The Ballad Of Deliverance

Lyrics

Listen What's the measure of a man? Do you cherish pleasures of this land just to perish in the sand? When hourglass shatters, time loses it to man Coming to grips, earth slips when palm body underhand it Fate of our planet lies in their clutches Soulless quote unquote arbiters of justice I can't trust this curse that we're birthed in First thing you learn is death's certain Weekly people hurting trying to get by Friday get fly, Sunday sit by, and dread the next week of repeat Repeat, delete tears Meanwhile beasts cheeks cliff streets, who'd rather you retreat Throw a feast on the eve of defeat Don't believe what they teach Let me breathe in this peace (ah), exhale relief Thief needs brief through art His heart beats to a rhythm of deceit Riddle of a speech you perceive as unique and mystique Careful what you seek Cheap risk, reap lies as rewards Live for this world just to die by its sword that was forged by these lords craving praise off of vanity Maze of insanity, phase of humanity we're lost in Way before Covid, was dodging them coffins, it was very often Streets, got involved in Seems everyday another murder one solved and Didn't know who to call friends Smiles felt disingenuous, no one at the shows, thinking why should I continue this 'til I get online, found like "let me send you this" "Bro, you saved my life for real, always remember this" I was battered and bruised as life skewing my views The night ruined my moves, the light cuing my views They like "you on the news," this fight want you to lose This fight want you to lose despite how good you do and Making you choose the lesser of both evils Little Bo Peep, you count sheep sleep You creep you and freak you out with a preview of earth that is worse Purpose to deceive you, rich but morally bankrupt, no I wouldn't want to be you People out here need you Idols aren't deserving of their titles who you're following mislead you Life on the tongue; death, never will I speak you Universe connected, we're expected to be equal World is a stage, play your part in these sequels Rappers wanna shuck and jive, never will I run and hide, lost supply Lies, be advised ain't no gun inside the booth, our recording but scorching for mics I've been torching, enforcing light Lord is endorsing Music is important Our words are assortments are feelings were revealing, could bring healing or torment Spies in disguise, y'all be bumping informants Dreams lying dormant, now they swarming storms and off of the enjoyment 'til I make the rain dash Paint The Sky, sun glares through a stained glass Shoutout to Reimei, we're heirs of the same class Rhythm is therapeutic, refusing pain's grasp This an insane task, to reverse the curse of mankind handed down since birth Generation confused, they don't know what they're worth Go to school and then work until you're back in the dirt For a hero you search, but they never emerge Just a face on a shirt, RIP on your merch What we see is berserk, internet is an enigma, maximize lies, compromise for some eyes on a picture Guess I miss the point, I don't get ya Beats similar, hand-me-down kicks, yeah the shoe fits ya Turn they nose up, froze up when it's scripture so you can tell he's in the mixture I'ma bring it home upon who stumbled upon this throne Hope in these songs, nothing can replace that How you supposed to know when it's love if you hate that If you give your all and you fall, embrace that Fruits of your labor, don't waver, you can taste that We gon' be the needle in the haystack We gon' be the needle in the haystack Home is where the heart is, every artist gotta face that How you're living is more than just where you're based at Bro, you're more than just a face tat
