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....
