Song lyrics

[Verse 1: Pusha T]
Uh, ah, fuck it, we all poor,
Even if you got money, still lookin' for more.
Why am I buyin' Rollies? I got 20 for sure,
Still connect witchu, it's still hid in the drawer.
With no J's on, I'm still lookin' to score,
You see, they gave us crack, then started wagin' a war,
Uh, all these lies, they steady tellin' me,
Before Obama, we had Eric B. (Woo)
Or Tony Lewis out in D.C.,
The 80's kingpins, gotta free them,
All these faces, they ain't believe in,
If no child's left, then how can we leave them?

[Chorus: Lauryn Hill]
When love is gone, you hold onto anything,
Some do wrong, just to feel anything.
But when the void is filled, you stand up to anything,
When love is real, you can do anything.
(You can do anything)

[Verse 2: Pusha T]
Uh, I do it for my big Benz drivers, (Drivers)
For my street corner survivors, (Survivors)
For my niggas that miss The Wire, (Woo)
And throwback mommies that won't retire.
Reminiscin' on the days
When the trips was Cancún and the bottles got sprayed.
You can't relate 'cause you wasn't there,
Nah, you wasn't hot, let me make it clear:
Y'all was breakin' into cars, we was breakin' bad,
When y'all was fightin' dogs, we was racin' Jags,
This the life for the fast,
Ain't no future, ain't no past, we won't worry 'bout the crash, uh!
Now it's jail poses and club pictures,
Airbrush backdrops and jail visits,
This the dope boy song for the dope boys gone,
Let 'em know it's still snowin'.

[Chorus: Lauryn Hill]
When love's withdrawn, you hold onto anything,
(You hold onto anything)
Some do wrong, they have to do anything.
(They have to do anything)
But when the void is filled, you stand up to anything,
(You stand up to anything)
When love is real, (When love is real)
You can do anything. (You can do anything)

[Verse 3: Pusha T]
I'm speakin' to the soul of my black native bros,
Who ain't get to go to school like a J. Cole,
Who ain't have a silver spoon or a bankroll,
Who weren't taught the golden rule, but they made do.
Free lunches and apple juices, uh,
Food stamps, ashamed to use 'em,
You ever lived with the user?
Shared a bed with abusers? That's the worst way to lose 'em.

[Verse 4: Lauryn Hill]
New plan, but it's a new day,
Black people past their due date,
Settin' the captives free in a new way,
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home,
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home.
It's a new day, black people past their due date,
Settin' the captives free in a new way,
Said, it's not over, it's not over,
Yes, it's just started, it's just started.

[Chorus: Lauryn Hill]
When love is strong, you can do anything,
Things go wrong, but you'll stand up to anything.
(But you'll stand up to anything)
'Cause when the void is filled, you can do anything,
(When the void is filled)
When the love is real, you can do anything.
