Raina Simone – The System Lyrics
Artist: Raina Simone
Song: The System
People from my past calling me like a séance
I’m ballin’ now they want to lay up
n#gg#s going through phases, we can’t let it phase us (aye)
All these nobodies still hating from the face up
Told ’em i ain’t bernie but i showed them what i’m made of
John that’s my bro, that’s my guy outside decatur (aye)
Told him that i love him, i be going through some changes
You know that i got you baby, we gon’ get this cake up
You know you got raina (raina, aye, hey)
And i’ll be riding for you even when it’s raining
You know there’s beauty in the struggle when the pain ends
If you say that we riding then damnit we riding
I won’t even ask you no questions
If i had a wish i would wish for a way to take my people off of the benches
And i told my brother put down all that sh#t
But he say that’s the way that he living
And that’s just the plight of the system
When the hood raise the children
If you say that we riding then damnit we riding
I won’t even ask you no questions
If i had a wish i would wish for a way to take my people off of the benches
And i told my brother put down all that sh#t
But he say that’s the way that he living
And that’s just the plight of the system
When the hood raise the children
I just pulled in that skrt so they know what it is
I ain’t really one to stunt but i did it for the kids
Who just want to see a life they aspire to live
And in order to aspire they need to see it exists
Other than the wrists
Other than with the sticks
Trying to be big sis
Telling you how to live
Knowing damn well i’m still trying to make all of this sh#t make sense
So much sh#t i’m still trying to let it go
But some of that sh#t unacceptable
The hammer got manners beretta don’t
And my brother ready to let it go
I worked too hard in school
I can’t be on the news
But you’re my brother so f#ck it, i got to ride with you
If you say that we riding then damnit we riding
I won’t even ask you no questions
If i had a wish i would wish for a way to take my people off of the benches
And i told my brother put down all that sh#t
But he say that’s the way that he living
And that’s just the plight of the system
When the hood raise the children
If you say that we riding then damnit we riding
I won’t even ask you no questions
If i had a wish i would wish for a way to take my people off of the benches
And i told my brother put down all that sh#t
But he say that’s the way that he living
And that’s just the plight of the system
When the hood raise the children
It’s only the family, i ride for my brothers
That’s word to my mother you don’t want no drama
It’s only the family, i ride for my brothers
That’s word to my mother, you don’t want no drama
It’s only the family, i ride for my brothers
That’s word to my mother, you don’t want no drama
It’s only the family, i ride for my brothers
That’s word to my mother, you don’t want no drama
It’s only the family, i ride for my brothers
That’s word to my mother, you don’t want no drama
It’s only the family, i ride for my brothers
That’s word to my mother, you don’t want no drama
If you say that we riding then damnit we riding
I won’t even ask you no questions
If i had a wish i would wish for a way to take my people off of the benches
And i told my brother put down all that sh#t
But he say that’s the way that he living
And that’s just the plight of the system
When the hood raise the children
If you say that we riding then damnit we riding
I won’t even ask you no questions
If i had a wish i would wish for a way to take my people off of the benches
And i told my brother put down all that sh#t
But he say that’s the way that he living
And that’s just the plight of the system
When the hood raise the children
Ragan, i’m riding for you
And nae nae, i’m riding for you
And ashy, i’m riding for you
And lai lai, i’m riding for you
And dc, i’m riding for you
And j star, i’m riding for you
And dj, i’m riding for you
And franky and jian and trevor and b say the gang
I’m riding for you
