The Elephant’s in the room, move motherfucker make room, make room (huh) Boom! The Elephant’s in the room, motherfucker make room (Verse 1) Think of me as a heavy political topic None of the big wigs can deal with or want to acknowledge (Yea) They rather try to ignore the undeniable Truth I’m a force; my voice is like a spore Infects the mind inside plenty Creating an army of people who are the Unsettled, underpaid minimum wage, job delayed Can’t afford to educate the Majority far from priority citizens Rebels in this hell we living in But fuck giving in We aint stir up the movement to lose so ya better make room (Chorus) Boom! The Elephant’s in the room, move motherfucker make room make room Boom! The Elephant’s in the room, move motherfucker make room, huh (scratch noise) Boom!

But thank GOD for the bill, that took away my power to kill But enabling my lyrical skills To kick blasphemous, disastrous, catastrophic hits Over these rock drums and kicks Since the tongue holds mightier than the sword I wave my one-ton uzi over metaphors Words I let em pour like bullets World War III coming soon Stay tuned I’m inviting your doom as it looms So fuck giving in We aint stir up the movement to lose so you better make room (Chorus) Boom! The Elephant’s in the room, move motherfucker make room make room Boom! The Elephant’s in the room, move motherfucker make room, huh (scratch noise) Boom! The Elephant’s in the room, move motherfucker make room make room Boom! The Elephant’s in the room, motherfucker make room Now rock with it! (Verse 3) They try to play like I’m invisible But my words move like spiritual Revelations, give em the motivation they need To fight greed and thieves disguised under the creed Made to believe that they give a fuck about people but It’s clear to me, it’s all polygyny Everybody getting fucked by the G.O.P. But thank GOD for the bill, that took away my power to kill But enabling my lyrical skills To kick blasphemous, disastrous, catastrophic hits (I said we kick) blasphemous, disastrous, catastrophic hits! (I said we kick) blasphemous disastrous, catastrophic hits! (I said we kick) blasphemous, disastrous, catastrophic hits! (I said we kick) blasphemous disastrous, catastrophic hits! So ya better make room! (Chorus) Boom! The Elephant’s in the room, move motherfucker make room make room Boom! The Elephant’s in the room, move motherfucker make room, huh (scratch noise) Boom! The Elephant’s in the room, move motherfucker make room make room Boom! The Elephant’s in the room, motherfucker make room Yea (Outro) The elephant’s in the room, in the room The elephant’s in the room

Get Up! 05:06
(Verse 1) Trouble be coming in so many ways Women, drugs, money, power, greed, and jealousy Even complacency be knocking at the door for all of us I done been on every train but be damned not to get me again Taking strides to be better than what I seen Inner city blues painted pictures of murder scenes Fiends and pre teens who believe Money more than an edu-ma-cation And “gangsta” the highest accolades to be graced with At least I know I’m not to smoke a sweet if you laced it Look at what I came from, but never estranged from The things I was made from Prepared for the obstacles whenever I faced them But now I embrace them, waiting on a chance to show the growth Toast to everybody who be doing the most When they was giving the least to start the race If life was a card game they gave us a short hand Made us a marked man for hardships But it also conditioned me to survive when the weather the harshest World cold, hope you got ya sweater for it Shit I been dealing so I’m ready for it That’s why you gotta get up now Everybody get up now Get up now, get up now (Chrous) Ya gotta get up don’t waste one moment Ya gotta get up don’t waste no time Get up if you want to enjoy Everything that the world provides Everybody get up don’t waste one moment Ya gotta get up don’t waste no time Get up if you want to enjoy Everything that the world provides Everybody get up now Everybody get up now Ya gotta get up don’t waste one moment Ya gotta get up don’t waste no time Get up if you want to enjoy Everything that the world provides (Verse 2) Now many people holla “Rise and Grind” Now you know they lying but shit I make it in a matter time Just a matter of mind over chatter Mouths running like baby bladders So many say they want to be, don’t wanna become And they wonder why the money run from But never running into I used to wonder it too, now I do what I do And let it happen as it’ll happen A destiny manifested is partly divine blessing Mostly the time spent in believing you was bound to receive it And when it come to fruition they wondering how you did it Doubting but I’ll make em a witness Doubting a GOD’s son I pray they forgiveness Show you the image of doing ya own thing Living in pop culture playing ya own lane Making ya own name, changing the whole game Never afraid to go against the grain Aye I’ll show you the image of doing ya own thing Living in pop culture playing ya own lane Making ya own name, changing the whole game Never afraid to go against the grain Aye! (Chorus) Ya gotta get up don’t waste one moment Ya gotta get up don’t waste no time Get up if you want to enjoy Everything that the world provides Everybody get up don’t waste one moment Ya gotta get up don’t waste no time Get up if you want to enjoy Everything that the world provides Everybody get up now Get up now, eh Gotta get on up now, eh Get up (Verse 3) Whoever knew one day that they would be that bum on the corner holding the sign that reads We appreciate whoever can find a lil love in they heart to help us out Seem like life made plans and left us out Damn what’s that about? Hard to think about Knowing that a kid somewhere will grow up and end up right there How does that happen to people is it the world is too challenging Just couldn’t handle it, just couldn’t balance it? The good, the bad, the wrongs, the rights, the up and downs Smiles and frowns, pound for pound, everything was too much for em? Did they not answer when opportunity looked for em? Food wasn’t cooked for em so they didn’t eat Is it a consequence of them deciding to sleep instead of up on they feet? Go and get it know it aint gone be given Don’t know how many times I can say it Gotta replay it and pray it be deep embedded in thought Never forget your pride hold on to everything you was taught Regarding life cuz its lessons that be hard to learn Many niggas never listen till it start to burn and then they Say they comprende when it’s too late to change Damn, you fucked up a good thing that could’ve been I wish you would’ve been up on yo shit Damn my nigga don’t become a statistic, you gotta get up! (Outro) I show you the image of doing ya own thing Living in pop culture playing ya own lane Making ya own name, changing the whole game Never afraid to go against the grain Aye I’ll show you the image of doing ya own thing Living in pop culture playing ya own lane Making ya own name, changing the whole game Never afraid to go against the grain

