take, take, take never giving in return how to get what we want is the first lesson learned.
[Everyone] is out for number one.
Greed the strength of the destruction we cause, no respect for yourself, others and therefore the law.
we must rise as one or we will never rise; young, old, uneducated, wise.
When we all rise as one then the solution will have begun.
Life taking, law breaking, when will it stop? How many more strong black men will have to drop.
we are our own peoples fate, we must bypass the temptation, envy and hate in order to elevate.
Instead of decreasing our existence or just standing still.
The less we get ahead the more they bring us down. But united as one we will always be around
