Down to the River

Down to the river
We're going out there
Down to the river
We're showing up there
Down to the river
We're going out there
Down to the river
We're showing up there

Yoooo
Let me start up a simple conversation
My eye sees, my mouth speaks my observation
This ain't just rhymes, this the sound of my heart pacing
Introduction, phishaman, Name and occupation
This ain't an altercation, pardon my display of passion
It just hurts to see the things that my people facing
Priorities misplaced by the population
I see good masked behind so many bad intentions
And so we miss the blessings but we gaining all the mentions
Doing it for the likes when life has more dimensions
This is an intervention, pay attention, brother listen
Whats the point of having eyes but then no vision
These times, these signs, rewind my contemplation
I'm seeing condemnation, wheres the love and the affection
Hate the people God loves with the Label christian
Are you the cause or the answer to the deprivation

Life is way more than the gram
You better bee sure what you want
It's hard but give it all you have
So let's go
Down to the river
We're going out there
Down to the river
We're showing up there
Down to the river
We're going out there
Down to the river
We're showing up there

P-H-I-S-H-A-M-A- N, to the rescue, im on the streets and analysing
I'm on the street, I'm his mic and so I'm amplifying
Extend the empire, I ain't talking Luscious Lyon
I'm just trying to spit bars gravity defying
Defining the timing that I'm in and the wealth I'm mining
Be enterprising, converting the basic in diamonds
Back when we happened to be the ones who were lacking
Now we the ones who be clapping confident with heavens backing
Yooooooo!! Do you believe? D'you know faith is priming
I'm just trying to get to ya to make your glory happen
Yoooo
We get the fame and then we get the dough
Then we oppress the ones who gave us all for real though
What you're leaving for is what you'd really die for
7 figures in the bank but then you die poor

Life is way more than the gram
You better bee sure what you want
It's hard but give it all you have
So let's go
Down to the river
We're going out there
Down to the river
We're showing up there
Down to the river
We're going out there
Down to the river

We've got that sunshine for the new days, have history in our new ways
Jesus be our true base
Trading masks for new face and
War stories
Allegories
Classify into categories
Marking out the territories
Change the world by telling stories
Let's take it to church
Let's show that christ is for us
Let's show the coming together of trees make a forest
Let's take it to the streets
May be hard but porous
Our actions are pillars
Our lives and words form the corners
Corner to corner
Kaduna straight up to Indiana
Moscow to Ghana, Accra
Paris to tijuana
Yoooooo
Let me wrap up my simple conversation
Ermusic the plug, His words the motivation
Caucasian, African, Asian
Regardless of race or nation
They aching needing salvation
The reason why we go fishing
The mission, change what they facing
Converting what they be hating
Patient till they switch to praising
Till then we serve from the basement

Life is way more than the gram
You better bee sure what you want
It's hard but give it all you have
So let's go
Down to the river
We're going out there
Down to the river
We're showing up there
Down to the river
We're going out there
Down to the river
