Battle Cry

Money cannot buy All the love that's here tonight All the love that's here tonight Ouh-ouh It's just you and I So lift your hands toward the sky Lift your hands toward the sky Ouh-ouh It seems like yesterday that I was nothin' Then all of a sudden I'm a volcanic eruption Then all of a sudden it's like spontaneous combustion And I'm all up in your face yellin': "Bitch, you can tell me nothin'." Cause I came from the bottom, now everybody's watchin' I said it was my time, now I'm who everybody's clockin' And I'm just out here sprintin', I'm runnin' right through my vision I'm trying to outrun my past, but still trying to defeat my limits Cause you only get one moment in this life to be great And you can give it your all despite what it takes And you never let 'em kill you, you take everything they give you And throw it right fuckin' at 'em and tell 'em it doesn't build you And no it don't ever break you, and no it can't overtake you Life's like a bed of roses, you take the thorns and you make do Sometimes you have to hurt for the cause to be reached But one day you'll be stronger than all that you beat And you can say Money cannot buy All the love that's here tonight All the love that's here tonight Ouh-ouh It's just you and I So lift your hands toward the sky Lift your hands toward the sky Ouh-ouh I woke up one Sunday morning, stopped believing in Jesus Stopped believing in churches, I stopped believing in preachers I realized I was a teacher, not just one of the heathens I'm born to destroy the fallacies, start creating believers Start creating the leaders, tell 'em who they should follow Nobody but themselves, especially if they hollow Especially when they empty and death reserves for fulfillment You the only person alive who holds the key to your healin' So you take it and you run with it And keep going even when your sun's hidden Because the time we spent in darkness when the rain come Is where we often find the light soon as the pain's done There ain't no material things in the world That can change the fact that you feel alone Despite the fact that it gets hard, You take it all and you still go Take the sun and you still grow, Lose the light and you still glow I been there, I'm still here and I know how you feel, so Money cannot buy All the love that's here tonight All the love that's here tonight Ouh-ouh It's just you and I So lift your hands toward the sky Lift your hands toward the sky Ouh-ouh We don't wanna fight So sing with me your battle cry Sing with me your battle cry Ouh-ouh Money cannot buy All the love that's here tonight All the love that's here tonight Ouh-ouh It's hard to explain my way of living to people who never lived it A minute in my position filled with my opposition That anybody not different fighting to stay the same I got lives in my hands and I'm fighting to make 'em change Couldn't accept responsibility, find somebody to blame The emotions that I'm harboring 'bout to drive me insane Tried to say fuck everything, but I ain't have a heart to Rarely had a heart to do a lot of things I ought to So now I spit it for people who say their cords missing Inspire life into anybody that's forfeiting Cause it's easy to keep pretending that there's nothing wrong But it's harder to keep your head up and be fucking strong So, now they're telling me, "Go, Haze, they can't stop you. Heavyweight flow, if they can't lift you then they can't drop you The pinnacle, if they can't reach you then they can't top you Man, they can't do anything that you're about to."
