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…
