Crooked I - Lift Me Up lyrics
rate meFt. Novel
They say I’m a slave to the dollar
Cuz for the grind I push everything to the back
To me is bravery and all the drama
Try to liberate my mamma from the ghetto
Like I’m on that turner
Is it that I run for? Can we face in prison?
Catch the case for try to escape the places we living in
I look about the stars feeling like Stevie
I wander if this the same sky he say he’s on ribbing in
Cuz down here we popping streaking
Cheaper property, met in (?) Avenue Monopoly living
Liquor and every corner and somebody religion
And we can buy some Vodka then go tell God that we sinning
I see death is on the corner
Listen heroine when he met you on the corner
Little Caroline and Jeffry’s on the corner
Now it’s flowers and some candles
They very last breath is on the corner
4 steps on the sand
Some was God, some was man
Then it was only God’s cuz God carry the man
I need you to left me up if you can lord
I need you to lift me up lift me up
Need you to lift me up
Gun shots in the air again
We living that nightmare again
So I’m asking you, does anybody care again?
Life is fucked up for a ghetto American man
Rappers are arrogant
Ignoring the community’s pain
Just to maintain fame,
But those the same people that put you on the big chain you wearing it
Your video, so I’m going against the gran
Ain’t talking about just pinching key
To many other hood getting slay
Wearing the picture flame,
It’s ashamed that you ain’t even give a fuck
Your fans won’t shit the change
Yeah better lift me up
I need you to left me up if you can lord
I need you to lift me up lift me up
Need you to lift me up
Gun shots in the air again
We living that nightmare again
So I’m asking you, does anybody care again?
Life is fucked up for a ghetto American man
I need you to left me up if you can lord
I need you to lift me up lift me up
Need you to lift me up
