Francois) [00:00.87] [00:07.19]We speaking scripture [00:08.20] [00:09.93]We speaking scripture [00:10.96] [00:12.38]Entering the realms [00:13.15]We speaking scripture [00:13.71] [00:14.22]The dark realm [00:14.81] [00:15.43]Taking over bringing that rawness yo [00:17.38] [00:18.31]First and Last [00:18.95] [00:19.58]We're going to war [00:20.39] [00:21.19]We paint scripture [00:22.29]We're taking them to war sun [00:23.91]One time [00:24.38] [00:24.91]We're going to war [00:25.81] [00:28.28]Drowning in the desolate dirty dank depths [00:30.87]Making moves in buildings dusty dutty rank steps [00:33.17]Banks cheques clear faster than rotten beef [00:35.21]Men who kill to eat munch a mouldy piece of pie with rotten teeth [00:38.18]Besotten sheikhs [00:38.86]Married to the cotton streets [00:40.30]Cotton money [00:40.98]Talcum powder [00:41.55]Dynasties [00:42.35]Hierarchies [00:43.14]Slug slither through marquees at parties [00:45.32]Sh*t is organised play gambits [00:47.19]We're masked bandits [00:48.15]Ducking like piranhas out of Transits [00:50.25]Spread knowledge like acid butter disintegrating bread [00:52.88]Spray education for forsaken brothers [00:54.41]Covers topics that intimidates feds [00:56.57]Makes may people resemble my dreads [00:58.33]Step inside a temple and thread [00:59.83]The future of the fibre of what every prophet stood for and said [01:02.81]Mothered by dread [01:03.69]Covered in red sweat and memories [01:05.38]That transform to similes I spray at your brain [01:07.79]I speak words that penetrate solo drops of rain [01:10.36]Ripping all the hydrogen out [01:11.86]Leaving nothing but O's [01:13.06]Oxygen inhaled fast as Jet Li in Hero [01:15.71]Makes men pronounce my name Apex Zero [01:17.79]Top of they lungs [01:18.62]Grabbing my suns [01:19.51]Climbing up with spiritual rungs [01:21.20]Constantly stung by drama [01:22.58]Arrows that can't be blocked by no armour [01:24.72]God gave Moses plagues [01:25.92]The devil gave me rage [01:27.28]Now the God inside of me is moulding it into a blade [01:30.05]Fighting the battle that's His [01:31.32]I don't ask the Most High to put a smile on my face [01:34.09]I ask for the strength to put a smile on his [01:36.13]I'm the opposite of men who sell their souls and their skins [01:38.74]To cop another rock or hit [01:40.31]People think that Gundon isn't poverty stricken [01:42.16]It is here's the proof [01:43.74]I know a brother whose family used to live on a roof [01:46.56]This is the truth that aint told 'cause it's not appealing [01:49.04]If you aint rich you stay trapped below this glass ceiling [01:51.96]So most brothers understand the pain and anger that I'm feeling [01:54.93]I'm feeling because [01:55.85]We speaking scripture [01:57.09]Use the colours of a day in real life [01:59.11]So we don't paint a pleasant picture [02:01.35]Spitting poisoned stones at the temples of our foes [02:03.69]Spitting flows [02:04.47]Ratings blow off the Richter scale [02:06.86]If you Black Brown or your skin tone is pale [02:09.45]Rise up [02:10.36]Let me see your guns fingers fly up [02:12.45]Wile out [02:13.06]Like a man just made your brother shed blood [02:15.25]Red mud covering our struggle is pollution [02:17.76]Here comes the revolution [02:19.18]My knowledge was suppressed and hostage in a world of lies [02:22.04]They didn't let me fly like an ostrich [02:24.19]So I crossed bridges [02:25.33]Experiences turn you hostile [02:26.71] [02:27.26]Experiments leave you walking in circles for miles [02:29.50]On this Earth's green fighting over grass [02:31.69]But you're looking to kill the ones who snitch your name [02:34.13]There's some walking 'round with no shame [02:35.63]So we battle on fists clenched [02:37.25]Hip Hop was calling like a bird [02:38.98]And I heard and composed verbs [02:40.93]And as this ball turns [02:42.17]Lessons that we learn get harder [02:43.83]In the name of the Son Ghost [02:45.35]'Cause you never had the father [02:46.70]I'm either hearing great lies through the grapevine [02:49.02]Or certain royals are snorting lines [02:51.00]Whilst others are inside [02:52.14]So how can they define [02:53.65]That governments get a cut of mankind [02:55.63]When they're just masters of legal crime [02:57.40]And every day the sunrises [02:59.04]There's new ideas [03:00.24]And new surprises [03:01.31]And new criseses [03:02.25] [03:02.94]There's more than three blind mice [03:04.51]Chasing after the farmers wife [03:06.07]And I'm not one I'm just seeking to find inner peace [03:08.51]I'm just dodging police on a regular basis [03:10.88]And surviving in this urban grind [03:12.78]Records make it hard to get a 5 to 9 [03:15.10]But the concrete road's there all the time [03:17.09]And resorting to getting your own funds [03:19.20]Own grade to bun [03:20.27]And go higher into the secular [03:21.54] [03:22.07]Be heedful [03:22.84]Not a w**d fool [03:23.92]'Cause there's cameras there inspecting us [03:25.64]Going on like their protecting us [03:27.55]They're leaking out gasses [03:28.78]In their weapons of masses [03:30.09]Corrupting existence [03:31.06]So it's time to be vigilant [03:32.44] [03:32.94]Or soon we'll be extinct [03:34.30]Or that can happen if the Almighty blinks [03:36.78]And gets fed up of what he thinks [03:38.53]We know a lot but our intelligence is limited [03:41.06]It's prohibited [03:42.02]The explanation the scientists give [03:43.84]Could be fibs [03:44.76]'Cause no one knows why we live or exist [03:46.76]We speaking scripture [03:47.58]Use the colours of a day in real life [03:49.58]So we don't paint a pleasant picture [03:51.24] [03:51.76]Spitting poisoned stones at the temples of our foes [03:54.19]Spitting flows [03:54.68]Ratings blow off the Richter scale [03:56.90]If you Black Brown or your skin tone is pale [03:59.83]Rise up [04:00.69]Let me see your guns fingers fly up [04:02.74]Wile out [04:03.27]Like a man just made your brother shed blood [04:05.54]Red mud covering our struggle is pollution [04:08.04]Here comes the revolution [04:09.06]Scripture [04:09.58]Use the colours of a day in real life [04:11.69]So we don't paint a pleasant picture [04:13.58]Spitting poisoned stones at the temples of our foes [04:16.30]Spitting flows [04:16.87]Ratings blow off the Richter scale [04:19.30]If you Black Brown or your skin tone is pale [04:21.74]Rise up [04:22.74]Let me see your guns fingers fly up [04:24.81]Wile out [04:25.53]Like a man just made your brother shed blood [04:27.51]Red mud covering our struggle is pollution [04:30.12]Here comes the revolution
