Make It Over - Emanon

Whatever they serve, we’re gonna take it

Strengthen your will, they can’t break it

If you living the dream, they can’t wake it

Never be poor, broke, and naked

As long as we got each other

Look out for one another

We’re gonna make it over

Feeling the strain of years and my hairline’s receding

And my eyes get blurry when I do too much reading

Things got me believing that I really am human

Need to watch the words of the fools that I’m consuming

Need to watch the messages and knowledge that I’m spreading

Cuz it seems that more and more poetry is dead

And all the people want is money

But money can’t buy you love and happiness

Even though some people try

You know the rich and get rich

And the poor get the short end of the stick

So they stick up the rich for cash quick

And the rich call the law, who be calling

To take it from the hood to the ghetto with bars

Now they ghetto superstars in the twisted system

So many lives victimized, we glorify the victims

And if I die with my eyes open up to it

Then I’mma be just as wrong as the ones who do it

So in my life I do my best to make it never happen

And revolutionize my people through rhymes and rappin'

Freedom got a shotgun, we ain’t even scrappin'

It’s new world order, and we are trapped in

It’s millenium armageddon just around the block

Who the hell is coming with me?

Let me throw the first rock

Call me David, young warrior, with trustee sling

When my stone sail, y’all can hear the angels sing

When Goliath fall, y’all can see the people bring

Aloe Blacc back on their shoulders crowned a new king

And things won’t be the same

As long as I know the game

We’re gonna make it

Whatever they serve, we can take it

Show our reserve, and don’t fake it

Strengthen your will, they can’t break it

Swallow your pride, they can’t shake it

If you living your dream, they can’t wake it

You’ll never be poor broke and naked

As long as we got each other

Look out for one another

We’re gonna make it over

In the dead of winter

Screaming at the world as I enter

Demons pulling me in to be a sinner

More than the angels fool me to saint

Blueprintin' life on white canvas with no brushes or paint

Just to let out my veins, fingers stroking the pain

Slave driven slowly insane, legs shackles and chains

Visualize the shit I’m saying, it’s vivid to some

Overexposed flows that I’ve delivered have come

Like my uncle pours a sip of the ale

Grey hair blendin' in with the smoke he inhale

Then he exhale

Blowing stress out from his mouth

I sit and listen to whatever he was talkin' about

A little change in his pocket, he would offer it out

Then go and take a piss at the side of the house

These days me up real quick though

Seeing shit that probably make you feel real sick though

I’m trying to let it go

But memories don’t go with ease

The future probably make it dissolve, slowly leave

And in the end, the demons still win over

Cuz I haven’t fully given up my heart to Jehovah

So many parts of me is part of this earth

So when I die, mix up my ashes with the dirt

Call my little sister, tell her I’m gone

Tell her that sometimes I was wrong

And that before I left, I wrote her a song

We’re gonna make it

Whatever they serve, we can take it

Show our reserve, and don’t fake it

Strengthen your will, they can’t break it

Swallow your pride, they can’t shake it

If you living your dream, they can’t wake it

Never be poor broke and naked

As long as we got each other

Look out for one another

We’re gonna make it over

As long as the sun come up

We keep rising

As long as the sun come up

We stand up

As long as the sun come up

We keep rising

As long as the sun come up

We get up

As long as the sun come up

We keep rising

As long as the sun come up

We stand up

As long as the sun come up

We keep rising

As long as the sun come up

We get up

Whatever they serve, we can take it

Show our reserve, and don’t fake it

Strengthen your will, they can’t break it

Swallow your pride, they can’t shake it

If you living your dream, they can’t wake it

You’ll never be poor broke and naked

As long as we got each other

Look out for one another

We’re gonna make it over

That’s who I am, who are you?

I’m the one you can’t break

I’m what you get afraid of all your life
