lyrics

Verse 1:
You know I like to get my sole on/been doin this since I was sold on/plantations with my soul gone/now hold on/transferin/praises to my currents/thoughts to my whole home/so long to any infiltrators/infidels who trade us/recreated a language/we created this English/anglo-saxons angst,/song sangs through our anguish/our aim is/communicate via holy codes/afro-asiatic/nilo-saharan holy ghost/comatose/the world place me in a drunken state/tongues I now debate/is it real or fake /these states of a/with the recent stakes/ready to burn us/for conversing with our racial mates/most of these issues don’t concer u/still screamin hate/this lightness in my skin never screamed rape/pardon the illiterati/these psalms ascended from/my palms from me to yours/cd’s to bangin on doors/transatlantic thru shores/whores to queen pens/auctionees to men/drayton jr to flav/to niggas beatin up b*tches/and getting paid
Chorus:
When we write/where we going.our holy texts are being written this moment/I’ll describe this life thru my involvement/these memories all we got (got, got, got)/these memories all we got
Verse 2:
iLliteri Magi/status achievement/had I put my/earnest in what I believe in/dialectic schemes/P.I. seized/who /will/relay/the/message to these/runnin third leg/bendin the curve/lean 30 degrees/ forehead exposed/glands exposed/all liquid different roles/ori-gin and jews/only concerned/with cheek structural bones/where the creeks lie/sprung from tears of defeat ducts/or sweat budding bubbled from spears of our meek/we all fighters/papers ripped up/hogged tied em/coercion/conversion/then leaked like nouveau ex virgins/no JD/my records release/EPMD without eric sermon on the beat/never sweet/sow and ye shall reap/my mind finds diamonds/time ends sin/and we move forward relative/they fear absolute truth/this is my give
Chorus:
When we write/where we going.our holy texts are being written this moment/I’ll describe this life thru my involvement/these memories all we got (got, got, got)/these memories all we got
Verse 3:
I shall remember to acknowledge my predecessors/presdestined to neva let ya/down like chris/this bottomless pit/somehow we climb out of it/with no plateau or chair to sit/yet we bare our souls like this/rhythm rhythm /gun shots/pain/sedative/ Ritalin/rid them/of what was sane/build us a prison/India shawn’s brand new world/what I envension/mistress to mr. huxely /no lust intent/we walk together through Christ/musically inclined/we climbed with clever tales of life/eras even through terror/stagnated levels of plight/my flight aint your fight/your love aint my life/our journey and plain sight/yea it is to write/express what they might/if they could only see the light/we expand and blaze/a trail like Sherman/oh Atlanta is burning/feel the heat on our bare soles/praise for purpose
