Akin Yai - The River lyrics

[Intro: Sample from [?]] I loved what I heard out there that night when I listened to you guys. And I know you can do a hell of a job [?]. Just put a little harmony behind in a couple of spots there and you got it going [Verse 1: Cise Star] (A one, two) I swoop a handful of Earth in my palm while singing a song Thinking of God, I wonder why we don't get along Searching for knowledge but not the type you get in a college f** a selfie scholar. All I want is wisdom and honor Son of my father but grew up and got on my own Wandering wilderness, delirious, thinking of home Got tired of begging for bread—he dealing instead Growing rich off the corner and it troubled his head Business man he became through the hurt and the pain He caused—the children of addicts are caught in a game Leaving the spot and never went back to the block Emptied his pockets and gave the trashcan his Glock [Verse 2: Akin Yai] First of all, my time on Earth ain't definite Change is the only constant. That's why I'm getting this So you better do what you do, stay in pursuit of The dream like a fiend—for a hit, your a** screwed up See, being there's a time and space like right now to Express yourself. No joke, we fight clowns for Getting to pa** at last. We moving on Is that a safe way to escape fate? They're all wrong Song is hopping aboard a mission. We Trans-Atlantic vision For truth, they all b**hing like San Tomás snitching Listen, we like the Moors of this rap game We conquering the nonbelievers, show ‘em we ain't acting Believe it. We like the Moors of this rap game We conquering the nonbelievers, show ‘em we ain't acting [Hook: Akin Yai and (Sample from [?])] It's for the ones seeking some change that gratify life, see? That's why we write these words, sacrificing Self for this moment in time. We rhyme While talking to the river, we're sane (Once again) It's for the ones seeking some change that gratify life, see? That's why we write these words, sacrificing Self for this moment in time. We rhyme While talking to the river, we're sane [Verse 3: Akin Yai] Yo, propagandists will play games with no shame Deceiving the world, so eat some cake. But while the East await Fate, Babylon'll break sooner or later Bet them chickens coming home to roost with 9/11 proof [?]. See, there's a bitter truth You n***as couldn't swallow it, but, me, I'ma follow it To d**h. I should model it and do what I can And if a n***a listen, this mission will soon be a plan To make amends for a new world. That's my utopia Brave women and man, let's plan, escape the phobia A lost generation found, breaking new ground Sick of politics? Well, sh**. Listen to sound Off the MPC. Y'all are itching to be Sling professor of the cla**, number one MC—that's we The Benin [?]. No need to ask why You know what I came to do and I ain't a big shot [Verse 4: Cise Star] I walk across the globe, feeling the dirt shifts between my toes Hoping that no one knows the inner pain I'm feeling, though (So) It would be nice to convey myself completely Instead of seeing “Deferred Dreams” whenever sleeping Spilling the milk, I cried a little bit for innocence Lost over the years with peers following ignorance Seeing beyond the here and now until the voice is gone Instant gratification versus all the lifelong Consequences of many bad life decisions Standing out of the ashes, Lazarus has risen [Hook: Akin Yai and (Sample from [?])] It's for the ones seeking some change that gratify life, see? That's why we write these words, sacrificing Self for this moment in time. We rhyme While talking to the river, we're sane (Once again) It's for the ones seeking some change that gratify life, see? That's why we write these words, sacrificing Self for this moment in time. We rhyme While talking to the river, we're sane
