The First 03:54
Everyday You draw your guns And point away If I draw mine Are we big enough To put them away Who will be the first To put down their arms Are fear for love We all know the world turns But will ours fall Before we learn We made our beds Then laid in it And can't get up Who will say What needs be said First Who will be the first To put down their arms Are fear for love We all know the world turns But will ours fall Before we learn In our conscience We can hear the subs knocking Subconsciously can't fake it All can see where our bass is Till then loves left underground Paranoid when we hear the sound of discontent Shells spent While we repent And you relentless-lye Miss me, Diss me No one will retreat Even if one wins It's still sort of a defeat From our head to our feet Blinded by ology These things follow me and you We know what's left to do Who will be the first To put down their arms Are fear for love We all know the world turns But will ours fall Before we learn

Supremacy 04:01
If you think for a moment That it's black and white Then you just ain't right Man you just ain't right If you think I could play pawn In this chess game lie Then you just ain't right No, you just ain't right Give me a mic I feel like singing a song Cause Head to my feet I know the truth is in me Reaching for Heights Leaping for Heights But when you leap there's something holding on tight And for so long this wars been going on We feel it's wrong, it’s wrong They push supremacy Making us enemies But it won't work forever Bank accounts, Melanin amounts But who will account for the blood suckers at the top Remind me of a count Dracula, fuck what they selling now I rather sense to me over sesame The real big macs don’t come to the street They always on the run Capitalism got us all spun Capitalizing sing the beginning Similar to the first word of a sentence What is guilty? But we all in jeopardy As long as we can't see The people next to me Are all in the same boat Barely afloat My skin can't account for other sins Same goes for wins but Every time the news spins A politician grins As we fight over who's light As if it were synonymous with right But I believe the future is bright No contradiction I believe the future is bright Give me a mic I feel like singing a song Cause Head to my feet I know the truth is in me Reaching for heights Leaping for Heights But when you leap there's something holding on tight And for so long this wars been going on We feel it's wrong, it’s wrong They push supremacy Making us enemies But it won't work forever If you think for a second That it's rich and poor Then you're probably right You just might be right If we could stop for a moment And see the real fight Then we'll be alright We'll be alright Give me a mic I feel like singing a song Cause Head to my feet I know the truth is in me Reaching for Heights Leaping for Heights But when you leap there's something holding on tight And for so long this wars been going on We feel it's wrong, it’s wrong They push supremacy Making us enemies But it won't work forever

Bleach 03:30
I'll be riding for freedom To them always a nigger But there's worst Er’s Like a cop with a trigger Or the rich get richer They say how do you figure You can tell me what's right When you ain’t making figures Attitude of the trodden Beat down or shot And they got weapons for you Just in case you forgotten Slaving to a grind Will have you losing your mind No strength to fight for freedom When you're barely breathing We got something in our heads That won't let us give in We're still waiting for something While they prepare for us We got to eat there for We'll go along with this today It's so hard to turn away From the truth and their lies So we bleach our eyes That's all they need A nation with closed eyes No means to fight No need to cry When your belly is empty And you feel you can empty Clips on all those pricks That's taking the plenty Tell me how is it one percent Got all of the money spent Fuck it I’m bent But hell these are just facts Some are quick to use When you racist's are proving All the failure of blacks I rather take power back For all the people, their lies From the steeple they taught us How to follow regardless Of proof, thereof lack We got something in our heads That won't let us give in We're still waiting for something While they prepare for us We got to eat there for We'll go along with this today It's so hard to turn away From the truth and their lies So we bleach our eyes They say without there rules There will be chaos Well if this isn't it then what is Well if this isn’t it then what is We got something in our heads That won't let us give in We're still waiting for something While they prepare for us We got to eat there for We'll go along with this today It's so hard to turn away From the truth and their lies So we bleach our eyes

