We Got Soul - Wrekonize

Uncage the beast, I think it’s time to live

My momma wander 'round my dreams and screaming «Find them kids!»

We gone, momma, into the further I’mma go diving beyond the drama

Into my subconscious trauma 'til my soul’s so comma

Comma, backspace, this can’t be life, silly rat race

Started back when white rappers were viewed as bad as black face

Kids teased my dad for being kind of crack race

Stupid fuckers seeing black and white, you really lack taste

My mom did dance to keep us fed, the exotic kind

I was too young to understand it wasn’t conga line

But I was never shamed, not once I learned from all the grind

That’s probably why I never suited up and Columbined!

Better myself to go and hustle anyway I knew

A million jobs it took for me to get on stage with you

This is that battle cry, welcome to The War Within

Pick up your tools and point them back at you, you’re born again!

Uncage the beast, I think it’s time to live

My father wander 'round my dreams and screaming

«Hide your ribs!»

You know they’ll shank you

My medicine’s in the arm and I move around the piranhas

Cause all them things you taught us and I don’t know how to thank you

Pops, I’ve kept my eyes locked up on the plot

Watch the cops and crops and it just never stops

I get messages online about if we’re Illuminati

And I reply to them smiling, all like «Fuck it kid, you got me!»

But truth be told I’m just like you and yours

And all that secret society talk is what’s distracting you from more

Don’t let 'em take you down with fairy tales of Masonry

Cause most of time it ain’t half as true as what you think it be

Even the villains have their street teams

These needles filled with weak dreams

Poking us with sicknesses and bleak jeans

This is The War Within, started back in '83

I got soul, so good fucking luck, on breaking me

Looks like another perfect day

To live like it’s the last

I’m just living fast

And trying not to miss the past

You can see that everything

Inside you plays a role

So let it take its toll

You know, we got soul
