[01:00.23]Two steps away from death a vest and a holster
[01:02.87]I detest detectives arresting us over
[01:05.28]Weapons possession they was checking the rover
[01:07.64]Inspecting the tattoos on my neck and my shoulder
[01:10.16]How many times I'm one of six coffin-holders
[01:12.65]Or sitting with goons in a visiting room
[01:14.98]Flip it I could've been you
[01:16.39]Behind state walls bidding
[01:17.96]These are the things that a G pray for acquit us
[01:20.40]A little stash in the safe or a little shorty to wait for
[01:23.50]Or a shorty to take the weight for him
[01:25.40]What really did I escape from
[01:26.98]Thought I saw gods face on the design
[01:28.92]On my vintage claiborne
[01:30.43]Swear I see em every day in the bus or the train
[01:32.94]Or the billboards out there that hang tall
[01:35.56]I still give thanks for him have faith for him

[02:05.65]But them never deemed
[02:06.84]Worthy for the cause

[02:12.99]Like a cherubim
[02:14.21]Keep us strong through the winter like an evergreen
[02:16.63]And all of us are more connected than it ever seems
[02:19.26]All things are related and creation is a package
[02:21.97]Generate together and we increase the wattage
[02:24.47]A how them a go manage
[02:25.77]Tell Babylon them can't do rasta damage
[02:27.97]Nor stop we through the passage
[02:29.41]Jah did make a promise god is always honest
[02:31.85]Always keep his word don't care what the plan is
[02:34.39]Don't be astonished
[02:35.53]Stumbling bocks vanish
[02:36.80]One day the meek gonna live inna di palace woah
[02:39.84]
[02:40.60]Jah told you in his own words
[02:44.67]

[03:18.88]Some people ask me if I feel the zionists are real
[03:21.39]And in my songs do I plan to expose and reveal
[03:24.11]Word to the curb that's under these chrome wheels
[03:26.28]My homies is only ones I'm taking care of
[03:28.57]But severe reality starts to become more clear
[03:31.15]And these know-it-all rappers have become more weird
[03:33.61]As if they were superior and fans are inferior
[03:36.58]How I balance between the streets and the theories of
[03:38.93]Collegiate literature I hold mirrors up
[03:41.41]Give combinations of pain joy fear and love
[03:43.89]Through my perspective I can see Jah reflection
[03:46.09]In the highest definition getting high with my brethren
[03:48.68]Could've asked us why Africans dying from circumcision
[03:50.42]
[03:51.07]They lack proper surgeons suffer malnutrition
[03:53.72]Underestimate the wealth of their own wisdom
[03:56.12]It's like its been exchanged for this penicillin
[03:58.10]
[03:59.66]Jah told you in his own words
[04:03.99]
