lyrics

Chorus: When will you wake up from your slumber?/ And when will you see the truth?/ And when will you accept the light?/ So don’t waste time tonight’s the night!/ And when will you wake up from your slumber?/ And when will it dawn on you?/ That when if of life and death/ So don’t waste time, ‘cause there’s no time left!

Verse One: Heat comes on those untrue/ I step through/ The fire that burns the flame blue/ Unscathed/ May his name be praised/ Let the standard raise/ ‘Cause evil are the days reigned by the prince of air/ Pain/ Feel despair in your life when his prints are there/ But really, the warfare in heaven is unfair/ My weapon of choice is prayer with cross hairs/ I rock a mic with intelligence and raw flair/ Ever since two-k, a young age/ I didn’t write, my pen bleeds on the page/ I’m a dark horse for the force of light/ It might sound coarse but of course its alright/ Divorce faith when your main source is eyesight/ Today’s mad tight, he won’t give you tomorrow/ Choose now and be saved from unlimited sorrow/ Please!/ When is the question a man needs.

Verse Two: Walking on eggshells, splinters, glass/ Not even cut skin and bruised feet could surpass/ The pain and anguish of a shameful past/ Its crass, that why they live for the present and strive to make it last/ Children surrounded by dissatisfaction/ I betray my heart, through a treacherous action/ More displeased with me than with my neighbor/ Don’t wonder why there’s no fruit when there’s no labour/ Society disgusts disapproved behavior/ Learn to be taught/ You we’re bought by the saviour/ Violent rap sales might be multiplying/ But I’m disposed to copy Christ and die trying/ It’s like that!/ Because is the most valuable commodity/ But obviously, we waste it on our own personal odyssey/ What an oddity/ Those who stand survive/ Those who sleep will perish/ I urge to be redeemed/ This is time to cherish/ So take me, remove me/ From this B-movie of unruly life/ Existence itself, it don’t receive enough hype/ The time is ripe/ Pounce now while its still night.
