Victory (We Shall Overcome) - Ras Kass

Yo… I go in, like spellin gone

Prison dwellin fel-on, so nigga what’chu really tellin John?

I done had a harder career, than most of my peers

Never got thrown a life preserver, cause most of 'em feared

Niggas got on off my shoulders, and turned they back

Guess you don’t introduce fiends to other dealers if you servin crack

And that’s that, heard the game could be sold

Not told with game sold to soul to talk shit cause I’m not gold

So I promised myself, I’mma follow myself

Pass rap college myself, I’mma do this myself

There’s no rug you can sweep me under

I am one with the universe;

I am earth wind rain and thunder

This is called the warrant, I hot fire the hot Aston Martin

Even my hot ass be pardoned

The audacity to name a hot ass city C-Arson

Niggas harassin me, how many hot bars I be sparkin

Some of the greatest plus all of the hot bitches I dated

I’m a hot boy, spittin fuego hot potato

I’m not the most famous but my flow’s more heinous

Ten years consistently classic radio never played it

Niggas forget I came out Lil' Bow Wow’s age

So I’m still young enough to hit yo' bitch-ass with the gauge

See I would make «Nature of the Threat,» but I’m grown now, color blind

If you been a real friend in my life, dog we brothers

I done seen niggas I grew up with, turned to the other side

Every brother ain’t a brother, can’t convince me otherwise

Re-Up still a team though, Matrix had a glitch

Had to let go of some weak links, one violated a chick

Another was doin bad, helped my dude then he switched

Jumped ship, wanted to be assistant pimp

So here’s baby powder, it’s funny how the world still spinnin

And after everything we still winnin

We shall overcome

Through the pain and the tears we gon' make it out the slums

Through the bad and the worse, we gon' do it 'til it’s done

We, shall over (over) come
