[Verse 1: Cise Star]

Spanish

Fly line for line as I’m ripping the rhyme. Precise

Styles and Akin Yai now, we be the CYNE, showing

You hope out of life’s slippery slopes

Adolescent teens turn from God and raise coke—that ain’t

The answer. Stress of the world giving me cancer

But fuck that. Moving through streets like Black Panther

The world stands still, black youth living in landfill

No way to pay the bill so it’s now kill or be killed

But that mind state is irate, raising up all the crime rates

We need to sit back, let the mind revelate

Regulate hate of self and get immaculate wealth

Releasing your delf, pull that knowledge off of the shelf ‘cause

[Hook: Cise Star] (x2)

Life ain’t no crystal stair, we’re just here

Ignorance is on the rise and niggas just don’t care

Ain’t fair how we living, money is just spending

We need to slow down and meditate for a minute


[Verse 2: Akin]

I let

My light beam, dodging and weaving life’s scheme. Meet

The mic fiend—I’m assassinating pipedreams, hunger

For war. A revolution’s at your door. “When

Can we all just get along?” sounds boring

We want freedom, real freedom, that’s all there

For one, me and my comrades, we’re here to blast off. My shots

Echo, echo, echo, echo

Echo. I’m bringing it back like retro

‘Cause centuries of memories I can’t let go

Most of y’all heard of us, the Jim Crow murderers

Black activist with a black active fist

Ignorant fools catch a back slap and fist

It’s been a long time, CYNE, we shouldn't have left you

You’re without a conscious rhyme to step to

Just pop it in your Sony and all Babylonians

Behold this son of a gun that’s not phony and

[Hook: Cise Star] (x2)

Life ain’t no crystal stair, we’re just here

Ignorance is on the rise and niggas just don’t care

Ain’t fair how we living, money is just spending

We need to slow down and meditate for a minute


[Verse 3: Cise Star and Akin Yai]


[Cise Star]

As I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I side-

-step ‘cause you never know when your time is next, so

I’ll calculate my thoughts and put ‘em on cassette

So my future seeds can hear me on tracks I bless. Nevertheless

I’ll progress against darkness

A one-man army without the use of technology

Quite possibly, my words spawn philosophy

But philosophical thoughts scheme and can’t follow me


[Akin]

Nothing’s pretty and Akin spread love without Hasideans

Westerners are trying to be God like Branch Davidians

I can’t respect that. My mind just neglect that

Bullshit. I’ll bring this fist with the full clip

I can’t tire. With God, I plan higher

I started civil war, Confederates catch fire ‘cause


[Interlude]

It’s a cold world. This is a paradise, boy

[Hook: Cise Star] (x2)

Life ain’t no crystal stair, we’re just here

Ignorance is on the rise and niggas just don’t care

Ain’t fair how we living, money is just spending

We need to slow down and meditate for a minute
