Dee Kae
(Kizzle)
Yeah Yeah
(Them good 'ole days)
Sometimes I think about that stuff you know
Here it goes
(Reminiscence)

I think about my lessons
That I learned in adolescence
Growing pains of my youth
It was just a convalescence
Becoming stronger and wiser
With each and every day that I pray
To go out and do better to keep my people from being slain
Institutionalized
Marginalized
Ostracized
With no surprise
Between the lies
Within her thighs
Comes the surprise of a lifetime
That fine wine
Like mind bomb
She's a bad piece like a dime
Lost on the road with no compass and nothing to show
For the disdain one obtains
When you lose in hope
And you gloat
When you stand tall
Praying not to fall
People point and laugh and stare at you
Because of the cause
Oh well all ain't well
This world crazy
Makes me yell
Can't you tell
My people's mind poison
Making them frail
We can't fail no
To make this bail
Yeah yeah yeah
(Do It)

Bring me to my youth
So we can know the truth
I know I've found the proof
So we can cut this noose
Call this the breaking news
We'll see the freedom soon
Yeah yeah

Success is a potent word
Success is a potent word
Like nightingales in the tree
We call it a songbird
These people lying
Our people dying
They're getting prayed on in the streets
By the piggy-lions
When you think about freedom
It doesn't exist at least not for us
The reason why we're screaming
In God we trust with the fists raised
The guns they bust
In armored trucks
The all-black tux
All for their lusts
Which all will rust
According to the plains and such
Aye Go

Bring me to my youth
So we can know the truth
I know I've found the proof
So we can cut this noose
Call this the breaking news
We'll see the freedom soon
So we can know the truth
And we will cut this noose
I know I broke that noose
We'll see the freedom soon
Yeah Yeah
Keep 'ya head up
Go forward don't stop
Keep climbing don't quit
Don't drop
