    LYRICS:
    [Natti]
    You can only see the stars when it's Don Cheadle black
    when the chips are down who dips and who reacts?
    folding under pressure ain't get us to where we at
    when all hope's lost you battle to get it back
    in fact, dark times are when heroes shine
    without them sour grapes there would be no wine
    let your ego dine, adversity for breakfast
    zero pride, in settling for less then
    fighting tooth and nail, no matter who prevails
    instead of wishing on a star grab a comet by the tail
    your ship ain't coming in, then you got to make a sale
    catch the wind and make it sail and hit the ground runnin'
    til ya heartbeat sound like a battle drum thumpin'
    those talking 'bout failure ain't talkin' 'bout nothin'
    you may weather the storm if you don't stop punchin'
    reach for the stars and you might just touch 'em
    [Deacon The Villain]
    Our money's funny, our change is strange
    these days ain't sunny and the sea ain't tame
    we playing games where the rules ain't clearly defined
    in this coffee black world, knee deep in the grind
    be a vine in the shade, a salmon in a stream
    try lookin' for the stars when examining your dreams
    could go from street singers to pop figures
    from block niggaz to a brotha that is followin' stock tickers
    to grow in the night you gotta create light
    gotta be a gamma ray burst that erase sight
    no astronomer has seen your incredible gleam
    and you don't need a telescope to detect dream
    you blessed with a mind that can see through space
    on dark nights, in the stars you can find your face
    just look up and marvel at all the constellations
    Egyptians built pyramids from these creations
    [Natti]
    Against all odds and against the grain
    sun becomes shelter in the midst of rain
    in monsoon proportions them moments of importance
    when victory's in vain it's the same the blood coursin
    of course when selfishness inside provides poison
    apply it to your life and let it sink in like ointment
    poised when them black clouds come 'round don't back down
    let haters be theme music playin' in the background

    These guys albums are so inspiring. I love everything they have put out since I've gotten up on them. This track here is no different. Love the entire song, but I love the line by Natti, "Against all odds and against the grain, sun becomes shelter in the midst of rain" They definitely deserve more recognition than what they get.

    I will overcome ALL obstacles. I dont care if I have to take on all of you bullies you all abuse your power. I'm not a slave I won't be subjugated to your truth when it goes against my own! You're not always right and I'm not always wrong. Slavery is wrong! Freedom is good for business you all fear the unknown! I refuse to live in fear of you or anyone! If you exercise your will over mine when I mean you no harm it proves your the evil one not me! If I can forgive you then you should be able to forgive me you have more power! You have more responsibility than me! I'm not the one out here hurting people you all are! You judge me NO I JUDGE YOU! you are abusing your powers you did not treat me kindly my life is inhumane and I blame all of you!