Lost 03:39
Sometimes we all let ourselves go Down the road of the past And can't let go I was right there Fact I’m still here Telling myself things Man you don’t know And it's easy To get Lost But I'll find my way back At all cost I know that you're strong I know you'll carry on Even when you feel A feeling that you're lost A feeling that A feeling that you're lost So lost Mindless, Spineless Haters, defining just how much I'm grinding Venting on these pains and trails Only comes out when I’m rhyming Don't be an eclipse To a sun that is just barely shining Like blacks in America It all comes down to the timing Self fulfilled prophecies Obviously, It's the silver lining I see you selling you just mad because ain’t no one buying I’m on that road to Zion While deep inside I'm crying Although you see me smiling That's just the pain I'm hiding Slipping, Gripping on life’s last bar Till I hit the last bar of this rhyme that I've intertwined Words of pain Not monetary gain Just thought of the insane Tryna make his own lane Fighting battles in his brain So remember my name When it's all said and done I'm done playing games and I had my fun It's time to lift ourselves up and when we give up Fight our battles head on and never run I know that you're strong I know you'll carry on Even when you feel A feeling that you're lost A feeling that A feeling that you're lost So lost Sometimes we all let ourselves go Down the road of the past And can't let go I was right there Fact I’m still here Telling myself things Man you don’t know And it's easy To get Lost But I'll find my way back At all cost I know that you're strong I know you'll carry on Even when you feel A feeling that you're lost A feeling that A feeling that you're lost So lost

Generational 04:07
They say life is what you make it and the pain you gotta take it how much longer can we fake it that glass ceiling yeah we were meant to break it I guess i see it cracking from down here on the pavement but I'm still making payments on a half worthless education ain't no persuading jobs they can't hide the facts yeah they say we on the right track moving forward no looking back We don't want it all But who wants nothing It's hard enough Just getting something This is my narration Of our frustration My generation Running from stagnation why we Still fighting the same wars Still knocking on the same doors still getting high to get by tryna muster strength to just try so baby don't cry I said keep your head up even when you fed up till we stop the fed but and still the feds lock you up for some green steady while they making cream tryna put a hold on your dreams it seems We don't want it all But who wants nothing It's hard enough Just getting something This is my narration Of our frustration My generation Running from stagnation We don't want it all But who wants nothing This is my narration Of our frustration My generation Running from stagnation

War 03:42
They used to call it war used to call it war But now they call it freedom They wanna put us in the mix put us in the mix With the politics that lead them So is it you That they're fighting for Your interest Can't protect no more And the stress of this post-traumatic mess Ways on all their souls and not yours It's war It's war How many more Will we fight It ain't right You’re no catholic You’re no Christian War is their true religion So tell me who’s to say We are better than they You crooked politician So is it you That want's me to bleed You’re interest Money feeds your greed And the stress of this economic mess Might have me in your cavalry Protecting fallacies It's war It's war How many more Will we fight It ain't right So now they’re putting on their dog tags But you look at them as just that Fine Cause you ruined their k-12 Now you wanna make them your K9 And when you ain't fortunate Then they really want your Creedence And don’t wanna listen to Any of your grievance And you know that they won't send their son or daughter To fight with people who ain’t got clearwater Just tryna take it by survival Now they’re lying on the ground Looking for revival Get it CCR I hope that don't go over your head Like the bombs they send Like Baghdad Then you come back they treat you like an outcast It's war It's war How many more Will we fight It ain't right It's war It's war How many more Will we fight It ain't right

