Speck - Due Progress lyrics

[Verse 1: Akin Yai] In these so-called last days, I'm hanging life with its dirty hanger With the hands of love while my words incite anger It's far from orthodox, yet I swore to God I'd plot To move people close to the truth. Then we could set up shop When knowing everybody in my house is growing I am the party people “slash” the lyrical poet Throwing bows and a fist in the air here in America I stand, the ghost of Bigger Thomas I am Here to redeem hope, seen dreams float—f** a steamboat I paddle right up sh**'s Creek, ready to battle Travel lands. I'm seeking fans. Truth is in the man From the motherland and friends to far east Japan People coming out the darkness, approaching the light Like a younger, black Lois Lane, I'm close to the fight. It's like: Reminisce of them days back in Africa Benin [?]—respect my habitat I got love to spit on a hype track Provided by Speck. Cise Star, where's your head at? [Verse 2: Cise Star] A wrinkle in time, watching movies made for the blind Got me in a cage, [?] written in rhymes Sparking a spliff. Testaments written in hieroglyphs Spreading apocalypse in my Prime—still a Optimus Crumble Necropolis. King ruling Metropolis Walking my exodus effortless to the promised land Serving the sands of time, high winds'll change, soul Raised with hope, fly by dark clouds of bane Sipping elixirs, drinking my sorrow mixed with liquors Fighting the system, bucking the ceiling hurting my feelings Hitting my head against hardships, so words said against me Better squeeze again, son, because you missed me Uh [Hook: Akin Yai] Yeah, people, we got to believe in one mind, one God, one future to see Y'all feel? We gonna make it with the power to be one mind, one God, one destiny People, listen. It's like we got to believe in one mind, one God, one future to see Y'all feel? We gonna make it with the power to be one mind, one God, and one destiny [Verse 3: Akin Yai] Believing in dreams. See, now I'm envisioning things In a new light, I move like a fish in the spring Remain visible. I chose to rhyme—it was feasible You didn't ride the labels again? Yo, you pleasing who? Not we. Got these stars from another Planet. Who can't understand it? I let it hover Above the city, searching for truth to reconcile committee Like Bishop Tutu, CYNE. I thought you knew who's Here to make surrender obligant and we foolproof Ayyo, check it out. We foolproof [Verse 4: Cise Star] I stand on top of buildings, talking to devils, refusing their beers After fasting for forty bars, here to save the kids Not in Jesus Christ, to a star, stay immaculate My methods are Methodist while we banging on Baptist A rap rapture, telling the slave master “Let my people go before I cause a new disaster” Out of the projects to the motherland. Regardless Of many hardships, me and my people gonna progress [Hook: Akin Yai] People, it's like we got to believe in one mind, one God, one future to see Y'all feel? We gonna make it with the power to be one mind, one God, and one destiny People, listen. It's like we got to believe in one mind, one God, one future to see Y'all feel? We gonna make it with the power to be one mind, one God, and one destiny
