Winter

Lyrics

A.L.L.I.E.S. (Aneeway Jones, L.I.F.E. Long, and Iomos Marad) - "Winter" [Emcee(s): Iomos Marad and L.I.F.E. Long] [Producer(s): Aneeway Jones] [Sample (Melody): Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson - "Winter in America"] [Verse 1: Iomos Marad] My peoples already lost before the rapture happens Getting tricked by Shayṭāns, stuck in inner city trappings The episodes of liquor sips or they get high trips Getting wide and getting by, trying to hold onto the prize Sometimes, never escaping all the sins inside Cause the illness to the soul, spinning out of control Fallen is the code, Adam and Eve is the mold One bite from disobedience caused distanced continents Everlasting disconnection from God to man The solution is salvation to walk upright again. This is My one and only purpose: for me to keep writing To keep on holding mics and speaking these words, causing My people's spirits to soar higher than the birds We're the eagles of this world with different types of feather The higher the views are, we can recognize the weather When it comes to cycles of life, I'm a firm believer Keep our thoughts on the summer through the fall and the spring And now... [Hook: Sample from Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson - "Winter in America"] And now it's winter It's winter in America It's winter in America It's winter in America It's winter in America [Verse 2: L.I.F.E. Long] Ayyo, Jah changes seasons, keeping the balance across lands That's how the world moves as light expands through Time and space, different episode and place So much taken for granted—what a waste. When Winter breaks, I'll dodge chills with a North Face Trotting through blizzards, keeping the faith forward-pace Knowing that summer's light right around the corner. We're all waiting For them days to get warmer. In my hood, my Snowmen hang like icicles with ice grills in Snowmobiles, skating on thin ice just for a hot meal Heart's frozen up, dividing your brother man For no reason. For a lot, it's always the cold season But me? I'm trying to stay warm, chilling When temperatures drop, watch me keep building 'cause I Survived the long, hot summer. And, in the spring, I'm dodging Rain showers, so I'm prepared, ready Focused, and now... [Hook: Sample from Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson - "Winter in America"] And now it's winter It's winter in America It's winter in America It's winter in America It's winter in America
