(Verse 1) I can feel something calling me in the wisdom of the calm breeze my heart beat to the rhythm of these dark streets must remember every lesson my scars teach right of passage in the jungle of concrete all for a greater cause only God sees initiation complete now it’s on me to listen in the silence, my heart speaks (Verse 2) responsibility to speak truth in this world so deceitful these lies are like bullets and they lethal change of the times, we ride for the people our tribe will survive, live backwards is evil I’m rollin’ close with my soldier folk so composed in this battle taking over souls broke the code and we rose from the comatose 12 helixes awakened in our chromosomes visions of my heart I gotta translate to sine waves manifested into time space vibrate into the form that this rhyme takes shine rays, hustle hard and supply weight for the cause, flippin’ keys for your mind-state to make 3rd eyes see from behind gates it’s high stakes when I’m moving with divine faith futuristic flow making time wait

(Verse 1) from coming up hustlin’ with ambitions for those dividends now I’m on the conscious tip, living what my mission is now I don’t be talking sh***, I’ll show you how I’m livin’ it broke out those boxes, I’m dealin’ with this infinite to manifest dreams we envisioning living in between 2 worlds, take initiative hustle conscious, product I’m still flippin’ it lyrics is like a narcotic but this a different trip inner-light give sight to life’s shadows frequency high, so we fly, where they can’t go still dealing with my devils and my angels but… now they help me see my life from different angles trust when I listen, the silence is where the guidance is so I don’t need a roley to know what time it is soul mining for diamonds that never counterfeit for lightworkerz shining like a halogen (Ynn) it’s just 2 lightworkerz in a Cadillac keep ya 3rd eye open, no cataracts x2 (Verse 2) initiated for the journey I’m facing now the city is the jungle and hustle in my nature and I smell the imitation when dealin’ with snake agents who change faces like masqueraders trying to put a price on my shine like appraisers but I am just vessel, all praise to Creator laid the foundation, no slave to label, I stay straight as a razor to pave my way, we trail blazin’ down for my city but the world what I travel now keep the circle tight, need no friends, only family now see I do this for my future baby girl and the indigo child in the crowd that could change the world with that old soul wisdom surrounded by false idols talking loud and God’s whisper better learn to listen, with proper intuition that put us in position to complete the mission (hook repeat)

(Verse 1) peep the timeline, police kill a black man pay money to the tax man, to drop bombs on an afghan while the kids are bustin’ shots, playing call of duty pretend to be in the military, fighting for the free now marvin G I gotta ask what’s goin on? even as a child, I could feel there’s something wrong now that I have grown I’m trying to comprehend before a youngster of my own, coming in gotta find a place that we could call home before they feel the cold of this world oh baby girl, please don’t lose ya soul to this world I want you to see a brighter day I want you to know there’s more than this so you will know the right of way so I will just pray for this world that we leaving for you people giving up but we gon’ be there for you cuz there’s a reason for you livin another world we dreaming for you for now, in my heart is where I’ll keep it for you (Hook) Hold on you got to hold on in this cold world hold on (Verse 2) I got no answers only questions if both sides think they’re righteous will the road to hell be paved with good intention? got no facts I’m only guessing, would it be effective… to fight ‘em with the weapons they invented? I can feel the tension, every time I give attention to the time line that downloads into my mind, all by design so divisive feeding in my vices, social media be streaming freely, but I wonder what the price is is this the way that life is, living in a society of sickness where you gotta be sick to fit in, oppressor or the victim where false idols shout loud and God whisper I’m learning how to filter and learning how to listen and what I choose to give attention to is my decision if I turn it off, and look inside, will I find the wisdom? beyond the definitions of division we been given another world is calling, tell me what’s your vision

(verse 1) coming up from the underground, seen the world turned upside down lightning crack thunder sound, the weight feel like 5 hundred pounds dark age of a thousand years, where the people still live in fear fuel the greed and desire, the white race misuse the fire first the spark, then the flame, then the atom bomb that rained from the sky on Japan, world domination, that plan been in the works, set up control, but truth is what the future holds no one knows, humanity at the crossroads better be watching our step, mother earth we making her sweat (hot) life’s goes on, but the virus must be cleansed, bet the so-called “civilized” ‘aint ready better recognize what’s petty and what matters that survival of my family can’t be hooked to the mental narcotic, fiber optic, feeding our energy attention, we are the product, of the realest hologram perception I been sent to tell you raise ya muthaf***** hands (Hook) and stand up for what you believe or be a slave in the mind in the land of the free just another day in babylon until it rains what is it going to take us to wake up, in times of change? (verse 2) stay tuned, coming soon to theaters near you… destruction of humanity, saved by technology that’s a red flag of the blue bloods saying go green on a bluetooth black magic looking so beautiful when it seduce you hypnotized by all the screens in the matrix field of dreams simulated fantasy, don’t think, just be a battery on a nine-to-5, another clone, hive mind, honey comb keeping it G-M-O, vibrations stay so low like we walking around in a coma, what type of sh** are we on? this that brave new world soma, the only reality that we know they don’t need no cameras when the camera is all in your phone they don’t need no prison guard when the prison is all in your dome I see it I call it, but change coming, no way to stop this system falling under it’s own dead weight, hollowed from inside your stock is worth nothing when electronic grids shut off if we don’t respect our holy mother earth we get cut off yeah… (Hook) better stand up for what you believe or be a slave in the mind in the land of the free just another day in babylon until it rains what is it going to take us to wake up, in times of change?

(verse 1) I just wanted loyalty, she just want commitment I just want a rider, she just want the tickets I just wanna see the world, manifest the vision she just going with the flow, feeling my ambition ‘cuz opposites attract, how we met was synchronistic but now it’s like our timing’s off, and we so different I’m on the road, trying to grind for my goals and I wonder if her highs are worth her lows in the lab trying to focus, hit with accusations feeding off the drama, so I aint tryin to play this I just wanted something real, now I wonder if it’s there fixated on the image, did we live it just to share? let you in my home, now it’s cold on the side where she laid just another twenty-four and this story fade away guess I’ll never know, but wonder why she came so fast but the pain leaves so slow (hook) I don’t know why we play these games and I dunno why, I let you in my world just to watch it fade away I don’t know why we play these games guess we’ll let this be, another memory so quick to fade away (Verse 2) sometimes I forget that… this some type of game and it’s not the one I’m best at looking back I confess, my heart… wan’t really in it trying to win a queen like a chess match funny she be jockin’ me when I don’t text back she just want attention, right up until she get that what we want we can’t have, maybe that’s the dichotomy afraid to leave the past that’s the self-fulfilling prophecy and I dunno if you can play this game with honesty the more she got to know all of me, she seen the flaws in me probably she just want the image that she saw in me but she don’t like my posts no more, she unfollowed me it’s all good, I just thought that you should know that I thought you something special and I thought that we could grow but I know, but just the way it’s meant to be like your timeline, quick to fade into a memory (hook) I don’t know why we play these games and I dunno why, I let you in my world just to watch it fade away I don’t know why we play these games guess we’ll let this be, another memory so quick to fade away
