We forgot the hidden truth we started as vegans My people were peaceful until cars of policemen began Marrin' the precinct with all their warrants and beatings That's the obvious reason why the martyrs is bleedin' And yet we continue cryin' out to God and we're pleadin' But the simple truth is evident we aren't recievin' Any help then they yell "you're just godless and heathens!" And to top it off they market us the mark of the beast then they wonder Why we look like Gomorrah and Sodom indecent I'm sorry that I'm speakin' like I harbor a grievance But it's hard to believe that we're just robbers and thieves and con Artists competin' for economic achievement I'm tryina inspire us to look farther and reach it – let’s move!

Intro So long as we’re made to think of death as a bad thing, we can be ruled Verse 1 In the battle of good and evil the war is over Before the soldiers even deployed leavin' them boys Beaten, destroyed I'm pleased to enjoy stickin' my head inside The devil's mouth and right there is where I'll settle down So shoot me - you can't harm me with slugs I'm a soldier for peace in the army of love - my grave already dug The slain Lamb who remains standin' Though I may die a thousand deaths, I ain't panickin' Standin' in on the front lines ready to die I can feel the Death stares of enemy spies if I return healthy, alive Then I failed in my mission - rather be dead than Stale and indifferent I won't worry what gets me by To die at twenty five and be buried at sixty five I'll offer a hundred otherwise let my mother cry tell my Daughters I love 'em let wifey know they slaughtered her husband I won't bother with nothin' 'less I'm a martyr for somethin' Chorus (Victory) Through the blood, through the sweat, through the tears I know through it all that I'ma persevere (Triumph) Through the pain, through the fights, through the fear I know through it all that I'ma persevere (Overcome) Through the days, through the months, through the years I know through it all that I'ma persevere (Conquer) Through the blood, through the sweat, through the tears I know for this glory my suffering don't compare Verse Two Put me in the mortuary prepare my corpse to bury I'll forfeit everything to overcome the ordinary I'm better in pain shackled by these fetters and chains Anything left to say's for the letters engraved On my tomb stone my platoon knows my dyin' wishes if I Decide to risk it I'm goin' in unhindered the rest of ya'll Can run timid and pray for ya kingdom to come Hither – me? I'll be buildin' a movement with militants Troopin' - willin' to prove it without the killin' and shootin' Not concerned about who's the illest to do it We all one transcendin' fall from our original blessin' Meaning wherever there's limits you stretch 'em Until you reach the pinnacle press in and keep forward Monks on the hunt fastin' and meditatin' on street corners The Ghetto Abbot losing only to win's the weapon Through the calm silence of nonviolent insurrection Chorus (Victory) Through the blood, through the sweat, through the tears I know through it all that I'ma persevere (Triumph) Through the pain, through the fights, through the fear I know through it all that I'ma persevere (Overcome) Through the days, through the months, through the years I know through it all that I'ma persevere (Conquer) Through the blood, through the sweat, through the tears I know for this glory my suffering don't compare Verse Three Through patient endurance we orchestrate A different course to take triumphing over the force of hate So let 'em have all the money, power, respect We'll shrivel to nothingness and won't cower or fret without a regret The louder it gets the softer I speak Offer a cheek to the butcher as he slaughters the sheep To give away your life's a virtue of only the freed They figured they would bury us but didn't know we were seeds So we will bleed with the love of a father as they dug us in farther The soil's fertile by the blood of the martyrs We facin' a wretched death so the world can taste life Cuz we've already unearthed that pearl of great price Expanded consciousness can accomplish this higher the self But to reach heaven gotta endure the fires of hell I'm inspired to fail that's how we go farther I will resurrect three days after my ego's martyred I'm ready Chorus (Victory) Through the blood, through the sweat, through the tears I know through it all that I'ma persevere (Triumph) Through the pain, through the fights, through the fear I know through it all that I'ma persevere (Overcome) Through the days, through the months, through the years I know through it all that I'ma persevere (Conquer) Through the blood, through the sweat, through the tears I know for this glory my suffering don't compare Outro Death is as positive as birth, and as such, should be a matter for rejoicing Because death is the symbol of the liberation “I pray that death will not come and fine me unannihilated” In other words, that man dies happy, if there is no one to die The ego has disappeared before death caught up with it

Was it me? Was it meant to be? Was it all free will? Was it destiny?

