What About Us Lyrics - Trae Tha Truth

[Intro] 

There is a Houston rapper who is taking um, a more hands on approach to his fellow Harvey victims, Trae tha Truth 

Joined the growing list of volunteer rescuers after he was uh, rescued from his own home 

One of the many reasons he has been honored, uh, by his home town for a decade now 

There's actually a Trae day in Houston on July 22nd for his humanitarian work for this great Texas city 

So Trae tha Truth is with me now, from the Convention Centre, and, and Trae... 

[Verse 1] 

So went down on my knees, I make a call to God like he the last one left 

It's kinda hard to get through it, I'm still yellin' for help, it's like the whole world deaf 

And though I'm tryna see through it, I'm feelin' life is miserable, ain't no point in even tryin' 

They say it could have been worse and it'll prolly never get better watchin' the blind lead blind 

You never know your position until it got use 

Yeah, I know it ain't nothin' perfect about truth 

I had this pain on lock, somehow it got loose 

It's like we been through hell, somehow we got through 

Watchin' the rain so hard, like, "What we gon' do?" 

The sky was black, the rain was pourin' 

Devastation, wind was blowin' 

Water risin', overflowin' 

The cried for help, and Lord, I'm goin' 

I gotta do my best 

Both feet in, water to my chest 

Whole neighborhood's gone 

Bein' able to do but wanna tell 'em it's okay 

But I know it's amiss, I can't lie to 'em 

I'm holdin' only, in a way, I was sayin' goodbye to 'em 

A rescuse team in the sky, hopin' to fly to 'em 

Yeah, they gon' get saved but don't apply to 'em 

They really hurt 'cause all they can do is cry to 'em

[Verse 2] 

The body count was risin', family members missin', others tryna survive 

They all know the condition but yet, they help the alive 

They need help 'cause they feel like they ain't gon' make it inside 

Feelin' everythin' go, some was battlin' pride 

They on they last leg 

Everything was lost, help denied 

Shelters closin', now they back outside 

Home is gone, there ain't nowhere to go 

Survival mode, it's go for what you know 

Life is real, so now we on our own 

Government was thrown and they was wrong 

These circumstances, they really don't belong 

Few denied, I told 'em I'd get 'em a loan 

Bunch of people take advantage of the situation 

Got the money and collect it with no hesitation 

Put they face up in the camera like they here to help 

Nod to the people, then they loosen with the frustration 

What about the ones that hit rock bottom? 

And the kids who traumatized by poverty? 

It ain't the truth if I tell you they ain't a part of me 

Ain't nothin' close when you feel like when you got so far to be 

One thing for sure, I'm here to fight for 'em 

Do right for 'em, tryna save life for 'em 

Everybody need help but they need hope 

Hopin' one day God'll end up bein' a light for 'em

[Verse 3] 

Think of the survivors dedicated to front lines 

Times they came and times they went 

We sacrifice our life, countless how we spent 

Children sleepin' on floors, some sleepin' in tents 

Our faces covered in tasks, can't take the scent 

Movin' on imposed days, only get worse 

So many cries, swear to God you wanna get a nurse 

We only wanna see us make it to a better day 

Told 'em the love unconditional for what it's worth 

Over 500 mill', why the city hurtin'? 

Trae tha Truth, or Mr. Rogers, only people workin' 

Our boots to the ground, gettin' holes in 'em 

Heard people talkin' but their answers said they weren't certain 

I gotta fight, I don't agree with how they doin' us 

They say the city back to normal, that was new to us 

I told a bunch of kids I got 'em for the holiday 

A mansion, witnessin' less than a toothbrush 

I feel like I wanna punch through a wall 

I know a lot of people need this so I'm standin' up tall 

Before they can fall 

Relief ain't gon' last so they call 

They helpin' the system, no matter if we riskin' or not 

Although it's dark, tell 'em, "We are one" 

It ain't never gon' be over until we are done 

I know that one day we gon' see our sun 

If there's any type of pressure, tell 'em, "We don't run"
