Til We Get It Right - K Rino

It took a long time to get this condition

We ain’t gon' flip it overnight

I guess the cops gon' keep bustin'

Wonder why we don’t trust ‘em

The savage law makers and wolves having discussions

A gun in our pocket, they lock us up once we shot it

Convicting us for dope but they’ll never say how we got it

My gangstas aggravated so bodies lay on the pavement

You hate it but you won’t admit this is what you created

And as long as we stay in the hood you ignore the damage

But soon as we come in the suburbs, it’s time to panic

My Gs out here starvin', they grind, push and they scuffle

If you can’t fix his problems, how can you tell him don’t hustle?

You say these thugs ain’t got no fathers if they don’t listen

That’s mostly ‘cause your system put many of ‘em in prison

You seen him and his children and wiped him out of the photo

And broke the family up so the mama raisin' him solo

And it’s crazy how the cycle continues for generations

What’s even worse it won’t ever change 'til we awakened, c’mon

But we gon' keep pushin' 'til we get it right

We gon' keep workin' 'til we get it right

We gon' keep tryin' 'til we get it right

We gon' keep teachin' 'til they see the light

In life you got to get your reps in until your weight shift

Yo Laura Ingraham, won’t you shut up and go get a facelift?

You talk about Durant and Lebron like you so good

But the question is how much money did you give to the hood

What’chu donate to inner city youth?

Where is your package?

I know the answer already, I’m just being sarcastic

I guess that you accomplished the mission with one mention

‘cause dissing someone greater than you gave you attention

I’m wishin' I could show all my homies out here survivin'

It ain’t about the shoes that you wearin' or what you’re drivin'

It ain’t about your Instagram followers and flashin'

It ain’t about the check, it’s what you do after you cash it

With what we ‘bout to be facin', it’s no time to be wastin'

It’s bad math if you spendin' more cash than you makin'

Trickin' off what you coulda been flippin’s a stupid look

Don’t be jealous when you see people eatin', learn how to cook

But we gon' keep pushin' 'til we get it right

We gon' keep workin' 'til we get it right

We gon' keep tryin' 'til we get it right

We gon' keep teachin' 'til they see the light

To my youngsters in the streets, y’all trippin' and actin' crazy

Y’all shootin' at each other, not carin' about these babies

Your gun gave you courage so now you around here flexin'

Innocent bystanders gettin' caught up in yo plexin'

Terrorizing your section with no sense of direction

You reckless, you supposed to provide the hood with protection

The need to have money is in you like an infection

So now you in prison learning a fifty year lesson and for what?

Got heated and ran straight to the trunk

All because you wanted to prove you wasn’t no punk

Took somebody’s child from the world, life gone quick

Nothing wrong with fighting but you fighting for the wrong sh*t

I hope one day you will realize

The stuff I see us doing brings tears to my eyes

Almost every night it’s some youngster they light up with the strap

They laid the plan out, you fallin' right up in the trap, now

But we gon' keep pushin' 'til we get it right

We gon' keep workin' 'til we get it right

We gon' keep tryin' 'til we get it right

We gon' keep teachin' 'til they see the light