Explain to me, Explain to me… (Verse 1) The definition of Free, when we a slave to this currency The definition of Love, when they ain’t giving us none The definition of Truth, when they keep feeding us Lies Like what’s the reason for War?

(We need some fucking answers!) I said can you explain to me!? I said can you explain to me!? Explain to me, Explain to me!

(Hook) I said can you explain to me? I said can you explain to me? Can somebody explain to me! (Verse 3) How do you explain what seems imagination Or dream of reality from broken philosophies? Or sow do you explain this system’s self-evasion? Or democratic hypocrisy, save your apologies There’s no way to explain, no way to explain No way to explain, no way to explain (Chorus) Broadcast what they want us to hear And they televise what they want us to Fear And they Campaign what they want us to hate Talk Truth they got nothing to say They broadcast what they want us to hear And they televise what they want us to Fear And they Campaign what they want us to hate Talk Truth they got nothing to say (Outro) Explain to me Explain to me Explain to me What the fuck is going on!?

Aint for the the billboards this one was made for the people (How can you take what belongs to me?) This aint for the pop charts bang this in the basement (How can you take my thoughts from me?) Put ya fist up if you give a fuck (How can you take what belongs to me?)

Give My Life 04:28
You’ve given me chances that I know I don’t deserve Through your actions you saved a world that wasn’t worth A single blessing from you who were blameless from your birth Cleansed by your blood Because of the day you said I’d give my life for you Because of the day you said I’d give my life for you… It makes me wonder how we could deny what feels so real It takes me over and lifts me up outta my despair When I feel encumbered you make all my worries disappear Rest me over your shoulders, and that was the day I said I’d give my life for you And that was the day I said I’d give my life for you… Sacrifice so I could live, life is such a precious gift Humbled by your graciousness so I wanna thank you Sacrifice so I could live, life is such a precious gift Humbled by your graciousness so I wanna thank you So hard yea it be so hard Type of shit when if a nigga aint know God I’d be So scarred and I’d show no heart cuz people out here make you wanna break they jaw they be So fraud when the world got to em Money and the fame and the drugs got to em Jealousy and envy and the lust got to to em before the faith in the Lord or the trust got to em Try to reach out to em, but they never listen when you speak out to em Pressure or the prison or the street got to em Hope they said a prayer before the heat got to em and they off in a hearse Even all through the worse moments of my life With me all through the hurt never lost or desert me Knowing that I aint right, you still give me the daylight That’s why I gotta thank you for giving me life
