Yeah. Turn the bass up in the monitors. Let it breathe.
This ain’t just a track, man. This is a heartbeat.
For everybody out there fighting demons, fighting the system, fighting themselves.
We feeling everything tonight.
Let’s ride.
Wake up in the morning, hear the sirens sing
Another brother gone, man, it hurts to think
Look in the mirror, see the demons in my eyes
But I got a heart full of love beneath these ghetto skies
They try to break the spirit, put the chains on the mind
But I’m a rose from the concrete, one of a kind
Pour a little liquor for the homies in the dirt
I feel my mother’s prayers every time it hurts
I got the pain in my chest, but the fire in my soul
Trying to find a piece of heaven in a world so cold
So I let the rhythm guide me, let the melody speak
I’m giving voice to the voiceless, I’m fighting for the weak!
So we ride through the pain, let the bassline knock!
Got the whole block bouncing when we hit the block!
It’s music for the soul, yeah, we bleeding for the truth
Got the devil on my heels but I’m dancing in my shoes!
Yeah, we living for the moment, dying for the cause
Thug life in our veins, breaking all the laws
Feel the rhythm in your chest, let it heal your mind
Leave the sorrow in the dust, we the chosen kind!
Now switch the flow, let the adrenaline pump!
Heart beating like an 808, feel the thump!
I’m going all out, no brakes on this ride
Got my day-ones with me, yeah, we rolling side by side
They want to see me fall, put my face in the mud
But I rise like the phoenix, baptized in the blood!
So turn the speakers up till the windows shake
This is for the real ones, for the ones awake!
We party in the ghetto, but we thinking like kings
Got the gold on my neck but it’s the soul that sings
I’m sweating out the trauma, I’m dancing out the grief
Every time I hit the stage, man, I bring relief!
So jump! If you feeling the pain!
Scream! If you going insane!
We turning all our tears into a hurricane!
So we ride through the pain, let the bassline knock!
Got the whole block bouncing when we hit the block!
It’s music for the soul, yeah, we bleeding for the truth
Got the devil on my heels but I’m dancing in my shoes!
Yeah, we living for the moment, dying for the cause
Thug life in our veins, breaking all the laws
Feel the rhythm in your chest, let it heal your mind
Leave the sorrow in the dust, we the chosen kind!
Lord, can you hear me through the static and the noise?
I’m just a soldier trying to find a little joy
For every tear my mama cried, I’ma wipe it dry
For every brother in a cell, I’ma touch the sky
We ain’t perfect, we just human, trying to survive
But as long as I got breath in me, the spirit’s alive.
So let the beat drop heavy, let the bassline bleed!
I’m planting hope and revolution in the seed!
They got the guns, but we got the power of the pen
I’m writing out the gospel for the lost and the men
Who think there is no way out, think the system is a trap
But I’m breaking through the matrix, put the world on my back!
I’m giving you my heart, I’m giving you my breath
Every single lyric is a step away from death
So raise your glasses high, let the liquor pour
When I’m gone, just remember what I’m fighting for!
Keep your head up! Keep your mind right!
We the kings of the jungle, we the rulers of the night!
Yeah.
Keep your head up, n***a.
Don’t let ‘em break your spirit.
We out here living, breathing, feeling every single second.
To everybody in the trenches, to everybody in the clubs, to everybody looking for salvation in the bassline.
This is for you.
Westside. Outlawz.
Till the wheels fall off.
We out.
