Maxwell Davis - Haunting Lyrics

We risin'

We risin' up

The poor tax
Enough to keep a soul so broke
You know how many dollar store items cheaper in bulk
You know how many Mom and Pop's displaced by these giants
And still die tryin'
Every time that they fight it
In the end, it's our health
But you speaking in theory
Incremental wealth, keeps on killin' us clearly
Man, meat more processed than some auto tune
Don't try and sing along if you ain't the realest of dudes
Most these politicians care less about they mower
Than they do their front lawn, baby, what does it show ya?
We disenfranchised, strong, we ain't buying no Goya
In fact, I'm chillin' in the back still burnin' Toyotas
It's universal healthcare, man, the blood is in motion
We need that UBI now! Stakeholders promotion!
Yeah, the people march on
What can we show ya
We got the millions on our side
You can never control us

You can never control us
You can never control us

You can never control us
You can never control us

These corporations evolved
To be real people
These corporations evolved
To be a real new evil
We the people are facing a system too problematic
And it's easy at the club to say I'm actin' dramatic
But every day I keep on stretching like I'm Mr. Fantastic
All this alcohol talk, comin' straight from an addict
Ya got me actin' erratic
I swear this shit is too tragic
But I'm feeling the magic
Baby I'm feeling the magic!
Say, "we gon' be free when we march through these streets"
Let me hear ya preach
Yeah, let me hear ya teach
Ain't this f*cker impeached?
Sheesh
I just need escape and relief
Maybe I just need some pape and some Cheech
(Damn)

Oooh
Yeah
Oooh
We risin'
We risin'

I be payin' health bills,
Man, the cancer expensive
And even on the welfare
It's still all Smith and Wessons
The price of convenience
Are you ready to pay?
Do you want right now?
Well it's higher today
See, we starvin' while we marchin'
The emotions never fade
We angry, we ain't stoppin'
It's the racism for me
It's the fact you'd rather die
Than admit it's a disease
It's lie after lie
Then they do as they please
See, we starvin' while we marchin'
Won't be stoppin' today
A bank's window not my problem
I should probably say
It's human life over property
An obvious option
Despite all this bullshit that they been talkin'
Another week, another rent price jump
Another chump getting friends in some multi-marketing scum
Ya know I'm only f*ckin' crazy
'Cuz they made me this way
Schizophrenic lifestyles
Got me crazy til death!
Man, get off your f*ckin' phone
It's a social dilemma
You're addicted to pretendin'
Life will ever get better
See the change starts from within
Speak with all your passion, your intent
If you showin' up to fight and know why
You won't cry in the end
We never waiver all the passion we've been maskin' within
It's in the whims of our skin
I feel it mountin' again
We're gaslit, tear-gassed from the blindest of men
We try and laugh, move past
But reality actually is
The numbers rising by the fraction of death
It's a question worth asking:
Human life or a check?
I'll place mine on the people til my very last breath
While we starvin', we be marchin'
I'll be marchin' again
While we starvin', we be marchin'
I'll be marchin' again
Even if I'm f*ckin' starvin'
I know what freedom actually is
Ima say: "Live and Let Live"

Live and Let Live
Live and Let Live

Ima keep preachin', man
Live and Let Live

Ima keep preachin', man
Live and Let Live

We gon keep shootin', man
No, we never quit