Chorus (iNFLiKT) (Forgive me!) For the times that I wasn't bein' true (Forgive me!) I was blind and just wasn't seein' you (I'm sorry!) I was tied in a bind and was tryin' but my mind Couldn't find what all this was leadin' to (2x) Verse 1 (iNFLiKT) I apologize for all of my eloquently polished lies Scrubbed 'em with varnish for the gloss and shine That caught ya eye and you bought 'em like I thought you'd buy 'em Hook, line and sinker but didn't think I'd be haunted by How everything we worked for was tossed aside but to be Honest I never wanted my soul becoming fossilized All that I want is somewhere to crawl and die - can we fix this? Or do I even have the gall to try? Am I tryina reconcile with you or make amends with my conscience? Unable to see the root issue that stems from our conflict Now all that I talk is regarded as senseless illogical My myopic views made me so offensive obnoxious Abusing your generosity I'd lend from your pocket But we'll say I'm delusional and pretend I've been honest Just misguided but if I did then will this nonsense Ever end? I can't even remember when it had started Chorus (iNFLiKT) (Forgive me!) For the times that I wasn't bein' true (Forgive me!) I was blind and just wasn't seein' you (I'm sorry!)

Aiyyo I’m so fuckin’ sick of this life that I’ve been livin’ Grief stricken, this bullshit hand that I’ve been dealt and given I’m smellin’ prison cuz I stink as a citizen Pissin’ all over my visions – my goddamn ambitions! Why can’t I pay attention? Why can’t I listen? Why can’t I stop bitchin’? Why ain’t I got a pot to piss in? I’ve got this chip on my shoulder; I’m pissed off I’ve lost all control of my thoughts; I’m fallin’ apart My babies don’t know the fight their daddy has fought But they’ll bear the cross of their father’s sins if shit isn’t tossed I’ve paid a high cost and I’ve lost a lot of time From my biological clock; life is way too short But it ain’t too late to change my life’s course Get right to the source of my misfortunes Bite its ugly head off Why can’t I stop singin’ this same sad song?! I wish that I could say that all my bad habits are gone Chorus (iNFLiKT) (Forgive me!) For the times that I wasn't bein' true (Forgive me!) I was blind and just wasn't seein' you (I'm sorry!) I was tied in a bind and was tryin' but my mind Couldn't find what all this was leadin' to (2x) Verse 3 (iNFLiKT) What else could we expect outta these circumstances? Somebody was bound to wind up hurt and damaged Even if it was mapped out with perfect planning I knew that you would end up in a nervous panic But after we violated the first commandment My face hit my knees and I was cursin' damn it! How could we squander such a sure advantage?! I feel myself gettin' even more further manic There's certain chances you shouldn't try some options Just gotta be put aside and only looked at with a crooked eye I could've tried to act like we weren't full of lies Like we weren't in a war and ignore all the bullets flyin' Maybe I fooled you but I could never kid me Am I just lookin' for pity or is we ready to live free? This emotional turmoil is like a shot to the kidneys It's risky to ask but could you forgive me?!

