[Verse 1: Akin Yai]
In these so-called last days, I’m hanging life with its dirty hanger
With the hands of love while my words incite anger
It’s far from orthodox, yet I swore to God I’d plot
To move people close to the truth. Then we could set up shop
When knowing everybody in my house is growing
I am the party people “slash” the lyrical poet
Throwing bows and a fist in the air here in America
I stand, the ghost of Bigger Thomas I am
Here to redeem hope, seen dreams float—fuck a steamboat
I paddle right up Shit’s Creek, ready to battle
Travel lands. I’m seeking fans. Truth is in the man
From the motherland and friends to far east Japan
People coming out the darkness, approaching the light
Like a younger, black Lois Lane, I’m close to the fight. It’s like:
Reminisce of them days back in Africa
Bendin' rhyme boy, respect my habitat
I got love to spit on a hype track
Provided by Speck. Cise Star, where’s your head at?

[Verse 2: Cise Star]
A wrinkle in time, watching movies made for the blind
Got me in a cage, one more page written in rhymes
Sparking a spliff. Testaments written in hieroglyphs
Spreading apocalypse in my Prime—still a Optimus
Crumble Necropolis. King ruling Metropolis
Walking my exodus effortless to the promised land
Serving the sands of time, high winds’ll change, soul
Raised with hope, fly by dark clouds of bane
Sipping elixirs, drinking my sorrow mixed with liquors
Fighting the system, bucking the ceiling hurting my feelings
Hitting my head against hardships, so words said against me
Better squeeze again, son, because you missed me
Uh
[Hook: Akin Yai]
Yeah, people, we got to believe in one mind, one God, one future to see
Y’all feel? We gonna make it with the power to be one mind, one God, one destiny
People, listen. It’s like we got to believe in one mind, one God, one future to see
Y’all feel? We gonna make it with the power to be one mind, one God, and one destiny

[Verse 3: Akin Yai]
Believing in dreams. See, now I’m envisioning things
In a new light, I move like a fish in the spring
Remain visible. I chose to rhyme—it was feasible
You didn’t ride the labels again? Yo, you pleasing who?
Not we. Got these stars from another
Planet. Who can’t understand it? I let it hover
Above the city, searching for truth to reconcile committee
Like Bishop Tutu, CYNE. I thought you knew who’s
Here to make surrender obligant and we foolproof
Ayyo, check it out. We foolproof

[Verse 4: Cise Star]
I stand on top of buildings, talking to devils, refusing their beers
After fasting for forty bars, here to save the kids
Not in Jesus Christ, to a star, stay immaculate
My methods are Methodist while we banging on Baptist
A rap rapture, telling the slave master
“Let my people go before I cause a new disaster”
Out of the projects to the motherland. Regardless
Of many hardships, me and my people gonna progress
[Hook: Akin Yai]
People, it’s like we got to believe in one mind, one God, one future to see
Y’all feel? We gonna make it with the power to be one mind, one God, and one destiny
People, listen. It’s like we got to believe in one mind, one God, one future to see
Y’all feel? We gonna make it with the power to be one mind, one God, and one destiny
