Take a long gaze into the fire, now as yuh transform slowly
See through cubic powered eyes, but all of them cokey
Crawling with a pace, always on a scene
Become a hero or a villain, or something in-between
It depends on who you ask, which stories they remember
(The) lessons the children learn, from the ancestors
Now go pass it down
We passing through
Who pays the debts?
Who defines the truth?
Wrapping string around yuh waist, to known when the food is ready
Look up to the moon in the sky, and now yuh feeling gladdy
(real gladdy!)
Collect up all the knowledge, but forget about respect
Climbing up the branches, fall down and break yuh neck
Consulting the spirits, transcribing what dey said
Limbo under the wire, or it might cut off your head
This is how we adapt; This is how we cope
Now we must adapt again, in an ever changing world
Playing tricks and catching kix
Dressing crips to catch it
Counting sticks, and taking lix
Throwing bricks and run
Playing tricks and catching kix
Dressing crips to catch it
Counting sticks, and taking lix
Blaze up, then look to buss out
Courage…without…
Courage and persistence, without wisdom
Cannot be vindicated, via dictum
You can’t define morality, based on history
That’s written by the victor, but lived by the victim
