Modified Warrior

Let the preacher say Amen and the choir say 'Gloria'
You give it all and they still want more from ya
Chasing the high or the feeling of euphoria
But this pose is called "Modified Warrior"
I lift stones to build a foundation strong enough
I spit flows and got a couple more to offer up
There's more of us but we too afraid of rocking the boat
To ever govern by the popular vote
Is our apocalypse slow or is it time running out?
Without a second to spare, without a shadow of doubt
He get the hands in the air, and known for rocking the crowd
Dead lift them 10 inches off the goddamn ground
When rappers were laying down
I was fighting to stand up
The walk to the cane to the pain drugs can't touch
So you playing it tough just ain't do nothing to phase us
I make them all hush introverted and anxious
And plus I let the devil live long enough
Lay out the cards on the table cuz I'm calling all bluffs
Reconstructed the stance to stand taller cuz
The new shit is called "Modified Warrior"

"Modified Warrior... Slightly Modified..."

I'm reinforced by a source I'm a part of
How many frauds did this industry prop up?
But see the thing is that I never been star struck
I need to know what you can bring to the potluck
Too many fans jam packed in the hot sun
Too many hand stamps, too many want one
Too many artists, too much product, too much gas
I'm here to tell you not to start that podcast
Unless you really got the passion to do so
I used to grind til the force went through bone
Just like a parent who would bring the abuse home
It's heavy lifting walking round with a tombstone
Tied around your neck, the child of that neglect
Was wiling for respect and while defying death
I found a way to rep for lives that I protect
Forgive but don't forget
It's bigger than mic checks (mic check)
Cuz things will never be the same as before for us
I let the strange winds of change fill up all in my lungs
Transform to stand strong & never forfeit cuz
I roll up with some modified warriors

"Modified Warrior..."

I realized what a violent word 'normal' was
Got torn down the middle, got sawed and cut
Got fused with some screws and reborn to run
So this one is called "Modified Warrior"
