Keep Rising Lyrics - Singles - The Group Home

Intro: 

Let's work for the family 

Let's keep the family strong 

By keepin the tie of love strong in the family 

All those of you who are rich, use your riches to elevate the poor 

All those who think you are wise, use your wisdom 

and teach the unlearned 

So all of us walk together like brothers 

And I say this, there is no family without a hair in their family 

{Lil Dap} 

Yo it took 41 shots, to take one man down 

I'm black and I'm proud, fighting for this struggle right now 

27 years I didn't think I'd walk this Earth 

My grandmother sat and told me how she hustled for life 

Pop dukes had to leave, to fight the feedin me 

Mom dukes took her early leave, to explore her life 

Now we eat dogs, runnin through these streets all night 

Something ain't right, now what part of the game is this? 

If it took killas and niggas stronger to make an end 

Searchin for bread, my whole situation has changed 

Rollin at a young age, But I got to focus my brain 

Straight like that, the codes are on the streets to come back 

Come burnin my mack, it's time to kill them softly black 

'cause we real Brooklyn niggas comin through these streets 

Connect it with 5 boroughs and the shit gets deep 

Open your eyes, hoping that these people get by 

Real recognize real, now you got to pack steele 

I got my deal, 0 for 1 record deal 

And these stupid ass niggas said we couldn't come back 

Hears to your facts, I hate set it on you you black 

We hate to set it on your black 

"So let's get the family together" 

{Lil Dap} 

First to first, niggas don't want me to disperse 

Why young minorities they have to ride in a herse 

Undertane to 5 vehicle, or up in the lobby 

Little kids got shot, cops can't even show their own glocks 

I've performed in many countries, with people going to war 

Settling the score, representing Brooklyn once more 

I write rhymes to design or a new frame of mind 

They got us locked us in situations, we might have to kill 

I'm trying to bill, niggas keep on fronting still 

"All those of you who are rich, use your riches to elevate the poor" 

"All those who think you are wise" 

Chorus: Lil Dap 

'cause we real Brooklyn niggas coming from these streets 

Connected with 5 boroughs and this shit gets deep 

We real Queens niggas coming from these streets 

Connected with 5 boroughs and this shit gets deep 

We real Bronx niggas coming from these streets 

Connected with 5 boroughs and this shit gets deep 

We real Shaolin niggas coming from these streets 

Connected with 5 boroughs and this shit gets deep 

We real Harlem niggas coming from these streets 

Connected with 5 boroughs and this shit gets deep 

{Lil Dap} 

BK, Harlem niggas 

Footprints, walkin the streets, I hope it is a good path 

Lookin for my dad, tell him how we survived in the hood 

It was all good, 'cause 99 percent of your life, 

Positioning things are right, niggas they start to act trife 

See I set my family and even kept my things real 

Had my own dough, even pushed the forward deal 

'cause writing rhymes is much better then sittin and 

writing jail letters 

That sings all those ones certain locked behind the walls 

Brooklyn's my print, a black baby mistoken from birth 

Where's your old Earth? Black cause burn on the dirt 

'cause this industry makes billions of dollars every year 

Blood, sweat & tears, while my people sittin in the cut 

Hungry as fuck, I'm sitting back drinkin on my tea 

They can't stop me, ghetto connect the soldier you see 

Chorus 

That's right, this goes out to all of Chicago 

L.A., New York, livin the hard life 

Streets of Indianoplis 

Brooklyn