Gallows 03:50
First, it started on this wood ship Traveling I survived with a slight grip Lost so many fellows on the long path Felt so much pain to my smooth back As I arrive on this strange land Fully at the mercy of this pale hand Haven't had a good meal in a couple years Hydrated by the taste of my own tears Getting accustomed to these strange ways Tryna find strength in these pained days Held helpless by this cruel gun Looking forward to my new son As my child enters this sick place Before I leave I take one look at his face Hope one day he'll be a strong man But Maybe not much more But nothing less than On the gallows I hear a voice from among the fray Am I losing the fight or is the fight losing me yeah On the gallows I hear a voice from among the fray Am I losing the fight or is the fight losing me yeah Don’t know much behind what I see But grandmas of the old Coromantee There's only one book I'm allowed to read Writing of my dreams of being freed Had a vision as I ran away Only to return was the only way Take some with me before I go And spread this truth that I love and know One night a new message came to me With their own sins I shall slay my enemies My people will strike at first sign August 21st victory will be mine Hopefully it'll go To all those low And free all them From the ties that bind Straight from God to my lips Given to me by the solar eclipse On the gallows I hear a voice from among the fray Am I losing the fight or is the fight losing me yeah On the gallows I hear a voice from among the fray Am I losing the fight or is the fight losing me yeah As we traveled from house to house Me and my seventy The more we began to rouse Through my violent purgatory As I end quartered and flayed Who will pay with my descent No ones coming to my aid This is where I end my legacy On the gallows I hear a voice from among the fray Am I losing the fight or is the fight losing me yeah On the gallows I hear a voice from among the fray Am I losing the fight or is the fight losing me yeah

Sense 03:26
So much trite in our sight So much more to the globe if we don't see it we'll never know Looking for the right tune where I can feel the flow if we don't hear it we'll never know If we don't hear it we'll never know I'll fly sometime can't sleep lately and i think i know why I’ve been giving in settling my mind but then it reminds everything ain’t fine I'm tryna see the world would i even know if i meet the girl that'll leave me breathless fuck the consensus i rather trust my senses I wish I could grow wings And fly away to the many things I wanna see before I die Feel before I die Hear before I die Searching for the right love where heart and mind can grow if we don't feel it we'll never know Some sweet Some bitter but even though if we don't taste it we'll never know if we don't taste it we'll never know these days i wait for the chance to break from these chains my life I'll strive despite all strife loaded gun and knife and these are the things that keep me up at night and days go by I haven’t joined the fight and just for spite I suit up this time and overthrow the ego inside my mind I wish I could grow wings And fly away to the many things I wanna see before I die Feel before I die Hear before I die I wish I could grow wings And fly away to the many things I wanna see before I die Feel before I die Hear before I die

It's Great 03:35
Was just a shot in the dark A momentary spark I see You opened up your heart To risk it on a guy like me Beautiful sadness I admit I was scared of the madness Infatuation, admiration No more A.I. Or talking bout practice Though I thought it never mattered I staggered and shattered The dreams I had of finding another Hearts amazed and dazed, lost, confused And last time it broke in a blunder There's nothing I can do to replace this Space you got in my mind Crazy cause I think of you daily Just one chance and I'll be fine And it's great You elate Not ashamed to feel something again And It's Great You elate Not ashamed to feel something I'm just animal on this arc Looking for the match for me Then I opened up my heart Such a risk for a guy like me No sleep Must be really good at counting sheep How many have you lined up and slaughtered Is that the future or fate for me Thought it never changed Not the same since exchanged and slightly deranged Puppet on a string Our fling I cling from the sting you bring There's nothing I can do to replace this Space you got in my mind It's crazy cuz I think of you daily Just one chance and I'll be fine And it's great You elate Not ashamed to feel something again And It's Great You elate Not ashamed to feel something There's nothing I can do to replace this Space you got in my mind It's crazy cuz I think of you daily Just one chance and I'll be fine And it's great You elate Not ashamed to feel something again And It's Great You elate Not ashamed to feel something

