Letras

[Verse 1]
I got my hands in the air, officer don't shoot
Told 'em I couldn't breathe then he gave me the boot
'Cause they be giving the time but never gave me the loot
They got my back to the wall, so what a brother gon' do?
Took a couple of L's, they say a try is a fail
It's either put on a mask or throw the work on a scale
Time's done changed, but I can't even tell
It's only two ways to go, it's gon' be freedom or jail
They gave Lucious a case, and he couldn't even bail
Judge gave him a option, go to trial or tell
Now he's sitting in prison while the governor fishing
We gotta draw up the plan then accomplish the mission
You put a cat in the corner he gon' be scratching and hissing
We gon' survive in the ghetto 'cause the people ain't living
So how a leader gon' lead if he ain't got the vision
I had a dream in my head, I gotta break outta prison
Oh, Lord
[Verse 2]
Introducing Jamal Lyons
[Verse 3]
I wanna live
Wanna live my life today
Make a better way for me and you
When the sun woke up I got on my knees to pray
Let the injustice be solved and mended today
Do you live for the love?
Do you live for the hate? Oh-oh
It's like you make it and they take it and you can't get it back, oh
Do you believe in the creator?
Do you even know anymore?
It's like you make it and they take it and you can't get it back, oh
[Verse 4]
I wanna live, wanna live my life today
Make a better way for me and you
The sun woke up, I got on my knees to pray
Let the injustice be solved and mended today
Do you live for the love?
Do you live for the hate? Oh-oh
It's like you make it and they take it and you can't get it back, oh
Do you believe in the creator?
Do you even know anymore?
It's like you make it and they take it and you can't get it back, oh
[Verse 5]
Yeah
No justice, no peace
In these troubled times like these
I'm down on one knee and I'm praying for what I need
So whatever's in that dark, it's gon' always come to that light
So if you shot him in his back, two wrongs ain't never made it no right
Try to test my strength, and I fought with all my might
Took a page out this chapter just so I could solve my life
We hate that Lucious going through it
We know that he ain't do it
That's change for the better, make the world a better place
United as the people, be the winners of the race
Ain't never killed a joker 'cause he used to be a ace
There's things outta life that you just can't replace
Like the sketches to the drawing that the pencil couldn't trace
Empire
