CYNE - The River lyrics

I loved what I heard out there
That night when I listened
To you guys and I know you can do a
Hell of a job just put
A little harmony behind in
A couple of spots there and you got it going

(A one, two) i swoop a handful of Earth in
My palm while singing a song
Thinking of God
I wonder why we don’t get along
Searching for knowledge but not the type
You get in a college
Fuck a selfie scholar all I
Want is wisdom and honor
Son of my father but grew up
And got on my own
Wandering wilderness, delirious
Thinking of home got tired of begging for
Bread he dealing instead
Growing rich off the corner and
It troubled his head
Business man he became through the
Hurt and the pain
He caused the children of addicts
Are caught in a game
Leaving the spot and never went
Back to the block
Emptied his pockets and gave
The trashcan his Glock

First of all, my time on Earth ain’t definite
Change is the only constant that’s
Why I’m getting this
So you better do what you do
Stay in pursuit of
The dream like a fiend for a hit
Your ass screwed up
See, being there’s a time and
Space like right now to
Express yourself no joke, we fight clowns for
Getting to pass at last we moving on
Is that a safe way to
Escape fate? They’re all wrong
Song is hopping aboard a
Mission we Trans-Atlantic vision for truth
They all bitching like San Tomás snitching
Listen, we like the Moors of this rap game
We conquering the nonbelievers
Show ‘em we ain’t acting
Believe it we like the Moors of this rap game
We conquering the nonbelievers
Show ‘em we ain’t acting

It’s for the ones seeking some
Change that gratify life, see?
That’s why we write these words, sacrificing
Self for this moment in time we rhyme
While talking to the river, we’re sane
(Once again) it’s for the ones seeking some
Change that gratify life, see?
That’s why we write these words, sacrificing
Self for this moment in time we rhyme
While talking to the river, we’re sane

Yo, propagandists will play games
With no shame deceiving the world
So eat some cake but while the East await
Fate, Babylon’ll break sooner or later
Bet them chickens coming home to roost with 9
11 proof see, there’s a bitter truth
You niggas couldn’t swallow it, but, me
I’ma follow it
To death i should model it and do what I can
And if a nigga listen
This mission will soon be a plan
To make amends for a new
World that’s my utopia
Brave women and man, let’s plan
Escape the phobia
A lost generation found, breaking new ground
Sick of politics? Well, shit listen to sound
Off the MPC y’all are itching to be
Sling professor of the class
Number one MC that’s we
The Benin no need to ask why
You know what I came to do
And I ain’t a big shot

I walk across the globe
Feeling the dirt shifts between my toes
Hoping that no one knows the
Inner pain I’m feeling, though
(So)
It would be nice to convey myself completely
Instead of seeing "Deferred
Dreams" whenever sleeping spilling the milk
I cried a little bit for innocence
Lost over the years with
Peers following ignorance
Seeing beyond the here and now
Until the voice is gone
Instant gratification versus all the lifelong
Consequences of many bad life decisions
Standing out of the ashes, Lazarus has risen
It’s for the ones seeking some
Change that gratify life, see?
That’s why we write these words, sacrificing
Self for this moment in time we rhyme
While talking to the river, we’re sane
(Once again) it’s for the ones seeking some
Change that gratify life, see?
That’s why we write these words, sacrificing
Self for this moment in time we rhyme
While talking to the river, we’re sane
