How Many - Natalie Oliveri, Daniel Taylor, Robert Strauss

How many gone

How many left

I try be strong

You see I do my best

I do this for you

I do this for you

I do this for you

So tell me what you sacrificed

You see prophets still need advice

Who’s selling souls here without a price

If I said it once then I said it twice

I thought in my head when I rapped I’m not good enough Talking about God and

the stars in my bars

Is strictly not hood enough

My brother sat me down and told me to listen

Don’t play with your vision

We keep in control cause this is your soul

And this our living

I’m stuck in the game

I mean we all complain with ourselves to blame

But our future plain and yet we still remain

Then the levels changed and you feel our pain

And the devils playing

Outside my window pain

No sunshine I just see rain

Kurt Cobain all this pain

Push the drug up in your vain

How you living how you dying

Paint the picture for Gods frames

Spread my wings just to fly

Ain’t no staying in my lanes

They can lock the doors

And burn the books

We still rise from the flames

How many gone

How many left

I try be strong

You see I do my best

I do this for you

I do this for you

I do this for you

And if you do the dance with the devil

Just know he won’t finish

Been torn apart from the start

But I know my heart beat has no limits

We just got to get it

Our dreams in abundance with substance

It never sounds pathetic

Black people in the ghetto we live

Put us at the bottom we hit

No Malcolm no Martin no Marcus no Mandela we’re it

At times I wanna say I just quit

Walk in my fathers shoes

If i choose to prove the ones that don’t fit

Should I just stick to the script man

Should I keep it legit man I’m asking

Bumpy ride we fasten seat belts

As we walk right past him

I’m trying to see God up in the mirror

But the Devils laughing

Hollywood screens plays our story with a different casting

These lies are everlasting

When we will the truth happen

We multiplying never dying

Breath that understanding

Freedom through my rapping

Cause the chains are in locked within us

I’m looking for the master keys

To make our souls the winners

How many gone

How many left

I try be strong

You see I do my best

I do this for you

I do this for you

I do this for you

Bridge

I do this for you

I do this for you

I do this for you

I do this for you

For your love

I do this for you

We need to slow down slow down

A king and queen in destiny

Now look what we found

Now God is in your soul

So why we staying on the ground

How many others left please take a look around

We need to slow down slow down

A king and queen in destiny

Now look what we found

Now God is in your soul

So why we staying on the ground

How many gone

How many left

I try be strong

You see I do my best

I do this for you

I do this for you

I do this for you
