Keep on usin' so try Keep on singin' this try Keep on movin' try Chorus: Keep your head to the sky Live your life and reach high Wipe your tears and don't cry You will make it if you try Keep your head to the sky Live your life and reach high Wipe your tears and don't cry You will make it if you try To all my little shorties comin' up in school Don't forget what they said about the golden rule (uh uh) Do unto others as you would have them do unto you Use life is what you make it and that's true And if you don't know what I'm talkin' about Now lesson number one thee You better watch what's comin' out your mouth Cuz while you're talkin' about your friends Know the messages you send Got a real funny way of comin' back again I know that life can be a struggle (struggle, struggle) You're stayin' in and out of trouble (trouble, trouble) But the youths killin' our youths What's up with that? You're feelin' used and abused Wanna strike back Then do yourself a favor Take the anger Flip it around I'm telling you that it'll save ya There's more to life Than you may ever know But you must recognize What it means to grow Chorus Yeah uh huh Come on In the midst of all the confusion Burned bridges turn into bruises I conjure flames out in fusion Mental combustion to music Compels the demons to shatter Misconstrued the fantastic Imagine how clear is to plastics Time to fault the unnatural Copin' and dealin' makin' me feel like I'm about to burn anysecond Losin' the feelin' like life's depressin' Generations are burnin' and people ain't the same no more For real cuz he drops she drop What happened to the fall we rise Instead of encouragement we encourage pride If you instill the blessings and return to now for no lie Unfold your eyes Don't be blinded by the pain and the tears you never dried Realize peer pressures of our young adolescents Bulletproof vestin' And searchin' for questions We tell 'em everything but the truth For instance there's pride inside Squash the bullshit and you'll be all right And we'll make it to that other side Chorus Now as we step into the light And grab the mic Let's try to know the difference Between wrong and right You know they listenin' to everything that we recite But if it's glistenin' that makes it alright We got shorties on the blocks Who know they glocks Believe it or not We raised the last generation through hip hop Can't forget about Playstation It don't stop What's wrong with the nation It's flip-flop But we can turn it all around startin' with the sound Spread love from Rock 'N Roll to the underground We gotta take control of our minds body and soul Never fall never fault never fold Then let the truth be told Let it go Let it show Open your mouth And let it flow Into the depths of the blackest hole Where you'll find rainbows and a pot of gold Chorus Chorus Chorus
