Lyrics:
I can't even remember
How long we've been hiding here
After ten years waiting for something
You lose your mind through space and time
Dust just fell
Dundee shit representin' the outback
Yo, we do it like this (All the way live, from 2-1-5)
You witnessin' the 5th Dynasty family click (All the way live
On some Dundee shit representin' the outback
(Yo, we do it like this) All the way live from
2-1-5
(You witnessin' the fifth dynasty family click) All
the streets
Is that what you need to feel like you're seen
No, you just want to be a prize for someone
To feel like you're worth fighting for
Or is that just
Mala, are they ready?
Open the door slip the weight off my shoulder
Yeah, we're fighting for change and we're a little closer
And you tell me my
tight, don't let the bedbugs bite
Keep a razor blade or
Jagged-edge butcher knife
Street life - don't catch them lead slugs
Strike or get struck like
falling, me falling, me falling
They don't wanna see me balling, me balling, me balling
Fuck it, man, I'm all in
I live by the code and it's death before
in our complicated law system
We need laws based on nature that are easy
Something that can be grasped by a baby
Laws like so should be simple things
surrounded by some real shit
Need credentials for every one of these Toronto kids
I promised they'd see it with me, we just trying to live
I told 'em we
to love
Carry on, carry on with the simple life
Live, laugh, let all be a part of what's holding us from breaking down
Here's to falling when there's
gon' get it by any means
How unfortunate, January the sixth
Federal officers, raided our offices
Making it hard for us to eat, and breathe, and live
as a kid
I was still tryna get rich
Put my mind all in this shit
Put my grind all in this shit
I put my time all in this shit
Just hoping one day it will
Fight for the States then die in the streets
We're scared of Karens on live TV
And why are you so obsessed with someone else's skin
Teaching is the worst
I be back on my Eternal shit forever
Tell me I should give up, motherfucker, I say never
Been a year in music, and I'm pumping out the projects
Made
the Raq is a gift
Watching the time passing me by
I swear I can hear every tick
Live in the Chi they think you'll die before you reach your twenty fifth
I'm
everything, never seen a cloud that's silver-lined
Feeling like I need to fight for life against these simple minds
The pain of blame has drained my brain
Your thoughts linger in the back of my mind even two years later because
I still feel choked by your rancid water
I still feel the poison ivy cascading
mind grows, being divine, strolls, by the Master
One verse could cause cataclysmic disaster
But the truth hurts to be murder with spoken words
Profound
at seventeen
Shortly after my mama got stabbed by fuckin' around in the streets
But she still breathin'
Which gives me a reason to believe in a higher power
the name of the game out on the street, that's how it goes
They say: "Live by the trigger, die by the trigger"
It ain't about whose gun is more bigger,
Yahweh
Selassie eye and I'm proud to say, I never need a 9 by my waist
Niggas still respect my game so celestials respect my space
And I just might be in
curfew
No wants to follow this
We want to obliterate this
We want to win this battle
Not eveyone is by our side
We will keep fighting until its over
to the sky
IV Pentecost/The New Church
In one accord, we live by faith
Possessions shared; our hope embraced
Our rulers cannot drown our zeal
We have a gift
not simple
Doing shows overseas man it opened my mind
After the show four of em told they drove 100 miles
That's kind of deep but lately king i find it
