about

The first solo track I have ever released. Inspired by current events, and parts drawn from features.

lyrics

Stay calm, don't struggle, do not look around.
Accept what you get and do not make a sound.
Just give it a minute until the swindling begins,
If it didn't, forget it, we finna' pen it again.
We been spinning these facts for desired reaction.
Make 'em pay to break they backs, and then we charging for traction.
Our reaction, if they catch on, is 'Sell 'em a pill'.
Yo, the highly medicated WILL chill so you don't have to worry;
But THEY do cuz you got the right to stand up and fight.
Take control of your own life. Let worry
Be a Force Motivator or get rid of the shit
Just eliminate it cuz worry
is the opposite of confidence. Like ignorance to competence
You feel it man? You got this shit? Worry
Is a way they hold us down, but the truth is, once you in the ground
You don't have to worry.

(Hook)
Hell no I won't go gently
You gonna have to get me
Drag me
Scratching and kicking
'Bout to be in for the fight of your life,
And one of us is dying tonight, aight?!
I said you bout to be in for the fight of your life,
And one of us is dying tonight.

I love y'all.
So it hurts me to see that we have a war overseas
While we're fighting another here in our own streets.
This shit makes as much sense as starvation and obesity.
We gotta love one another, PLEASE.
Cuz the Patricians who make up our Leadership Cast
Have us juxtaposed to submit AND blast....
Submit, MY ASS.
I don't know what's going to happen man,
But I know that me and mine will be alright.
I just pray it doesn't come down to a fight.
We lost more to the Civil War than any since or before.
So let's heal this. But if we can't, we have to KILL this.
You WON'T cut the throats of my brothers, sisters, and children.
Before you do, I'll remind you that I'M A MASTER OF VIOLENCE TOO!!!
Yea, me and mine will be alright when we reach the other side.
How 'bout you?

I hope to meet y'all there, and together we can tell 'em...
(Hook)

Wether you feel it or not, wether you WILL it or not,
You gonna have a lot of time when that coffin drops.
So if you're lost in a paradigm of caustic thoughts,
Ya half-steppin mother fucker, need to knock it off!
Sometimes I SWEAR I understand how Tom Joad felt.
Like I'd rather spare-change in heaven than supervise in hell.
Sell my soul for a dollar a pound just to holla
When the check aint around.
NAH!!!
Since I'm blessed with the power to lead the people,
I won't lead, I'll EMPOWER, I'll teach to be equal!
See if we can break this cycle we're locked on
Before the thought process is locked in a pine box.
Time walks on if you're stepping or not.
Ya never know just how much ya got.
It might be a decade, a month, or a year,
Yo it might be today. Is that a shovel I hear?

And even when that dirt starts flying man, Ya gotta let 'em know
(Hook)
Yo, it might be today.
