Savages
[Intro: JA.I. Z]
Uh
Woah
It's ya boy
Uh yeah
[Verse 1: JA.I. Z, Mr. J. Medeiros & Both]
You tell the young they can never become what they aspire to
Born in a cell with no one who can inspire you
Your highs are never as high as those who lie to you
Pretending that they live in the sky lying behind your roof
Shooting holes up at your ceiling
Trying to find the proof, trying to fight the feeling
The truth tied up like the noose they've been concealing
Dipped it in diamonds so that you'd find it appealing
Time for dealing, despitе y'all dealing we are thе savages
The natives who fight the appeal of all your lavishness
The brave who find what is real and call it as it is
And use our mind and will to escape the laws of averages
To be rich and broke, or to be broke and rich
You see it all gets flipped by those who've mastered this
Who give a whole new meaning to what gymnastics is
Jumpin' over the walls on old mattresses
[Refrain]
The savage (woah)
We are the savages (we are the savages)
The savage (the savage)
The savage (we are the savages)
The savages (the savages)
We are the savages (the savage)
Yeah
[Verse 2: JA.I. Z, Mr. J. Medeiros & Both]
Who told you poverty makes criminals?
A self-fulfilling prophecy they drill in you
Think of all who made it with their options at a minimal
It takes being creative when they say the block will limit you
The savages, the raw talent to those who have to live
Outside the comforts of the norm where the challenges
Form the outliers and the culture that’ll clash with them
Who own they own style 'cause they can’t afford the fashion trends
The mantra, the savage mind will not be conquered
The contra-diction you find inside the monster
With a cannon, that you can't fire without an author
Like a phantom, that you can't hide inside the opera
When you can’t stand up for your goal, they gonna stop ya
When a man stand up than it’s gold, you got an Oscar
What they’re afraid of, later they will applaud for
When that which you are made of later becomes an art form
[Refrain]
The savage (what up man)
We are the savages
We are the savages (the savage) (the savage)
We are the savages (the savages) (the savages)
We are the savages
The savage
[Outro]
The savage
