Intro:
 Yeah
 Close your eyes, fly with me
 Spark your lye, get high with me
 Raise your glass with me
 Come inside see
 Come on, come on
 Close your eyes, let fly with me
 Light your lye, get high with me
 Raise your glasses
 Verse 1: AZ
 Yo, blesses to the young ones trapped in the world
 Never hate the next man that be tappin your girl
 It's just a hype, shoot anythings a man vision thru life
 Help me to understand the chosen ones livin thru Christ
 Blinded time from so many signs shown from greed
 Tryin to calculate all the funds I blown from weed
 Started out just a young shorty, wakin the rules
 Turnin out to be the wise, educatin the fools
 So many lost in these last days, closed curtains
 Tryin to change from my past ways, I'm soul searchin
 Diggin deep, tryin to feel within, it's real ill
 Takin time just to chill with friends we still bill
 Always told when I kick it with moms, to stay strong
 Watch out for them bitches that's wicked, they play wrong
 Keep your game strong, maintain yourself and live
 Star bless the kids, soon sometin gotta give
 Chorus: Monifa
 The last days, are comin
 Towards you, it's time to build
 I need a time that's real
 The last days, are comin
 Towards you, it's time to build
 AZ turnin the deal
 Verse 2: AZ
 You got to know when your end is near, I been there
 Seen years disappear in thin air, nobody wins here
 Swore on the population, we fightin blind
 For sure, we need to stop the hatin, enlightin minds
 Many die from a tragic death, in cold blood
 Behoggin niggas lost or lack respect, show love
 Sometime I wonder, was we ever free? High officials
 they move so cleverly, don't ever sleep
 Got my mind on the proverbs, ecclesiastics
 These Bible words, so absurb, I read em backwards
 They open doors, gave me a cause to stay swift
 And reward, it gave me the sword to stay rich
 Understandin is the best part, besides that
 I fell-a off to a fresh start, no time to sidetrack
 So much more still to come, it seems strange
 I was much more iller young, but things change
 Tryin to grow old, so many sights to see
 Told it never fold, just more righteously, you know?
 Chorus
 Verse 3: AZ
 I never knew any Bloods and Crips, but they exist
 In New York, it's just thugs and clicks, we offer tips
 Makin moves, tryin to stay afloat, it get deep
 In these streets, you either stay or walk, or get beat
 So strategise like the wise king, respect due
 Brothers get high and let they mind scheme, I got Tek cool
 In this world where so many stress, understand
 ain't nuttin left but the thoughts of death, we're sons of man
 So off track it's a shame to see, it's open season
 Got police movin dangerously, for no reason
 Hopin soon we can all adapt, get wise
 It build lies, it was all a trap, in disguise
 Assassinated by my own kind, so why ask
 Because blacks to have a closed mind, deal with facts
 Keep your eyes open, never rock yourself to sleep
 Love to the East, let the dead rest in peace
 Chorus (x2)
 Outro: Monifa
 We gotta do, what we gotta do
 Brothers, sisters, you gotta wake up, you gotta wake up
 Ain't nothin gonna come from this
 We gotta make it right now, we gotta make it right now, now
 Oooohoho, think about them babies
 Yeah, think about the babies
 Ooooohh, what kind of..
