lyrics
(Verse 1: Felicia)
Where do I start? So much we're going through
Many are called, Chosen Ones are few
Sometimes I get tired battling these demons
Sometimes I get tired battling
Where do I start? So much we're going through
Many are called, Chosen Ones are few
Sometimes I get tired battling these demons
Sometimes I get tired battling...these demons
(Verse 2: Felicia)
Gamble on faith
Tears roll like dice
Could have been worse
Never trying
Come from afar
Search for better
Learn from the past
No time for fear
Don't give up and give in, all because confusion
Don't give up and give in, all because
Gamble on faith
Tears roll like dice
Could have been worse
Never trying
Come from afar
Search for better
Learn from the past
No time for fear
Don't give up and give in, all because confusion
Don't give up and give in, all because...confusion
(Verse 3: Sono)
Fear of a Black Messiah
Obama can't pacify us
Written like scriptures from Zechariah an act of violence
We watch our own die, we act with silence
Fear is an active virus
That's not a Nigga
Oh no, that's Osiris
Burn us and Lynch us, enslave us
Turn us religious
Shot the nose off the Sphinx and jinx us
Still can't convince us
Our resilience is not brilliant
We don't know how to not fight
We're of that spirit
Jamaican Maroons and Marcus Garvey
My Aunty taught me
A. Bastamante
Still the soul of Paul Bogle haunts me
These Neo Nazis can never stop me
From shining like Liberace
They gentrify our own soul
So we can carbon copy
Credit our work on this earth to Anunnaki
Europe hates our skin tone but still wants our bodies
Inject fake lips, hips, and full round botty
Please believe Apollo Creed can still be Rocky
Who gon' stop me, huh?
