lyrics

Yes Always

Can we do it?
We shalll Do it!


Uh uh uh Yeah
Ohhhh yeah
Uh uh uh uh uh uh Yeah
Ohhhh

Chorus
When the hard stuff comes
will I rise up
can I handle it?
Yes is always my answer
When the hard stuff comes
will I rise up
can I handle it?
Yes is always my answer

I am prepared I am ready
all my work has been for the day now
Whatever before me, it don’t scare me
all my work has been for this day now
I am prepared I am ready
all my work has been for the day now
Whatever before me, it don’t scare me
all my work has been for this day now

Speech
Welcome back new track
Sweat hogs horhsack
Black Rob bringing it back woah
Too late to be a new cat
Not a runner up that’s up to bat
The fun is whatever we be at so Whoa

And whenever they try and write you off
Show you gates Microsoft
Scoff it off no type of loss
They don’t know the concrete that you’ve risen from
A Shawshank type prison run
Ahnk praise and pyramid Sun woah

Shadrach, Meshack, Abendego and Daniel
Throw me in a fiery furnace - still I can handle
Chain gang swing low Sam Cooke not Sambo
Cuz I roll with soldiers

Pick up the steel put the serpent under my heel
not mattering how I feel
Mind over matter and sheer will
‘Take up my cross daily
Who can hang with my skills?
Ready for the reign (rain) like Noah


When the hard stuff comes
will I rise up
can I handle it?
Yes is always my answer
When the hard stuff comes
will I rise up
can I handle it?
Yes is always my answer

I am prepared I am ready
all my work has been for the day now
Whatever before me, it don’t scare me
all my work has been for this day now

Bring on the worst, my thirst is like a poor man
That’s never been reimbursed hey give me my money man!
Opposite of Muslim, BRING HOME THE BACON
I’m not Pixar, you are mistaken that I’m taking shorts
The long route, I’m all out til I get a Boxster Porshe
With a drop top like I got before
Relentless redemption hard to the core
Our core base is hard and raw yeah I’m thinking you all
I’m not just saying it, I dedicated a whole song (you’ll hear it)
Ladies and gentlemen that’s buy spirit’
a rebel with a cause loud and clear its
Endurance for future generations of children
Its our insurance
Like we was drug dealers here’s the purest
Conscious hip hip maybe not for tourist
Its for the native
With native tongues
Who knows the latest of what AD has brung
The newcomers and of course the veterans 21 gun salute!

When the hard stuff comes
will I rise up
can I handle it?
Yes is always my answer
When the hard stuff comes
will I rise up
can I handle it?
Yes is always my answer

I am prepared I am ready
all my work has been for the day now
Whatever before me, it don’t scare me
all my work has been for this day now
I am prepared I am ready
all my work has been for the day now
Whatever before me, it don’t scare me
all my work has been for this day now

Dee-1

Dee-1 used to listen to Speech tapes since I was just a peep squake
I mean I pip squeak that’s what happens when my lips speak
A quick blink will make you lose you destiny so stay awake
And when I make mistakes I hope that you don’t think n less of me
Progression be draining but adolescence be the recipe
Their energy especially inspires and refreshes me
I hear some people hate me but honestly it perplexes me
This for everyone out there that’s second guess’d me
GOD never quit on me in fact he rescued me
Despite my flaws and short comings he blessed’d me
We God’s children but the worlds made of sinners
Picture Goliath falling like the World Trade Center
Yeah
We all winners we all got some David in us
But as beginners we grew up on those TV dinners
So we ready for whatever test the devil send us
Cuz we’re tapped into the greatness that lies within us!
