I'm up early

standing sturdy

thinking about these moves I been making

yea you may think its nerdy

cuz I ain't about the blue bands

I'm a new man in my cool stance

chilling in my D hat

been a minute since I got up off the food stamps

and I'ma do my little dance

so turn the beat on

get the party on

it's the Mitten mardi gras

from gun-rule thru the raggedy you'll find my family

this was imaginary till I met "P" words of wisdom help you see what they say is out of reach

I'm putting my faith in God to take the lead

keep on digging deeper every verse

I'm only on the surface

but yet these demons trying to hurt us

gotta get back I the action

my passion for the masses

until I'm buried or a pile of ashes

I'm trying to be a light

so spread me across the world

I got a message about life

and hey

I must have something right

【hook】

I'm sick of all this hating and killin

living life for the feeling

you ain't mo-realer

that ain't no future in that

just out here pushing that gas

you got your whole life in your pocket

I don't doubt it

aint stepping out the crib without a rocket

then chalk it up for what it is

till one of these kids die

and it's sad that it takes that to realize

we need to stand up and stand together

there ain't a change without a sacrifice

it's how you better yourself

when your picking your route

you gotta have direction

can't be running your mouth

burning bridges down

I'd rather be a blessing than a burden

the best version of me

is the only on you want from M.A.P

U-P-R-Y-Z-I-N thats who I am and that's who I been

so turn the beat on get the party going

if you believe this then you gotta show it

put your hands up if you know

【hook】

We need to make changes in ourselves

we need to make changes in our communities

everyone blaming politicians and cops

but there is no unity

anywhere

and I don't think this coronavirus has weakened us but shown us where the weakness is

we need to stand up and strengthen and come together

or we will fall together

and that's a fact of life

listen to your heart

what's right
