"~Survive...Be Proud~"
  by Manudakid



Noise...
Where I’m from we call it revolutionary Arm, or
The voice... we call it revolutionary Armor
Silent isn’t an option, is a 'survival technique'
Event with that...we refuse to stop the leak
We refuse to 'survive', we rather speak...
We rather KILL than praying for our lives...
Coz praying take just enough time to get you
KILLED…

Seen mothers shot by their kid’s friends for target practice
They had no option, it was either their friends mama
Or shoot their own momma…
Ak-47 replaces my little brother’s toys, shits real
Dogs go from men’s best friend to men’s best meal
Kids with big round belly’s aren’t cute, are rather anemic
Bloodless, Clotheless, Hairless and almost Godless
Nap with their mother’s corpse coz they lack strength
Lackadaisical even to give their mother a funeral…
Wake up and stay awake waiting for his turn…

I document my siblings struggle for a reason
One day I’m going back and fighting for a new season
It takes one to change; a million ‘ones’ make a million
Look around U and thank God for ALL U have
I come from the place where NOTHING’s all you have…
I learned that a fight for freedom I’ve been assigned
Find your assignment, we are all chosen...
For death is not a tragedy is a state of mind
If u can read this piece, u serve a purpose 4 mankind
To change someone’s life like a bullet did mine
I will survive… or die Proud
CLOSE UR FIST...
FUCK Wars,Poverty,Inequality,Monarchies,Dictatorship, Racism,Totalitarianism
I will survive... exhibit Pride!It could get me killed but
I rather die before losing my life…


John Carlos&Tommie Smith



*reach for ur made fo, pump ur FIST! not for black power, but for PRIDE! your mission in this earth isnt finished until you change someones' life*

Freedom fighters...document the struggle.You can't live in the past, but we must never forget.Trust me.We made it a long way, but we're far from there. And we ain't supposed to be content either. I'm feelin this shit...change someone's life...I read two of your joints so far and they motivated me. Keep doin ya thang cuz!
