lyrics

(Intro)
Self destruction, were headed for self destruction.
Self destruction, the only path left unless we decide to:

(Verse)

Wake up! Wake up!
Life's on the move.
It's never gonna wait for you to shake the blues.
You hesitate you lose
Never choose to be immobile.
I feel like I 'm working with half and not the total.
Cause these dreams, dreams,
are splatting on my forehead.
And seem to take the shape of leaders lost to blood shed.
What does it cost to trade places with your idol?
And could you take the weight without becoming suicidal?
It's just a title,
keeping us all bitter rivals
in this rats nest of competition,
capitalism twisted.
Am i witness or have I become complicit in this,
perpetuation of a blood pact,
an ancient fiction.
So whats a brother to do
without a choice to pursue?
Gather my strength from a few,
History wants to pursue,
And take the first step to fixing what was broke,
its a joke if you think you're woke
without attempting to provoke:

(Chorus)

Yourself.
Nobody else.
Attack the ego, put it on the shelf.
You gotta understand the freedom of worth
and get that TRUE liberation.
Make moves and stop waiting,
no faking.
Persist.
It's self defense.
Against the tyrants in our midst.
They want us limp.
Don't need permission to resist,
I'll take the hit,
Simply for raising up my fist,
May I exist?
May I exist?
Without protection, ohh..
Without your bullshit perceptions, ohh..
Not tryna be your reflection, ohh..
Just want to carve new directions, and go
and go,
and go.

(Halie's Verse)

(Chorus)
