Story Behind The Song

We must create a new way of life as owners within the industries we influence today. Influence does not account for equity. 1neofmani is the artist that speaks on behalf of local artists that rap and the issue BLACK people face while attempting to uncover our greatness. Press play on This Ain't For Them to learn the literature of LessWork Lyrix artist, 1neofmani.

Song Description

Look outside, what do you see? If it's anything like what's going on inside Madison, WI you see high rise condominiums continuously being erected without the inclusion of BLACK residents inside or around the targeted "Opportunity Zones." What will our communities look like in the next 5 years? What will the cost-of-living rise to in Madison? These are the questions this song imposes on. Community is not for sale. BLACK leaders have been bought-out to silence their views on current trends and controversial public issues. This Ain't For Them speaks towards LessWork 1-Stop Solution to launch the world's first 24/hour production house w/ a focus on BLACK creatives to create, produce, and service our community without compromising our beliefs and culture.

Lyrics

intro:
it ain't always gone be pretty
but it'll always be true

Cuh This aint for them
Like that aint for us
Why So many wins
Cuh enough ain't enough
(You gotta run it up)
U see what they doing
That sh*t aint what's up
U gone let em ruin this
Imma stand up
Cuh This aint for them
And that aint for us
Yeah we wanna win
But them losses a plus,
U see what they doing right
That sh*t aint what's up
U gone let em ruin life
Or you can stand up

This aint about no status
It's BIGGER than Madison
We traveling
Gathering data
Reaching my people
cinematic
God a push play on this
How much you pay for this
Valuing money
money in gold
Not money hungry
I get it to go
This is A table
Get you a plate
Voice of a leader
Look me in the face
never be even
Until we get even
All of us grieving
some sh*t don't erase
Would you be wrong
To consider me great
Already written
walking in faith

Never take credit
Them blessings embedded
conquer endeavors
To say that i did it
Would you accept
if we murdered your children
Calling us killers
Excuses to kill us
I can relate if you walking a line
following faith
No mo walking blind
not what we doing
We not on that time
fake ni*gas lit
real ones is dying
Open yo eyes
Fvck out yo feelings
Can't tell me these 24 hours
Ain't slimming
Give me a minute
We Taking the stairs
Fvck being aware
Im better prepared


Cuh This aint for them
Like hat aint for us
Why So many wins
Cuh enough ain't enough
U see what they doing
That shit aint what's up
U gone let em ruin this
Imma stand up
Cuh This aint for them
And that aint for us
Yeah we wanna win
But them losses a plus,
U see what they doing right
That sh*t aint what's up
U gone let em ruin life
Or you can stand up
hun don't get scared now


V2:
Position myself
Not on my own
credit the team

Did it alone
Wrote all the plans
Took every risk
Fuck an award
Im tryna get rich
with wolves
Going legit
Caught in the moment
Feeling a bliss
Guilty of pleasures
When trying to resist
We all get a shot
This an attempt
Study my moves
In moderation
Redesigning all this modern day sh*t
We've been the muse
Of building slave ships
Music and money
The medication
Too much of anything
Can be dangerous
I need the money

To make some changes
Who gone listen if you only bi*chin
Pick a lake nigga get to fishing
Hold lit down we been on the ground
To go back to nothing is nothing now
If im on it it's Uppity
$/0 who fvck with me
BloodLine a business
And Brothers of struggling
TruStory100 we buzzin now
Local leaders of the Underground
Zero intentions of selling out
Power to the people
This allegiance
Follow the light
Not a leader
silence consent
To what you witness
Ride on the rich
Or become a victim
When it's muthafckas like
George Zimmerman

Cuh This aint for them

Like hat aint for us
Why So many wins
Cuh enough ain't enough
(You gotta run it up)
U see what they doing
That sh*t aint what's up
U gone let em ruin this
Imma stand up
Cuh This aint for them
And that aint for us
Yeah we wanna win
But them losses a plus,
U see what they doing right
That sh*t aint what's up
U gone let em ruin life
Or you can stand up
