(Chris Louis) Its gotta work You feel the pain inside N you know its gonna hurt But this shall pass And you shall finally show your worth Every breath Every moment u have spent here on this earth Its time to rise above and conquer all this hurt Make it work.. Make it.. Ima man of words, many thoughts actions speak most people talk Visualizin in their hearts The taste of fame, toppin charts Making accusations that they'll See me when I catch that spark Uh...My best regards But I highly doubt they'll Have such luck (Lupe Fiasco) Now all your outsides are in a rush, and all your insides are out of touch, and then you realize, Real lives, life the idea dies. And the crush, pulverized into dust, And the poltergeist rises up, Under the hill lies, Now lies us, Cut lady luck knifes didn't gassed us up. Cause your pleasure is painful, yeah you know, you know, you know, well it's worse, cause you don't know, just how much it, I'm writing you, In spite of you, The conflict rests inside of you, Dividing you, Devour you, Defeating and de-power you. Depletin and deflower you, Revolutions waiting on the hour to, Expose our love, And weakness of the powerful. Redefine uncomfortable, Is currently the question, And the suffering, The famous nameless angels are up under you. Your happiness is killing me, The fantasy and fantasize, Insanity romantically are, Pleasure is painful, yeah you know, you know, you know, well it's worse, when you don't know, just how much it hurts. Uh. (Chris Louis) I got something for you If u already know then its probably true Old news.. Heard it before Wanna get a deal when he out on tour but no one ever works for The cream or the croix (crop) Less the crop of the cream Got a cherry on top Yes I'm on the english shit I had to come proper since t knibbs quit He was sick of the clicks And the mix sound lame Sick of the kids Spittin chicks and game Tryna paint a picture But they missed the frame Try ta catch a ride But they missed the train Damn and it hurt so bad We were kickin shit before these kids could rap.. Now if you got a mic And you got a mac Every man want it Till it fuckin hurt so bad

(Chris Louis) People wanna know tell me what the problem is I'm not the one to be breaking all these promises We in a world of hate and dealing with the consequence And I don't even know if any one else has some common sense. Uhh and we neglect to feel Would rather go numb then feel a pain so real Deep within our hearts I couldn't chart how much it kills If no one else can build it up Ill take the lead and truly will (Chorus) We're in a world at war in need of peace will it ever end? Where's the answer? Save the laugh, don't lose the faith, it's time for change. Never let em bring you down, build it up, build it up. I'm tearing down the barricades, build it up, build it up together we're more than this. (Chris Louis) Hearts break so fast but can it slow down? Always takes time to heal but they don't know now they just don't know how to heal the pain as they suffer Never really had to deal with the pain of losing another Damn seen her cry herself to sleep and i never felt another persons pain so deeply See me I could build my strength just to carry on Life is never fair but at least I care enough to write this song. (Chorus) World at war in need of peace will it ever end? Where's the answer? Save the laugh, don't lose the faith, it's time for change. Never let em bring you down, build it up, build it up. I'm tearing down the barricades, build it up, build it up (Chris Louis) 25 years deep n I'm still here. Tell me if you understand is my message still clear? Here take my words, my voice, Or my soul but atleast you'll always have the words I'm writing in this song And the strength to carry on Please keep your faith too.. Isn't the time to be letting people break you What doesn't kill you in the end Stronger it will make you. its time to build it up And see how far this shit will take you. (Chorus) We're in a world of war in need for peace will it ever end? Save the laugh, don't lose the faith, it's time for change. Never let em bring you down World at war in need for peace will it ever end? Where's the answer? Save the laugh, don't lose the faith, it's time for change. Never let em bring you down, build it up, build it up. I'm tearing down the barricades, build it up, build it up together we're more than this. World at war in need for peace will it ever end? Where's the answer? Save the laugh, don't lose the faith, it's time for change. Never let em bring you down, build it up, build it up. I'm tearing down the barricades, build it up, build it up

Man... We all came too far Me, I came and saw Yet to conquer But Ill be honored If its not too soon Or not too far Not by noon or not tomorrow Not my time Then its not my fault If Its not my heart Then its not my call If I never rise Then I never fall is it all too soon? If lifes a bitch then I'm the groom I'd assume, shed marry me and if I treat her wrong then she could leave Be my eve, bite the apple You know me ill follow after Any challenge I could tackle Free your soul I'm your pastor (Chorus) Dreams are often dreamt Some people sleep I already slept Already wept, shed my tears Dealt with pain, helped my peers Dealt with fears, only God Held my own, from the start. Even tho most men fall apart I kept my guard and I carried on Through it all I took note of what I did, heard felt and saw. Good and bad I felt it all Tears of pain And tears of joy... What.. doesn't kill me I destroy i destroy..

(Nas) Yo... Ill Will (T. Knibbs) its your boy tknibbs and C.L. (Nas) straight like that (Blame God.. Blame God he blew breathe in my lungs) (Chris Louis) Check how I flew across seas..

Don't they ever realize that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. The past doesn't predict The future in my eyes Creator of the earth, the fruit was our demise. They ruthless with the lies So who do you despise? If my actions speaks louder Louder than these words can Tellin me they cut As if I was a surgeon General warning, words born from my breathe if you take that away I guess I'm marked for death Its always sex, money, drugs,murder, women andn alcohol.. But where would most of yall be without it all? Guess that would be your downfall (Chorus) (Nas) You a killer or a hustler dealer or customer Gangsta or buster, youngster an old nigga A weed head, a coke sniffer You rich or a broke nigga Know you all relate to this shit that i wrote niggas Lots of my mans trapped up in a max Penatentary, sending me letters i answer back That eventually, we be all bentley'ed out Throwing campaigns, fuck it I'm running for White House My niggas control Senate, pipe seats jeeps tinted Mad Lewinsky chicks, some kinky shit Did dirt now I knew it would come back one day So I'm on point, strapped, prepare for gunplay Stared at one face, thought it was beef he looked familiar Ready to blast ,nigga gave me dap said I feel ya Can't believe how my life changed From the hood, the first time in my life I can say i did the right thing.
