[Akir:]

Yeah, uh-huh, yours truly, we back in the house

Akir, uhh, new exclusive, we keep comin with these bangers son

Roll the windows down, c'mon nigga let's ride



Yo, yo, we made it this far, praise to Allah, God

Whoever you want, this for all y'all who work a day long

Only had a little bit to hold on to

I want you to know that they don't want you

to survive by simply means of a 9-to-5

That's why when we get live, they try to get a piece of the pie

They wanna give us 25-to-life

While we strive to fight, to provide what's right for our fam

At nighttime, the beasts come out

Waitin to see who gon' dumb out wild thirsty with the guns out

Bangin heads against the asphault sayin that he asked for it

Locked niggaz up, expect life to fast forward

That's torment, for his little man, fire enormous

Layin dormant 'til it explodes, they need a warrant

So I'ma keep 'em at the fortress, endured us for the cue

We direct what they teach in school



[Chorus: Akir]

Yeah, uhh, yeah, uhh

To all my niggaz that survive in these streets

That's tryna eat, steady dodgin the beast to get a piece, peep

I make this music just to grind through it

Vibe to it, get your mind movin, ride to it

To all my women tryna make it in life

Keep it tight with the world so trife, you gotta fight, yeah

I made this music just to grind through it

Vibe to it, get your mind movin, ride to it

Yeah... ride to it



[Akir:]

Maybe things all come back with no crazy shit like this

Know'msayin?  This to my hustlers out there y'all

Word up (ride to it) uh



Pastor's 25, glad we made it

I, remember when we couldn't wait to get emancipated violated

Alludin the basic fundamentals, that a family holds sacred

Just cause a nigga couldn't take it

Rebellious natured, in a nation, I'll ask patients and trainers

Now it's time for us to try to make it in this Matrix

Face it, blowin up is passin fake shit and fightin hatred

Wack niggaz that stand complacement stay in the basement

Drunk watchin "Tha Bassment," facin like, yo we ain't say shit

While your baby moms playin my hits

I'm makin somethin out of nothin, niggaz stay off my dick

Deli task, wearin a mask in order to fit

An attitude derived from this new ceilin we hit

Real as a gun spark with a bullet killin a kid

This is for my people strugglin, givin a shit

Cause if we never take control then who's freedom is this?



[Chorus]



[Akir:]

I know times been hard y'all, but uhh

This a little somethin to ride to, let's go



Yo, I think a paradigm diggin me writin rhymes is on the rhythm

The song hits and it's non-fiction, hearts visions

and lost children are star stricken, my false diction is all shiftin

Evolve different, we'll all shift then

I make the ignorant, clap when they feelin it

Illin when they realize it's revealin they brilliant

I know it, I'm on it, I want it, I own it, I free it, I wrote it

I made it, I sold it - I'm in it to win it

I dig it to get it, hot 'til it's molten then I mold it

Polish it until it's golden scripted to spit it gifted

I flip it drunk flicted, still rip it explicit 'til they get addicted

to the way I did it, scrolls is transcended

From prophets to descendents, I do this and remember to those that finish

doin a sentence, move through the defenses

with words that been offensive, preserve

Doin effective reserve, do a profession, ride to it (uhh)
