Now or Never (feat. 5 Star, Solomon Childs & Son One) Lyrics

I refuse to go under somehow it's gotta get better

It's now or never

And money on the wood make the deal go good

Somehow it's gotta get better it's now or never

Grey skies another day without the sun again

Young stomachs rumbling money's not coming in

Summers we was budgeting winters we was struggling

Bitter cause the only heat we had was from the oven in the kitchen

And the cupboard was bare peanut butter plus bread

One way or another our hunger got fed

Moms made sure that her seed could eat

Please believe we seen dope fiends on Regal Street

And that's not where we need to be

Two jobs is hard and moms didn't even sleep

All an effort just to move up like Jefferson's people walk the street

I can see life stressing them looking for their blessing in disguise

Feeling they deprived just wishing they could fly

I see a ribbon in the sky feeling any minute they could die

Missing optimism teardrops dripping from their eyes

Single moms hold your hand people pushing hard

Playing both roles plus the father never took the job

Cut from the cloth of a survivor's walk

They say dying is easy life is hard

I've seen both sides of the lines as designed by the master

The final chapter brings the rapture full force

On course to break out the chains

Israelite veins got me seeking faster lanes

Hunger pains merge with migraines

And leave stains across the ghetto

It's the birth of Romellos

Everybody gotta eat

So the streets host wars

I'm clutching the sword

And I swing like Reggie Jackson

With the passion for survival

It almost seems vital how I'm breaking out the cycle

With a science state that luminates through the terror dome

Where bones of black males consume caskets and jail cells

We twist L's and inhale the sweet smoke

With the hopes of escape

My words make rebels salivate

At the thought

Im caught in the clutches of the duchess

Streets filled with murder and ruckus

My shell's toughness similar to Teflon

Wars for Exxon seen far

When the block scars are fresh

Crocodile death take your last breath

I refuse to go under

Somehow it's gotta get better

it's Now never

And money on the wood make the deal go good

Somehow it's gotta get better

It's now or never

Now or never

Now or never

I refuse to go under

Somehow it's gotta get better

it's Now never

And money on the wood make the deal go good

Somehow it's gotta get better

It's now or never

It's Now or never
