Lyrics

Life

[Hook: Karriem Riggins]

We made it through

Single mothers, locked fathers

Torn families, East-West rivalries

Hip-hop, jazz music

Thanksgiving, the best time for family

Crack pipes, dirty needles

The government, lying to the people

Live mics, sturdy needles

The main ingredient fro rocking my people

[Sample]

Control, international

Doubt objection!

[Repeated Hook: Karriem Riggings]

We made it through

Single mothers, locked fathers

Torn families, East-West rivalries

Hip-hop, jazz music

Thanksgiving, the best time for family

Crack pipes, dirty needles

The government, lying to the people

Live mics, sturdy needles

The main ingredient fro rocking my people

[Verse: Karriem Riggins]

It's time we get back to the youth

Put words together shed light in the booth

While stabbing it in and stabbing it out

Sometimes the best way in's the only way out

Hip-hop is sick, we need the rap vitamin

I'm venting through the track, so we can see the light again

Dark tunnel, soul music prevail

Prevail

And we will
