darkest days

I'd rather die like a soldier than live aware of your lies
Outlaw motherf*ckers, my troops got close ties
Til death do us part, I'll finish what you start
Critics getting diminished, god blessed a true heart
See these punks never gave a f*ck about us
We told 'em 'bout the pain that they inflicted and they had the nerve to doubt us
So f*ck 'em, republicans, democrats, same sh*t
Put 'em on the spot and they gon' show you that you ain't sh*t
We gotta take command, make 'em fear us
Way too used to steer us, n*ggas turning fearless
In these hard times, watch who you're bustin' at
You take another brother and his mother might have nothing left
To live for, jealousy is killing our own kinfolk
We let 'em pillage what we build then wonder why we still broke
sh*t, they're playing games with our minds
And we're complicit in their crime, n*gga f*ck that

Will you fight?
Through the darkest of these days
(be prepared for these hard times)
Conquer the night
Keep your smile through all the pain
('cause where we at ain't no sunshine)

Though I walk through the valley of hell, I see clearly
My folks burning on stakes, their screams echo eerily
No way out, suffering for sh*t they were forced to do
To get through, we ain't part of the chosen few
No silver spoon since birth
They were born into a world that's cursed and it hurts
See, we struggle to survive on the daily
Wading through the blood of our homies so that we may see
The sun rise after a night full of fever dreams
Lord, save my people if you hear me speak
How can you judge us the same way
As the people lying for their profit and then killing for their payday?
We’re but animals born to fight, leave behind
A weak flame and just mourn the bright
Our lifetime running out, wasted years being slaves
Instead of using our own rage, make 'em pay, n*gga

Will you fight?
Through the darkest of these days
(be prepared for these hard times)
Conquer the night
Keep your smile through all the pain
('cause I hate to spend my life, my life, my life, my life,
Duckin' one time)

Just wait until the rain turns to sunshine
'cause my block is always shrouded in clouds, ain't seen no smiles for a long time
Strays hitting kids, laid in a ditch
Why do we even keep on praying in this b*tch, lord?
Ain't sh*t changed, we still living in sin
Money makes a n*gga turn from homie to killing his kin
Repetitive patterns, a rush for cash
While acting like the key to happiness is up for grabs
We’ll never leave this slum no matter if we try
Too many of us have died on a quest to take flight
Pour out a lil liquor for your road dogs
Keep your glock cocked 'cause these streets never show love
Stick to the rules or you might lose your life
Only the light inside your heart will guide you through the night
I'm trapped in the mind of a lost soul
But I ain't never lost hope (and my people say)

Will you fight?
Through the darkest of these days
(be prepared for these hard times)
Conquer the night
Keep your smile through all the pain
('cause where we at ain't no sunshine)

This is dedicated to my people… lost in the struggle,
All these motherf*ckers tryin to keep you down,
In these dark days its hard to keep your smile…
Just stay with me for a while,
We went through so much blood, tears and sweat to be where we at,
And still they place their bets…
On our downfall
But homie… we will prevail
