Sankofa:
Got to raise your hopes up. Life you make the most of.
This is not a hoax, nah. Get your bag and load up.
Pack it for the challenges that lie ahead.
A steamroller for the speed bumps of life that often will provide the dread.
Nothing but a setback, step back and adjust your route.
If there's something you believe in, go ahead and bust it out.
Too many are reassured by their own discomfort.
Familiar confines, Stockholm syndrome. Time to puncture
dysfunction, stop that, move forth, push onward,
keep moving, do something, seek more, look, conquer
Success is the best revenge, vengeance is a desperate end.
The sick get joy from making you yet another mess for them.
Who is left it to clean it up? Ignore them, do your own thing
Why in the world would you ever want to be a clone king?
For the love of all that you love and all who love you
You’ve got to proceed, you’ve got believe, you must do
Hook:
Do you want to live or do you want to simply get by
Crawl inside your shell when life is tough enough to stress, why?
Bend the prison bars and make a catapult to fly from
Silversmiths the team of believers preach it with fly drums
JON?DOE:
Hola hijos, I done told the people, time to act correct
Eff these morals hollow as the followers of Baphomet
Truth is we part and parcel, partial larvals that connect
Marvels of a Darwin article, attracting mass effect
Startle em, they backs erect, it's time to proselytize
Spread the message, no more awkward and shy
Be impressive, don’t be chicken, we not waffle and fries
It’s simple, smell the shit? just don’t follow the flies
Weeble wobbles aside- tell em vacillators later!
The light is in their eyes- when you activate the saber
Lead by example be an active neighbor aider
Help em all get into the groove like an acetate engraver
May yer path be wondrous in its wandering discovery
I hope you find enlightenment while pondering the shrubbery
Defy preponderance with subtlety
Shatter the mold, and then behold who’s fond of singing of the love of free
Sankofa:
It's easy enough to sit aside and criticize
Acting like nobody ever went and did it right
Backseat driving up the wall with all the bitter lies
It's high time to live it right with a bit of civic pride
Enough with being passive, switch to active as a pro
The answer doesn't lie beyond you, they're just packaging it so
In the middle of the stage, make a wave that is tidal
Inspire others with your deeds and lead the new revival
JON?DOE:
Intercede on superhuman idols, stupid rivals get the bozack
Instead of worryin bout which vial you’re next to throwback
Focus on your own track, adjust and change direction
Find an audience beyond a choir who share the same perception
Take constructive criticism, be open to improvement
Citizens been broken, put some hope into the movement
Start the process inward, then expand the microcosm
Push the banner windward lead the clan that fight the problem
Started following Juga-Naut upon hearing him break down life and rap relating to Kool G Rap on Crate808 and I've been a fan since. Wordplay, skill, the dope backdrops, what's not to love? Sankofa
