[Verse 1] Now from the longest to the shortest, twentyfour in a year From the verses to the chorus youve been longing to hear The talk story transmitted through verses we persevere We the presently lasting future first From the spear to the sling shot We rock upon a solid block of granite We stand over the plan to hold the weapon with the fist And heal it with an open hand Feeling focused on the promise of a liberated land And Im just a simple man Getting caught crossing the fire more often than not The fire crosses us and the cross is on fire Reminders its not enough Its been time to dig and find the diamonds in the rough And then refine em in to weapons To cut up the belly open til we all fall out Cause the end of what it was is what it is right now Its a great leap forward kind of different from Mao Still drop it on the one like elevators to the ground Now its the turning of the page To the second chapter A tragedy and comedy so cue the blood and the laughter To survivors of economic and natural disasters Living for the right here and not the hereafter A handful of tracks Each a snapshot to capture the trials and tribulations And smiles since youve been waiting awhile We graduated in style Congratulations People of the word gather Thank you all for your patience