Lies 04:34
[Your beauty] it hits me like a train [and I'm sappy again] [I wish I could hear] you always say my name [one day when I'm in pain] [Love yourself] cause you deserve the best [of anything and everything] I need someone to put me to the test [I would try to give it all to you] OOOOHHHHHHHH ITS A LIE DONT LET THEM DIVIDE YOU FROM WHO YOU TRULY ARE YOU TRULY ARE YOU TRULY ARE [Your empathy] could end the wars of man [and make us all regret] [the way you turn seeds] into little children [it baffles me unravels me] [don’t hate yourself] you really shouldn’t fret [they’ll need you anyway] [don’t be afraid] Stand up and let them know [you can go wherever they can go] I don’t believe in Eve nor Moses could part a sea but what I see is a whole word tryna' contain you and your beauty don’t give up fighting till they all struck down you’ve got lightning just don’t run now It's so frightening what you go through I really don’t know what I would do IT'S A LIE DONT LET THEM DIVIDE YOU FROM WHO you truly are you truly are you truly are you truly are you truly

World 03:28
No peace in our mind Here's a piece of my time Like the middle east it don't cease Mad as a villain whenever I feel doom And life’s been a MF for NS I'm waiting for the ad-lib soon Here To watch her shed a tear Just the thought of the sound Would incite fear So I fantasize a fight with the world changing Even if we had freedom Could we even embrace it I'd love to change the world For a moment Just save one dance for me Like we were free They obstruct the way we breath Through the darkness and the haze And all the pain we see I'd dare to take away I'd love to change the world For a moment Just save one dance for me Like we were free I'm no slave to the beat Too inclined to feel beat PTSD stemming from emotional defeat But the way she moves I see no worry I'm in no hurry Like time stand still Elevating pessimism That I can't kill on my own So much doubt when I'm in the zone And all I hear is Malcolm Hoping that I found him in me Can I be a factor In the world I wanna see I'd love to change the world For a moment Just save one dance for me Like we were free They obstruct the way we breath Through the darkness and the haze And all the pain we see I'd dare to take away I'd love to change the world For a moment Just save one dance for me Like we were free

PRND21 03:24
I need time to clear my mind I gotta to drive away Peace of mind Is hard to find And I always give mine away Drive Try not to get blinded by the light Blinded by the lights When light turns night I feel alright I find my space again When you said you rather dead I gotta take the pain Drive Try not to get blinded by the light Blinded by the lights Take me away Take me, Take me far away Were the wheels hit road And I really don’t wanna get where I got go Once I sit the speed I get Then I dream I'm riding in kitt Roll down the window And let the wind blow Light from the dash As I make my dash Forget about pain And forget about cash But it won't go away No need to be so heavy on the feet When I look sideways I imagine she's still sitting there in the passenger seat Man I'm beat But I pushed her away Just like them all Maybe I'll make just one last call But I auto-forget it Though I'm destine to sweat it Take one more hit from the smoke I’ve lit Then split Drive Try not to get blinded by the light Blinded by the lights Drive Try not to get blinded by the light Blinded by the lights

Traveling 04:29
I used to dream while still awake but it's been a while I need the distance to it I’ll travel for miles I've been Traveling, Traveling, Traveling On this road call life There's no destination I just ride and I ride Ohhh, ohhh ohhh, ohhh ohhh, ohhh ohhh, ohhh It's easier to think than do It's hard to make change when it starts with you coming straight from the jay like blue no these thoughts ain’t new got me scratching my head like Ivy the mental poison lifts when the outside hue shifts I drift towards noise and I create scenes of beautiful things and I start with her eyes cause they tell sweet lies I used to think I sealed my fate but that was a lie I need to get there sometime before I die I've been Traveling, Traveling, Traveling On this road call life There's no destination I just ride and I ride Ohhh, ohhh ohhh, ohhh ohhh, ohhh ohhh, ohhh Seems like every time I blink someone's getting closer to what I think is meant for me like destiny am I wrong for wanting superficial things Yeah I try to be above it But I’m just a puppet It's a bloody valentine cause I'm still here loveless And I start with my eyes cause I know they can't tell lies just like how the crow flys I've been Traveling, Traveling, Traveling On this road call life There's no destination I just ride and I ride Ohhh, ohhh ohhh, ohhh ohhh, ohhh ohhh, ohhh
