(Chorus) I still got my soul if it’s all I know made my mistakes, earned my scars my heart’s not cold, I still got my… soul (Verse 1) there is no pathway ahead of me, so I trail blaze… play this game wit integrity, let em know there’s a way yeah they_say that you conscious, but you aint selling start selling, they say you aint conscious I just wanna give em an option I just wanna break these boxes dealin wit fake sh**, dealin with hatred dealin wit places where nothing is sacred stuck in the Matrix, dealin wit people that lovin enslavement I got no chain for the savior, cuz no one gon’ save us in the city of angels, city of demons dear God give me somethin to pray for give me somethin to believe in, I been duckin these haters, dealin with snakes, don’ trust in their favors don need to catch up with neighbors don need to puff on these vapors used to live life blunted, and wonder where the day went trippin at night wit synthetic light dance in the shadows wit masqueraders now I’ll never go back, memories in my brain like kodak made it so far, gotta remember…. why I do this, an hold that….. in my minds vision… hold that in my minds vision not about_copin these whips and f****** these hos let it be known this a higher mission (Chorus) (Verse 2) been underground, levellin up now this the point I can never give up now this the point where the devils show up now with 2 bad chicks ready to f*** now how do you want it? Do you want to pleasure? Do you want money? I know you want something... you can be famous in the eyes of the public, we’ll give you that coverage people just wanna be entertained, like shadows on cave walls don’t matter who’s real and who are the puppets just give em your poison, they'll love it na… I don want nothing, cuz people I’m one with they judge em, but dealing wit gods, in glass ceiling, so what’s above it... I wonder... do we just wanna f***, like we forgot what love is ? do we jus wanna see the blood and not feel the pain from the heart that pump it? I need healing, from the trauma my ancestors suffered colonized, civilized mind, slow death, killing us bloodless addicted to feedin that hunger, that’s a part of my past that I’m don with got back up and I learned from it now I stay on this path with a compass it’s a cold game, who you trust in? with this dirty money, would you touch it? I’m out the cave, will I reach the summit? I’m close to the edge and pray I don’t plummet (Chorus)

(Verse 1) I grew up lookin up to the dealers, now I’m lookin up to the healers now I’m tryin to hustle this medicine, in my music, can you feel it? (x2) livin the change is feelin the pain, sometimes... but you don’t have to feel it again from years past them nightmares are still in my veins, engrained into my memory the difference is, now I look into mirror and see no enemy I chose to play this game that’s more competitive than it’s ever been with snakes so venomous, that spit that poisonous rhetoric but I transform it into the medicine that make me a better man I’m all in, God couldn’t give me no better hand, I trust that but I never was one to trust no devilish reverend blazin up blunts wit bible passages, laced with amphetamines pass it around the casket of my past, R.I.P, give my sentiments turn my back, moving forward, now to life I give my reverence on stages, blazin' mics, it’s a marvelous sight to see these visions manifest from the pages, as the novelist write (Chorus) when the nights get cold shadows reachin for ya soul jus know... we will be that light house (light house) to help you find ya way home (Verse 2) I know one day I'll blow up, I wonder if it’s my time yet these dreams been on consignment, but that devil that’s in the fine print land of smoke and mirrors, what’s left when that smoke clears? what’s left when you have no fear? I represent for the seers, not deceivers or true believers release my truth to the ethers, connect wit the souls reflecting back the truth you already know, so I will meet you halfway we’ll find that pathway, through the dark on the rise, that Phoenix flies, it all started from that spark yeah death I been so close and that breath of the reaper’s cold but now that door is closed, and it’s life I chose I write these flows for those standing at that crossroads remember you never alone feelin the winds of change, ahead of us blown strong we gotta rise as one, and we know that enemies close temptations I been facing, gotta leave it alone, stay in my zone remember to just breathe... slow... let that energy flow... represent this journey, giving that remedy from my soul (Chorus)

(Verse 1) (Quincy Davis) I see no changes... wake up in the morning and I ask myself... if life’s worth livin should I stash myself... clean water for my family to survive in Flint michigan, did we listen to the cries? got me thinkin' as I’m watchin water flow down the drain, not knowing where it goes, it’s a shame to know people die everyday from the thirst while fresh water flows to the lawns in the burbs they got it good, but what about the rest? and we never know, who’s next while they tryin to privatize water, in my own state got the cascades on lock, for their profits to raise all around the world, controlled by nestle but if I try to catch the rain, they’d arrest me for the dollar bill, where does it end? could you own the water? could you own the wind? (16) (Chorus) (Antonia Marquee) Do you hear me? Tell me do you hear me I’m in need of purity There’s nothing pure for me to drink Why you tryin’ to own the water? Who do you think you are? You better give us what we deserve We need it as pure as our hearts (Verse 2) (Talilo Marfil) knees weak arms heavy they say they care about us, but they don’t just cuz I’m poor don’t mean that I’m not ready to give my body to greater good of yours, of course a war is breaking out so... i see the drought through the windows but it stained with the pain of the chains that have stayed even tho back in the day they was broke i wrote and put my broken soul into the ink of the pen paint a picture of this vision, the Picasso of men i see a throne built on power and the greed at the head of its sheep, is a wolf in its skin in the middle riddle civilians belittled by the mighty men that are witful that says, your basic needs aren’t fitfull to grip a pistol your water contaminated your race is not superior you don’t know your history we flippin this pyramid (Bridge) purify, purify me in my reach, swear that I got it life that i thirst, death surrounds my whole body as I open the bottle, I aint finding no water purify, purify me i can’t believe what I’m seeing i been trying 't find a reason why my family is bleeding in a land full of water but can’t drink it (Chorus) (Bridge) (Quincy Davis) purify me need to find a way to live for my seed m’ni wichoni, water of life so holy, sacred what will it take us... to remember, never take it for granite tell me what they search for when they look at the planets yeah, water is life to grow the seed into the trees we need the trees to breathe
