(Verse 1)
Take a look how I came up
came a long way from "Mario put that game up!"
I still ain't changed up
More like Evolved
they're breaking spiritual laws
critical cases to solve
Started getting involved
coming outta my shell
around these crabs in a barrel
where only one can prevail
"Oh, you deep Blew!"
See this what my center entails
perseverance
interference tell us winners will fail
Oh well!
Was lost in the system
playing victim
no reflection on the surface of their prism
mirrors constantly dissed him
I fixed them
Shattered glass
fragments of a past I never supposed to surpass
fighting while holding me back
Don't get lost in translation..
David roughing it - GIANT disruptions
temptation cuffing
This nation of corruption
Turbo Speeding towards destruction
Needing renovations
can't afford basic construction
Foundation's rusting
found a better builder I could trust in
Architects Of Percussion
Just in!
Return of The Musical Protectors
no funeral investors
You don't know the treasures that we had to reject
peace of mind stuck in debt
death signature on checks
Yo, protect ya neck!
Bloodsuckers out on the prowl
ref ignoring their fouls
Don't throw in the towel!!!
[Chorus]
Had to make a cleanse
life was getting outta hand
Future in my lens
tryna be an honest man
And make it to The Promised Land
fam
A state of mind few will understand
ran
From the ruins of a past I don't choose to recant
devil wanna dance
I REFUSE YOUR ADVANCE!!!
My views on The Promise Land
land
A state of mind The Conscious understand
stand!
(Verse 2)
Or you fall installing resolve
old world, lost in it's flaws
While halting the call
past sorrows pausing your cause
Was the fall of man necessary?
Get back up, blow off dust
then adjust
Current plans Legendary!
So I thought...
Wasn't in His will at the time
Turbo Speed!
NOPE!!
Crossing guard - yield signs
Got my hopes up, only to be let down
idle American
judging who got the best sound
That shouldn't matter when there's minds on a platter
'Food For Thought'
most of their rhymes combined chatter
ain't tryna hear it!
Focused on my spirit
feeling like I'm J. Cole
They won't let us grow
know some fear it
Lyrics take hold of mind, body, & Soul
so I dub nonsense
Dreamers never sleep on a beat
we're subconscious!
Awake to bass lines
fate takes time
musical therapy, clarity
I embrace mines
Leaving the trauma behind
sublime invigoration
Divine demonstration
realign our generation through regeneration
Patiently searching for a Light - until you're blinded
narrow is the path to Life, but few find it
Road to destruction provided is widened
Spiritually misguided
Took a different route
came with doubt
FAR FROM PERFECT
but our Destination was worth it!
[Chorus]
Had to make a cleanse
life was getting outta hand
Future in my lens
tryna be an honest man
And make it to The Promised Land
fam
A state of mind few will understand
ran
From the ruins of a past I don't choose to recant
devil wanna dance
I REFUSE YOUR ADVANCE!!!
My views on The Promise Land
land
A state of mind The Conscious understand
stand!
