Lyrics
World Turning  (Turning) 
Turn on the news and the whole world burning  (world burning) 
People marching  
(marching) 
Remind me of Dream from a King name Martin (martin) 
2020 X the spot like Malcolm  (malcolm) 
Remember when we had separate fountains It's like Deja Vu 
Never thought that we would have to fight this fight too But Hey Here We Are 
I just wanna breathe just like you 
I just wanna run in peace can I jog too 
I just wanna feel safe like you do 
When I see them blue lights hope they don’t SHOOT PLEASE DON’T SHOOT 
We gotta Change The World 
Every man and woman boy and girl 
Said we gotta Change The World 
Every man and woman boy and girl
Now my skin 
(my skin) 
Why do you hate my skin 
(my skin) 
If all that you see is race 
(Is race) 
Then you got to change your ways 
But you won’t respect us till we move in masses These tears of frustration they ain’t from tear gases Just so we on the same page 
WE AIN’T GOT NO MASTERS 
But Hey Here We Are 
I just wanna breathe just like you 
I just wanna run in peace can I jog too 
I just wanna feel safe like you do 
When I see them blue lights hope they don’t SHOOT PLEASE DON’T SHOOT 
We gotta Change The World 
(we gotta change the world) 
Every man and woman boy and girl 
(everybody everybody yeah) 
Said we gotta Change The World
(we gotta Change the world) Every man and woman boy and girl (every man and woman boy and girl)

Lyrics

You play on playa, you keep on playa, they can't stop something from shining, shine on playa
I know they hate you with your blackass, you look like greatness with your...

 Hey this no cap on a beat I black, put it on anything and I bet it on black
We are not the same and I might catch flack, having black friends never made you black
Black so cool even how we say gang make you want to say gang, you ain't never been gang
Even though we had to take whips to the back, we all know that black don't crack
So play on playa, you keep on playa, they can't stop something from shining shine on playa
Believe me I know life is what you make it to be the struggle is real as can be
What does that mean for people that's looking like me who want that american dream

You play on playa, you keep on playa, they cant stop something from shining shine on playa
Ye ye ye
I know they hate you with your blackass, you look like greatness with your blackass
I stay high, I keep up, I been low, came back up, we bounce back, now we up now we up we stay up, ye ye ye
I know they hate you with your blackass, you look like greatness with your blackass

Yes Im a rapper I tend to think bigger no matter how rich, we labeled as niggers, they copy the drip thats a wanted to be nigga, don't hate me just tell me I love you my nigga
But I ain't your nigga better know my name, I know being bitter won't erase the pain
Been praying and praying all we want is change im thinking that god don't hear what Im saying 
So I don't know what to do no more, and so I stay alive and Im staying ten toes
If I wild out then im up town, my whole life thrown away thinking what now
Will it get any better im playing the fence its apart of the game but if you on the bench

You play on playa, you keep on playa, they cant stop something from shining shine on playa
Ye ye ye
I know they hate you with your blackass, you look like greatness with your blackass
I stay high, I keep up, I been low, came back up, we bounce back, now we up now we up we stay up, ye ye ye
I know they hate you with your blackass, you look like greatness with your blackass

Play on you keep on playa, they can't stop something from shining shine on playa
Ye ye ye
I know they hate you with your blackass, you look like greatness with your blackass

Lyrics

Against The Wall
Performed and composed by Harrison First, Marley Waters

Verse (Marley Waters)
Ainʼt no freedom in my mind I need away out. Sick and tired of sitting on our
hands, watch it play out.
Hash-tagging Black Lives
Black Bodies Laid Out
Cops Kill a Nigga Get Promoted Better Pay Outs
One Too Many Kings Killed By The Chrome
Send Your Baby Off they Might Never Make It Home
Pressures From The System Trying To Tamper With My Soul
Suffer on These Streets Blood Stains On The road
Pre hook
Malcolmʼs Pain In The Music
This right here a Revolution
Trying to take whatʼs ours,
What we worked so hard for,
Canʼt stop now
We keep pushing
Hook
Way too long had our backs against the wall
back against the wall
X4
Rap Bridge (Harrison First)
Love me or hate me
or live in light
Show me a gun before you choose to read my rights
Want me to run
So you can shoot me in the night
Iʼm not your boy

Harrison First & Marley Waters - Against The Wall

EXCITED

Life goes on

V1
I can beat em they ain’t ready i know steady wins the race
When they try to stop me now I tell em get up out my face
I been on some muddy roads I done seen some better days
Keep on talkin no lie
I don’t pay it no mind
I been 
Wooh
Doing good on my own so, It don’t matter what you say
I wash it down with some Kool aid
And I just got some peace of mind it got me feeling great 
Yeah But sometimes I feel low think I’ll never find my way

HOOK
And then life goes 
And then life goes on 
I said life goes
I said life goes on 
And then life goes 
And then life goes on
I said life goes on 
I said life goes on
And then life goes 
And then life goes on 
I got life goals
And it might go wrong
Yeah but life goes
I said life goes on
I said life goes on
I said life goes on

V2
I duck em and I dodge em when they come in for the sack
Swear I always give a hundred never get a quarter back
If I did you like you did me tell me how would you react 
See your name up on the screen
When I hear the phone ring 
I just hang up (hello)
I be on the grind no time to lose
When I wake up (let’s go)
I be On the move I won’t let you
Fuck my day up (no)
And now I’m in such a better mood
I never thought that I could ever make it without you

