Story behind the song
All kinds of shit going on in the world today... Thing is, I'm not trying to be a preacher, I'm just letting y'all know my point of view on the whole situation!
Lyrics
[Chorus - Prophit]
It's real life, when I'm feeling beat down by the fights/
It's real nice, whenever I lay my mouth to the mic/
It's real soft, when I lay my baby brother to sleep/
It's real hard, just try'na' get something to eat/
It's real life, when I'm feeling beat down by the fights/
It's real nice, whenever I lay my mouth to the mic/
It's real soft, when I lay my baby brother to sleep/
It's real hard, just try'na' get something to eat/
[Verse 1 - Prophit]
It's real life, when failure by demand occurs/
See, we have freedom of speech, but no means to be heard/
With a government, that never gave a fuck about healthcare/
Malls that won't let you shop on welfare/
We try'na' get well, hell yeah, we want green/
Our conscience fighting the American dream/
Never look down climbing the ladder of success/
'Cause lesser people are trambled beneath your footsteps/
Real life getting drowned by, dollars and euros/
Fake votes given to the 18-year-olds/
They try'na' make you think that we own the game/
While the media propagandizes your brain/
Ain't it a shame, that whenever it rains, it pours/
They can afford a war, but no food for the poor/
That's why there's few Uncle Sam posters in the stores/
'Cause why send the bright minds to die abroad?/
People fighting for freedom, but when lives get lost/
The government wins, the cost outweighs the cause/
Cheap car exhaustfumes polluting the air/
But oil equals money, so nobody really cares/
Anybody who dares to give a fuck is removed/
The quality of life never improved, we live to lose/
We try'na' walk in the shoes of those before-us/
With cement around our feet, 'cause they just ignore-us/
The population screaming in pain, no one can hear the struggle/
Our voices drowning each others in the concrete jungle/
We die for survival, and kill our brothers/
Deep down, we're all blood, why kill each other?/
They hold our reigns, they teach us to be bad fathers/
While we try'na' find ours, but why should we bother?/
All it takes to fade away, is just a lil' weed/
All it takes is drug-money, to buy what you need/
All it takes is another mans life destroyed/
So we can go out and buy our lil' kids some toys/
While the rest of the money lands in the pockets of traitors/
Our money spent on guns, so they can call us invaders/
Countries depicting the struggle, only greater/
See, we wanna' get of rid of anybody who hate-us/
We curse God, but all he was, was the creator/
We pay money to those we should curse for what they made-us/
Generation X is not what we are/
We 'generation MTV, 'cause we all wanna' floss/
We never look to the sky, but we still see stars/
Why bless God? Bless whoever made your car/
A diamond is forever, you're no longer alone/
Who gives a fuck about the kids from Sierra Leone?/
We treat 'em like dogs, hardly ever toss 'em a bone/
Their lives destroyed, and we hardly own our own/
They pay children 19 cents a week/
So we can spend a hundred dollars on brand-new sneaks/
Peace doesn't sell, why 'you think it's all about crime?/
They say we fucking up the world, just to mess with our minds/
They tell lil' kids they can all be presidents/
But take it back, they need suckers for residents/
Atrocidies commicted, they conceal the evidence/
Jesus was never white, and far from heaven-sent/
They trade lives like slaves, sell 'em pound for pound/
We fighting a war, but can't find the battlegrounds/
The prices are jacked, they trade blood for oil/
American graveyards on another mans soil/
We try'na' bring down the house, but still pay the rent/
We have a leader with nobody to represent/
We want shelter from war, but who you think is hostile?/
Republican government running-it like a brothel/
They fuck with our lives and we all give thanks/
Our president is no stronger than the common bank/
They try'na' ban any religion but theirs, that ain't right/
And save the best jobs for anybody that's white/
I see God for what he is, no
