HOOK Im from a bygone era in a washed up city Where I wont quit kickin til the cops come kill me I dont know no other way naw! No I dont know no other way naw! In the concrete jungle where the crown weighs heavy But the God dont stumble so the throne stay steady I dont know no other way naw! No I dont know no other way naw! VERSE 1 [Iron Solomon] I never been a worker bee to abide by the plan Or sell my soul to the devil for the price of a gram Never fell victim to the lies and the scams More like the lion whos disguised as a lamb God amongst mortals disguised as a man Only care how Im viewed in the eyes of my Fam Day that I day Im a rise from the sand Disappear into a portal in the skies of Japan Til then my lifes intense like a Bedouin Always keep it moving stay one step ahead of them First year student turned varsity letterman New jack swingin with the soul of a veteran The oddball got the playing field leveling Iron aint the dude with whom to be metaling Eating MCs and spitting up medicine15 Never regurgitate the lies that was fed to him HOOK Im from a bygone era in a washed up city Where I wont quit kickin til the cops come kill me I dont know no other way naw! No I dont know no other way naw! In the concrete jungle where the crown weighs heavy But the God dont stumble so the throne stay steady I dont know no other way naw! No I dont know no other way naw! VERSE 2 [Iron Solomon] I saw the future in the cards read my own tarot It said to only fear God and your own shadow The revolutions televised through your own channel While the struggle thats within is your own battle Im royal Fam from my skin to my bone marrow Wear a crown full of thorns carry gold arrows In the land of the lost Im the lone pharaoh To see my eyes is like staring down a long barrel Tryina swim with the deep but they so shallow9 Herd of sheep starting beef like they clone cattle But I could walk bare feet through the stone gravel Where the roads narrow this the path that you wont travel On the last car of the train I made a map of the city from my heart and my veins Then I walked through hell and got charred by the flames But I never let the pleasure get marred by the pain Too cold to hold, too smart to be sane Just to think these thoughts would leave scars on your brain Still I shine through the dark and the rain Aint a goal I could set too large to attain HOOK Im from a bygone era in a washed up city Where I wont quit kickin til the cops come kill me I dont know no other way naw! No I dont know no other way naw! In the concrete jungle where the crown weighs heavy But the God dont stumble so the throne stay steady I dont know no other way naw! No I dont know no other way naw!
