Stage I: Frustration
03:59
|
|||
Clouds bloody red; an omen looms
Should we run for cover?
No, we're getting loud in the face of certain doom
"Hit us with your best shot"
Staring at us like an open wound
Something revolutionary
That will help with anything we're going through
Victory the next stop
Wait
Leadership'll get shot
Try to make a little noise and have the pressure hit you
Get your neck rocked similar to Hogan and his leg drop
Hate
Is the main ingredient; no-one's ready yet to put a fresh pot
On the burner
So we're further from the end
A net loss, but I'm less shocked
Break
Tell me why we're really fighting, bruh?
(Everywhere they try to hold us down)
Tell me what we're really fighting for
(Everywhere they try to hold us down)
Screaming at us "Yo, we hate you all!"
(Everywhere they try to hold us down)
Even still we're gonna break through walls
(Nothing's ever gonna hold us now)
Building in my chest now
Should I let it rest?
Never
Conversations truly were a let down
Tried paying my respects
But their teeth are biting deep into my flesh
And my patience failing every single test
All I am to them is just a pest
So they'll never realize that I'm a threat now
Try to bide my time
Wait until the moment when I'm gonna shine
I look further over the horizon
Notice all them cutting down men in their prime
Suffering in silence
When demanding freedom has become a crime
They can never blame me for the coming violence
They known they're already crossing over lines

Stage II: Mania
03:48
|

I'm the realest motherfucker here
MVP candidates better wait another year
Everything I say is etched in stone
I'm the next to blow
Mauling motherfuckers like a momma bear
Nobody on this Earth
Is worthy of comparing to me other than immaculate births
How is that ever possible?
All those heavy laden who thirst
Can come to me because I'm spitting the gospel
I'm floating up to Heaven through the ozone layer
I've got a ticket for the round trip
Yes, the vacation sounds sick
In the vehicle of magical prayer
I never down shift
Confidence: you know that I found it
Meanwhile everybody standing around it is astounded
Not bad for the one that they all shitted on
Doesn't matter if I'm ever surrounded
Because all the imitators will continually get it wrong
On the other hand, I'm nearing perfection
Of my art form
Call it scientific selection
Because every time I'm on the mic I'm going to wreck shit
Take your smart phone
GPS the simplest exit
Inconvenient truth in a sentence
Leave your heart sore
Feelings breaking free of pretension
Tension
Won't forget to mention
No-one can ever find solutions before first dissension
But can I hide my sentience?
Authorities are holding everybody
(back, back)
And so I'm putting up a bit of a front
They sit and wait for me to take a shot, I know I'm
(past that)
Never giving them a person to hunt
But yo, we're coming to the season
Sun is in the sky and illuminating our freedom
Therefor from the day we realize it to the hour when we breathe our
(last gap)
We be doing just whatever we want
Better recognize I'm all those things
Bitch, you better recognize I'm all those things, ok?
Yeah, you better know I'm all those things
Look into my eyes, see I'm all those things, ok?
Free-falling so I spread my wings
Bitch you better recognize I'm all those things, ok?
Won it all so I'm wearing my rings
Look into my eyes, see I'm all those things, ok?

Stage III: Aggression
03:48
|
|||
About time that I laid the smackdown
Rest assured I'm ensuring this is the last round
Allow the bell to ring
I am no defender
The lyricism dismembers
Opponents, I know they've felt the sting
Don't accept the progression? You need to back down
Otherwise feel the fury within my rap sounds
There is no turning back
We are on a mission
Pursue it without permission
From rulers who's hearts have turned to black
Honest I wanna know what you can do for me
And I'm hoping you have the right answer
All aggressions of my people now they flow through me
Let it multiply within you like a bad cancer
I got the fire in me
For what I'm trying to be
'Cause what I'm trying to be
Is someone flying and free
I got the fire in me
Stepping my foot out in the street, become a warrior
Bleeding profusely, doing it for the cause
'Cause I'm fighting for the future me, never for the applause
In the desert looking for an oasis not a mirage
Currently boxed in but breaking free of the storyboard
A couple of gunshots made stupidly; feel the barrage
Like a sickening Kama Sutra, b; you don't want that massage
But when gambling for your future you'll even out all the odds
Done with apathy
the outside is something I have to see
Digging for miles into the Earth
Finding solutions and bringing the back
Drow pursuing say "Nothing is proven
"You're carrying nothing 'cause nothing is fact"
All of it got me rapidly
so apparently doubt is too fast for me
But I got something that I can believe in
'Cause L'uomo is going to climb
Over the mountains design
Destinies, all of them part of the sequence
Looking for something that's truly divine
Something that's one of a kind
You'll only encounter it naturally
but sometimes there's gonna be casualties

Stage IV: Despair
03:55
|
|||
Glass is shattering, everything seems to have unravelled
Into oblivion, farthest distance I've ever travelled
Brothers pleading for mercy after the hellish battles
How do I soldier on, all momentum's not in our favour
Haemoglobin on my tongue making a taste to savour
Taking control of all my thoughts, writing 'em down on paper
All my heroes have fallen; wondering should I follow
Or should I continue on this journey, chest cavity hollow
Taking advantage of today because there's no tomorrow
Smile upon my face; humour has desecrated me
Just a spectacle most of the time you'd pay to see
For who I am right now's certainly not the way to be
Looking right into the camera
Eyes burning, bearing the teeth, overcome with the grief
All 'cause now you're realizing what is in motion in not a plan for ya
Definition of peace shaky at least, but I'll carry ya
Shouldering the globe on my back, I'm Atlas
Nevertheless the Shepherd's gone and I can't get past it
To me the world's heartless
So full of great darkness
But everywhere I go I'm hearing it's so fantastic
I investigate my origins stemming from myth
Harrowing exegesis keeps me from being elitist
But everyday I question "What am I getting from this?"
All power has bee ceded and soon I'll be defeated
I'm specializing in capturing things I never needed
It's an insatiable hunger, my friend, you need to feed it
But now the bowl's empty
Resources once aplenty
I watch the suffering, emotions at once depleted

Stage V: Tipping Point
02:39
|
|||
Diving in the well to think
Possibly I'm on the brink
My Heart of Stone about to sink
I think that you have an issue
Looming on horizons
All those fact you gave I had to disprove
What is it your hiding?
Sooner or later I'm gonna find it, follow my assignment
(Forward progress now)
'Cause I'm never in need of your signage, moving in silence
(There's just not a sound)
Revolution in action. all my fears reduced to a fraction
Never thought that we'd be the last ones to pass on
Knowing that we fought the crown
Now everywhere I look I see that revolution's in the air
Usher in the winds of change, feel it blowing through your hair
Yes, I was frustrated and aggressive, ever felt despair
Now everywhere I look I see that revolution's in the air
Time to make the final charge
Make the final charge
Time to make the final charge
'Cause freedom is at large
So can you please show a little bit
Respect for me, not indifference
You should be wary of those
Unfairly depose
'Cause peace: we are here to win
The upper hand? We got that
So understand: can't stop that
Yeah we want back part of every contract
What you do we bomb that using every strong fact
Better turn tail run away
There's no point planning for another day
What we bring? It's gonna stay
Then we'll sing "Oh what a day"
That time comes no-one is left out
We all are on the rise and we come with the best clout
'Cause we're so thankful
All the hard work that we put in
We're using it for shutting the set down
