With each step
I'm stronger with ever breath
Oh yes, my whole crew's like a
talented tenth, uh.
A ghetto boy turned Dubois
Poor kind, trynna bring
His grandmomma new joy
The noise, failure ring too many bells
The jail system like cancer
To many cells
Oh well, hard lines, Raz
Fallen on hard times
Map stars, trynna find God signs
We all shine, in due time
Black souls is fine wine
In tune with the roots
Of the Gods we intwined
Uh, new flesh we entail for the new climb
Of any old road or mountain that inclines
Descendant of the slaves we upgrade
Like a,
Underground railroad equipped with a-trains
We gon get bigger chips
Flow more rigorous
Futuristic black man
They on that old nigger shit!
Chorus x2
It's Au Revoir! Peace God
I'm on to the next bar
My phones off and I'm already on mars
I don't budge, I don't Dodge
New Flesh no room for the old scars
