G-Noise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ever since a kid they always taught us raise our hands
Raise one for the power raise one for the power
Raise two for the cowards
For they lock us up again
It is very clear to me they don’t know where they stand
Ever since a kid they always taught us raise our hands
Raise one for the power raise one for the power
For they lock us up again
For you lock us up again
Man I don’t understand
oppression is depressing
Man y’all are not my friends
I do this for the people man I’m doin what I can
Fighting to be equal
But they wanting us banned
Wanting us banned on the low
They want us controlled
You cant take my soul no you can’t take my soul
Taxes taxes fees
Making our money bleed
Y’all should pay more
Free speech is what i feed
It is very clear to me they don’t know where they stand
Ever since a kid they always taught us raise our hands
Raise one for the power raise one for the power
Raise two for the cowards
For they lock us up again
It is very clear to me they don’t know where they stand
Ever since a kid they always taught us raise our hands
Raise one for the power raise one for the power
Raise two for the cowards
For they lock us up again
This is what you started
Rest in peace to the departed
While you throw a fit
I make a fist up to my target
This ain’t really that
Tryna put us in a trap
Feeding is the crack
While they switch up on our backs
I know you my foe
You was never really my bro
You be talking shit under my nose
You was talking that shit befo
Don’t act like I forget
I don’t forgive and I don’t regret
This new time has to be set
That’s a promise and a threat
It is very clear to me they don’t know where they stand
Ever since a kid they always taught us raise our hands
Raise one for the power raise one for the power
Raise two for the cowards
For they lock us up again
It is very it is very don’t know where they stand
Ever since a ever since a taught us raise our hands
Raise one for the raise one for the
Raise one for the power
Lock us up again lock us up again
The lyrics in G-Noise's song "One Two" focus on the frustration and anger of being oppressed by those in power, and the desire to fight for equality and justice. The repeated lines "Raise one for the power, raise two for the cowards" refers to the idea that those in power are often cowardly and immoral, whereas those fighting against oppression are brave and just. The lyrics also touch on themes of control and manipulation, with lines like "they want us controlled, you can't take my soul" indicating the desire for freedom and autonomy. The song ends with a promise to stand up for what is right, and a warning to those in power that change is coming.
