Young Wiz - We Here Now
(from the album When Thugs Cry)

Verse 1
Determined to rise above like an eagle
On da cube they paint illegal pictures, causin' you to carry lethal weapons
I got angels for my protection, do what I do is a blessing, though I'm human I'm stressin'
Common sense stay out of danger, forget a vest, go to sleep to rest
Principles dont work, traumatized by these crooked lies
That's why they love to twirk, on the inside feelin' blue like da sky
Time is short like a mini skirt, something holdin' you down
You cant rise, shorties trippin' off the fantasy, dyin' in prison, didn't plan to be
They don't care and it's plain to see, rap industry bringin' jeapordy to the young souls
Wrong spirit, so they out of control, can't escape the truth
Watch it fold, and these thugs on the streets want it bold, the half ain't told

Chorus

Verse 2
We here now I'm tellin' you son no fear now
It was cloudy for a miniute but its all clear now
How you do, No how you do
I keep it real, yeah me too
Comin' up from the slums, with these snakes, ya feel me Dunn
Yeah, last night them homies had them suckas on the run
Poppin' them thangs, the same old thang, they wanna hang
Like I told you before, to stay away from the gang
'Cuz in the streets they like 50 and they killen' 'em man
For centuries this world's been in a curse, from politics to churches everything is preverse
Like you see your homeboy layin' up in a hurse, so much stress up on your mind, you just ready to burst
I've been saved by the blood, and things seem to get worse, this is what I got to say, my life is first
Ain't no time for desperse, every time I keep it real, man I always stay nursed, and thats for real, y'all
I used to smoke weed just to kill the pain, not realizin' just deterioratin' the brain
I robbed anybody son, just to maintain, the Lord spoke to my heart and made it simple and plain
He said turn from your ways boy, you can refrain from this world, they lost out there,
So much people livin' in poverty, livin' in fear, but I knew you before you was born, thats why I brought you out here

Chorus

Verse 3
Young thugs on da come up, now a days talk about throw yo guns up
Switch up, that's why they get done up, blaze up, check it out when they run up
On somebody never met before got the heat in your waste pull it out shout hit the floor
Doin' 25 to life in da cell, no bail,check it out homeboy, and dats fo sho
Got da nines on da street, bustin' on yo peeps, rollin' thru da 'hood so you gotta creep
Life ain't sweet, know you incomplete, but you swift on yo feet, to get da cream,
Y'all know what I mean, bust up on the scene, got a block full of fiends
Everyday livin' so you ready for the T.V. screen, y'all, that's how we do it

Chorus
