[Intro: Toni Hill]

Thy will be done

Done


[Verse 1: IAME]

Every time the frost bites it draws new blood

Went from dry to moist in this Kamasutra

It suits ya

Roll with constrict, loads of conflict theory

Look through the eyes of the weary

Remove that baggage

No refuge, no address

See them all the time and they usually addicts

But so am I, what have we established?

Is it just choice or poison?

A social fabric that decides who's disadvantaged

Who sets the standard?

Is it God's will?

Well, it depends on how you spin it

Do you now feel an omnipresence?

Therе were souls beforе there were religions

There was God before space, pay attention

[Hook: IAME + Toni Hill]

This all relates to you and me

Life and death in this ball that spins 'round

Swift is the pace of doom

[?] respect what this rhyme's wanting now

Now the time has come

Thy will be done


[Verse 2: IAME]

Old man, grey in the face

Clouds in his eyes, slump in his posture

Carboard sign, quarters and dimes

Prosperous finds, free cigarettes and cheap drugs

He's tweaking and such, speaking to himself

It's better than him speaking to you (Right?)

Across the street you move

And now a different old man is preaching to you

With that Jesus truth

But in these streets truth and diseases, to each his own

Like a fiend that shoots into the vein

She chooses no piece of the peace she knows

It's a blissful state, it lifts the weight

She can't support, that's before she asphyxiates

Hits the asphalt, it's no mistake she was asking for it

The risk inherent, traits inherited from both sets of parents

(Including) abuse and addiction

Now she gets hit by her dude, but she sticks with him (Bitch)

Cuts herself with the sharpest knife in the kitchen

Wraps her arm tight and puts the syringe in

If it feels good, she binges on it until it floods her engine

Listen

[Hook: IAME + Toni Hill]

This all relates to you and me

Life and death in this ball that spins 'round

Swift is the pace of doom

[?] respect what this rhyme's wanting now

Now the time has come

Thy will be done


[Bridge: IAME + Toni Hill]

We always looking where to point the finger at

And fighting over what we think is right

We start looking at ourselves too much we ask

Exactly what it is we trying to fight

And we've no clue, all we have is

Enough gas to drive us to the brink of madness

Make sure your seatbelt's fastened


[Verse 3: IAME + Toni Hill]

We could crash any second, we crabs in a bucket

We treat life like a craps table, fuck it

Daddy needs some new lungs, but he'll settle for kicks

Sleep when the cookie crumbles, you answer with chips

Things like Nestle quick to change up

When fate calls upon you like Dr. Strangelove

Will you accept the call or just hang up?

(Let it go to voicemail)

I won't let me voice fail

For the voiceless and frail, for those in a cell

(Who else?)

Lost boys and girls with stories to tell

Silent in a system they held until now

Now the time has come

Thy will be done

This a return, it's no second coming

Frankly, I'm thankful another second even came

So, I'll stay out your debate

You can fight all you want over science and faith

Make your biased claims

And we've no clue, all we have is

Our trespasses, our daily bread

Some beg for scraps, some stay well fed

[Bridge: IAME + Toni Hill]

We're always looking where to point the finger at

We fight just because they taught us how

We start to look outside ourselves and ask

Exactly what it is we're fighting now

Now the time has come

Thy will be done


[Interlude: IAME]

Faith, science, physics, religions, idols, your highness

Why can't I be Christ on a good day?

Why can't he return through our sacrifices?

And through the word we can access transcendence

I stand before you, my disciples

This might be blasphemous to those who seek absolute objective truth

This is no such pursuit

This is more vital, an extremist with assault riffles ready to shoot

In the midst of these rivalries, the secular society tempts fate

I sense impending doom and irony too

How can there be atheism without theism?

How can you deny what's already denied you?

And there is nothing more beautiful than the mystic, the ineffable

See I am at peace with the idea there are some truths that I will never know

I am just one thing, but I am many things

God is nothing, God is everything

(Just a word)

And all I'm trying to communicate

Is you do not know, so don't pretend, okay?


[Refrain]

They said make believe

They won't make you believe

You can't save my soul

I've got to save my own

This cross I bear, this road I'm on my way

May I live to see another day?

I pray


[Verse 3: IAME]

It should be clear by now I ain't on my dumbed down (nope)

I ain't on my get green, grind, greedy

I'm on my go green, eco-friendly

I'm on my inner battle

On my curb the ego and be tactful

Still get on that emo and aggro

I don't load the heat up with ammo

I listen to rappers trying to lead by example

They haven't led me to be who I can though

Every day in the hood, yea, that's where I stay

I see dope boys flossing so carelessly

I want the cars that they drive and the kicks

I don't care about the diamonds or the hoes, I ain't Ice Berg

But I want the 401K of a corporate exec

I'll leave the city, buy a home on the outskirts

Secure, legitimate peace of mind

We do dirt 'til we rest in it

But what it's worth to the children we leave behind

Will define what influence we have

For now I stay buying what they selling

As they replenish my vices, they killing me with a license

This is my execution (Die vicariously)

This is my expression, experience


[Refrain]

They said make believe

They won't make you believe

You can't save my soul

I've got to save my own

This cross I bear, this road I'm on my way

May I live to see another day?

I pray
