Iron Solomon - No Other Way lyrics
[Iron Solomon - No Other Way lyrics]
HOOK
I'm from a bygone era in a washed up city
Where I won't quit kickin' 'til
The cops come kill me
I don't know no other way (naw)
No I don't know no other way (naw)
In the concrete jungle where
The crown weighs heavy
But the God don't stumble so
The throne stay steady
I don't know no other way (naw)
No I don't know no other way (naw)
I never been a worker bee
To abide by the plan
Or sell my soul to the devil
For the price of a gram
Never fell victim to the lies and the scams
More like the lion who's disguised as a lamb
God amongst mortals disguised as a man
Only care how I'm viewed in
The eyes of my Fam
Day that I day I'm a rise from the sand
Disappear into a portal in the skies of Japan
Til then my life's intense like a Bedouin
Always keep it moving stay one
Step ahead of them
First year student turned varsity letterman
New jack swingin' with the soul of a veteran
The oddball got the playing field leveling
Iron ain't the dude with whom to be metaling
Eating MC's and spitting up medicine15
Never regurgitate the lies that
Was fed to him
HOOK
I'm from a bygone era in a washed up city
Where I won't quit kickin' 'til
The cops come kill me
I don't know no other way (naw)
No I don't know no other way (naw)
In the concrete jungle where
The crown weighs heavy
But the God don't stumble so
The throne stay steady
I don't know no other way (naw)
No I don't know no other way (naw)
I saw the future in the
Cards read my own tarot
It said to only fear God and your own shadow
The revolution's televised through
Your own channel
While the struggle that's within
Is your own battle
I'm royal Fam from my skin to my bone marrow
Wear a crown full of thorns carry gold arrows
In the land of the lost I'm the lone pharaoh
To see my eyes is like
Staring down a long barrel
Tryina swim with the deep
But they so shallow9
Herd of sheep starting beef
Like they clone cattle
But I could walk bare feet
Through the stone gravel
Where the road's narrow
This the path that you won't travel
On the last car of the train
I made a map of the city
From my heart and my veins
Then I walked through hell and
Got charred by the flames
But I never let the pleasure
Get marred by the pain
Too cold to hold, too smart to be sane
Just to think these thoughts would
Leave scars on your brain
Still I shine through the dark and the rain
Ain't a goal I could set too large to attain
HOOK
I'm from a bygone era in a washed up city
Where I won't quit kickin' 'til
The cops come kill me
I don't know no other way (naw)
No I don't know no other way (naw)
In the concrete jungle where
The crown weighs heavy
But the God don't stumble so
The throne stay steady
I don't know no other way (naw)
No I don't know no other way (naw)
I'm from a bygone era in a washed up city
Where I won't quit kickin' 'til
The cops come kill me
I don't know no other way (naw)
No I don't know no other way (naw)
In the concrete jungle where
The crown weighs heavy
But the God don't stumble so
The throne stay steady

No I don't know no other way (naw)
