Attica

[Verse] Quarter water raised me From a boy to a man Like the shore to the sand, nigga I’m just tryna be free I got a plan that you wouldn’t understand Inmates to the man, now the BC’s See this is Attica for the soul Revolution, barricade all the doors Let 'em know my soul ain’t for sale And won’t be concealed in no type of cell A cubical, the resistance different than a cuticle, shit is beautiful When they try and break ya but they couldn’t graze ya ‘Cause you high up in the sky Nigga, why you admiring the pie? Come get you a slice 'fore these muhfuckas eat it all But life ain’t cake, full of trials and tribulate But we good ‘cause we beat 'em all My maker hold my fate and I know we got a date So I’m good if I don’t see tomorrow I’m scrapin' up the plates, stuffin' life in my face Just in case I never see tomorrow Just in case I gotta see the morgue Well in that case I hope I see Allah And ask him why he had to take Amir Man I really miss ya, it’s been too many years I see you and your sisters, I see you and your kids I see my aunt crying, man she spilled too many tears But know this, fuck showbiz If I make it anywhere, your kids already there And boy you know we think about you every year Every month, every week, every night in my sleep I hope you come and visit like you do my pops Man I just wanna kick it like we used to Allah, please give a nigga blues clues Why you take him? Why you spare me? ‘Cause I remember clearly Sounds in my ears of them bullets flying near me [Hook] We ain’t promised today We ain’t promised today We ain’t promised today Nigga, no time to waste Don’t contemplate, just fly away Yea fly, yea fly, yea fly All my niggas just fly, yea fly, yea fly Let’s go We ain’t promised today We ain’t promised today We ain’t promised today Nigga, no time to waste Don’t contemplate, just fly away Yea fly, yea fly, yea fly Boy fly, yea fly, yea fly [Outro] For the fallen soldiers Rise in my dreams Rise in my dreams For the fallen soldiers Rise in my dreams Rise in my dreams For the fallen soldiers Rise in my dreams Rise in my dreams For the fallen soldiers Rise in my dreams Rise in my dreams Rise, rise, rise, rise, rise… Rise, rise, rise, rise, rise…
