Keep Going 
[Hook: Clarence The Kid]
Been down bad from the block
Run fast but we ain’t catching up
So we gotta keep going
Been picked on by the cops
Suspect, put us all in the box
But we gotta keep going
This been weighing heavy on my heart
Why won’t this war ever stop?
We just gotta keep going
I said we gotta keep going, yeah
I said we gotta keep –

[Verse 1: Clarence The Kid]
I feel like I’ve grown up way too quick
My perspective been jaded, I’ve hated this shit ever since
I was a kid in the class, forced to pledge allegiance
To a country that don't want me to exist
I’ve been pissed off, fist up, bottle anger in
As an oppressor make mе bite my bottom lip
Don't explode or thеy’ll put you in the pen
Darkness closing in all around me
If you see me walking don’t talk to me
Life has been really hard for me
Heart been guarded with armory
All parts of me have been cautiously navigating this army of
Killers, racists, and officers holding hands in comradery
Autumn leaves have been dropping and falling onto the concrete
Crumbling, being crushed like my people by our society
I could be worry free but the fear is growing inside of me
It’s constantly reminding me that life could be fickle, all of my people really

[Verse 2: Kabwasa]
Fist in the air praise king Kaep
Worried on the block who the cops finna shoot at today?
This the new wave
This the vibe change
This the break the system so we can feel sane for once
Let me walk the block and feel safe for once
Give me a country that got taste for once
Look, check
Black love, black power to my brothers and sisters
It’s been a long time coming now we rocking the system
Right, left uppercut to the founding fathers and they can catch these hands
I know they turning in their grave when they see me dance
It kinda feels like a power shift
Black boys and girls growing up with a new dynamic, a new gist
See you best believe lil baby, baby we run shit but still…
[Hook: Clarence The Kid & Kabwasa]

[Verse 3: Jamel]
I said here we go again, this ain’t nothin new
I should listen to my kin and go cop a tool
Well, in my defense amendment number two
Really don’t protect niggas, man, that’s my point of view
Have the kids take a vest with ‘em when they go to school
Cause the cops be arresting them, no reason or proof
And you could be the next nigga, watch how you move
Feelin real hesitant to break any rule
Cause you know that they favor the white man
Yeah, I’m light skin, 1 plus 5’10
Just a lover, never fightin’
Spittin’ rhymes cause I can’t stay silent
They turn on a dime when we need em, now they hidin’
Voted Biden cause, I mean, who else imma choose
Every candidate be trippin’, just go look at the news
Every motherfucker got some loose screws
Feelin’ like this whole thing was a lose lose
Damn, I shoulda knew cause I...

[Verse 4: Clarence The Kid]
Look, what the fuck is this world dog?
Every time I turn around something falling apart
I put my pain in my art, cuz it can’t stay in my heart
I’m tryna change the world for real but I don’t know where to start
I put my soul into these verses, all I get is applause
But nothing’s changing, it's amazing how defying the odds
Won't ever even the score, we pleading for something more
But just discussing ain't enough for them to change up the law
Cuz I done witnessed the politicians admit to a system
Then say “reform” and other shit that make us want to believe them
But really justice never been a listing on their agenda
So come election time we feeling like no hope is within us
And I think Joe is a win but only cuz Donald isn't
Kamala shines as a beacon for all our colorful women
But she was still up in Oakland everyday sentencing niggas
So really how can I celebrate knowing war is still present
Explain that
