[Intro: John Givez]
It's a war for your soul
(Before you see it in painted blue
The temptation to see it through
Turning back on, what you thought you knew
The fallen, it's coming through)
[Verse 1: John Givez]
I gave my life up to God
Then heard the devil whisper, "I'll be back"
Momma say that patience beat the odds
Poppa say to watch for all the traps
You see I came up in the fast lane
And fascinated with violence
Man in valour with power or, coward stuck in silence
See the science of a young boy turned madman
The chemistry had chronologically prepared to advance
Here's my plan (tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em)
Give me pain, I aim to be the strongest
Give me reign, I aim to dance the longest
Anything you bring I aim to harness it
I'm calling this the fire in my fury, shame is tarnished
I am conqueror
Cross the Jordan river, I am Joshua
I am just a product of the light
I am Optimus Prime
I am rebel with a cause
I am ready for the jaws
Give me life, I see the walls of Jericho fall
[Hook: John Givez] (x8)
Soul, soul
Rebels, rebels, rebels
[Verse 2: Ruslan]
Looking back to the early beginnings
It's very easy to see your not fine, uh
Feeling a war for my soul
Seeing a battle for my mind, uh
Fighting self-control
Can't seem to let go
Don't think I got all the answers cause seldom do I really even know
What's happening to me the next day
Yesterday coulda been my best day
But tomorrow ain't promised
But I still feel like I need to develop me a [?]
So, so I'm forced to fight
Forced to right this falser life
Pa** on the torch tonight
But they just wanna see sport tonight
k**ing each other and k**ing ourselves
All in the name of feeling ourselves
Look in the mirror I'm k**ing myself
Becoming much clearer who's willing to help
Throwing a rope and taking a hope
Then cover up by taking a oath
Setting the entire thing on fire
While in the name of making a toast
We're so surprised you
(Turning back on)
Everything, everything
(But you thought you knew)
But I'm a soul rebel, old soul
(Fallen)
And this old war's so cold
(It's coming through)
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Beleaf]
My heart been looking for a solution (before you see it)
I thought I sold my soul but it wasn't mine to sell
I told many stories but they weren't mine to tell
I tried to scream revolution, had no strength to yell
I was calling out for help, but really only calling hell
And they called me black collector, collecting my thoughts for a spell
So I paid for my cell, that I sat in
I was saddened
That's what happens when enemies have a patent on your patterns
I was pa**ing it
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa**ing it
Medieval times, I was breathing fire
Guess I'm dragon it
Drag 'em [?]
Drag 'em all through the earth
Drag [?]
Drag 'em so they feel it when that spirit is [?] like a [?]
I'm above all that
[?] where the mud at
At the floor of the cross where the blood at
In the street in the hood where the thugs at
I love that
People say, "Black will you come back?"
I said I'm on a whole other level
But I still make art for the souls of the lost
I'm a soul rebel
(Drag 'em!)
[Bridge]
Turn your soul into
The one you have unto
All is true
Before you see it
In painted blue
The temptation
[Outro]
Yo, or, hold on
Yo, it's your boy Truck Stop
I'm calling to encourage you to make your rapping musical ca**ette album
I promise that if you make your album
Me and my clan, or, my crew
We will drop it like its hot
[?]
