Yeah after dah shinin it all became clear to me
I knew things would be different son
I knew itand'd come time for a change
Seems like the time is now
Jah! rastafarai
Greetings to my soldiers and soldierettes
Jewel on the world make the earth sink
On the brink of divinity defying gravity
Reachinand' for infinity
Can he be incarcerated by the limits
Stuck they canand't function
Caught up in the scrimage
This game called life only lasts minutes
Once you in it, be in it to win it to the finish
As the sun heats, i put my feet to the concrete
Hard to sleep so i take it to the streets
Hold my head up, try to keep it movinand'
Fed up with losinand'
I need some air
I think i take a cruise with you
Iand'm using, what little know how i posess
To keep our familia down to rest
Now i stress defensive tactics
and'cause police seem active
Got me in the crib sleepinand' with heat under the mattress
In case of home intrusion:
First the dogs go andquot;barkandquot;
Then about five sparks bringinand' light to the dark
Like ? does his movement when heand's dealinand' with math
Or the boss tell his workers where heand's keepinand' the stash
When that gun blast, better have jah on your side
Or an act of devine intervention from the most high
I know guys that get a thrill from the kill
And other niggaz, who hold the greed to sling ?frills?
Chorus
Demonand's tryinand' to take my soul away
But they wonand't get my soul today
Will i get locked up or blown away?
Just stayinand' strong is a price to pay
(repeat)
Damn i havenand't worked since i was and'bout 17
They had time busy hanginand' out being a drama fiend
I had to run the streets, see what the night brought out
Sneak in the crib
Hear my moms prayinand' to god that i sprout
Take all responsibilities like a man would do
and'cause she know that the streets can bring the worst out of you
She told me concentrate on school but what i do about loot?
I wanna push the fat ride, have bitches sweatinand' me too
But you know you need dough so you can do the do
And going to class everyday dont bring in no loot
Plus i just been told that i was cold by club bouncers
Standing there hot headed bout to set it while they denounce us
Crab niggaz still beggin for cds
While brothaz careers is stuck on halt and freeze
About to face extinction ?pockets dead is thinkin?
Something aint peace and suicides part of my thinkin
Even god dont hear my prayer or him just not care
Got a son in this world, stressed out losin my hair
Chorus
Its time to take the struggle to the pavement
Let the people know the mayor sent the ok for enslavement
Orders from the government
Official stubborn men with egos runnin shit
They put the hit out on whoever try to get out
And they are the directors who are dead and ?
Even down south in atlanta
Police play the pawn for their master
Its a disaster, practicing who can kill us faster
For less than nothin like they did bobby huton
Corruption got me clutchin my rifle for gun bustin
Somethins cookin
Look at the way some faces be lookin
Cross the bank rock on to brooklyn, texas
Even in houston ps be shootin us like sitting ducks in groups
And i cant trust who or what
That will explain the way i watch you, plus,
I know the chosen are few
Many come around to proclaim things they know not
Let alone maintain
Shame, some of my worst enemies
Live right around me and look just like me
I see that its time to intensify the movements in front of my eyes
Cant rely on a seeing dog they got me
Or lay and wait for the devil to surprise me, nah g
Chorus (twice)
It only takes a line to make the mind think
Drop a jewel on the world make the earth sink
Im on the brink of divinity, defying gravity
Reaching for infinity
Plenty be incarcerated by the limits
Stuck they cant function caught up in the scrimage
This game called life only lasts minutes
Once you in it, be in it to win it till the finish
(repeat)
