ABOUT THIS TRACK:

Poetic: To say the least I wasn't trying to make any friends with this song. I did it for me and to try something different. Tone gave me a track that allowed me to let out some frustrations. Everyone should have the confidence to follow their dreams and know what they stand for in life.

Big shouts to DJ Inform for getting ill wit the scratch cuts!

lyrics

LYRICS:

Get Up
Get Up.
Get Up
Uh huh.
Get Up
Get Up
Never will you see me bow down to a mother fucker.
If you got beef I’m around town mother fucker
we can throw down.
But really now , How you gunna clown on da same people
That showed you love when you was just glass…

48 sec….I see u… see thru.. u weak dude. And We knew.. who u…

Really were
the man behind mask will never last
if you keep runnnig that fast in the wrong direction Man
How you think gunna make it
nobody can relate
Anything you say…Anything u potray
It’s all lies anyway. Whens the day. Radio will play.
Something from an real artist Anyway
Cause my people starving..In the garden.. harvestn’ da winter.
Cuase in order be a winner you needa sacrifice your inner
tendencies of a sinner.
But me no beginner.
Me be a go getter
Me will achieve my dreams on balconies looking at the sea
Feeling the ocean breeze
In love with my blessings & in love with my tradgeies.
Either way they both made me , me
Either wayThey both made me , free

********
2:15
Really were
The man behind others scars,
Lingering at bars, trying act hard
Looking for your next victim
Yo it’s sickening how I gotta share da same air
Peeling back da layers to a prayer that was never there
It aint fair,
Either way we gunna make it
And never let ‘em take
Da essence of our presence
help our brethren get
closer to the light.
Closer to the warmth.
No longer need to cry
No longer harmed
Get you on path to da source
Off da course of remorse…
Yo we gunna march forth.
With the help of the Lord
And we’ll never stop.
It’s All for the love
All For the love of hip hop
