We can make it if we try
It's alright, it's alright
Build heaven for us now
And ask us inside
Somewhere our souls can move like water
Move like water
We'll be flowing down the mountainside
Lately I can move like water
Daily on the news, see toddlers
Being passed off to a soldier
Woke up in the morning
Another Daunte Wright
Out on Brooklyn boulevard
We don't call it a ride
It's a product of the people that don't have to cry
Cuz the government plotting against they life
Fufu soup
No GB at night
Two civil wars with a kid by side
Hop on the plane
Cuz it's life or death
I can't complain
It's not internet
Tie up the strings and getting my checks
Running like Nike
My mental be stressed
No they don't like me
I'm melanin pressed
Sharp like my creases
I leave em impressed
I'm biting my bullets here
I know my motive here
Blue stripes I'm Nipsey
I hustle and motivate
Not ashamed of my down days, yeah
I can move again
Not losing faith
Can't be frozen
Stuck in the sand
All love is faith
Forgive 'em and let go of hate
Jesus wept, it's gonna be okay
We can make it if we try
It's alright, it's alright
Build heaven for us now
And ask us inside
Somewhere our souls can move like water
Move like water
We'll be flowing down the mountainside
Oh
Wanna flow but I want control
And the drop is steep
I'm unwilling to take that leap
(Not anymore)
It's the power you hide
Came from the womb with the means to fly
But unwilling to even try
We can make it if we try
