Light it up
Light it up
Aye yo
When the dust falls
And the smoke clears
You should be here
You should be here
This is my path
When the lights flash
I'mma be here
I'mma be here
Its a war going on
No man is safe
I lost my homeboy
Just the other day before my face
We was walking
We was talking
We was chopping
We was grinding
But I didn't see the bullets
I was blinded by the sirens
WHOA
Cause the assailant was a pro
He had a whole group with him
The known as the Po-Po
And they was like
FREEZE
Then my homeboy sneezed
They ain't even give him a chance to say
Don't shoot... Please... hold up
They just squeezed... yeah
Then they lit his body up
A couple hundred degrees
Now we searching for the answers
For his mother to grieve
She steady beating on his chest
She saying... Breathe BABY
Breathe
When the dust falls
And the smoke clears
You should be here
You should be here
This is my path
When the lights flash
I'mma be here
I'mma be here
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
See they label me a criminal
They got me in the system
If you look inside my eyes
You'll see visions of a prison
Got a couple strikes against me
Cause I'm black with ambition
They don't care if I'm innocent
They say dope is how I'm living
Violate my civil rights
And they don't need no permission
Got the evidence on camera
But it ain't in they vision
They abusing they authority
It's in they jurisdiction
Plus the cop's a good guy
He wasn't trained for this position
But they want me to trust the system
I can't sit back and watch my people die
Under they supervision... NO
Give me the keys to the ignition
I'm 'bout to ride until the wheels fall off
I'M ON A MISSION
When the dust falls
And the smoke clears
You should be here,
You should be here
This is my path
When the lights flash
I'mma be here
I'mma be here
When the dust falls
And the smoke clears
You should be here
You should be here
This is my path
When the lights flash
You should be here
I'mma be here
When the dust falls
And the smoke clears
You should be here
You should be here
This is my path
When the lights flash
You should be here
I'mma be here
Imma be here
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Light it up
