[00:07.34]	'Til we get there
[00:12.38]	'Til we get there
[00:17.42]	'Til we get there
[00:23.36]	Yowego, from the poorest and blackest
[00:25.97]	of people
[00:27.04]	To survive in the streets of Modesho
[00:29.35]	The most dangerous armed and lethal,
[00:31.94]	yet peaceful
[00:32.91]	We no evil,
[00:34.31]	I come from the slums that's run down
[00:37.01]	Spit native intelligent tongue sound
[00:39.59]	Would rather get gunned down
[00:40.99]	than dumbed down
[00:42.18]	So come down
[00:43.31]	Much success to you comrade
[00:45.40]	To who I wrong,
[00:46.05]	if it's never been said before,
[00:47.79]	my bad
[00:48.54]	I took a page from the book of Martin Luther
[00:50.99]	And decided that it's better to hug ya
[00:53.03]	than to shoot ya
[00:54.13]	I'm sorry homie
[00:54.83]	if it's not what ya use ta
[00:56.19]	But the way that we livin'
[00:57.51]	these black lives is beautiful
[00:58.91]	All the things we've been through
[01:00.41]	and the tree we done bloomed
[01:01.60]	We probably family but we never knew
[01:02.69]	'Til we get there, I'm on your side
[01:07.57]	'Til we get there, I'm on your side
[01:12.66]	And it can take some time,
[01:15.20]	'til we win this fight
[01:17.70]	'Til we get there, I'm on your side, yeah
[01:23.84]	That's what's called solidarity
[01:25.16]	When we struggle it's therapy,
[01:26.96]	after chaos we get clarity
[01:28.92]	My enemy's enemy is my man remember?
[01:30.98]	I ain't tryin' to be endin' up
[01:32.56]	in this man's dilemma
[01:33.81]	We only here for a minute,
[01:34.95]	it's what you make it so live it
[01:36.95]	See, I'm a ryder
[01:37.90]	and I'm gon' be remembered
[01:39.20]	For those of you not born,
[01:40.26]	to those of you not here
[01:42.47]	I wish you the best and that's real
[01:44.07]	This ain't ya average,
[01:45.27]	when they portray us
[01:46.31]	they say \"all savage\"
[01:47.76]	Cause we have it, blast it, won't stash it
[01:50.41]	Cause we fight to the death and manage
[01:52.78]	To makes songs of struggle
[01:54.22]	and to habits
[01:55.42]	And dammit, if I don't get even
[01:57.98]	It's chant down Babylon season
[02:00.51]	Die for Nee Orleans to Cleveland
[02:03.29]	'Til we even, we not believin'
[02:04.40]	（'Til we get there, I'm on your side, yeah）
[02:08.34]	'Til we get there, I'm on your side
[02:13.39]	And it can take some time,
[02:15.88]	'til we win this fight
[02:18.43]	'Til we get there, I'm on your side, yeah
[02:24.60]	I love when we makin' plays
[02:25.74]	I love all our brilliant ways
[02:27.14]	I love when we get paid
[02:28.43]	and never move away from the hood
[02:30.17]	We keep gettin' while the gettin' is good
[02:32.57]	You right at home
[02:33.41]	in our neck of the woods
[02:34.71]	Cause we people,
[02:35.42]	momma said
[02:36.13]	treat others like you want 'em to treat you
[02:38.03]	We just wanna live and be peaceful
[02:40.25]	Long as it makes sense,
[02:41.30]	I'm a have patience
[02:42.45]	Especially with my brothas
[02:43.59]	I go back in the day with
[02:45.33]	We speak the same language,
[02:46.69]	suffer the same dangers
[02:47.73]	Cause our children are victims
[02:49.02]	of lead paint chips
[02:50.47]	Out in L.A. they put the black
[02:51.87]	against the Mexicans
[02:53.01]	Old rivaling's is throwin' up
[02:54.37]	they sets again
[02:55.36]	They put the short against the tall
[02:56.85]	and the old vers the new
[02:57.95]	Pretty soon it's gon' be me against you
[02:59.99]	All the things we been through
[03:01.40]	and the tree that we bloomed
