RaZah Adé - Verse 1:
Scout the match we in making more than
scraps U.S. war stats blast off the transistor
reading memoirs of X
move forth connect with paternal understanding
new york patios meet deep thought
in a spirit that chief hawk dont sleep the weak walk
in a dream they dont believe shorted them
in a check at a broke bank
provided ten percent gather the sheeps
rattled knees through mythology
but grasp the steep is vast upon this tree of might
wisdom drop perfectin every crop peep
the age we in
get past these sects find unity in our steps
tight knit like the sacred systems we once kept
look to our stories of the past left
so the worst isnt forgetten and the best of it gives us strength
ignite roars that deplore false
and reclaim our souls african a name i hold dear
cause it lies within
HOOK:
What's relevent is each element
that makes up the foundation sediment
you can't shake up the foundation, ever since
we hit the scene y'all respect the realest team
SHA - Verse 2:
I thought collector respect the architecture of the ALL
involved in fly on the wall art of lecture
in my section is peace while the world is at war
born under one common structure
was it all the luck of the draw
people sleep, people sheep
the wool block what they saw
we flock to the store and buy more than what we ever could keep
then applaud
plots to deceive and receive what we have not before
while we fall from the dis-ease and the core rots
bloodclots and clogged pores
i resolve to be more than a have not
consistently
bring the rain to feed the crops, grow the seeds
we the foundation lead to the top
every level that succeeds can't be without the first floor
you must first crawl before you hop
always look before you leap to get the props...

Innocence Lost

SHA - Verse 1:
Forge the path
they coming raw with it
when the empire falls its a war with the math
y'all exploring the craft
getting all in the mix
regarding the half you don't know it
until you all pause and reflect
connect with the larger portrait
it's a blood bath
they engaged in unless you enraged
them types will always keep on
dawn of the most bright
illuminated minds we are born in a time
between loss and insight
grieving the crack eras flaws
and we floss without an invite we the type to chase gloss
but we know there are stones that are truly precious as we are
keep the ends tight
so we can reach the heights we was meant to
keep the ends tight
so we can be boss...
Hook:
Innocence lost
All we do is live and its at a high cost
I wanna live to be boss
All we do is give and its at a high cost (repeat)
RaZah Adé - Verse 2:
Cognate we all birthed from the earths surface
now we engaged in turf skirmishes
and desert purpose
searching elsewhere
the base is fact iron forging to
uranium scorching terrain
insane our membranes recieving nodes
react like fiends wit tracked veins
cataracts of mental caskets
cremated and replaced with templates
sedating awake
its a war going on arms stay drawn
draped pawn militias palms fatigued
from gat grip release now the psalms
switchers preachin till opportunity strikes in the night
this plight snatch youth till wisdom inhabit choice
our moves will be dictated by trends
social matters the news stress
putting the real at distance they been failed us
straying commitments keepin status elevation at bay
Hook
I wanna stay high....

SHA - Verse 1:
How we supposed to be compliant with liars and tyrants
and bear with the PD assignment
they hired to put us right where they need us
its confinement: bars or box
anytime that we share in it it's worth diamonds
that's the reason why they master your mind to confine it
couldn't find to see beyond the dime they keep shining
like scrooge mcduck
you lucky if you catch the timing
this shit is designed to hem you up
what's in your army jacket lining?
might as well be a uzi they fabricating findings
while you stuck
in the dark, its your word against narcs
and you bleeding all over your truck
its a sickness
some shit you did as a kid out of foolishness they bringing it up
to justify your ending
the police got a problem and keep pretending its us
with this reverse psychology media fuss
could it be 'cause...?
RaZah Adé - Verse 2:
the beast attacks cold feet
they retreat into gang activity
apprehending young black or gunclaps
feed they thirst for blood
dollars motivate most tactics dealing with folks
like garner now a goner
garnering youtube views
this is how they hog tying niggas
get your mind right cause they still hangin niggas
willies laws are still prevalent in this hour
its air play is well calculated
wordplay distort see inverted image
the mind records decypher your feelings at large
these villians is with out honor
they uniform and badge is they god
how many lives have you robbed
and stood on trial and lied to get off?
when the tides change you ready for
they neck high waves ripples from god awakening?
it'll be more then a march
motha fuckas just watch!

Dreamers
02:42
|
|||
RaZah Adé - Verse 1:
Through birth the beauty of life resurfaces
this assurance breeds purpose in seeds
that make it to Earth
first test: first breath and first cry
first steps towards seeing life from your own eyes
formulatin' perspectives
like bulbs we blossom in season as our
petals dance gently in sync
with the wind currents planted firmly
grounded with roots whose helix is twice astounding
the sun feeds us degrees masculine
while kunika nutures
unconditionally
principly its the three sixty cipher of life
get privy cause it gets heavy alone enemies constant with stone
statements but they wont break him
he holdin his on now that he grown
folks is always gonna want a piece when
you succeed situatin' and take lead
as a contender
HOOK:
I want the stars to shine
you see what's yours is mine
and I just can't recall a time
when all we had was yours and mine
No crystal stairs to climb
and still we turned out fine
but I just can't recall a time
when all we had was yours and mine...
SHA - Verse 2:
Knowing your true mission in life
being given an inch
stuck following their vision for stripes
caught in a pinch
deliver us from evil
living's a cinch but they just want us to be feeble
reliving the past
the forecast give us a glimpse into the warpath
they live as the grinch
and everyday is christmas
praise god
but they still give us a pinch
pinch me, am i dreaming?
or is this how they been ever since
when in touch with the defense
the prosecution double teaming, persecuting
why sit on the fence?
its an illusion given to us to an extent
total confusion
let me just vent its a few men sitting in judgement of recruitment
they need to get bent
we were born to live again
we are the dreamers, we are the dreamers....

