Stand up stand up
Come near, Come far
Come One, Come All
Come Home, Come Home, Come Home
Ahem ahem YES
Ahem ahem YES
All Praise Be To One High
Yes not a prophet just poet (Breath)
Breathes so steadfast to show it
Who Am I – What Am I
Ye Glory Be Magnify
HMM(Unn) So triumphant what is thee (Light in Ye)
Thy majesty taking over me (All for He)
For my fellow – lost child (Lost Child)
We prowl cus nature has turned us wild (so wild)
So hopeless searching for a home
Wet n ruined, dog can't get a bone (Meow)
Confusion caught in misery
Caught in a smile caught in wicked glee
Unravel til ye find it within ye (You're special)
Yeah there it is child, Roar loud
Stand up, be proud
Co'mon n, make ya big papa proud
Guide strong guide weary
Eyes cold and slightly teary
Frosted ears but we listen clearly
We earned a new definition o hungry
(Our souls are starving)
And all they wanna feed Us is malarkey
So we tried to find our own way
Broken n bruised, hard heads sway
We fought for our right to have our hard way
Which Now Brings Us To This Day
So take your chances, make human mistakes
Get on ya “Atliens” saltshakes
Weather the storm together in our alone-ness
So while we're driftin, give our neighbors a lil piece of home-ness
Shoulder that cold like there aint nuffin to it
And never be afraid to start a new ah
While you're in hell, holla Hallelujah
Keep your chin up n pull through it

Don't believe his lies babe
What you wanna hear so you'll drop your gaurd
I've got nothin to hide babe
Aint gotta make the truth so hard
You know I hate those malls babe
I just go to be with you
Giving you my all babe
These sweet nothings are actually true
Ooh girl, you got me weak in the kneesys (Superbad, jumpstreet)
like one of those love songs, to tell you something cheesy (50/50, 'Dupree)
Other guys jump straight to the bang bang sleepy ('make a porno, Kung Fu Panda')
I'm on my Seth Rogen, wanna “friend the shit out you” baby (Funny People, Take This Waltz)
“Some guys may cheat, and others might leave her
I just wanna dance I got Saturday night fever”
Rockin some Buck, as I turn you into Belieber
Moonwalk miles to give you chills for a thriller
Reflect all lies in mirror till shatter
Empty the baggage, Let's pay that hurt no matter
Say what I mean, ain't got time to flatter
Life is short, so lets dine the whole pu pu platter
Don't believe his lies babe
Gets close just to tear you down
You got me meaning these cheesy lines babe
I wanna make your smiles outta frown
Let your heart un-thaw babe
Cus you n me make simple math
Sometimes life sucks babe
Lets take some time to sit around n laugh
Ooh girl, you got me weak in the kneesys (Shrek the Third, Pineapple express)
like one of those love songs, to tell you something cheesy (Anchorman, SNL)
Other guys jump straight to the bang bang sleepy (Stepbrothers, Knocked Up)
I'm on my Seth Rogen, wanna “friend the shit out you” baby (40 Year Old Virgin, Broad City)
Ease down as the pressure pass
Lets relax n take off our masks
No need to rush to the story's end
Before lovers, lets first become friends
Baby their sex is but a weak trend
Our patient diamond is a God's send!
Ooh girl, you got me weak in the kneesys (Freaks and Geeks, Steve Jobs)
like one of those love songs, to tell you something cheesy (Simpsons, Jimmy Kimmel Live)
Other guys jump straight to the bang bang sleepy (Family Guy, Arrested Development)
I'm on my Seth Rogen, wanna “friend the shit out you” baby (Donnie Darko, This Is The End)
Not every woman is a dog, not every man is a cat-ch
But we are so lets unfog the act, and make like opposites attract

