lyrics

For too long my people getting shut down
We'll tell them all that it's time to rise up now
And we can groove about it sometime in this life
Take me back to that home where I wanna stay
It don't matter take my rent take my bills away
And we can groove about it sometime in this life

I never took too much I always had enough
In the palm of my hand held on by a clutch
No rush nothing we can't touch
Safe to say we stayed in this place where we wanna stay
From our darkest days to the parks we played
We tried to make the best of what we could everyday
And that's enough for us to love no rush to judge
Or jump the gun who wants to run amuk
And all the people came down and back around
We keep our feet firmly planted on the solid ground
Another day another dollar trapped by the collar
Working class working so hard breaking backs for scholars
Another news flash same cycle
If this was all written down what's the title
And could it lead our generations to greatness
And give us understanding in life so we can make it

For too long my people getting shut down
We'll tell them all that it's time to rise up now
And we can groove about it sometime in this life
Take me back to that home where I wanna stay
It don't matter take my rent take my bills away
And we can groove about it sometime in this life

When our souls speak and when our eyes weep
Feeling of emotion to this life we're devoted
Like a shepherd and sheep debts deep as the sea
Always overcoming and bridging the gap in between
And on the same page only a few
Everyone's got their own books to choose
That's the reason for the seasons changing
Times keep rearranging keep the pages turning
From the modern to the ancient
Patience a virtue ya use it to break through
Chilling out and we all way out past curfew
And these books are over due
Seeking the same cycle to reach success
But what if theres nothing left

For too long my people getting shut down
We'll tell them all that it's time to rise up now
And we can groove about it sometime in this life
Take me back to that home where I wanna stay
It don't matter take my rent take my bills away
And we can groove about it sometime in this life