Verse 1 (iNTALEKT) Aight, so here we are Feelin’ it’s sufficient to give ya them gritty bars Whippin’ hard, really seem odd to lead the charge But we embark and we eager to seek the lost Who fiend the rock, dope fiendin’ and noddin’ off Yea that’s the block – where product is non-stop Guns blastin’, toe-taggin’, shottie sawed-off That’s not all - shorty’s younger than twenty four Drop on all fours get it given to her raw Trainin’ day tricky she lickin’ the whole cliquey Sippin’ some mo’ liquey, a spliff and some rolled sticky Feelin’ she so icky, just simply broke, empty The enemy so temptin’, she envy the doe – can it be? That it is all so simple I think no Chorus Tell me can we live in a la la land?! I think no! Tell me is we buryin’ our heads in the sand?! I think no! (2x) Verse 2 (iNFLiKT) The streets are so brutiful That's brutally beautiful you gotta mix up the two of those Pain and pleasure are one in the same together Like fame and cheddar, sun shine after the rainy weather The style grungy like Al Bundy - I still Look at it and say how lovely - foul honeys With bangin' bodies but it's a shame they mouth ugly Talkin' all that garbage baby it sound funny I'm still shootin' up hope O.D.in' on gratitude When seein' the avenue even when it’s battered and bruised Anything can be given a time, place and a reason Down in the gutter I find space for relievin' Meditatin' on the corner unwind, waitin' and breathin' That’s just the mind state that I be in Even on the darkest street there's a lamp post Remindin' you hope when you think you can't hope Chorus Tell me can we live in a la la land?! I think no! Tell me is we buryin’ our heads in the sand?! I think no! (2x) Verse 3 (iNTALEKT & iNFLiKT) Switchin’ up the rhythm, I give ‘em somethin’ to talk about I’m brilliant with written and still I’m willin’ to rock a crowd Sick of all the ignorant, simplistic just stop it now Flip it up and rip it, twist it and give a walk around You’re missin’ out on vision, you’re wishin’ you’ll reach a proper sound But you and ya crew is not who it is all about (So you and ya crew is not who it is all about!) You and ya crew is not who it is all about! Ya'll are clowns it's about time for someone to call ya out Talkin' of all of ya ballin' that's false and a hollow sound All the dollars counted to nothin' is what it all amounts We gotta start rising before we've fallen down This is our future we live for our better tomorrow now So you and your crew is not who it is all about (You and ya crew is not who it is all about!) You and ya crew is not who it is all about!

I know that God wanted me to rap He saw that I embodied all the qualities for that It’s obvious to see the vast majority is wac It bothers me that we don’t get apologies for that (Sorry, P.A.T.H.)

Why I need my baby girls! Why I need my baby girls! Verse 2 (iNFLiKT) Aiyyo P.A.T.H. it’s been pretty damn rough getting’ here Difficulties catapult me through gut wrenching fears My beats spillin' out all the blood, sweat and tears The music speaks for itself (just let 'em hear!) Yo I cuff heaven's ear and absorb in the smell Melodic fragrance I snort and inhale To endure through the rawest torments of hell Then my angel descends (the Lord never fails) He sent my baby to save me from the turmoil That’s constantly breakin' me down like burnt oil Its soothin' to my ears to know my girl's loyal She keeps my feet planted in the firm soil My wifey, you mean even more than the world to me (What God has joined together) Is what? (Eternity) yo Even through all of the fightin' the fussin' and arguin' They try pull us apart but then Ima keep fightin' hard to win The problems we solvin' 'em with the wisdom of Solomon It all will end (you chicken heads can keep gobblin') BITCH! Bridge Man it’s such a crazy world, such a crazy world, such a crazy world That’s why I need my baby girls, I need my baby girls, I need my baby girls Here we go! Chorus (iNFLiKT & P.A.T.H.)

Verse As it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end History's repeatin' again - you seein' the trend? We can pretend we all have evolved, problems are solved 'Til survival of the fittest we fizzle off and dissolve If real recognize real why you jockin' them fakaz? Hatin' on haterz only makes you a hater, you hater! Watchin' they every move these petty dudes should stop it With dirty pockets makin' a livin' off of gossip Talk shit for profit here's the truth for ya'll people That ugly love of money's the root of all evil Chaos precedes beauty when chaos ensues Suffering is the only currency to pay off them dues Ya way off if you think ya gonna purchase the finer things And nah I ain't even thinkin' about the shine and bling The intangible virtues are the only reality So lovin' on ya possessions is phony actually So I lament Chorus Why there ain't any real ones anymore? Why there ain't any real ones anymore? Somebody tell me - please?! Is everybody a fake? Nobody wanna be straight? Can anybody relate? Somebody tell me - please?! (2x)
