[Hook] [Toki Wright]:

We keep building, they keep building

They start fallin', we are gonna rise

We keep building, just keep building

They start fallin', we are gonna rise

[Verse One] [Toki Wright]:

As the world falls victim to the hands of man

Could it be we're damned or is it all part of a plan to make us withstand?

Underneath the heavens we use weapons and aggression

I got caught up in the lessons to the point it's - wait what was the question?

They televise lies organize crime

Til we are all blind slowly dying just wanna get high

So how you get ahead when you're behind? Hopin' that weather shine

We're in a rat race tryna better your time

I pace, stop tie my lace, dropped out of place

When I saw all the bars on the open gate

When I looked at all the stars and I don't relate

Then I find it really hard runnin' through the tape

Been confused by the rules try to prove payin dues

Gonna win in the end now and then we lose

What's to prove if ya bruised black and blue?

It's ya move do whatcha have to do

[Hook] [Toki Wright]:

We keep building, they keep building

They start fallin', we are gonna rise

We keep building, just keep building

They start fallin', we are gonna rise

[Scarub]:

Yo what's A Raisin In The Sun when there's wine in the shade?

A common concept we've accepted over the previous decades

Paradise Lost in exchange for time saved

Time is money yeah they cause the cost of livin escalates

They got us guessin' after every discretion it's a game of charades

From the womb to the tomb they still got us enslaved

Workin' to beat the hand of time but the clock is man made

Labor hard make a living still getting underpaid

And they spy on us through our clothes gates blinds and shades

Tapped phones laptops our privacy they invade

Pumpin propaganda the government wants you afraid

So they can control you through fear, that's how they make you behave

From the freezer out the box and to the microwave

TV dinner food for thought that slop will rot your brain

Get ya hooked they overdose ya till ya crave the craze

Yeah it's deep but it all leads to a shallow grave

[Hook] [Toki Wright]:

We keep building, they keep building

They start fallin', we are gonna rise

We keep building, just keep building

They start fallin', we are gonna rise

[Verse Three] [Toki Wright]:

Huh... as the bricks and cement try to close us in

Put us in the pen where the pen is our only friend

Spent every cent on the rent pullin lint

Out the inseams dreams are the things that we need

I believe if we bury greed when my daughter bury me

Finally we could be free self therapy

But we gotta strategize think carefully

And if I gotta bleed then you gotta bleed

[Hook] [Toki Wright]:

We keep building, they keep building

They start fallin', we are gonna rise

We keep building, just keep building

They start fallin', we are gonna rise
