Pendulum

In the Land of the Hopeless
The grams and the Toasters
The Brands and the Poachers
From Batterams to Instagram lives used to rope us

Same objective with different approaches
Lies blur our focus
Modus operandi
to vilify the chosen

Scars ever closing
Praying to the stars until the bars swing open
Swear he heard the voice of God
Like we was Moses

Just waiting for the Sun-shine to lay it's rays
On the darkness shining light upon their evil ways
The keys unlock the shackles of these mental chains
And like a carpenter, with the tools

We reconstruct the frame
The King-Dome of deity dissolved the cage
Liberation with a method that's beyond his ways
They say it's with the a method likened to the waves

Of the ocean, giving life in every droplet sprayed
Though we still in the darkness
The cruel and the heartless
The hurt and the harshness

Death lurking close
So they resolved to stay cautious
Crucified on corners
The roads act as the crosses

He wishing in his soul it was another way
Mama hanging on the hope he'll see another day
Liquor being poured upon another grave
This the burden of the lineage of the former slaves

And still, we feel the mercy of a guiding light
Like the prophet spoke to death and
Brought it back to life
Triumph on the lips

A witness by the sight
The walk of faith without the blinds
Ascending up the flights
The ruler of the realm

Just commandeer the heights
Of your essence
Inner blessings we were birthed to rite
You see the luminesence glowing in the night.
Eternal Fire symbolism for eternal life

Yet we still in the Matrix
The God and the Satan
The mansions, the vacants
The skyrise relies on being built atop basements

As above, below, learn its embraces
Lessons learned, patience
Time and a placement for every stage we faced with
The foul and the fragrant

The low-key, the flagrant
The rich man, the vagrant
The genuine, the agents
The freedom and the cages

Just look inside your soul
And you will find the truth.
The very essence of your being
Like the forest roots.

And you can know the tree
As we observe it's fruits
In abundance seeds of love
Pray they reproduce

And all is as it should be
Your growth is proof
See the thorns come with the roses
Guaranteed to bloom
And we forever live
There's only empty tombs
I close my eyes to light the lights up in the upper room
