From the recording The Divine Silence
Lyrics
I was raised where every promise had a consequence attached
Every option felt like toxic bonds, I’m watchin’ interest stack
Turned my trauma into commerce, had my conscience all mismatch
But the profit from our conflict make your pockets Albert, fat
Snowflakes shaped like a monarch wing
Coke dust glitters like a galaxy’s gleam
Trap house a mausoleum to the loneliest fiend
Searching for God in clouds of amphetamine steam
Angels freefall as seven trumpets blare through the furnace of greed
Even heaven grows quiet when the cavalry screams
We damaged different walking with a weight that make my shadow twisted
Mapping missions big enough to grab my fam and lift em
Past was vicious brothers fold from pressure like collapsed ambitions
Mothers weaken, spoke in whispers bout the trap’s conditions
Sketching futures on the ash of every tear my younger self had gifted
Passion-driven, ain't no rumbling stomachs that can answer prayers
Nightmares got they hands around my ankles tryna snatch me there
But I ain’t crashing yet too much to gain tho all our rations scarce
Still marching outta hell to bring my people past despair
The plan is clear keep grinding even when the nights feel cancerous
When chance is thin as wire splinters, still tighten our stances up
I staggered rough through shadows thick as secrets in abandoned dumps
The path is cut with losses, but my conscience got a bandaged trust
I gamble much cause every dream I chase got ones I love strapped to the front
Velvet linens over violence, I polished my flaws in the gaudy glow
Haunted halls where the hunger carves you hollow, but I still let the aura grow
Aura gold in the arteries, irony I never let the carnage show
Cartridge smoke in the Marigold garden every blossom got a war to sow
Earth quakes from the tension built, vengeance spilt on the temple stones
To the fam I defend Im Genghis Khan You cant kill a man who name lives on
Etched in history like i shattered through the temporal zone
Credits gone when the debt is grown, might as well bet it on some type of loan
Heaven knows when the levee blows paradise is just a rented home
Surviving sin, the hunger made us sharper than a diamond’s skin
We climb again, from nothing but them riots and a mind content
Desire thin, but pressure made me polish every line I penned
I’d try to win, but every loss was just a guide to find your strength
The lies I bled, the nightmares had us fighting through a violent lens
Say God’ll spin your losses turn your trauma into lion’s dens
We priceless then cause struggle built the gold beneath the life we’re in
Carbon blush in the opulent dawn, ominous spawn in the monolith brawn
Polished pawns in the solace of wrong faith goes numb when the profit is strong
Prophets fall in the atrium fog, stadium gods in the cadmium smog
Gradient claws in the palladium jaw
Break a rapper’s soul so clean the echo carries his autopsy to God
