Verse 1 M1 (Dead Prez)
If you believe it you can achieve it,
That.s wise words of wisdom.
Or really would you whether just be
Pimped by the system?
Nobody knows the reasons we here,
We just surviving from day to day,
Caught up in this game you have to pay to play.
Head up, fist clinched, we keep pushing forward.
Dare to struggle keep bubbling and go for it.
I.m inspired by those who keep trying,
Reliant giants, who studied light and try to use it as a science
My theory is to keep firein irons, realize were not dieing
Ever defiant, we like lions.
Keep applying the gift, like the story of the man an the fish,
Then make reality instead of a wish.
You got to be brave in these good and these bad days.
Live and learn Homey, we growing in mad ways.
We done been through some ish that made us grow up quick,
I done been around the world and can.t never forget that we can make it yall!
Chorus
I hope and I pray,
Maybe one day,
We.ll all get a chance to say,
We finally made it!
I.ll keep my head to the sky,
Keep my eye on the prize,
Maybe then by and by,
We.ll finally make it.
Verse 2 Symantix
In the beginning I did it for fun.
But it was out of love so I did it for crumbs.
I knew if I stayed on my grind and stuck to my guns,
It was inevitable, the money would come.
So I plan my work and worked my plan.
The last to lay it down and the first to stand.
The first to get it cracking and the last to quit.
If hard word was a class then I mastered it.
But I had my bought with fears and doubts.
People the built me up just to tear me down.
People that turned about, when my hand stretch out.
You know the so-called .friends. that aint never around?
But I stuck to it though the blues and the pain,
And I stuck to it through confusion and rain,
And I.m-a stick to it though what ever they bring.
They aint putting my asleep just to still my dream!
Chorus
I hope and I pray,
Maybe one day,
We.ll all get a chance to say,
We finally made it!
I.ll keep my head to the sky,
Keep my eye on the prize,
Maybe then by and by,
We.ll finally make it.
Verse 3 Symantix
With the diseased invested waters.
And the fathers molesting daughters.
It.s like the sheep is lead to slaughter
No wander profits claim this is the "New World Order"
Shit, half my friends can.t get no job,
The other half done been laid off.
Big Business is fudging the books,
Economy on the ledge and they trying to push.
But I.m-a go-on keep my head up fo sho,
Cause we got some shit that they never could know.
They aint the Gods and they aint in control.
We gonna bust any door down they think they can close!
Bridge
Where you at in life?
What you want in life?
Do you have in life
Everything that you think you need in life?
What are the answers
To all these problems?
Who has the power?
I wanna know. PLEASE I wanna know!
Chorus
I hope and I pray,
Maybe one day,
We.ll all get a chance to say,
We finally made it!
I.ll keep my head to the sky,
Keep my eye on the prize,
Maybe then by and by,
We.ll finally make it.
