Propaganda - Raise The Banner Lyrics
You know, you it hit me one night I was reading my daughterA bedtime story and uhm, I noticed somethingYou know every time I read this story it never fails,You know the tortoise he always winsThis ain't a game standard, better raise the bannerYou should demand better, homie, raise the bannerTestify, rally cry, under the bannerJaja kiki si, follow the bannerUh, for your children, for your neighbours, for your communities,Follow the banner!Everybody, unashamed, lock your arms, plant your feet,Look around, they need you! Follow the bannerEey yo, tíos, tías, atéis, quías; consider your influence,The Lord wants one fíasThis ain't about ego, stop thinking so selfishlyCalled to be the best is what's best for our community,Consistency, change the future of a family,When one goes to college, it breaks the cycle of povertyI know a ex-vice lord dropped his flags, and picked up the pulpit,Put a price on his headWhat caught us in a hairstyle, brave in the drought,And just last week he baptized and got him put the head out!My cousin Era shootin' kites to aunt Carolin about how he hates his lifeAnd tell me a lil' more about Christ,Well versed in gang talk, fooled them OGs and them prison guard,Now he walks a yard he owns, no could'a should'a would'a's,Ask all my kin, folks, I read the story a million times,Tortoise always winsBetter husbands, better fathers, more servants, more diligenceNo excuses, they are uselessYou can do this, follow the bannerIt takes discipline, to be dead to sin,Can't do it alone, you need your kinJust keep the pace, understand the race,You ain't gotta be fast, just don't run out of gasNo honorable mentionsLeave no leftovers,Licked the plate of life clean and thanks to Elohim,No Ponzi schemes, just excellence, just reverence - He is our bannerJust look around, examine creation, it's beautiful ain't it?The pictures he paintedB-line the finish line, don't mind if you quote meAsk why we ain't hot yet? We cookin' ours slowly
