<Verse 1: Issa Gold> |
| [00:12.12] |
You know what's funny? I never thought it would happen dog |
| [00:14.07] |
From smoking reefer and doing drugs in apartment halls |
| [00:17.16] |
From living depressed, trapped inside of my bedroom walls |
| [00:19.92] |
Forced to regret, karma had me gripped by my b***s |
| [00:22.66] |
Told you I was born a ******* zero |
| [00:24.31] |
The cold world filled with pop culture but lacking heroes |
| [00:27.28] |
Two paths, both of us choosing the one that's evil |
| [00:30.08] |
The other path really not shiny and gold to people |
| [00:32.91] |
So I try both |
| [00:34.49] |
Artists like Van Gogh still repping the gang though |
| [00:37.22] |
Expanding my cash flow, I have to |
| [00:39.45] |
Problem is, when the money take all control |
| [00:41.97] |
You'd rather beside your soul, than keep your mind so enclosed |
| [00:44.71] |
Then you turn on your TV loving reality shows |
| [00:47.48] |
Take it literal, vicariously living in their world |
| [00:50.04] |
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of all entertainment |
| [00:52.97] |
But you gotta be basic to believe what they be sayin' |
| [00:55.79] |
The news preach what's they favorite |
| [00:57.42] |
The music we hear, its tasteless |
| [00:58.26] |
The good shows come the latest |
| [00:59.86] |
The primetime's ******* wasted |
| [01:01.22] |
I'm trying to show you that all the things that we chase |
| [01:04.03] |
This fake shit , its cool to go obtain it, but keep innate greatness |
| [01:06.82] |
The world is a planet that's dualistic in nature |
| [01:09.78] |
The balance keep us debating |
| [01:11.23] |
Division's the devil's favorite |
| [01:12.63] |
But if we take the time to see that we are the same |
| [01:15.28] |
If we combine all the races, then we could become the greatest |
| [01:17.94] |
<Hook: Issa Gold> |
| [01:18.24] |
And that's why, if we come together through changes |
| [01:21.66] |
And that's why, they gonna keep us all separated |
| [01:24.13] |
Feed us lies, with they poison, they shit 's contagious |
| [01:26.84] |
And that's why, I be spreading love through the nation |
| [01:29.58] |
<Verse 2: AKTHESAVIOR> |
| [01:29.79] |
Music be my oasis, but pain over power, pacing |
| [01:32.03] |
Like, "Which side to choose?" |
| [01:33.27] |
My mind confused, product of figmentations |
| [01:34.74] |
So easy to hear the whispers of Satan, them demons waitin' |
| [01:37.63] |
Be easy, put on them brakes, don't be greedy |
| [01:40.33] |
Turn to the pastor, he fiendin' |
| [01:41.60] |
Now everything on the late |
| [01:42.56] |
I move according to feelings |
| [01:43.67] |
Cause that new order done caught us |
| [01:45.20] |
Try to destroy our children |
| [01:46.29] |
I sit and watch this little pot, thinking to 'Pac |
| [01:48.76] |
Speaking to God for some clearance |
| [01:50.79] |
Within these times |
| [01:51.49] |
Brought up in the trenches |
| [01:52.74] |
Stepped through the doors of perception |
| [01:53.96] |
Generation Z your destiny if we don't balance the present |
| [01:57.09] |
Every second, camera pressing |
| [01:58.65] |
Enjoy the moments you blessed with |
| [01:59.93] |
Instead of Instagram flexing, we all evolve, so don't sweat it |
| [02:01.60] |
But honestly let's do better, just take one look in the mirror |
| [02:05.45] |
We're gaining truth from the eras |
| [02:07.00] |
You live for you, not your parents |
| [02:08.38] |
Don't overdo shit , just manage |
| [02:09.99] |
No good comes without a challenge |
| [02:11.23] |
So some haters trying to scavenge cabbage |
| [02:12.71] |
Stay up on your path, you valid |
| [02:14.25] |
Take advantage of the times ahead |
| [02:15.91] |
Stay planted right then, expand |
| [02:17.36] |
Replenish the life within |
| [02:18.75] |
Remember life don't come twice |
| [02:20.21] |
So we living like its the end |
| [02:21.22] |
I gamble life on both sides |
| [02:22.78] |
Not truly I understand |
| [02:24.24] |
But **** it we all say and pretend |
| [02:25.67] |
We want to fix shit then |
| [02:27.60] |
Go pass a lone sole with no crib to live |
| [02:30.61] |
And ain't got shit to give |
| [02:31.98] |
Truth is, we all hypocrites |
| [02:33.27] |
If we gonna handle our biz, gotta change how we exist |
| [02:36.03] |
<Hook: Issa Gold> |
| [02:36.63] |
And that's why, if we come together through changes |
| [02:39.76] |
And that's why, they gonna keep us all separated |
| [02:42.17] |
Feed us lies, with they poison, they shit 's contagious |
| [02:45.09] |
And that's why, I be spreading love through the nation |
| [02:47.70] |
<Verse 3: Issa Gold> |
| [02:48.32] |
Dualism, got me trapped up in a prison |
| [02:50.19] |
Still loving my women, still counting my chickens |
| [02:52.99] |
See, I ain't that different, a nigga still caught in sinnin' |
| [02:55.84] |
I'm just on a mission to change the way I've been livin' |
| [02:58.55] |
The difference, is I'm going to keep negative out my system |
| [03:01.47] |
I'm gifted, but still a crucial part of me missing |
| [03:04.11] |
But I'm a believer that if we come to a union |
| [03:06.64] |
It'll be easy to change all of the things we've been doing |
| [03:09.45] |
Because we creatures just follow what everybody is choosing |
| [03:12.25] |
So more people who do it, is sure to make a movement |
| [03:15.20] |
And if we get into it, then nigga we not gonna lose it |
| [03:17.96] |
The kids loving the music, I think that's how we gonna do it |
| [03:20.67] |
<AKTHESAVIOR> |
| [03:21.03] |
Focused on my goals, can't change my modes |
| [03:22.84] |
So clear the way, no cape |
| [03:23.63] |
But chose to save the day, I roll the dro and then create |
| [03:26.33] |
So much older, got my dough up and my dog, he do the same |
| [03:29.07] |
Just use your brain, gain some knowledge |
| [03:30.71] |
In your noggin', you a king |
| [03:31.89] |
Pure sativa strains |
| [03:33.18] |
Play acoustic when I hang |
| [03:34.45] |
Super lucid when I dream |
| [03:35.95] |
Lucy, she my everything |
| [03:37.36] |
See I'm living freely can't deceive me cause I know my lane |
| [03:40.22] |
Gotta see things from both ways to get far up in this game, mane |
| [03:43.09] |
Shout out to the pain |
| [03:44.42] |
Always sun after the rain |
| [03:45.87] |
When you wanna look back and see all my hard workin' go to waste |
| [03:48.71] |
Leave your mark so the young can break |
| [03:50.08] |
All the limits put on our race |
| [03:51.27] |
Cause face it, we all spirits here livin' destined for greatness |
| [03:54.03] |
<Hook: Issa Gold> |
| [03:54.37] |
And that's why, if we come together through changes |
| [03:57.83] |
And that's why, they gonna keep us all separated |
| [04:00.31] |
Feed us lies, with they poison, they shit 's contagious |
| [04:03.10] |
And that's why, I be spreading love through the nation |
| [04:08.13] |
