[Hook]

Sometimes it feels like we’ve been through so much

The ups, the downs, the ins and the outs of us

I can’t forget all the ways that you made my body feel

But in the end was it really worth the risk


[Verse 1]

I’m ridin' up my scope tryna find a way scornin' hope

It’s so cold, movin' back slightly losin' my entirety

In need of the truth to fortify what I have inside my mind

In search for the strife to guide my insight

Inside bleeds, I intercede with revolution I render thee

Either they hire me or they fire me, but that won’t tire me

I walk through the fire seek desire keeps through it higher

Being a flier, my feathers never retire, rather retire leech entirely

A Trier speaks for all the lesser stretching hands for redemption feet

Knowin' it can drag ‘em off this maltreatment and burdens

Mandate by their evils we’re lost by the mornin'

Now I’m mournin', gapin' from the shock

I can’t stand my faith, I’m holdin'

Neck bendin' forward stretch with a small intake of breath

Eyes turnin' down blue thought hastenin' to stand under

Nothin'’s avail, frail, face all lookin' pale, face all livin' hell

I’m proudly lookin' pallid demandin' those with voice can reveal

But they rather in stance behind they ego

And paralyze us with they mega lies

Forever’ll despise what lies in front of our eyes

Reverse audio

Spotify: get the fuck outta my sight nigga I gotta see

[Verse 2]

Damn, I feel like a dark sheep in a not so fairly world

Clearly, this dearie journey had just embarked us to whirled

In our nature so cruel

If only we knew well –ways in which the rapture can dwell in our now endeavours

We’ll still not excel or propel through the highest height

Despite the fight of these parasites that hide inside of our minds

You either slide on the wave or reside in the curse (curse, curse)

Or tersely revive from the pain and live with the worst

Either way, a lesser holds the L

Long laud the lastin' lark of livin' life lavishly

Patency the enemy to the evils that befriended me

These guns are my crutch that works me through homicide

Too sad, two sides, runnin' through tides

Blue-masked pursuin' the truth how? – guess you knew why

Riffle and bibles, enemies and rivals, trials and denials

Sirens and idols, nothin' seems to guide us

Believe or stop believin' – that’s the question get ask on the daily

See my brethren can barely cope to what we have today

Seeking a hideaway from these nemeses, killin' us for our own premises

For what the problem is our soul

When are we to get our missions accomplish – know root

As we standin' on faith, pressin' on repress

Oppression that profess the stress that my hindsight couldn’t reflect

Said we down for all our kinfolks who dearly spoke

In days when the distress was fixed to the agony

Laxity that lacks the empathy that stitch to our blindly scope

All they had was faith and a dream, that we all can live happily as a team

Happily, as we breathe pause…

[Interlude: A County Sheriff & Pious]

All these growing pains

Get your hands out now

All these growing pains

Get your hands out

Get you...

Get ‘em out gunshot

Shot fired, shot fired

Get me medical here now…

[Outro]

Do all lives matter?

If you’ve asked me if all lives have intrinsic value

If all lives are valuable, if all lives are worthy

I would’ve said hell yes and would’ve been the first one in my chair

All lives matter is a specific phrase similar to blue lives matter and anything else that matter after Black lives works claim to have mattered to detract, to appropriate, to subvert the message in the framing, in the narrative that been brought to us by the black lives matter movement

So, I don’t think anybody here in this room thinks that any life is less worthy than another

But the phrase “All Lives Matter” was derived from Black lives matter to subvert black lives matter and I won’t come here and sit down and say that’s okay
