Afflicted by our own minds
So now I write this letter
To commemorate those lives
Those who survived
And for all our brothers left behind
The scent of burnt

INTO A DYING WORLD

WITHOUT A BACKBONE


WE’VE LEARNT TO SWIM IN A BLEACHED GRAVEYARD

A GENERATION BORN SCARRED

OUR FIRST STEPS WERE ON BROKEN GROUND

many generations of that hate within
How you living off our mind but you hate our skin
I swear this world wouldn’t be shit without our black inventions

always know what's right
I just know I hope I might
Ima go by faith not sight
So please walk with me
Please walk with me
Please walk with me
With me

All this pressure to be better
Can I exchange patience instead?
'Cause you my parents and I love you
I hope that you understand
'Cause you my

tune
Thinking something in this world is better than nothing to do
Comfy in my skin and shoes, man, I got nothing to prove
When I'm by myself, my cries

Apparently I'm second generation
Black Caribbean
And half white Scottish whatever that means
See lately I feel confused with the boxes
Cause to me

This precious life brought into a world of sorrow
Misery consumes what's left of hope
Is there any other light to live for
Holding on for

a dog, turned to man, now as king, I despise bogus
I sing when I'm high, smoking
I've been losing hope in  world but my mind's focused
Tell me where to go

with fate and laugh when I am terrified
I'm of the eighth generation
The last seven didn't pay attention
To the long game, babies with loaded weapons

This is life
This is worthless
Is there consequence? This apathy is murderous
Hope is dead, buried by regret
Alive for nothing and dying for even

hope they remember us
And forget never
We great
And we don't flake
We come in chopping the heads off these snakes
Great is our fate
Heat we create

My name means 'live in Love"--I hope by now you know it
Cuz our love for others proves that we belong to Jesus
John 13:35 is how we prove we are His

can only be found at the palms of dead legends 
that now live in the cosmos,
For far too long we have buried our rites in this western plight to fly

You must succeed - or perish with the rest

something is coming!!! 

Our world has embraced deception 
Politics has taken the beauty on African soil and we are doomed in our nations
Here we are

You all look the same, but so much has changed
This beer tastes so much better than before

We've got Beefy and tanner4105 being joined in the ring
By Desh, Ryako, and Klopfenpop
Let's take you down to the action

Manufactured world views to replace the old
And new generations of pliant minds
To shape and mold
Tryin' times, same old tools and tricks
Tryin'

by, ain't enough darkness in these skies to take my sunshine
Truth be told they don't give a Fuck About our black lives
We statistics and politicians

that you'll stop me
Is by sending me to heaven

Picture me in a different world
Somewhere in between the past and the present
It's a curse and a blessing

we’re teaching em and stop and support them
We’re losing our legends
It’s a shame and a lesson
Teaching us to hold on and count up our blessings

IT’S TIME

VERSE
I think that we get to this place in our lives
We question what we’ve done with our

oceans
What a crazy time to be alive we've chosen
Set sail south I'mma find my way

Along for the ride
The world out the window it's been passing us by
