lyrics

Down to the ground,
Taste the dirt in your wind pipe,
Been looking your side in my darkness,
I've been earning the insight

I pave my way in a pitch black forest in an unknown land,
I go day by day some go clear and some black
But this one never dies, I'm sitting in a prison cell burst in your colour,
I've been learning what's under the surface, now this is words from your brother

Got my hand locked on to your wrist we're gonna run and jump off the waterfall,
In a land and a place where you believe yourself and your doubts are audible

Calling in my inner wolf, running with the fearless,
Getting real close with the ones that try to spear us,
Play a game of chicken, show you a bigger animal,
An ample a travel of a land like a cannibal

Metaphor makes reality when I come down,
Turn more prey for family if my tongue's out,
Hungrier than ever for the right causes,
I see the future of life and it's gorgeous.

Some of us won't make it, some will
Some of us won't make it, some will
Some of us won't make it, some will
Some of us won't make it, some will

We're facing a matrix, we don't do escapism,
Built like a warrior who knows it's a game,
Better hold your colour, put some gold in your gray vision,
Songs in the key of life, we open the gates within God's work,
And don't go to a religion, but those who do be with them

It's war on their whole way of living, sending love to the ones that had to go to the racism

There's no way I'm limping, I got a straight backbone for the distance,
If they wouldn't finish I would go Olympic,
We let them notice where the queens and the kings is,
Next life I'll be speaking in whispers,
Next life I'll delete it in an instance,
Smash it so hard when we win this,
We'll all see a piece of the system

You gotta be with yourself, surround yourself,
if you need any help, shout out yourself, believe in yourself,
proud of yourself, be with yourself, it's power to yourself,
Say to the mirror you belong in a jungle, it's al going down
get ready for the rumble, falling buildings tumble and crumble,
Some of us wont make it some will.
