Our National Anthem

from Never Say Die by Creature

/

lyrics

Hydro make you walk on water
cigarettes make your breath turn shorter
some of us never make it off the corner
you don't know whats up i think you ought ta
don't bring that bullshit my way
or we going to handle shit the hard way
praise the lord i made another day
survival what can we say
days are darker nights are shorter
keep and eye on your sons and daughter
they show love they really don't want ta
baptized in trouble water
people quick to say we acting crazy
i don't know cant call it maybe
some of us are alcoholics baby
trying to live can you blame me

you want to kill us but only made us stronger
we still here
with our backs against the wall we going to rise before we fall
we still here
so don't be surprise that were still alive
we still here
our attitude is and always will be Never say Die

cant look a man in the eye talk out the side of your
neck
to you get stabbed in now you showing respect
i know that boy aint over there ad libing some threats
its like a sheep selling wolf tickets pussy making ass bets
playing with a full clip Russian roulette
didn't see you in a line up but i know you suspect
a shame hip feds to names to obtain success
aint a damn thing change still curse to the flesh
Novocaine the pain to the day that we rest
man i cant explain in life we wanted the best
dead beat dads get left dead in the streets
you can hate the baby momma but the kids got to eat
you aint water proof get wet up for dry snitching
true fucking soldier die for his convictions
no body fucking sober mama high sniffing
hood rat in electric chairy call it fried chicken

down but not out we are not hopeless
we still here
the pain and suffering has made us focus
we still here
we shall inherit what is ours the limit is the sky
we still here
all my people come together and rise
