Now the End Begins F/ Sole
Intro: Steve Cokely
Griff’s verse
I swear on mine,
If My people cry, if Black People die
While this president lies
See the devil listen to his lying ass
Building walls, sending tweets with his orange ass
I’m taking names, real talk, blame his game
White sheets his peeps, Black necks to hang
Grabbing crouch and porn chicks
Putin’s side bitch......
Reparations, Russia investigation
Dude is foul, here goes the sound
Chumps tower goes boom And pow,
When we shut em down.we shut'em down
Hook
Nightmare, daydream, stand still, run scream
Nightmare, daydream, stand still, run scream
Nightmare, daydream, stand still, run scream
Solé Verse 2:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9…. These muthafuckas done lost they minds
Earth bleeds and mothers crying, needless brothers dying
They need genetic survival, murder they justifying
Maniacal patterned denying, psychogenetic compliance
Furthered agendas and white supremist alliance
We throw a fist in defiance & yell Amandla and triumph
And seek ancestral guidance and hear ‘em speak from the silence (Child)
Ain't no retreating for defenders of light, I wield a flame in my left hand, a sword in my right.
Offer a forceful response to this material plight and be empowered with wisdom cuz this a spiritual fight
This ain't no camp fire song, there’ll be no damage control
Ain't come to lull you to sleep, we here igniting your soul
You better rise or be drowned, don’t let your silence abound
Strange fruit, blood at the root and blood on the ground,
So shut ‘em down!
Hook
Nightmare, daydream, stand still, run scream
Nightmare, daydream, stand still, run scream
Nightmare, daydream, stand still, run scream
Griff’s 2nd verse
Who killing blacks in the neighborhood
But we’re blowing cash on some fun
Cause we’re blind deaf and dumb
With a hold for your soul, drama at the polls
Can’t say your ass wasn’t warned told.
Solé Verse 2:
Speaking truth to power, toppled ivory tower
Recompense, burn it all while the cowards they cower
Lioness, Sekhmet, here to seek and devour
Dressed in the color of blood, Im here to balance the power
Griff and Sole
I like jordan’s but wait a minute
The hood is Starvin yo!
so put some knowledge in it
black bodies were sold, reparations are owed
pay it now or else we gotta shut'em down, so shut'em down
Hook
Nightmare, daydream, stand still, run scream
Nightmare, daydream, stand still, run scream
Nightmare, daydream, stand still, run scream
