lyrics

If expectation
leads to disappointment
Then how can one rely
on the government?
In this battle to exist,
We all Come from women
Still we can’t expose the truth without a consequence

No one owns nobody, so how somebody gonna abuse our right to choose
No one is perfection and all life’s connect so just love the life you live

__EveryDay is a blessing when we’re rising
But it’s Hard to make the bed when someone lies in it
the truth is the truth ain’t no Disguising, no no
If he with out sin shall cast the stone
Then she will be the one to tell him leave it alone__

what your purpose on the mission in this balance to existing
Yet we think we suppose to rule
Lets save our youth before the gun
We all know how the west was won
Yet some only just begun to recognize the truth

Our frustration stems from what we can’t control
Just be patient, not complacent,
Listen for the truth
Be mindful of your soul
And always question what you’ve been told

Stay present in your moves
Think how what we do, can affect all humanity
Cause no matter what you show
there is always life to grow
Just like the fruit from the wisdom Tree

__EveryDay is a blessing when we’re rising
We Rise, We Rise, We Rise
But it’s Hard to make the bed when someone lies in it
They Lie, They Lie, They Lie
the truth is the truth ain’t no Disguising, no no
If he with out sin shall cast the stone
Then she will be the one to tell him leave it alone__

Find your purpose and your mission
living not just existing
Teach the youth, put down dem guns
We all know how the west was won
In the search for truth some have only just begun

__EveryDay is a blessing when we’re rising
We Rise, We Rise, We Rise
But it’s Hard to make the bed when someone lies in it
They Lie, They Lie, They Lie
the truth is the truth ain’t no Disguising, no no
If he with out sin shall cast the stone
Then she will be the one to tell him leave it alone__

We’ve got to do better
Creations bound to win
No one is perfection and we all the deserve the blessing of a life we want to live.
