[Verse 2]
Yowego, from the poorest
and blackest of people
To survive in the streets of Modesho
The most dangerous armed and lethal,
yet peaceful
We no evil, I come from the
slums that's [Dm]run down
Spit [Am]native intelligent tongue sound
Would rather get gunned
down [Dm]than dumbed down
[Am]So come down

[Verse 3]
[Am]Much success to you comrade
To who I wrong, if it's never been [Dm]said before,
[Am]my bad
I took a page from the book
of Martin Luther
And de[Dm]cided that it's [Am]better
to hug ya than to shoot ya
I'm sorry homie if it's not
what ya use ta
But the [Dm]way that we livin'
[Am]these black lives is beautiful
All the things we've been through
and the tree we done bloomed
[Dm]We probably fa[Am]mily but
we never knew

That's what's [Am]called solidarity
When we struggle it's ther[Dm]apy,

up in this man's dilemma
We only here for a minute,

See, I'm a [Am]ryder and
I'm gon' be remembered
For those of you not born,
to those of you not [Dm]here
I wish you the be[Am]st and that's real

[Verse 6]
This ain't [Am]ya average,
when they portray us they say "all savage"
Cause we have it,
blast it, won't stash it
Cause we fight to the death and [Dm]manage
[Am]To makes songs[Dm] of
[Am]struggle and to habits
And dammit, if I don't [Dm]get even
It's [Am]chant down Babylon season
Die for Nee Orleans [Dm]to Cleveland
'Til [Am]we even, we not believin'

I love all our brilliant ways
I love when we get paid and never
move away from the hood
We keep gettin' while
the gettin' is good
[Dm]You right at home in our
[Am]neck of the woods

against the Mexicans
[Dm]Old rivaling's[Am] is throwin'
up they sets again
They put the short against the tall
and the old vers the new

be me against you
All the things we been through
and the tree that we bloomed

and stay true
