Epiphany (Freestyle)
We don't inherit the lands, we borrow it from our children
We can live in peace, when we learn how to understand
We can only fly, when we learn how to lift each other
They'll be no more ego, when we learn how to take the truth
Take away the evil politician, no corruption
We don't want war but they searching how to make war
When you put the people in poverty, they be violent
Of course when you corner the dog, it turn savage
Bark like the scorpion, buss, another drive-by
The victim was a trapper, simply tryna feed a family
Afrikan the Alien, the product of an immigrant
A victim of the system, but he learned how to play the system
Taught by the works of Yallah, no one can overpower
Dragons in the air with fire, they fighting over land
Bombs from the air disperse, just made another orphan
Devil in a suit just laugh and watch the people starve
Then they lie to me and say we're doin' all we can
How you lie to me and say you're for democracy
A time where the planet was run by the hypocrites
You breathe, you deserve to live, that's how it should be
Everyone deserves to eat, like the communist
Greed always falls in power, ask Boris
Puppets always looking confused, fuck Rishi
I used to vote for Labour, now I don't know what to do
No hope, fuck Keir Starmer, he's a puppet too
Comfy motha fuckers they don't care about the hell we live in
Then they say they're all for peace, go on and save the people
Then Sell and buy more weapons, look at all the ice caps
Violating God's world, I can see a flood coming
Wash away the nuclear, take away the
Green land, take away the future
Tell me was the blood worth it
Afrikan the Alien, the witness and the documenter
Maybe some time
Love some time
Don't let it fall
Let it fall
I don't owe anyone, I don't owe nobody nothing
Apart from my mother, what I owe, can't afford it
I'm sorry for the pain that she felt when
They locked me
I'm sorry for the raids and
The guns all up in her face
Cah the police looking for me for a murder case
Suffering cah that's my best friend
I'd never kill my homie
Four years on bail
Had my life moving slow mo
I'm a leader
I can't show that I feel broken
Weed and the lean
I thought it helped, I was so wrong
All it did was drive me away from
Everything I loved
Could not recognise any peace
I was full of grief
May the lord forgive me for my times of weakness
Babylon, they could never blind me from my history
Even when they locked me, they could not take my identity
When it came to faith as a child, I was a prodigy
In the streets, wearing no shoes, with my older cousin
Black market in Serekunda, while the sun beating
Born with a thick skin, they said to me
"either sell your spirit or your suffering"
I replied "me I still forgive you"
Then I took the whippin'
That real Mother is a fighter, 'cause I'm filled with courage
I'm in my cell chillin' and I'm watching porridge
I be taking laps in the yard, no hurry
I don't fear pain, cah it give me more knowledge
Yo, before I turn artist, I was a pop star
Pop mentos into fizzy, til' a pop spark
Wrappin' all this money like I been a rapstar
I used to wrap pebs, we them boy that made the hood hot
My first zino of each flip, I felt like a mobstar
Second brick flip, with power of silence
Catch the visions, give it flight like a helicopter
Brought my niggas in the money, double faster
Maybe some time
Love some time
Don't let it fall
Let it fall
We can live in peace, when we learn how to understand
We can only fly, when we learn how to lift each other
They'll be no more ego, when we learn how to take the truth
Take away the evil politician, no corruption
We don't want war but they searching how to make war
When you put the people in poverty, they be violent
Of course when you corner the dog, it turn savage
