Raze The Bar

Get em up, yeah, lift em up
Raise em up (come on)
Let's get involved y'all
Cause I ain't here for the fancy cars
I just came here to raise the bar
And hear my people say
Get em up, yeah, lift em up
Raise em up (come on)
Let's get involved y'all
Cause I ain't here for the fancy cars
I just came here to raise the bar
And hear my pеople say

Physically drained just from getting in thе game
Cause I'd rather make change than to get at some change, and
Can't nobody spit it the same, talk about peace
You're considered a lame, but why's that
Stopped begging for the industry to let us in
Stopped letting them dilute my medicine
They call me crazy cause I heard nothing lately
That'll make me relate to these fake G's, y'all
Wanna impress me, change your subject
Pac and Biggie been gone 8 years without a suspect
Quoting their records like you love them so much
I stand on my own two, never needed no crutch
And so what if my joint don't blow up
It's a man's game and y'all need to grow up
Be a leader, stop following trends and set 'em
And if they ask you to change, then forget 'em
Yeah

Get em up, yeah, lift em up
Raise em up (come on)
Let's get involved y'all
Cause I ain't here for the fancy cars
I just came here to raise the bar
And hear my people say

I pray to God just to see another day alive
And I survive no matter how great the odds
Taking charge cause it's a new year
And my resolution is a revolution
And Mike Powell wanna censor what I write down
BET don't reflect my lifestyle
Your democracy is nothing but hypocrisy
Need to revise your philosophy
I gotta see better days, cause you know the game is cold
The devil giving out Bentleys in exchange for souls
And I ain't that boy that'll flip that raw
I just spit that raw that the kids ask for
When it hits that store, it's a breath of fresh air
And all questions will be answered when I get there
Visualize the truth and become
If each one teach one, then thy will be done
Yeah

Get em up, yeah, lift em up
Raise em up (come on)
Let's get involved y'all
Cause I ain't here for the fancy cars
I just came here to raise the bar
And hear my people say

I’m sick of thugs, tired of pimps and players
Sick of Evisu Jeans, sick of Timbs and Gators
Sick of singles with R&B chicks
I’m tired of every hot rapper on your remix
I’m sick of everybody talkin’ bout they pack heat
I’m tired of rappers coming off sweet over whack beats
Sick of the same producers on everybody’s record
Tired of Black women getting disrespected
I’m sick of the radio for playing the same song
Ten minutes later “dang that just came on”
Tired of kids who can’t comprehend
But know 50 Cent from beginning to end
Sick of filling out these applications
Tired of going to more funerals than graduations
And I’m sick of people who can’t get inspired
And I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired

Get em up, yeah, lift em up
Raise em up (come on)
Let's get involved y'all
Cause I ain't here for the fancy cars
I just came here to raise the bar
And hear my people say
