[00:01.89]Verse 1: Akin
[00:09.00]I'm passing God's conception
[00:10.37]Approaching near the land deception
[00:11.79]Adjust the mirror, in my rearview I see reflection
[00:14.36]At times my highzways lead to bleak direction
[00:16.71]So I seek confession speaking to beats
[00:18.88]I call it resurrection cause I got my soul back
[00:21.42]Some call me pro black
[00:22.65]Really I'm just playing my part I could've sold crack
[00:25.07]It's not for me
[00:26.11]My old man thought of prophecy
[00:27.92]Kwame Nkrumah's vision live in my odyssey for real
[00:31.13]But not your Homer in Greek mythology
[00:32.68]Akin devise schemes to conquer this trickology
[00:35.49]The time is now to forsake the faking
[00:38.16]I'm freedom in the making
[00:39.14]God's kitchen chef rock a frigid apron
[00:40.87]Ayo, For 400 years we shed tears
[00:42.87]And when it's death among peers we pour beers
[00:45.22]But now what?
[00:46.40]Look what the world made me, enslaved me
[00:48.70]But at the end what the **** is gonna save me?
[00:51.35]Ayo, For 400 years we shed tears
[00:54.07]And when it's death among peers we pour beers
[00:55.94]But now what?
[00:57.04]Look what the world made me, enslaved me
[00:59.22]But at the end what the **** is gonna save me?
[01:01.44]Verse 2: Cise Starr
[01:02.19]My pulse quickening as my heart became a simile
[01:04.60]I drift into the reaches of self, I felt panicky
[01:07.38]Hoping for anarchy, liberation from this insanity
[01:10.04]Tears running down my cheek hit the canopy
[01:12.71]Wall of self doubt, shout scream and wail
[01:15.24]At the pain coursing through my being I'm in a hell of thought
[01:18.08]Caught between a rock and hard place
[01:20.51]My personal space violated catching a case
[01:23.12]I can even taste the bittersweet smell of defeat
[01:25.53]I’m feeling the heat of blood running down in the street
[01:28.20]Then look where I stand
[01:30.11]My shadow is the trace of a man
[01:30.92]That endured the hardships, formulating a plan
[01:34.11]Ayo, For 400 years we shed tears
[01:36.17]And when it's death among peers we pour beers
[01:38.52]But now what?
[01:39.63]Look what the world made me, enslaved me
[01:41.74]But at the end what the **** is gonna save me?
[01:44.53]Ayo, For 400 years we shed tears
[01:46.63]And when it's death among peers we pour beers
[01:49.04]But now what?
[01:49.97]Look what the world made me, enslaved me
[01:52.26]But at the end what the **** is gonna save me?
[01:54.61]Verse 3: Akin
[01:55.30]System ridiculous they fabricate lies now I'm sick of this
[01:57.96]Like people with syphilis still trying to cripple this will
[02:00.93]Revolution rap attack Pope Nicholas, chill, don't ever tell me that
[02:04.66]Lies, they try to sell me that
[02:06.02]I can't afford it
[02:07.06]Your evolution get aborted
[02:08.49]Let it be known I don't condone thrones in Rome
[02:10.97]Call it prejudice, I sever this mic with a poem
[02:13.50]Folks will hate to see this and mercenaries out for Jesus
[02:16.53]Live from the pearly white gates about to squeeze
[02:19.13]Is godly bad? Confederate flags I'm held hostage
[02:21.91]No forty acres and mule abused profits
[02:24.52]No forty acres and mule abused profits
[02:26.91]Verse 4: Cise Starr
[02:27.35]I’m breaking these shackles they got me chained away from my liberty
[02:29.95]Look at the history how they treated us through the centuries
[02:32.55]Like inanimate animals only given annual holidays
[02:35.22]Representin' hardships we endure today
[02:38.20]That’s not enough
[02:39.21]What the **** we getting comfortable now
[02:40.89]Looking like clowns while industry is taking our crowns
[02:43.68]And tarnishing our soul
[02:44.79]Trading our worth for platinum and gold
[02:47.03]Our souls are undersold, for what?
[02:48.94]Semiprecious pieces of metal value changing with time
[02:51.97]Open your eyes we need to rise
[02:54.45]Open your eyes we need to rise
[02:57.05]Open your eyes we need to rise
[03:03.62]"The mere possession of knowledge is not enough;
[03:06.60]It is the ability to use knowledge that matters."
