Lift ’Em Up Derek 32zero (Ft. Talib Kweli)

[Verse One] [Derek 32zero]:
Here's to the world, thanks for all the motivation
See my rhymes come across like dodgin' immigration
We stay at a loss like the Oakland Raider nation
My people rise and die, complete opposite of inflation
We
We balance the equation
Heard lies within they lullabies of our emancipation
Fools try for gold, willin' to sell they souls
We killin' shows, keepin' it blacker than Ester Rowe
We
We crack with the elevation
Above C/sea level
A/aye, B/be honest with graduation
But still scrutinize like the Obama administration
A future of movin' me to the final destination
A violence in my eyelids but I'm a hybrid of
Of Dr. King and P-Town fiends
You see they move white to get green to see brown dirt
You see I moonlight to get dreams, puttin' in work

[Chorus]:
We lift 'em up
Way high in the sky
It's U.N.I. verse and not another man die
We lift 'em up
Way up in the air
Girl dance away your cares, fall in love with your hair
We lift 'em up
Where that same air is thin
Where all my people there fall in love with your skin