I know this woman - no I don't
but the way our energy connected
Reflected an intertwined section Soul
She doesn't believe in soul, but we'll call it soul
Because there's nothing else in this universe to describe
We transcribed our hearts into each other
Woven together stitch by painful stitch
And I know the word “Bitch” is only a word passed down by patriarchal doctrine to control the psyche
Though at this moment I feel my psyche is not not under control
I swore to myself I would never trust again
Now here's this lost timid freak pouring his last shred of hope into this woman
Looked into each others eyes so we can see right through
Slice my chest open, and pull my heart through
I've grown stronger, you can tear it, you can chew
Whatever it takes for you to see the light and build you
Its not that I don't know better than not to love
Blame it on my synapses, that's all the wires in my mind control me do
Dove fly, until you see the most high
I cry, Let me shove happiness to the sky
That crime you own with every ounce of your precious
As you stare into that mirror blankly, you're unable to see your true identity
Blindly hiding from your own preciousness
“No matter, you're so much like me I feel sorry for you”
As your mind fractures, the mirror shatters
See, we're the same, I'm coming apart by the seams
Seems seemly we dream of nightmares that splatters
As I lay on the ground crushed, there I stood to give you a soft kiss on the cheek
Thy harshest of meek, where words can't suffice to speak
Because I don't believe in trust, I believe in unconditional love
Well fuck, well fuck, down in my deepest bone all my self can scream is fuck you
Muffled by a heart that only utter the words I love you
Since a traumatized child I was out to prove to the world the only thing that exists is love
It is always there ever was, is or ever will be
I couldn't see our future, because now is the only time there ever will be
I fib violently like whatever, we held each other in our arms and promised us forever
Later you cut, you burn, you look deep into your bruise and tell me none of it was true
While you strangle yourself, you're strangling me 'til our hearts remain a permanent blue
Isle croon tangled ourself, I guess the blood we shared ran out of oxygen
I'm sick of being lied to, you can't look me in the eye and say our souls aren't connected
I will never give up on you, so how can you give up on me?
Once again the fool for truth ends the loser, but I'll die a fool if just one more brother or sister can open their eye
Dreams of reality while you're too distracted by everything that's make believe
Believe in you in ardently
So here I am, opened far too intensely, bleeding my self until we're all One
But self aint nothing but an ego, Until we all grow, no one will
I've learned infinite, which means I've learnt nothing
Only thing left to do is to learn all that infinite I'll never know
And never let go of your hand so that we can share that infiniteness together
Since everything is everything, then anything is nothing, cus even nothingness is everything
I don't love you!, I respect and admire you
How can you ever question how much I fucking love you
If I could express the words how I felt for you I wouldn't sing these fucking songs
Longing for your earnesty, our destiny was fate
But free will can be a bitch
No worries I got the fix, I call it sick contradiction self-destruction
Already buried those demons, now manipulation is an honest wince
Since no one is awake just burn me at the stake
The Earths last sigh, As the Earth quakes, we watch her hips gyrate
Hate my scars and unseen wounds, wear 'em nakedly as if they were your wedding dress
As you dress your sorrow in cheap thrills, I'm patiently waiting 'till you find your own will
No one can become the you that you dont even realize you want, except your own faith
You follow your friends, but only you can grow to own your own true image
Let us gaze as another leader follows the lambs to the slaughter
Your words and energy speak the most grandeur love
Your actions and emotions speak the most violent hate
How can I be upset with you, when all I know how to do is love you?
How can one live without their greatest fears?, what is more beautiful than a woman's tears?
Goodbye for now friend, the ones who love you are your endless prey
So here I kneel, with dirt, blood, and tears on my face I pray

Theres a dream
That I see
I pray it can be
L'Across the land
' Shake this land
...A wish or a command...
Dream that I see
Don't kill it, it's free
You're just a man
You get what you can
We all do what we can
So we can do just one more thing...
We can all be free!
Maybe Not in words
Maybe Not with a look
...But with your mind...

Since I was a child held against my will
Still I crawled up from that basement oh so chill
Keep my cool like 51/50 ready for a thrill
Then they closely monitor to see how I feel
Feel disgusted ugly and self-destructed
Abducted body but heart refuse to ever be corrupted
Inducted hope, but past grabs my thoughts when least expected
Creeps up out of nowhere and wrings neck til dissociatively disconnected
Pretended to associate normally
But folks staring at my face so awkwardly
On my own, cus I knew this world was against me
Want escape, but my morose mind malign hostagely
When self-defense is the same as murder, you'll learn what hunger be
We all have a beast inside that stalks so savagely
Do pardon thee, in cold cruel world where hearts harden
So follow me if your mother can never again look at a milk carton
So they all tryna figure me out, theres no figuring to crazy
Nah ain't crazy, it just in a world full o lies they see it insane to live honestly
Lil B so based mentality, freely thinking
no major label, cus no box can hold all of what my mind be
Just accept me as I is, just as I accept you as you are
If you let your dreams be contorted by whats near, your dreams will never go far
Hold on to our differences, don't let anyone tell you who you are
So uniquely equal, see we all come from stars
Its my right to rebel, feel the power of a black man
I was born to be extroardinary so I aint down with the program
Race war's been goin on since 1492, no such thing as happy median
Shoes on otha foot unlce sam, we the cowboys breathin down the necks o' you Indians
So no care for race, only race worth winnin is humanity
This is a demand for equality, against a state o' totality
re-marketed as democracy, Never back down for solidarity
So if you've always been on your own, now's the time to come together
We're all born in the belly o the beast, so as One we must make it sever
I know this journey's tough, but we can work it thru if we stick together
Endeavour change is rough, One must fight thru the pressure
To battle thru this life, we must be both angel and soldier
Theres reason for your lonely falls, let it build your character
Flip your weaknesses to strengths like a true lightbearer
Cherish what you've learned in the abyss, that's your sole secret
If they couldn't crush me on my own, then how can we be defeated
In what way can you harm me, that hasn't been dealt or self-inflicted
Damn right I got the sickness, God is my cure and my witness
I Can't fight your war until mine finished
Never alone, cus God is in us
This world would love to break you down, but child you are gifted
Keep thy purity in your heart, and always stay lifted
They gon' hate it, we gon' make 'em feel it
Can't stop my shine, yeah we got high spirit
