Shekere

Gather in a circle, my purpose
 My collective work (yeah, here we go)
 My responsibility to the Earth, to the hurt
 I rework, self-determination, shootout my-
 We will outlast, rise up from the past
 Our future sway with that ass
 Guess we Osiris in Cali now
 We rise up, who gon' hold us down?
 Black fist and golden crown, ancient sound
 They can't hold us down
 (Shek, shek, shek, shek, shek, shek, shek)
 Shekere
 They put the pain on me
 They put the shame on me
 They were afraid of me (shekere)
 Shake it off, all my pain
 Open up my arms underneath the rain
 Saying as it feels when the music playing
 Drowning out my day, I let it wash away
 Gotta stop trying to carry all the pain
 One glass nigga, nothing carry all the rain
 Can't be afraid to drown when the flood come
 Know this steady flow better than a lump sum
 Piling up your plague on your bum-bum
 Money stress, got too much dip on your chip, but yum-yum
 Yeah, be my guest, do what you gotta do
 Don't let it get stuck in your chest though
 You gotta stretch
 I shake it off, all my pain
 Open up my arms underneath the rain
 Saying is it feeling? Is the music graying?
 Drowning out my day, I let it wash away
 (Shek, shek, shek, shek, shek, shek, shek)
 Shekere, shekere
 Shekere, shekere
 Shekere, shekere (shek, shek, shek, shek, shek)
 (I have the pain on me)
 (I have the shame on me)
 (They put the blame on me)
 Shekere, shekere
 Shekere, shekere
 (They sent the beast on me)
 (They seem to hate on me)
 (They ain't the one for me)
 (They ain't the one for me)
 (They sent the beast on me)
 Guess we Osiris in Cali now
 Rise up, who gon' hold us down?
