lyrics

Zynia: We live in rockland baby...

All:
We live in Rockland baby
we tryina make it baby
The time is NOW

SHA - Verse 1:

Mad trees line the streets
city kids parents came here to find peace
wake up in the AM to find deer looking for eats
in your bushes
follow me see where the evil minds meet
to divide and defeat
the inner outsiders decided the fate
of the schools
like the ramapo indians they had to delete
from the history
we add to it the East
while they add to the stress, at school
feeling like they had me beneath
i tried to reach for the right tools they would grab me with beef
the muzzle they had me under
sad with disbelief
i always glad for my peeps tho
surrounded up and down Eckerson
200 building beyond we all witnessing
life from a movie set every jet lets off fumes
that criss cross the sun's path
looking like graph paper
check the wrath in my paragraph then we hit the palisades to the city
to speed up the hour glass later...

Hook:

We live in Rockland baby
we tryina make it baby
the time is NOW

RaZah Adé - Verse 2:

The picture of the American dream lives here
my peers and i witness it wishing
some of us obtain pieces in this petri dish
malls and plazas replace fields
how we work our shifts
adoptin' patois now mixed in the jargon we spit
creating brand new cultural scripts
welcome to Rockland
meet the ambitious and frustrated
fronters and understated
mostly domestic but foreigners swarm
like its ellis island that they checking through
weed smoke electrify a wide scope of these young folk
effected by social decisions of a specific sect
bangin on a level the feds had to check
we must connect my way out i phase out distraction
and know whats happenin
my fellow townsmen raise up and win it
no matter how they paint us just get it

Hook
