Go feat Talib Kweli and Ali

Life. What is it for real?
I don't know, yah.

It's like hate taking over, but hold up. What is it over?
Suicide, man that's the devil trynna control us.
They told us, but we don't notice the pain was sittin on their shoulders.
The world was just a polar, they'd rather live in the solar.
System got us hopeless, and focused on foreclosures.
Wake up and smell the folgers, Oboma bring home the soldiers.
Osoma, you owe us and 9/11 was bogus.
Now we right back at em, say the war is our motive. C'mon.

Wake up early in the streets of the block, streets of the block.
He posted up on the corner like a soldier in the drill but he wouldn't stop
Living life in the battlefield, battlefield. Eh.
Trying to survive every day and every night, it's the same deal.
Life's strange. Times change. But karma always finds a way.
Stay strong, hold on. And don't let all your dreams fade away.

Yeah, life can beat you down. What goes it comes around.
It's not how you hit the ground. It's about how fast you get back up and,
Go. Keep going. Feels like I'm giving my life away.
And it gets hard, and harder.
But happiness is worth the wait. Cause all I want is a better way.
Cause all I want is a better way.

A lot of mother's, they just don't understand. They think we hard on our sons.
But we gotta teach our boys how to be a man. They only know when they walk out the door.
See, we can teach them how to fire. But they gotta teach themselves how to reload.
Cause unemployment is harder than it's ever been. Sometimes it feels like i can't win.
And even though all the rules keep changing, I'm stronger now than I was when I came in.

Yeah, life can beat you down. What goes it comes around.
It's not how you hit the ground. It's about how fast you get back up and,
Go. Keep going. Feels like I'm giving my life away.
And it gets hard, and harder.
But happiness is worth the wait. Cause all I want is a better way.
Cause all I want is a better way.

Walk through the backstreets like I got beef. Carnival for the carnivores with the sharp teeth.
Animalistic it's why we call the cops beast. We're on the hunt.
Cause they're hungry for the dark meat.
I'm rapping till my heart beat. Brain is the bass. My heart is the drum.
Give the drum some, promise of a better life is all I got to give.
I ain't just trynna survive, I'm trynna live.

Cause all I want is a better way.
Hey, if your not prepared the world can be so cold.
All you can do is your best and just hope. In time the truth will show.
Just stick to what you know. Get a grip on something real.
And never let it go.

Go. Keep going. Feels like I'm giving my life away.
And it gets hard, and harder.
But happiness is worth the wait. Cause all I want is a better day.
Cause all I want is a better way.

Go. Keep going. Feels like I'm giving my life away.
And it gets hard, and harder.
But happiness is worth the wait. Cause all I want is a better day.
Cause all I want is a better way.
