Grand Rising (feat. Drayon & Prophet Speakes)

We've all been affected by taking the road less traveled The twist and turns, the ups and downs And along that road we fell victim to the nonsense Our only hope for survival Is healing ourselves Yeah Polishing that rough rock turn it into treasure Gems from the weights holding up under that pressure Diamonds are forever At least that's what they speaking Shifting vibrations, earth sinking beneath my feet and Life is like quicksand trying to get control Flashing lights behind you when you riding, they patrol Low and behold when you see a stubborn soul Led astray was the way until the day the truth was told Far from perfection, time broken in sections Hours, minutes, seconds we align to make connections Surprise, surprise to all the obvious flexin' Conversations replaced with automatic textin' Glass pressing, getting rich quick lessons Broken from the absence of integrities perception Why you still sleeping, you ain't know class was in session? Cause you ain't gotta be woke to understand you being tested No questions (No Questions) And one day, an artist by the name of Vezzi West arrived in our city With an outlook on life and a sound we never heard before Unlike anyone else He made a promise (Made a promise) To save us all (To save us all) The clock keeps ticking wondering if it stops Yeah, it took a long time my energies in a knot Exhaling to break free the proof is in the docs But docs give medicine keeping knowledge up in a box Like an Animal caged with one key to unlock Society doesn't want us to be what we thought They want us to believe that bullshit that they taught But we smarter than the average bear Boo Boo stop The planet is on fire, maybe it gotta drop and roll Let's take a poll, who making it to the top? Yeah, yeah I know we applaud it and give props To those more toxic to our culture than racist cops Wrestling the struggle dropping elbows call me The Rock To valuable to my people, you see we rising in stock Believe it or not They don't want a brother to shine But that's ok I'm a light you can't block Ahhh Stronger than an . OX, and hurdle over any roadblocks Fresh kicks and a new pair of socks And expand my mind if I ever get writers block 808's keep it shaking like an aftershock Bow and arrow with the aim, slicing with the tomahawk Yahh This is more than some small talk Speaking from the heart so I can't stop As he sits making beats and writing songs, a thought occurs to everyone listening That a higher power has led us here to this point in time And we're forever grateful Ladies and gentlemen I present to you Don't Sleep
