lyrics

Verse 1

We fight for the sake of a future not ours
See we work 40 hours,
Just to line every pocket as,
Paper mean power that will never grow sour
So we think,
But this lands made from honey and milk,
Built with silk from the sinew of our,
Will to continue to,
Bleed for this land so make peace with that hand,
That built shit, for your dreams you saved up for,
Til you done for,
So matter
To self, not to wealth,
For the labor of love’s really worth it,
We’re perfectly flawed
In awe of destruction we aimlessly cause,
And wonder to pause when there’s someone in need now
Plant that seed and concede that we’re built on regret and
Forget them limitation society has set
for your mind id that step a road less traveled,
Like the tower of babel we riase as we fall so…

We rise as we fall
We die as we crawl
We give it our all

(x4)

spoken word

the sky & ocean
brother and sister
meet at the horizon to speak about why people pout
when such a place they before them,
a land forsaken by the many who forget its name,
who spread blame with hot knifes over oil slicks and human shit,
fed to our indentured orange jumpsuits with numbers for names,
you see they were people before the system failed them,
and raised your profit margin,
like the nigga jargon you cop for them likes,
you see
the sky and ocean
brother and sister
meet at the horizon to speak about why people pout
when the water runs clean and they dream about bullshit,
not if they can make it through the night alright,
you see the sky and ocean
brother and sister
meet at the horizon to speak about why people pout,
when such a place they before them…
when such a place they before us.
