[Verse 1: Ab-Soul] My only fear is fear itself I ain't afraid to die, more afraid of myself Niggas looking at me like I don't hear myself Like I don't know pain, I been here myself This life will drive you crazy Only if you let it I'm just an American expressing, give me some credit Won't be surprised if before I rise, I'm beheaded These are the days of our lives Nightmares of a thief coming, taking my life I go to sleep thinking I may never wake up In this reality, at least I keep my bed made up I just wish they all could see what I can see If we could stop it with the violence and apply a lil' logic I believe We could strive to be a promising civilization We may die individually, but as a nation We'll rise, nigga, change lives, nigga Break ties from the everyday lies, nigga It's not time, until it's our time
[Hook] Don't be so afraid to die Until it's our time Don't be so afraid to die It's our time, til it's our time Cause we'll never die
[Verse 2: Ab Soul] All I see is confusion and chaos Blatant disorder, authorities picking on the minorities Unfortunately, the land of the free has little to offer me And got me often thinking about offing me I wake up in the morning and I ask myself Is life worth living, should I blast myself I'm tired of being broke and even worse The upper class acts like they don't want me on this Earth This life will drive you crazy Only if you allow it That's only if you a coward and you're sure to get devoured To no avail, tuck your tail, and all you do is give them power Who's gonna take a stand, who's gonna be a man Who do you work for, please help me understand You could be the victor in a situation We may die individually, but as a nation We'll rise, nigga, change lives, nigga Break ties from the everyday lies, nigga It's our time, until it's our time
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Punch] Pardon my immortality I'm Martin Luther shooting back on the balcony Escaping the Lorraine until they call in the cavalry Alpha 184, oh Lord, nobody blast for me If it takes me to be a martyr to push the envelope farther Nigga show me to the slaughter I gladly sacrifice what is percieved Sow my seed, so my seed can live its dreams My spittin' image, see my stitching in his genes According to my likeness, his breath of life is priceless My enlightenment's the ancient Chaldeans Penetratin' America's culture, to its very being It's not political though, it's more critical Spiritual warfare, you can murder me in the physical But I advise y'all to keep me alive In the event of my demise, I'll be bigger than life Beautiful death, nigga
[Bridge: Ab-Soul] Tragedy after tragedy, I know it's sad to see America killing her babies like Casey Anthony We try, we try to cope and hold on to our sanity Popping ecstasy will surely shorten life expectancy We travel the seven seas in hopes for a little peace We promised pie in the sky, I'm dyin' to get a piece Put down your piece, I'm wish you all a beautiful death PeaceTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
