Hold the sword like a hand should
Write your passions into manhood
Heightened malice in the land look
Like the lights of havoc do no d**n good
Half sleep from being overpreached
The other half sleep cause the Xan good
A chief would take his hand like a thief
And make him stand like a man would
In the face of an ambush
To the back of they attack
Front of they frontline out the plane
With no parachutes in they backpacks
Choppin' **** and droppin' seeds
Them flowers grow where they land at
Properties on top of these
To make power flow from they handclaps
Suicide it's a suicide
You and I wouldn't do divide

Only fools would run from a dead man
My mind is an excellent weapon
I will not die for a label let's come to the table
And put together all our blessings
Our blessings religious our blessings ability
Our blessings materially identify enemy
Disconnect from the mentally
Put all of our energy into the kingdom
Back to the front on my way now
God has to show you your way round
Tired I watch while you lay down
You go while I sleep I put heart to the beat
Take a part of my piece and inherit the heritage
We're not American dreaming
We're realizing a kingdom
Only fools would run from a dead man
My mind is an excellent weapon
I will not die for a label let's come to the table
And put together all our blessings
Our blessings religious our blessings ability
Our blessings materially identify enemy
Disconnect from the mentally
Put all of our energy into the kingdom
Back to the front on my way now
God has to show you your way 'round
Tired I watch while you lay down
You go while I sleep I put heart to the beat
Take a part of my piece and inherit the heritage
We're not American dreaming
We're realizing a kingdom
