[Verse 1: Cise Star]
Spanish Fly line for line as I'm ripping the rhyme
Precise styles and Akin Yai now, we be the CYNE
Showing you hope out of life's slippery slopes
Adolescent teens turn from God and raise coke
That ain't the answer. Stress of the world giving me cancer
But f** that. Moving through streets like Black Panther
The world stands still, black youth living in landfill
No way to pay the bill so it's now k** or be k**ed
But that mind state is irate, raising up all the crime rates
We need to sit back, let the mind revelate
Regulate hate of self and get immaculate wealth
Releasing your delf, pull that knowledge off of the shelf ‘cause
[Hook: Cise Star] (x2)
Life ain't no crystal stair. We just here
Ignorance is on the rise and n***as just don't care
Ain't fair how we living. Money is just spending
We need to slow down and meditate for a minute
Cause life ain't no crystal stair, we just here
Ignorance is on the rise and n***as just don't care
Ain't fair how we living, money is just spending
We need to slow down and meditate for a minute
[Verse 2: Akin]
I let my light beam, dodging and weaving life's scheme
Meet the mic fiend. I'm a**a**inating pipedreams
Hunger for war. A revolution's at your door
When can we all just get along? Say I'm boring
We want freedom—real freedom, that's all there
For what me and my comrades we here to blast off. My shots echo
I'm bringing it back like retro
‘Cause centuries of memories I can't let go
Most of y'all heard of us, the Jim Crow murderers
Black activist with a black active fist
Ignorant fools catch a back slap and fist
It's been a long time. CYNE, we shouldn't left you
You're without a conscience rhyme to step to
Just pop it in your Sony and all Babylonians
Behold this son of a gun that's not phony and
[Hook: Cise Star] (x2)
Life ain't no crystal stair. We just here
Ignorance is on the rise and n***as just don't care
Ain't fair how we living. Money is just spending
We need to slow down and meditate for a minute
[Verse 3: Cise Star]
As I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of d**h
I sidestep ‘cause you never know when your time is next
So I calculate my thoughts and put ‘em on ca**ette
So my future seeds can hear me on tracks I bless
Nevertheless, I progress against darkness
A one-man army without the use of technology
Quite possibly my words spawn philosophy
But philosophical thoughts, evening can't follow me
[Verse 4: Akin]
Nothing's pretty and Akin spread love without Hasideans
Westerners are trying to be God like Branch Davidians
I can't respect that. My mind just neglect that
Bullsh**. I bring this pistol, the full clip
I can't tire. With God I plan higher
I start a civil war, Confederates catch fire ‘cause
[Interlude: Sample from [?]]
It's a cold world. This is a paradise, boy
[Hook: Cise Star] (x2)
Life ain't no crystal stair. We just here
Ignorance is on the rise and n***as just don't care
Ain't fair how we living. Money is just spending
We need to slow down and meditate for a minute
