Diract Beats - Coexist lyrics

[Verse 1: Enoch] They asking why my music always got to be so negative They say that with a club banger I can be competitive I tell them that this knowledge that I'm kicking in preventative To wake the people up from living like they on a sedative And see them take a stand for the rights these leaders took Making sure that these kids know it's alright to read a book And understand that your worth can't depend on how you look And not to ever trust a cop even if you ain't a crook And don't you ever overlook what your seeing as a threat And you need to understand that having freedom isn't debt But the people that's in charge have got us tangled in a net And they make you think it's worth it just by dangling a check We gon' see that they regret everything they ever did Instead of treating us like men they only seen us as a kid Every rhyme that you see it spreads the need for getting rid Of the people that's responsible for causing us to skid So I kick [Hook: Enoch] x2 Raw knowledge but it's meant to uplift Cause a shift in the consciousness just count it as a gift Writing rhymes until I'm blowing out my wrist With the hope that minds grow while showing how to coexist [Bridge] [Verse 2: Enoch] Every single lyric that I ever wrote and recited Was done with love for the people that the system divided Who fight among themselves because of these conditions provided And turn to d** that only get them locked up or indicted And mandatory minimums keep slavery a reality Two and a quarter million people kept away from their family It all falls in line with the corporate mentality That their profit margins outweigh the health of humanity Your nationality alone shouldn't fill you with pride Growing up to find out history teachers had lied And your tax dollars are the reason many people have died And the way they keep control is keeping you terrified And that's the reason that we ride ready for a revolution The media that they provide is only serving as pollution And they way they got you thinking is like self persecution Dog I'm tired of all the faking now I'm making a contribution [Hook: Enoch] x2 Raw knowledge but it's meant to uplift Cause a shift in the consciousness just count it as a gift Writing rhymes until I'm blowing out my wrist With the hope that minds grow while showing how to coexist
