Lyrics
0:31What's your life about Enlighten me
0:33Is you gon' live on your knees or die on your feet
0:35There's fire in the street fire in the swisher
0:36Fire in between the two legs of your lil' sister
0:39Just get a sip of this elixir
0:41Before they crop us out the picture
0:43I've never seen a crop circle
0:44But I've cops circle the block I puff squares
0:46But I swear one day I'ma stop my nerves itch
0:48On the brink of my career while my peers struggle for employment
0:51Can you hear these screams (Uncle Sam ain't no killing me)
0:53One two three four grams and a fifth of Hennessy
0:56A bad b**ch f**k the penitentiary
0:57Section 80's babies blame Ronald Reagan
1:01We raising hell
1:03Lord forbid
1:03The homie got wet so we tryna soak it in
1:05The president is black but you can't vote for skin
1:07You vote for the better man
1:10Come to our show you can see the diversity
1:11Unify the people they gon' peep it universally
1:13We might not change the world but we gon' manipulate it
1:16I hope you participating
1:17Aiyyo Dot won't you let these cats know
1:19We knew we'd be here like back in '04
1:21Started HiiiPoWeR because our generation needed a generator
1:23And the system made to disintegrate us
1:26And all we do is assist 'em
1:27We're not victors we're victims
1:29The bigger picture isn't developed yet
1:31Like what if kids were celibate
1:33Or what is Tammy came across a real man
1:35Who didn't play games like chil-dren
1:37My ni**a cheated on his girlfriend
1:39With his girlfriend's girlfriend let the world end
1:41And everybody tripping off twenty-twelve
1:42And the extraterrestrial presence as well
1:44(Odd Future's aight) but our future's not
1:46That martial law sh*t drop we gon' all get got
1:48So keep that question mark on your face
1:50Eat your fast-food use your fluoride toothpaste
1:51Hide your feelings from the public work your lil' nine-to-five
1:53Don't forget to pay your tithes and thank God you alive (HiiiPoWeR)
2:00And on another note
2:01We focussed like the Hubble Telescope 'Soul
2:06Life is a traffic jam (life is a traffic jam)
2:08Life is a traffic jam
2:09Life is a traffic jam
2:10Life is a traffic jam
2:11Life is a traffic jam (ready to go)
2:13Life is a traffic jam (ready to go)
2:15Life is a traffic jam (ready to go)
2:17Life is a traffic jam
2:19Life is a traffic jam
2:21I wrote this because I was ordered to
2:22People say I speak for generation Y
2:26Why lie I do
2:28Section 80 your son will play me if radio won't
2:32Daughters that just turned one to twenty-one listen to Kendrick
2:34For instance
2:35What's your life about Enlighten me
2:37Is you gon' live on your knees or die on your feet
2:39Take out that student loan and pay off your college degree
2:40And do exactly what you see on TV
2:42True story
2:44Hmm can you repeat that for me 'Soul
2:47What's your life about Enlighten me
2:48Is you gon' live on your knees or die on your feet
2:50Is you gon' plead the fifth or sound the horn
2:52The time is now my child come on
2:54See a lot of y'all don't understand Kendrick Lamar
2:56Because you wonder how I could talk about money hoes clothes God and history
2:59All in the same sentence
3:00You know what all them things have in common
3:02Only half of the truth if you tell it
3:04See I spent twenty-three years on this earth searching for answers
3:06Till one day I realised I had to come up with my own
3:09I'm not on the outside looking in I'm not on inside looking out
3:12I'm in the dead f**king centre looking around
3:15You ever seen a newborn baby kill a grown man
3:17That's an analogy for the way the world make me react
3:20My innocence been dead
3:21So the next time I talk about money hoes clothes God and history
3:24All in the same sentence
3:26Just know I meant it and you felt it
3:28Cause you too are searching for answers
3:29I'm not the next pop star I'm not the next socially aware rapper
3:32I am a human motherf**king being over d**e a** instrumentation
3:36Kendrick Lamar
3:39Now f**k 'em up Terrace
3:43('Soul )
5:06I watch this fire that we're gathered around
5:08And see that it burns similar to the fire that burns inside you
5:12Section 80 Section 80 babies
5:16A generation of bliss and disobedience
5:19No they can't control us no they can't control you
5:23No they can't control us but we control each other
5:27We build our own world
5:29If you don't leave with nothing else tonight you will leave with knowing yourself
5:36You will leave knowing you represent something that's bigger than all of us
5:41Or our family
5:43Heart honor and represent
5:45This is you this is me and we are HiiiPoWeR
What's your life about Enlighten me
Is you gon' live on your knees or die on your feet
There's fire in the street fire in the swisher
Fire in between the two legs of your lil' sister
