I heard it's one way, one way
I'll do another way, another way
Cuz I don't want to do it their way
That's why I left school

(Verse 1:)
One for the culture and ___ getting sober
Health from within how we taking up our throne now
When this tech shit try to play us like controller
We gon think bigger than the boxes than we scroll on
When you see kids, you are looking at your elders
Look at your elders their spirit is the youth
At one point in time collapsed, delivered back to you
Gotta know yourself, know your history, your truth
Everything is influenced
We careful who you sittin with
Chest full like my plate carrying the sentiments
Of all the generations front and and back of me the pilgrimage
Keep my mind in tact while I gather where my spirit is
(Chorus)
I wrote this for you now
Just wait, just wait
What's waiting for you now
It's great, it's great
I promise
(x2)
It's waiting for you
Don't worry your brain
(x2)
Verse 2:
One for the culture and ___ getting sober
Health from within how we battling corona
I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't kick it
I'm a soldier
Be who you want
Every day is a do over
Saw it once in the mind
Saw it twice in real life
Cause we got a workshop and it's right between our eyes
You could make a curse stop
Every time you conjure light
You could make reverse karma free your family of the bind, yea
Can't nobody tell you what you're s'pose to do, yea
Can't nobody hold a limit over you, yea
Deliver your magic it is overdue
Deliver the world from the old to new
We ain't no newbies been here for two weeks
We've spent lifetimes right on this blue beam
They don't fight crime they bring it to streets
They build more cages to cage in our whole team, nah
I [say] we get organized
We fight for life because we know we never die
You take our bodies, our money with overdraft
Floyd will still be a twinkle in his daughter's eye
The season of torment is ending
It's falling, it's raining it's fallin
Cleaning the naughty the evil the scarring it's cleansing us wholly
Whollly
I wrote this for you now
Just wait, just wait
What's waiting for you now
It's great, it's great
I promise
(x2)
It's waiting for you
Don't worry your brain
(x2)

(Chorus)
We ride the tide when it's on the high
We know the cycle take all the time (x2)
You think you can hide but you can't
You can't hide from it
You see what's inside of you, yea
What's inside
(x2)
When's the last time you felt your silence
Dissipate emerge the flyest
When's the last time you woke up crying
Cuz you are alive there's no denying
When's the last time you cried the end
And found right then it start again
When's the last time you melt your fear away
And can't nobody make you feel a way, aye
You know your goals keep you golden
Not all them folks keep you focused
Distractions come in each and every form yea
They passin' is you hittin' on they blunt, yea
I think it's bammer bammer
They talkin' bout them choppas and them blammer blammers
Tryna stop the violence can we get together
Cuz them are my cousins and my sister, brothers aye
(Chorus:)
We ride the tide when it's on the high
We know the cycle take all the time (x2)
You think you can hide but you can't
You can't hide from it
You see what's inside of you, yea
What's inside
(x2)
