[Verse: Brother Ali]
Landed in my body like a notion
Prying my priorly unbroken lock, drug it out to behold it
Wild and unclothed and unbound and disrobed
And this close to the origin and somehow still so foreign
Unspoken ancestor cries in my throat choking
My eyes overflowing, whole body rocking and moaning
Wide-open ocean with no coast or shore
And its unbridled power to destroy if it's ever unfrozen
The mystery encrypted in the hard drives
History unlisted in the archives
Calligraphy scripted in my scars, scribed by hard times
Crossed lines, false signs, hard hearts, and lost minds
Pardon my complex, I've been robbed of my context
Disregarded my body 'cept for squabbling and hard sex
Constant stress, loss of consciousness, and a gnawing sense of
Voicelessness, loss, depression, unresolving arguments
Not enough rest, knot in my chest, not enough deep breath
Not enough sweet caress, not enough respect, just regret
My son, he's next, these never rest, they gotta go somewhere
These motherfuckers manifest, they gotta go somewhere
Handfuls of your hair, heart full of my father's fear
And my father's father's fear because you're here and they're not here
It's not clear, don't know how we got here, but we die here
Not fair, too many blood stains and murder scenes to hide here
Escaping in my ideals and my good vibes and all the feels
And IG Reels, conspiracy theories, anxiety pills
New sneakers and high heels, automobiles, Black Friday deals
And all to say all of it is foam on an ocean of rage
I performed on a stage, protested all in their face
Got thrown in cage for overnight stays and was home in a day
Walked and prayed in Mecca and Africa on a sunny day
And blew my pain through my beloveds anyway
[Chorus: Brother Ali]
See me in the moonlight
Breeze on a cool night
Can I ever move right?
New season, new fight
See me in the moonlight
Breeze on a cool night
Can I ever move right?
New season, new life

[Interlude]
For when we say
You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free

[Outro: Brother Ali]
Feel it in the wind, feel it in the wind
Anguish the ocean that we're swimming in
The cycle end and begin again, cy—
The cycle end and begin again, cy— (You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free)
The cycle end and begin again, cy—
The cycle end and begin again, cy—
Feel it in the wind, feel it in the wind
Anguish the ocean that we're swimming in
The cycle end and begin again, cy—
The cycle end and begin again, cy— (You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free)
The cycle end and begin again, cy—
The cycle end and begin again, cy—
The cycle end and begin again
