DAY - You Can Win lyrics

Intro: [F The Elemental] Yeah- I like to acknowledge the corporate forces who corrupted hip-hop And made a whole generation of young listeners into alcoholics and addicts Let's not forget the coons who helped them out Verse 1: [F The Elemental] From the first ring of the bell prepare yourself Keep focused on heaven while living in hell Morality's taken a back seat to sales Justice doesn't exist they control the scales And bring swift d**h to all those who challenge The authority of the beast is unbalanced Remove the charge from the shell of the valance When gunshots ring out the people go silent They'll be no acts of bravery. This is the goal of new world slavery Try to rise up and it all ends fatally. In the same boat together, why you hating me? See reporters in the news lie blatantly and turn the victim into the criminal through devilry As long as they're in control freedom will never be there for you and me There for you and me Chorus: [F The Elemental & Day] When they knock you down You gotta get up it ain't too hard, it ain't too rough You can win I know you can You gotta believe you can win I know you can Verse 2: [F The Elemental] Them ba*tards. Now I got a drive to smash this We fight for freedom. They divide us in cla**es One of the things they be doing to hara** us Stressed to d**h till we become ashes My vision is blurred even with the gla**es Cause I don't know what i'm looking at these actors Act in concert to k** the mind's work and close the door to force us to convert To the dark side just to make a living Till we accept all the poison that we were given Then we turn around and give the poison to the children And act confused when what we be giving them k**s them I don't know about you but this is real son Go trade your dead mind for a real one Instead of bragging about sk**s go build some So we can breathe good life into the children Chorus: [F The Elemental & Day] When they knock you down You gotta get up it ain't too hard, it ain't too rough You can win I know you can You gotta believe you can win I know you can Verse 3: [F The Elemental] Bobbing and weaving dodging the heathen We know he's lying when he's speaking Deceiving the people through his teachings Saying he's forgiven for his sins- don't believe him Cause all that he can really present is a weak thesis Inspire the leaders to give us fire-y speeches Insightful preachers elevation to teach us How to act like men not like leeches Live for ourselves not his allegiance Tighten the gut to absorb the uppercut Trained for this your whole life, better s** it up Move jab stick jab move get your self respect what else can you prove? Nobody really wanna be in our shoes when we do for self this is the path we choose For over 400 years we paid dues. This world is ours. We not gonna loose! Chorus: [F The Elemental & Day] When they knock you down You gotta get up it ain't too hard, it ain't too rough You can win I know you can You gotta believe you can win I know you can End: [F The Elemental] So whenever they knock you down in battle Just get back up, dust yourself off and get back to work Never let anybody hold you down Whether it be by words or actions Cause you can win We never give up
