[Verse 1: Donte]
We end nights asking ourselves for insights
In spite living trife under very dim lights
My pen writes, unveil rails that extend life
Power equals energy‚ the only reason men fight
But if we fight‚ you'll be thin slice. I make
Men and mice behold the pale horse that killed your kin twice
The end price‚ I been winning heights
Then descend light and order the Earth to begin life
Before birth, I seen the world for what it’s worth
The water, the dirt‚ triggers, niggas slotted over turf
They been ransacked, attacked. Man‚ get your land back
Our revolution's evolution of a playing jack
[Verse 2: Talib Kweli]
We lit the candles in the lot and have a hip hop panel
I'm undiscovery that travels throughout the channels
And getting graphic, peeping National Geo, I’m classic
Like if they found fossil fragments from the era of Jurassic
When they digging in the Congo, history will tell us
My gravitational pull will balance out the planets
People is passed out like Jehovah's witness pamphlets
After they seen the crystalline elements in granite
And then they realize the hardest shit got jewels in it
And a rock without no mineral is counterfeit
I seen Neo Tokyo fall a thousand times
Japanimation details destructions of the nations
I suppose it got something to do with Hiroshima
Nagasaki, fatalistic like a kamikaze
[Hook: Donte]
Civil and silent wars, tyrant, violent wars
Spar in Star Wars, face-first, race wars attempt
To take mine. In battle, I take yours
(“Race wars”) Check it
Civil and silent wars, tyrant, violent wars
Spar in Star Wars, face-first, race wars attempt
To take mine. In battle, I take yours
(“Race wars”)
[Verse 3: Donte]
Simple mathematics
Sending dead flowers in the attic
Implies sporadic jokes, volts of pure static
I'm an energy freak. Through heretics, I'm democratic
The DNA and genetics. Hate makes peace synthetic
My crew'll set it from the glorified to pathetics
Follow the wrong leader in your flesh with dianetics, I bet
You need someone to save your soul ‘cause Simon said it. Instead, it
Should be embedded in your head, you give the credit. No need
To be indebted, save yourself, fuck the medics
‘Cause power begins lies, paralyze
Peace starts within, keep an ear to the wind
You hear it again. Over here, we don't fear men
[Verse 4: Talib Kweli]
Like I said
“History will tell us,” but you choose to walk around
Blind like Helen Kellers. I stand amongst the stars
So call me interstellar. Yo, fellas, say
“Peace” when you up in my face, don't be jealous. I
Have no time to make foes with my black prose
When my raps make stars collapse like black holes
As some Bose got speakers blown out like Afros. I'm the
Best messiah to ever quest for fire. Now niggas
Run through the city like fresh burners with heaters
I deal with people, ain’t concerned with no leaders
We make everything peace like it was before, we could
Peep the streets and have style wars, stay on
The front lines, metaphors and punchlines, it’s yours
I don't want to see no more wars
Enter your brain like Moores did Spain, right?
Stay peace, your mind’ll reach insane heights
[Hook: Donte]
Civil and silent wars, tyrant, violent wars
Spar in Star Wars, face-first, race wars attempt
To take mine. In battle, I take yours
(“Race wars”) Yo, yo
Civil and silent wars, tyrant, violent wars
Spar in Star Wars, face-first, race wars attempt
To take mine. In battle, I take yours
(“Race wars”) Check it
