Transition



Verse 1

Now I got two eyes and ears yet I cannot see and hear what you telling me is great I don’t relate from Americas birth place blight laced avenues evil trace strikes morning nights and afternoons perils they loom triumphant I resume addicted to my cause victor injustice my trigger watch genius turn to niggas manhood decayed betrayed for decades slaves fearful let terror tear through their fortitude time to engage the youth elders middle age young where ya customs come from ya morals and trends discipline and culture belief do you fit in as a cog to your own destruction amount to nothing wondering how they function see evil’s summit I can’t submit war mongers hunger for blood pocket billions from killings dealing arms and poppy fields brothers fill morgues with others misplaced hate degraded imitate their colonizers the fat shiftless lazy arrogant double speaking heathen with faulted reason small ax chopping down your trees its always them seasoned folk who yolk us back in what happened treacheries legacy uncle toms won’t be the death of me record speaks volumes technically elite message steeped in agency biases preferences open addressing the lost stray and ancient current and vagrant commodores zooming away crafting my spaceship to places that’s utopian still they rope me in escapism is dangerous so this place I anchored it its got to be a better way of living a new beginning light flickers in the distance in transition.



Chorus
