Brother Ali - Three Day Journey lyrics

"I sometimes feel like I am impersonating the
Dark subconscious of the whole human race"

To touch me is a luxury
That most never experience a Lyricist
Loungin in the shadow where my spirit is
I'm baring this cross for so long
There's not a care in this world that
Can cause me to join the heretics
I carry this solution inside
And can't express it i try to shake the Word
And escape the adolescence
The lessons that God taught me
Won't let me rest easy
There's no escapin' this whole
Creation that sees me
I be a ray of light amongst the dark
Half of this poem I write
In the night I travel alone
Mappin' my own route
Tryin' to pull out as soon as possible
Because every new person I meet
Is a new obstacle
? oracles I speak with are bleak with
Forecast if I keep this damn, I got a secret
I seated in a hull of a ship
My destination unknown now
Forsaken my Lord I'm all alone now
And lack the know how to show
My folks how to make it
Motivated by the hatred in a
World where nothing is sacred
My knees shakin' my blood runs cold
I start tremblin'
My heart dangling by a thread
Voices in my head say

All I know is I don't wanna know what I know
To be in this position (Hell no)
I'm going fishin'
I'm sorta wishin' my people didn't concern me
(But they do)


Up above I hear the waves rushin'
Heart bangin' like percussion
Mucus in my lungs slushin'
Just then, two men seize me
Release me among strangers
One spoke for him, his voice reveals anger
"The danger that we're in is because of you
We don't know you what's your name?" "Jonah"
"We're gonna have to throw you over"
Before I knew it I was
Movin' toward the ragin' sea
Then creation turned against me
There's no savin' me
I should call out to God but
What's the chance of him answerin'?
A more disobedient man, there hasn't been
There's no chance for me
So fuck it I'll drown
I'll just relax and let the
Strong current take me down
As I approach the abyss with body and soul
Yo, this large mouth fish swallowed me whole!
From the belly of the ship to
The belly of the fish
And the only thing that my
Brain thinks is this

There is no escapin' this situation
I can't even die
I ran out of tears and can't even cry
I broke down and saw God
I should have followed his plan
Then the fish went and spit
Spit me out of the land i land on dry land
Hot sand scorchin' my steps
Sunlight burn down on my neck
A little plant grew up around me
And shade me with leaves
It's a three day journey to
My people I believe as long as I'm livin' I
Can still accept the mission
I'm fishin' for those who can
Listen to this religion
As long as I'm livin' I
Can still accept the mission

I'm fishin' for those who can
Listen to this religion
