The Initiates Piece

Lyrics

[Intro: Lukah] Yeah Yeah Uh-huh Yeah [Verse 1: Lukah] It's a war zone where I'm from Everyday and night I brace for impact Before we learn reading and writing we're trained for combat To bodily interact with each other The village is the [?] For every gun clapping is another baby that's born trapped With damaged nerve tracks yeah we're lost and drowned in incompetence For some reason I fail when it comes to attaining consciousness and emotional continеnce Kill for nothing in search of opulencе And these days we don't fear changed nor a sarcophagus A bottomless pit we found an [?], we chose to linger The mighty fist we once held high has become a middle finger With demon-type demeanors, heat slingers with reckless blind leaders And underachievers, [?] brother-keepers and below average readers Snake feeders, they feed intel so we can be repressed Its mental walls that blocks us in to our struggle to regress Denied access to the tools that can help the oppressed We find ways to push things forward then be forced to regress The problems are unaddressed Resources, there's still a major shortage It's obvious to see we're left out and that's the true reportage Education and overall health is lacking in importance The land of opportunity, how? Today we still the poorest Building a fortress, that takes time, I admit I lack patience There's many like me, if no change, I'm opposite of gracious Still audacious, it's rough being true when the world appears mendacious Cuz being courageous can get you maltreatment and thrown in their cages Seems outrageous, you ask what I feel I simply respond anger A little bit of fear everywhere, I see the face of danger The odds ain't in my favor, mistreat me brings out my ape behavior Was told it gets greater, I ain't waiting cuz I won't beat the nature, word Sometimes I feel shame, some moments I'm out of pride And terrified, don't wanna be victim of another fratricide But all aside, the reason I'm here has now been clarified Within a circle it's safe to strive and peace is personified Word [Chorus: Lukah] This place seems so unreal, and now I know how to feel Cuz I ain't never seen this before, I come from ain't nothin but war, yeah And I ain't never feel this safe Who would have thought we could find peace this way? Cuz I ain't never seen this before, I come from ain't nothin but war, yeah [Verse 2: billy woods] Swirling frankincense, one knee bent I'm Coptic Dry ice in the tropics, [?] price, USD not oxen Right hand drive on the [?] how we ready rockin' [?] war straps of oxygen The head nigga nibble little squares of bitter chocolate Indian ocean breeze through Barbadian cotton These same parasites squeezing in Mercedes Rows of tiny teeth, rotten bits of meat caught in between They shouldn't hook worms in opulence Everyone thought whichcraft but it was neurotoxin Libyan life raft the last option Chameleon when they boxed in Shock Doctrine on her shelf, Chimamanda on the nightstand Yeah, we on and poppin' Bantustans wanna be like Compton Chester McLaughlin middleman it Three point stands for the rundown Land grab when his hand touched the ground Fly through shanty town Land Rover windows half lowered so I can be with the people People rushing to their own fate bruv don't let me keep you [Chorus: Lukah] This place seems so unreal, and now I know how to feel Cuz I ain't never seen this before, I come from ain't nothin but war, yeah And I ain't never feel this safe Who would have thought we could find peace this way? Cuz I ain't never seen this before, I come from ain't nothin but war, yeah
