[Verse 1: L.I.F.E. Long]
Deep under, beneath trenches, through the catacombs
Lost in the [?] zone, scribing on scrolls
Scriptures written ahead of time, recited, amplified
Through microphones, resurrection of Golden Era b-boy X
Unknown. They know not what they know—only what’s
Told. The message tagged, hieroglyphics on walls in the hood
Still, pedestrians pass by the truth, fearing good
So much darkness blocking out the light. People
Hold tight, don’t lose hope to fight. Together
We are one, strength in numbers unite. People’s
Army soldiers, marching with torches at night. We’re storming
The castles, raising arms for equal rights
Militant the movement, a million of your lights all together, strike
Shut the system down, overthrowing forces at night
Let these words come alive and take flight, look towards
The sky just to sight what I write
[Hook: Elohem Star and L.I.F.E. Long]
Soldiers over obstacles and boulders
Unified, simplify, carry weight on shoulders
Trek throughout terrain, monsoons, sandstorms, quick-
-sands ‘til we make it over
Soldiers over obstacles and boulders
Unified, simplify, carry weight on shoulders
Trek throughout terrain, monsoons, sandstorms, quick-
-sand ‘til we make it over
[Verse 2: L.I.F.E. Long]
Unseen, unheard, invisible, you can’t picture my visuals
Blinding jewels that be hidden, miraculous miracles
Steady crafting elusive. Your perception of real
Illusions, pollution is what the masses doing. They’re ruining
Ruins of the culture, tangling out, crumbling, tumbling
It all fell down after the champagne bottles popped
Corporate America whitewashed, stagnating, compromising
The art. You stole the soul out the music, then
Produced it in a digitized age, staring at devices
Dazed. Time moves quick—yeah, it’s flyby like days
Seconds, minutes. Hands on the clock spinning
Rapidly, so much taken for granted as things vanish. What’s
Here today gone tomorrow. Pain and anguish, it hurts
Trying to cope with what you loss, the price of living
Life—pay the cost. Rest in peace, those oppressed
By The Beast. Who’s policing the police when they’re no justice
Inside peace?
[Hook: Elohem Star and L.I.F.E. Long]
Soldiers over obstacles and boulders
Unified, simplify, carry weight on shoulders

Soldiers over obstacles and boulders
Unified, simplify, carry weight on shoulders
Trek throughout terrain, monsoons, sandstorms, quick-

[Verse 3: Elohem Star]
Hurry up, they’re hydrated from ricocheted atomic displacement
Energy arrangement in the form of my pen that tends to be swift
Like a sword and mighty like the wind’s changes. It’s survival of the fittest
Any other object deflects anger. Flows rearrange
And now you’re surrounded by strangers, left in too close with elements
Of danger, then spiral out of the outer hemisphere. Studied not
Long enough. In you, I sense great fear. You’re the subject
Of your own destruction—it’s quite clear resonating through the looking glass
That you stare. We’re cut from a cloth that’s type rare
Galactic, photonic, we embodied the alpha and omega for years
The legend of the legacy is near. The legend of the legacy
Is near
