Hook: This how I keep myself prepared for the storm/ step into the light where infinite knowledge is born/ I perform with this microphone mountains move in the valleys/ a bright future shining when my mother had me/ sadly I seen evil take control of youth/ so I salute anyone who always speaking the truth/ we continue the same cycle while nothing is done/ my lungs filled with breath as I see the morning sun/ hear the cries of many when its cold through the night/ just wanna live to see the day my people rise and unite/ in the same fight where we all die on the line/ its hard to see the facts when the blind leading the blind/ my mind travels through time soul touches the music/ could be a powerful weapon when you know how to use it/ this for the movement and for the people stuck in the beast/ and for those who sacrifice their life for freedom and peace

Verse 1: Younger generations minds being corrupted by the wicked/ higher levels intelligent thoughts from one of the gifted/ this how I kick it something powerful in every lesson/ to get my people from under the systematic oppression/ I still see no progression just pain that never heals/ like the wounds of slaves who picked in them cotton fields/ I build never forgetting the raping, beating, and whipping/ evil blinding your vision don't worry the truth has risen/ but they tell you to just forget it all and move passed it/ how could you when you see how they left Emmett in his casket/ everlasting this the ugly truth I had to swallow/ it kept me going like young Lauryn after the Apollo/ this path I chose to follow was destined beautiful memories/ deeper understanding when you feel the mystical energy/ devils eyeing me closely hope the fire start burning me/ but with this gift and knowledge see I'm blessed for eternity

Hook: This how I keep myself prepared for the storm/ step into the light where infinite knowledge is born/ I perform with this microphone mountains move in the valleys/ a bright future shining when my mother had me/ sadly I seen evil take control of youth/ so I salute anyone who always speaking the truth/ we continue the same cycle while nothing is done/ my lungs filled with breath as I see the morning sun/ hear the cries of many when its cold through the night/ just wanna live to see the day my people rise and unite/ in the same fight where we all die on the line/ its hard to see the facts when the blind leading the blind/ my mind travels through time soul touches the music/ could be a powerful weapon when you know how to use it/ this for the movement and for the people stuck in the beast/ and for those who sacrifice their life for freedom and peace

Verse 2: Still exposing the many ways that they planning on coming after ya/ spread my message, break down the science art like Ancient Africa/ culture, civilizations understand what I'm teaching/ they hoping this don't get out like government secrets leaking/ I'm seeking the higher places where these words forever touch you/ all different races and show the problem humanity faces/ these writings that are sacred, hieroglyphics encrypted messages/ disappointed with how we all just settled and accepted this/ so I'm willing to die for it since truth is barely seen/ spark the minds of these young blacks rage against the machine/ its really storming so this album more of a final warning/ you transforming I'm transcending into the supreme/ the presence of a true king who ruler of his kingdom/ tell my brothers to pack they bags up so I can bring em/ out of that place where all of their minds are being fenced/ and bring em to another side of life for eternal strength

Hook: This how I keep myself prepared for the storm/ step into the light where infinite knowledge is born/ I perform with this microphone mountains move in the valleys/ a bright future shining when my mother had me/ sadly I seen evil take control of youth/ so I salute anyone who always speaking the truth/ we continue the same cycle while nothing is done/ my lungs filled with breath as I see the morning sun