HOOK
But then life goes 
But then life goes on 
I said life goes
I said life goes on 
And then life goes 
And then life goes on
I said life goes on 
I said life goes on
And then life goes 
And then life goes on 
I got life goals
And it might go wrong
Yeah but life goes
I said life goes on
I said life goes on
I said life goes on
And then life goes 
And then life goes on 
I got life goals
And it might go wrong
Yeah but life goes
I said life goes on
I said life goes on
I said life goes on

Lyrics:

I’m just tryna make my people proud
Ima young Black male I made it off the ground
& they say that shit impossible it comes with a lot of hows
Ima do right by that money go invest in a couple houses
They expect me to fall short but this bankroll longer now
I’m full throttle & ain gone press the brakes
They underestimated my ability I got what it take
& he can’t go get no job he got tats in his face
I don't why they see me as a threat i'm just tryna be great
I feel like Trayvon today i got my hood on,
If i was to make it out today i'll put my hood on
Buy out the whole block go get some acres we can live on
What you know about properties um
They know WooDa speak the real he speak reality uh
I don’t know if they envy or if they jealous of me
And uh I don’t know if they really even happy for me but I do know when my songs come on they singing along with me
They wanted real so I gave em real
It’s like they give us a lot of shit they don’t give a damn
It’s a brand new virus I cant get sick i'm really cleansed now he always wanted a Hellcat be he is god's child
I’m just tryna make my people proud
Ima young Black male I made it off the ground
& they say that shit impossible it comes with a lot of hows
Ima do right by that money go invest in a couple houses
They expect me to fall short but this bankroll longer now
I’m full throttle & ain gone press the brakes
They underestimated my ability I got what it take
& he cant go get no job he got tats in his face
I don't why they see me as a threat i'm just tryna be great
Life is hard but swear to god we must do better bruh
And that’s no judgement on it I done had and fucked up
So let me speak it clearly on speaking from experience
You are listening to a college drop out former drug dealer children outta wedlock giver
in the name of cash former brother blood spiller thug nigga similar to Malcom Little
I did a lot of shit that honestly i’m ashamed of
These devils say that you a savage can’t be blamed for it
I say Black man you is god and you should aim for it
Grandma pick that cotton, cut that sugar cane for it
So I refuse to kiss the cracka’s ass I ain’t for it
And if heaven only lily white than i ain’t going
Everybody know the white man’s heaven is a nigga’s hell
Ain’t no savior coming Black folks gotta save ourselves
If it come to your life or a crooked copper don’t be slaughtered
Word to Assata!
I’m just tryna make my people proud
Ima young Black male I made it off the ground
& they say that shit impossible it comes with a lot of hows
Ima do right by that money go invest in a couple houses
They expect me to fall short but this bankroll longer now
I’m full throttle & ain gone press the brakes
They underestimated my ability I got what it take
& he cant go get no job he got tats in his face
i don't why they see me as a threat i'm just tryna be great
What the devil never wants you to understand is that the same condition that creates street leaders create revolutionaries, y’all intertwined
So all that arguing online about who woke and who not who street & who destructive, it don’t make no fucking sense
Because the fact of the matter is your ability to organize the streets is important to the revolution
And the revolution never moves until the people do

Lyrics
 
Look how the melanin drippin
Look how the melanin drippin
Look how the melanin drippin
 
Look how the melanin drippin, my skin is so black like the deepest love
Black like a beetle bug, ain't no different I'm black just like Jesus was
Pressed and you stressed when you see my success, I'm a blessing, You sound like you need a hug
Blessed and I'm flexin ain't doing no regressing, I move with the movement now speed it up
 
Look, came thru straight wreckin shit, cause ain't none of these truths self evident
We rock solid like core, like sediment, we ain't got no motherfuckin president hoe
Black power black excellence, these ignorant motherfuckas ain't pressin me
I been gifted since school, ain't testing me, they too damn small minded for the best of me
 
The worst of me what they thirst to see, Your stereotypes don't work for me
One day your racist ass kids gon work for me
That's gon hurt to see, like certainly
They won't charge these cops with the first degree
When their agenda is surrender or they hurting me
Melanin drippin guess that's why they trippin, We different, they scared of the pigment
 
Look how the melanin drippin
Look how the melanin drippin
Look how the melanin drippin
I do not fit your description
Look how the melanin drippin
Aye, look how the melanin drippin
 
Look how immaculate, black is no accident, how could you begin to challenge it
Me I'm too passionate look how I'm matchin I'm what the others was lackin in
I don't think small, I want it all, I want a mill to be average
Life of the lavish, covered in hundreds, don't get to sleep in the mansion
 
All it takes is a solid motive, we been moving like we got controllers
We been waiting for the perfect opportunity to show em it's a lot colder
Tryna bubble like a dropped soda, different reasons why they eyes on ya
Some wanna see you do good, others see you as a threat, got me like bet
 
See you the ignorant kind, I thought you coulda been different
Thought after four hundred years of the same that level of ignorance just to ridiculous
Guess we still got a distance, I guess we still seen as niggas
Melanin drippin, guess that's why they trippin, we different, they scared of the pigment
 
Look how the melanin drippin
Look how the melanin drippin
Look how the melanin drippin
I do not fit your description
Look how the melanin drippin
Aye, look how the melanin drippin
