[Hook: Colin Munroe]
|
Don't look back 'cause we're all like lightning
|
Here today, then we're gone like lightning
|
Light up the sky and live for something
|
Everyone lives, only few become lightning
|
Don't look back 'cause we're all like lightning
|
Here today, then we're gone like lightning
|
Light up the sky and live for something
|
Everyone lives, only few become lightning

[Verse 1: Donnis]
|
If you stand for nothing, you'll fall for it all, times is hard
|
These people is losing they jobs, my Homegirl Michelle out here
|
Losing her mom and nah, they ain't got a cure for cancer
|
Her little sister looking up to me for answers
|
All I can do is sit her down and read her the pamphlet
|
But what I'm supposed to say when her mama just vanish?
|
Gone in an instant, God, if you hear this, I need your assistance
|
I wanna be different but all they wanna hear about is drugs and pimp shit
|
Who gon' make a difference? I guess these niggas came with the wrong intentions
|
Manolo got fired, they ain't give him his pension
|
Eight years out in Couveya, he played his position
|
And now he serving things just to make him a living
|
We here on a mission and it starts in the mirror, Lord, can you hear my prayer?
|

[Verse 2: Donnis]
|
When I say this, some people may start to hate me
|
Scared to get a government money to get a Haiti
|
Saw what they did with FEMA, scared to be a believer
|
Donnis no longer rapper, nah, now I'd rather be teacher
|
The day I saw my preacher in a Phantom with security guards
|
He said what up Don? I just gave him a nod
|
Do we need all these things to get closer to God?
|
Then my Auntie Taj bought us Gucci ties, see, where she reside is where dreams die
|
And they don't resurrect, they live in them projects
|
And them government projects don't help 'em the way you think
|
Sometimes I just think that they just want us to lose
|
I see how we depicted on the six o'clock news
|
They feed us drugs and booze until we dazed and confused
|
Damn, I refuse to become another statistic to get caught in the system
|
