It Gets Harder

People look at you insane but you know it's never suitable
To give up on your mission in times that be critical
The non diabolical, preachers quoting biblical
Powers that be mystical, tenet philosophical
Method analytical, love unconditional

You've been pushed to max, but you're back, never wack
The pain is feedback and it's yours, you attack
People look at you insane but you know it's never suitable
To give up on your mission in times that be critical
Isn't it just beautiful, living the historical
Non diabolical, preachers quoting biblical
Powers that be mystical, tenet philosophical
Method analytical, love unconditional
You're crucified and thirsty, vinegar their mercy
A purist, you tourist, you need to get up of this
Thespian pedestrian, long faced equestrian
A sniper in their sights, fingers itchy got the lice
Remember how they looked, tried to leave us all shook
Didn't even lend a hand, it was fire on command
But guess who crawled out the dirt, ready steady make 'em squirt
Saved like last the last dance when you never stood a chance

It gets harder
It gets harder
It gets harder
It gets harder

They hoping you a quitter so you give them head splitters
A true go-getter, you the G, none better
From days of the juvenile, tossed out the crucible
Rounded up like decimals, still we indestructible
In the belly of the beast, in the belly of the fish
In the belly of the ships, sailing off hands bound
Gagged by the hell hound, whipped shackled and drowned
We were lost, now we found, we were slaves, now we crowned
Heavenly gates home bound, first like the Brit pound
Yeah we good or we hood, it don't matter touch wood
Daniel in the lion's den, Bethlehem for wise men
It's cold so you shiver, heat make your heart quiver
A stone cold sinner on the altar repentant
Sin is a tenant it's time to evict
You bolt and you twist, sweet pain you inflict
One day at a time, every move is a crime

It gets harder
It gets harder
It gets harder
It gets harder

Your thoughts are a penance, own dreams are a menace
A sword or a pen, wage war then again
Get, get thee behind us, we be the royal highness
The Brit Africanus, outnumbered never spineless
Trials we tribulate, but we be of good cheer
Like the eyes can speculate but the mind is still clear
High notes like chords, blood spills from the swords
Even foxes have scrubs and bald eagles hustle
Opinions are like armpits, everybody has them
It scared you, prepared you, you didn't thought you knew
Kissed the fountain of the youth from the city of the jungle
Royal cause we rumble, never scared to tumble
An immigrant now most faces ain't brown
Yeah you stuck on your own, darts aimed at the throne
How bad do you want it? Can you please afford it?
The price that we paid and the lives that we laid

It gets harder
It gets harder
It gets harder
It gets harder
It gets harder

Many are the afflictions of the righteous
But the Lord delivereth him out of them all
Come on

People look at you insane but you know it's never suitable
To give up on your mission in times that be critical
