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...

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....

Black Maybe 02:32
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....

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 Hook (Alex Pulakos guitar riffs at the end)