Zynia: We live in rockland baby...
All:
We live in Rockland baby
we tryina make it baby
The time is NOW
SHA - Verse 1:
Mad trees line the streets
city kids parents came here to find peace
wake up in the AM to find deer looking for eats
in your bushes
follow me see where the evil minds meet
to divide and defeat
the inner outsiders decided the fate
of the schools
like the ramapo indians they had to delete
from the history
we add to it the East
while they add to the stress, at school
feeling like they had me beneath
i tried to reach for the right tools they would grab me with beef
the muzzle they had me under
sad with disbelief
i always glad for my peeps tho
surrounded up and down Eckerson
200 building beyond we all witnessing
life from a movie set every jet lets off fumes
that criss cross the sun's path
looking like graph paper
check the wrath in my paragraph then we hit the palisades to the city
to speed up the hour glass later...
Hook:
We live in Rockland baby
we tryina make it baby
the time is NOW
RaZah Adé - Verse 2:
The picture of the American dream lives here
my peers and i witness it wishing
some of us obtain pieces in this petri dish
malls and plazas replace fields
how we work our shifts
adoptin' patois now mixed in the jargon we spit
creating brand new cultural scripts
welcome to Rockland
meet the ambitious and frustrated
fronters and understated
mostly domestic but foreigners swarm
like its ellis island that they checking through
weed smoke electrify a wide scope of these young folk
effected by social decisions of a specific sect
bangin on a level the feds had to check
we must connect my way out i phase out distraction
and know whats happenin
my fellow townsmen raise up and win it
no matter how they paint us just get it

Constellations

RaZah Adé - Verse 1:
This star pull steady intense
school with sentences that make the present more
the rements in history distilled through
millenial dates
perfection will capture ra
patterns repeat
battling babylon the red sea an issue for most
but recognize rhymes is written to shift
the ignorance
pounding' the ear drum a snare set to fracture the dumb
blinded numb
they reaction handicap them
crabs scrappin' for the top get thrashed
with the barrel collapsin
whats the word?
royal legacy the crew legit pushin limits
aesthetic sacred like graffiti embracing the brick
chainless we will emerege proceeding
wit contents of the conscience
the docile better repent cause omnicent one watching
since earths conception
so we burn to discern the lessons
Hook:
We form like stars in a constellation
we are type hard to break concentration
we are twice y'all at one half the equation
all Black and half amazing (repeat)
SHA - Verse 2:
How you figure we got this rep for being better
every syllable is a step forward
i leap for mankind to connect every raw feeling we get
respect mine when i'm on
recline and just let all the realness detect mind
keeping in line with the sections
deep in the grind to get more
i bet y'all wasn't ready for where my speech went
i creep in on the zone
i frequently stress cause and effect
i wreck yours to dissect time
i combine with the best
you don't get to set laws in my flex
i'm too large to ever let
you barge onto my set
i could get thrown from a moving whip and still
land on my own two so correct
i'm so select, gold stars
when i take off like a space ship

Nothing Much
02:34
|
|||
SHA - Verse 1:
This is a fresh take on a rotten flesh plate
nasty, I just ate (gestate) and give birth to an escape
life is like X Games i don't just skate
anything is possible if you believe and just take
fit in on any landscape
put to rest hate while the rest hate
as i do the impossible rock a few microphones at the best rates
but i'm not for sale
the tax man forever just chase
like a dog on its own tail
catch me in the woods shooting bear like its Oregon Trail
can't show fear when the FEMA trucks pull up to the grill
until then
its living in the mountains
vacations in negril
going back to africa soon as i hit a mil
if we ain't winning, still we ain't never failed
Royal Legacy the greatest this is the season we prevail
Hook:
Days are getting cold, nights are mad long
we could never fold, if we stand strong
know what the future holds so we command arms
standing on my front lawn with all of my people
(Repeat)
RaZah Adé - Verse 2:
Guiltless we watch and want riches
and the accessories that come wit it
the overall level of comp
get stomped when the mind is conquered
and wired to see past plastic
and we embrace fabrics
woven by spinnin' masses
effectin our hormones and actions
bend according to how we want to ascend
and see the reflections
blemishes and where it clashes
remodel whats bottled up
recitin' mottos of power by race men
risen from the muck to become statesmen
the world is changing
cloned warriors chores coppin' the same
threads no water in detroit
every citizen worth a million
in norway
nuclear water hittin
cali shores Godzilla is coming
favelas hidden by the glitz
of FIFA my people, what's going on...

SHA - Verse 1:
Feel the gravity
situation unraveling
feet switching places with the beat
gripping and grabbing
moving towards the avenue
what is it coming to? where i had to be
this is probably my ancestry calling me up to salute
i had a few minutes to deal with the body pursuit
heavenly
in lives comedy i live like a gatekeeper seeking the loot
on gods property
only am i constantly watching me
under constellations
we properly seen places where oasis isn't mockery
it seems tasteless
to not move with a purpose
empty my purse for my purchase at the bar
we living it up its a party b
and the rhythm is a part of me
spitting it for the art of it
and i'm feeling the music flowing all through my arteries
now you feeling my soul audibly you gotta be
MOVE!
HOOK:
Move, feel the bass line jump
let the rhythm hit ya waistline some
Move, let ya waistline jump
when the rhythm and the baseline bump
Move...(repeat)
RaZah Adé - Verse 2:
This groove housing a shine
bumping in the bassline
aint no minor ting
when Royal Legacy bring tune
make a rude gyal a bruk out
bad man a rush out
like its a basement jam
aint no faking it fam
drapped in rhythms
