Verse 1 (Intellect):
As the sun fight with the clouds, my skin stay brown
Todays a new day so Im off like a toupee
I grind for real like I work in a cave and mine for steal
So we ain't gotta cry for meals
I pray that, I say that, I never stray back
My life play in rewind so Ima press play back
They tryin' to put the sun down like a sun set
But I aint done yet I lift 'em up like dumbell sets
I stand on both feet never bow down
On these cold streets the block has renounced
Took fades all day came home with blood stains
Mufuckas' turn they back, the world so cold man
But now Im back blowin' up like a rasta do
Still on tracks and Im preachin' like a pastor do
Nutrients is drained from the hood slow
Adolescents smokin death and seeds will never grow can we live in peace?
Hook x2 (Intellect & Jedi):
Such a crazy life, we ain't livin' right
Caught up in the grind all the way to midnight
Up in the mornin', we chasin' dark clouds away
We chasin' dark clouds away
Verse 2 (Jedi):
Black and whites on the watch in the midnight
Mother prayin' that her children gonna live right
Guns out in broad daylight pullin' triggers on plain sight
Young teenagers in the alley smokin' kush so high
40-ounce pistols and women, blue denim, bloodin' and crippin'
Take a listen see how we livin' might get your mind clickin
CA just ruthless, walkin' around shoeless
Poverty in the beach, ain't showin' no improvement
Locked down livin' day by day textin' families
Writin' letters thinkin' God gonna make it better
When the military doin' dirty work for the bosses
It's fuck that, we ain't takin' no more losses
I don't love 'em, we chasin' dark clouds away
Flush out the negativity that's runnin' in my veins
Kids without a father, youngs without a role model
Look into the corner streets doublin' all the extra trouble
Hook x2 (Intellect & Jedi):
Such a crazy life, we ain't livin' right
Caught up in the grind all the way to midnight
Up in the mornin', we chasin' dark clouds away
We chasin' dark clouds away
The name nods to ancient Egypt, the band includes progressive British jazz heads, and their sound is fiery and mesmeric.
