Sweatshop Union

Up From The Ground

We all chase after things that just hold us down

Yeah but we're moving up from the ground

We wrote the sounds that are bound to turn out your town

Keep moving around and around

We all chase after things that just hold us down

Yeah but we're moving up from the ground

We wrote the sounds that are bound to turn out your frown

Keep moving around and around

In the place with amazing grace

Moving under all those just wasting space

So we raise the stakes and erase the slate

Running out all rappers on a paper chase

Just a taste of a soul in race

But don't keep faith but control breeds hate

A lonely face up a phony fakes

For as long as it takes

I'm my own when I'm able

Let's take the first step to a system phone

Grab hold and try to change the things that we all own

If we make sole progress

Sometimes I seemed so blessed

But we gotta stay positive, driven and focused

On this protest it's the bar reps and oak lifts

Actions speak louder than words but we still press

On trying to right the wrongs with these songs

It's not a matter of lift

It's just a matter of how long

It's the stuff that'll be stale as bomb

Just twist the dial turn the radio on

Plus they're playing the songs that are paying the blings

Making them all part by saying the wrong things

Come on take the junk, turn it around

Stop faking the funk burn the shit to the ground

What better way than now today escape the crowd

Or we can remain proud, face down, safe and sound

We all chase after things that just hold us down

Yeah but we're moving up from the ground

We wrote the sounds that are bound to turn out your town

Around and around

We all chase after things that just hold us down

Yeah but we're moving up from the ground

We wrote the sounds that are bound to turn out your frown

Keep moving around and around

Live your life to the fullest, let the chips fall

Give it all you got til you hit a brick wall

Shit y'all, it's all a big game right

Ain't like it matters anyway so we play right

Stay hype, til the final curtains close

First to blow bubble be the first to go

Hone your craft make sure you're verses flow

Stay humble, spread lovin, stay versatile

Kyprios killed the radio star

Motor on the track gotta wait in a boxcar

Kyprios killed in stereo war

Raining over him love and hate in my heart

I'm about a ten a ten, a baller who intend

To win the manner of an alien, a scholar and a gentleman

Intelligent I innovate you little let us demonstrate

Shark in a puddle, you a minnow in a lake

Consider this a break from the everyday pre-packaged week average music

We have this way of making people wanna jump and move

And thank god there's somebody bumping something new

(Sweatshop)

Coming through, so clear the path

And feel the wrath of a disaster near to happen

Need to hear the rap and sing to the masses

Keeping them smiling while their kingdom collapses

We all chase after things that just hold us down

Yeah but we're moving up from the ground

We wrote the sounds that are bound to turn out your town

Keep moving around and around

We all chase after things that just hold us down

Yeah but we're moving up from the ground

We wrote the sounds that are bound to turn out your frown

Move around and around
