Bob - Many Rivers Lyrics
[Intro]Many rivers to cross (you ain't got to ask me what I do this for)But I can't seem to find my way over (I do this for my city)[Verse 1]Constantly on the come up, constantly on the come upBut I always get this feeling and it's constantly on my stomachI learned to always follow my instinct, when you come from where I come fromThey try to make a n-gga feel like King Kong in the concrete jungleDamn, cause they don't teach n-ggas how to deal with angerNah, they only teach n-ggas there ain't nothin' real but dangerPolitics will not swing in our favorCause all of us are rappers or entertainersBut I still woke up and said, "Young n-gga, get it"Cause this is your life you can choose how you live it[Hook]Are we just lost in the city of madness?Or do the powers that be just lack human compassion?I don't know...[Interlude 1]And they don't want you to speak the truth, manSee when you speak the truth they like to make you feel crazyBut you ain't crazy, don't let them lie to youWhoever you are, you out thereKeep doing you, man, f-ck the hatersLet 'em hate, let 'em hate[Verse 2]You only get one life, you knowAnd this life ain't in my controlWhen you talk about politics, it's a rod for a lightning boltTell me how do you fight a war when the price is for your soul?When you gambling with your life, that's a hell of a pair of dice to rollThey say, "Bobby Ray where you went? All you talk about is whips"I say you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it take a sipYeah, everybody got their own two penniesBut what does that mean if it don't make sense?I see the crowd, their hands up highBut what does that mean? What do they get?At the end of the day what I get paid and they go home what do they think?How can we ever be free if policies don't ever change?[Hook][Interlude 2]You know, sometimes it feels like it's just against the world, manWho really got our best interests, man?Don't, don't, don't let 'em take your soul, manDon't, don't, don't let 'em take your soul, don't take your soul[Intro][Outro]No GenrePeople ask me what No Genre meansYou know, I once did a mixtape called No GenreI didn't realize that no genre man, like no genre really described my careerPeople started, like, gravitating toward No Genre and, you know, I was like, "F-ck it, let's do a part two"It really can't be defined by any genre, soF-ck it man, No Genre
