Lyrics
Hook
Some of us will rise and some will fall
Whats the point of it all?
I see ma-ny peo-ple take lives today
But who?ll give theirs away?
Verse
Every-day young and old
Try to make it through the day
The poor man hus-tle through the streets
digging through trash for nic-kel coke cans (fast rap)
Earn a buck twen-ty five, Head to mickey dees
feast on a bur-ger ?n fries, but can?t af-ford to su-per-size.
7 am rolls around
And the stampede heads on down
Flash-y suits push thru the doors,
Be on the C, down to ful-ton street (fast rap)
Sweating through eighty hour weeks
in the city that nev-er sleeps
Gotta climb up the cor-po-rate lad-der,
wal?lets become 10 times fat-ter (fast rap)
Hook
Some of us will rise and some will fall
Whats the point of it all?
I see ma-ny peo-ple take lives today
But who?ll give theirs away?
Verse 2
It?s a different day, but its sounds the same
You hear these stories of ppl?s pain
My minds buggin
with all these questions tuggin
I ask myself
why are we striv-ing
When all peo-ple be dying
You see their bodies lying
on graves, while mom?s be crying
So many tears stream-ing,
Clenched fists shaking up high
Voices des-pe-rate-ly plead-ing,
To undo the hands of time
but fate can?t wait
for ev-en the greatest of the great?
So how can any of us cope
When this rope around our neck
gets tighter ever sin-gle sec
Is there life after death?
Where we headed
after we breathe our last breath?
Some of us will rise and some will fall
Whats the point of it all?
I see ma-ny peo-ple take lives today
But who?ll give theirs away?
BG vocal line
There must be more than what i see
Someone tell me what to belive
