Yeah
It's Awon
Doctor Flake
DJ low cut
It's great to see the people awake out there
It's great to see the people rising
The revolution is worldwide
Whether analog or digital
It started off with the yes yes yall
To the beat yall
A king born in the New York City streets yall
At least in my own mind
I saw that I shined
And when people couldn't see my light
I thought they were blind
Since I remember
I always loved to rhyme
Crack life had me living way before my time
prisoner to the projects
I could recollect
Hearing gunfire from the Uzis
Mac 10s and techs
It ain't where you from
It's where you at
My frame of mind stayed in heaven
Been to hell and back
It ain't where you from
It's where you go
Take a look inside
That's where you grow
Crack valves and syringes
On playgrounds the stench is dead bodies
They toast with the 40s on the benches
Snipers on the roofs
My hood was Beirut
And everybody was getting in on the loot
My people were forgotten
The apple to us was rotten
It was no different from being slaves
And picking cotton
When your options are starve, eat, die in the streets
Because the school system didn't give us a chance to compete
It ain't where you from
It's where you at
My frame of mind stayed in heaven
Been to hell and back
It ain't where you from
It's where you go
Take a look inside
That's where you grow
We Ready
We Ready
We Ready
For all my people at the bottom
We Ready
We Ready
We Ready
For all my people at the bottom
We Ready
We Ready
We Ready
We Ready for yall
We Ready
I only deal with equations in life
I been brazen with Mics
The nephew of the post civil rights
Drug lords and addicts
Forced me to wave automatics
If it's ever static
Cause I ain't going out tragic
This is for my people who never had it
Who suffered in crazy conditions
Life below average
For the sisters
Who Never seen marriage
One on the way
Two in the carriage
But they still manage
It ain't where you from
It's where you at
My frame of mind stayed in heaven
Been to hell and back
It ain't where you from
It's where you go
Take a look inside
That's where you grow
Not only did they incarcerate brothers
They fucked up the lives
Of kids and baby mothers
Some people can't understand
What's on my dome
I got homies who
Only dealt with they pops through a phone
And it's still turmoil
When some make it home
My brother Rome touched down
And got rocked with the chrome
Rest in peace
My people survived in the belly of the beast
Now they want to come and gentrify
Every single street
It ain't where you from
It's where you at
My frame of mind stayed in heaven
Been to hell and back
It ain't where you from
It's where you go
Take a look inside
That's where you grow
We Ready
We Ready
We Ready
For all my people at the bottom
We Ready
We Ready
We Ready
For all my people at the bottom
We Ready
We Ready
We Ready
For all my people at the bottom
We Ready
We Ready
We Ready
We Ready!
You don't need words to speak to me
If you really on my frequency
Life is getting deep to me
You gotta to have the light
To see the soul purpose
The indigo aura
around the souls surface
Radio waves carry the consciousness
In currents
New government giving the people concurrent
sentences to mental slavery
We wasn't made to be
Stagnant attached to material
Or made to sleep
