Lyrics:
Gotta get up, gotta go to work
Work so hard that your back all hurt
Hurt so bad cause you work so hard
Pick that cotton, work that yard
Yard is hard cause the sun beat down
Down beatin sun makes shoulders brown
Shoulders brown and they might get burnt
Masses whip if your back all hurt
Hurts my family to live like dirt
Like dirt live in the streets for show
Winch your mast, I need that dough
That dough needs so my kids can grow
Grown kids can don't stand like me
Be real tall for the world to see
See my world is world be free but my free world is conspiracy
Young and black and proud like me
Black and proud, stop crowding me
Crowding got clouds over me
One day you'll be soo tall
Move back, move back that morning sun
Shine this light for everyone
That light gon' shine, them clouds is done
One day you'll be soo tall
Gotta fight back and I'm pressed all up
Against that wall and my life is stuck
Stuck like this, I'mma stay fucked up
Fucked up state when the beat don't bump
Don't beat bump when you feel that thump
In your chest cause you're blessed with funk
Funk with blessings ain't it pumped
Momma raised ya'll for days
For days ya'll wanna hold me down
Fit to clown up out to town
Town about the world to struggle
Struggle made me, stronger bubble
Bubble's stronger, lasted longer
Pray to God, gotta make me calmer
Calmer make me, take me higher
Babies need they pacifier
Father made me better rhymer
Rhymin better, living kinder
Kinder living for the city
Sinning with them tig ole bitties
How's it diddy, lookin' pretty
Pretty lookin got me shookin
Make some lovin', keep it cookin
Cookin keep it, come on peep it
Love's the reason, we all need it
Needed are we, Robert Marley
Said one love now it's time to party
Get on down like Gras de Mardi
Love to each and everybody
Everybody love to each
Try to hear you with that speech
Cause life is harder than a peach
When you're young and black and proud like me
Black and proud, stop crowding me
Crowding got clouds over me
One day you'll be soo tall
Move back, move back that morning sun
Shine this light for everyone
That light gon' shine, them clouds is done
One day you'll be soo tall

At one point during highschool when I would skateboard everyday and everywhere listening to this track on my iPod mini, I reached 400+ plays on this Zion I track alone. Critical was another track I played out. Country baked yams

[@zionitv]

respect. We'll keep grindin and one day the world will know.. big up

[@ricoamadeo2]

This song and music video has had a hold on me for a decade now. First discovered it when i was pulling a rickshaw. I don't know how it never blew up. Well done.

[@zionitv]

Thank you for your kind words and staying tuned in

[@MrCrispCookie]

Man, you guys were the first live concert I ever saw, and now I had to learn that Zumbi died. I'm heartbroken right now. Thank you for the positivity and showing a young kid what real Hip Hop is. Whatever mainstream success you did or didn't have, your legacy stands as tall as anyone's. R.I.P and much love from Germany

[@BigSherm]

Still playing this 🕊

[@user-dh3qc3pq3g]

Miss you Brother...

[@IvanDaGrVIII]

the fact that zion i can continually create in a world where mainstream trash 'hip hop' dominates the airwaves and gets most of the profits makes them so inspiring. they don't give up on the world and keep blessing us with such gems. keep it up cuz we need u

[@KatalistProductionsKozzySasha]

Pretty amazing how diverse Zion I has been over the years since they started out. Go Listen to Mind Over Matter and then the newer stuff and its got so much variety! Feel good music that people can relate to! Not to mention they put on one of the best live shows in all of rap music. And one last thing, why is Amplives name rarely on these BEST PRODUCER lists I see all the time? Very underrated producer!

[@evelasco87]

Definitely agree! Mind over Matter is the shit!

[@mappyLS]

Love you guys!! Hit up the fox in Boulder, CO!! Silly puddy is the sickest thing that has come to this planet.

[@N_Garamond]

Beautiful song. The video is so well-done. Aesthetically gorgeous and very provocative. Definitely one of my favorite hip-hop videos.

[@zionitv]

@akspartan92 This song is on our album "True & Livin"

[@evelasco87]

Dang, brings me back to working in Underground Station, hearing this song on our stores DVD we would get monthly, before Mp3s and before even KZbin or any sort of streaming.....the good ol' days. Love Zion I, Eli and The Grouch too. Dope Bay Area rappers! Peace and love!

[@ck-one4172]

I love real hip hop

[@Sepprosinz]

Much love to the crew. More people need to recognize your talent. Saw you in Seattle back in 2003 with Haiku and Del, and you guys stole the show.

[@freewordx]

ZION I 🙏

[@RunAmC00]

The Next Big Thing Poppin, Keep Rockin, and No Stoppin

[@snurr3]

Underground is the true ground! thank u for keeping it alive! soon enough stuff like this will truly see the day of light! keep on keeping on, grow in ur mind, so true n' strong!

[@TheBIGMACATTAKK]

@1994pjo they already are famous fam. fame is not measured by how much money, mainstream radio play, or music videos playing on mtv you have. fame is measured by whether or not you make real music, and specifically whether or not that real music is heard. its hiiipower kid. gotta be rich in mind and soul.

[@MudnavI]

[@zionitv]

@arinkalwa Thank you.

[@lauracrowell6406]

hey axxizzer you don't have to be white and shameful...be white and proud to be you and appreciate black and proud...you can't change who you are, embrace who you are and love who you are so you can love others and spread love for black, white, brown, and the love will conquer the color problem, unless you watch too much mainstream media and you've acquiesced to the consent that has been manufactured and fabricated to make us feel shame and hate for who we are....it's all love! :)

[@jbalaban22]

Interesting video... can you explain the meaning behind it?

[@zionitv]

@stanton1615 haha.. only way to do it!

[@TheErin4785]
