lyrics

I hope my message doesn’t fade with the music
See, for me this ain’t a game for amusement
Naw, my aim is a movement towards finding bliss
Extend a helping hand - no iron fist
True life soldiers are what I enlist
Simple guys who sympathize
And my eye is fixed on my destination
Them dark clouds are thick but I’m meant to face ‘em
Prayer and poetry will be both my umbrella and my restoration
Thankful for the gift that I’m blessed with patience
See, the fruits of my efforts don’t grow on trees
If I refuse to follow through, then so long dreams
My soul wants ease but yet it also wants to see results
I guess finding that balance is just part of being adults
It’s hard work - feeling like I’ll grind my body to a pulp
I wonder, will the guidance of my father be enough
When the honesty and trust in this world is at a minimum?
We hate our neighbours with words that belittle them
Instead of passing down blessings and life lessons
It’s our pain and our problems that we hurl at the little ones
And it’s far too heavy to catch
And it’s far too heavy to catch
We leave ‘em open to the enemy’s wrath and deadly attacks
And when their spirit’s broken, how we remedy that?
Most of us never react
We stay too.. severed, detached from the world by how selfish we act
Seeking our own gain
Reaching our goals, aims, dough, fame, gold chains
I’m thinking that the whole thing’s backwards
Quit thinking ‘bout “what’s in it for me”
I’m thinking ‘bout a man who was committed to be
Executed innocently and did it for free
Claiming the cost of even those who didn’t believe
And that’s the person that I wanna display
Living selflessly and helpin’ see an age of change upon us today
‘Cause look, the current damage is not beyond fixable
These vital signs are not beyond critical
And these fire rhymes are hot beyond trivial talk
We on a spiritual walk - these songs pivotal
For raising consciousness, to gain responsiveness, faith and confidence
That this message will not fade with the music
