lyrics

Sankofa

Finding the lock of life and I’m applying the keys
Trying to see what works within the sight of disease
Fighting with thieves for idols and titles
A mindful retreat
Revivalist creeds providing some kind of relief
The trouble being I’m minus belief
Other than friends and the plight of the meek
So the journey is made, a drop of blood on eternity’s blade
I’m fighting the beast
Say sure to behave where civil is the latest shackle
Mercy we seek
But murderous dirges are climbing the charts
Immersed in the works that decided the start
A versatile person that’s tied to the art
Original sin in the mightiest heart
A digital grimace it might be a shark
Some fiction admitted with guidance and charts
A race to the finish, pacing with bait and hate is admitted
So find me an ark
Surprisingly dark a man and the myth that he blissfully made
Human rubble wishing epiphany stayed
But history’s made by the victors who script with the wickedest blade
Assisted brigades
I stay with resistance persist and remain to admit it’s draining
And painted with bitterness
Bits of the brush that are caught in the paint
A canvas supplanted with sovereign states
Strokes of the brush that have toasted to us, and have broken the crutch
On the road to the crushed
Where the dead of vendettas are roasted to dust
A pessimist left with a note to the hushed



JON?DOE

Lost to magic chopping the hatchets, heads of the opps gettin dropped in a basket
Last on the list of a docket of bastards
Vernacular cocked and it's locking the casket
Talkin that wack isht got u a spot on that blacklist, we be concocting them classics
Kofa and I with the coldest of eyes when we scoping these guys who be clocking the tactics
Jockin the 'tastic comma fan when we on the stand we the bombest man
Hope u unnastand just don't wanna jam, this is Son of Sam when he's cooking it back, click
Blaow! Right thru the passenger window we smashing ya kinfolk them laughing again tho
We know that it shouldn't be happ'nin we slappin a menso lacking the je ne
Say quoi, this Santana and Hey Ma they smashing a rental
Claim that they poppin the lead but they crackin a pencil, clearly don't have the utensil
After the intro attacking the instru-mental, we channel their lack of essentials
Funnel the sheer disdain for anything plain, it's a game where we stacking credentials
Wrapping the tendrils around and around, drownin the sound in a circular motion
Flushin the toilet we rush in and spoil, if it doesn't uncoil then the serpents a quotient
Of certain commotion, it's curtains for those when we servin the quotes with a fervor that's potent
Yo love is like murder and hope when it's mingled together, inserted by Serf into dope then
These burgeoning bros been rockin again, we droppin the gems that deserve your devotion
Further the notion we still here, sayin hell yeah, we up first but we closin
