Roll With It

from Mystery Album​?​?​? by Sankofa

lyrics

Empty the dishwasher, just to load it again
play a beat tape and come up with a quotable gem
bring that beat back, never let it go to the end
inspired by my life is what I'm hoping to send
the door seemed locked, but now it's open again
before your knees knock, best to set the vocals to ten
reaching zen with my pen and no emotion to spend
trying to stay balanced my challenge, let that dopeness begin
how was drinking okay but somehow toking is sin?
and I don't even smoke, but that’s a motive to them
A line they shift whenever it is inconvenient
Liberty for them, I guess for us it’s disobedience
So we follow rules they break upon a daily basis
And if we mess up, we’re done, but that’s the wage of hatred
We may have made it if we trod upon an equal earth
But fear has the people scared that equal equals even worse

sometimes growth comes at the price of moving on
leaving those familiar things behind remove the bond
No need to prove them wrong, just prove yourself right
do what's best for you with measured moves conducive to flight
take the journey to even if you don't know where it ends
Don't break, yet prepare to bend and there is zen
Rotate the situation, then prepare again
we are the making of believe indeed the share is spent
A world that we create and find the ways to keep at bay
All the evil traits, leeching souls to eat away
Recognize what I can do when trying to right wrongs
Serenity prayer as my atheist fight song
So better prepare for the things that you can do
And let the rest go, cutting bait is the plan soon
Don’t let someone else define what your success is
Find what matters most to you and that’s the message
