Guerrilla
(Make sure your tracks all covered
Your mask all done up
That axe all sharpened
The gasps when you run up
Make sure your people well protected
So it lasts for your loved ones
And find a good place to crash
Soon as the suns up)
There’s so many things that won’t last
Sparks that’ve been dead and before covered every facet
My head above the malice, but level enough to see what’s contrasted
Ever since I flipped the mirror on its axis
Knew what I was staring at from now and forever after
It was days that didn’t add up every task like finding the match with Excalibur
Then studying the art of war from the basics
In this rat race like what am I really chasing and which trail am I really blazing?
Where exactly’s the finish and does it all fall on me just to make it
At the crux of the mission I want all those involved to share in the banquet
But I don’t pretend the love is infinite sometimes I ain’t got no patience
I don’t pretend this life was made in the image of something that’s already been created
I remain true to myself in a world full of imitations
And even when it’s in vain I go to the well to source some inspiration
Make sure your tracks all covered
Your mask all done up
The axe all sharpened
The gasps when you run up
Make sure your people well protected
So it lasts for your loved ones
And find a good place to crash
Soon as the suns up
(Even in vain, I source some inspiration)
Nobody’s living life in a tunnel, but it’s a struggle just to escape it
Some gave their lives to percs, oxys, cocaine and ingratiated themselves to dull the pain with it
That same common dance with the devil, playing a game that’s never meant to win
But shit gets stark when you lose vision and wonder where exactly the picture went
At times I hear the same rhythm in my heart but can’t be listening
It’s part of it to get hit with some scars there’s none unblemished in this
But it don’t help that every door to move on is restricted entrance
So when you feel like you need resolve that bitterness entrenched
Wondering if it’s just missing the plot or it was written in this
Blood, sweat, and tears that we all gave in to get a glimpse of difference
And as soon as it all came to a halt, it resulted in partitions
Reliant on the cause of community spawned from division
Asking what do we value more unfiltered subjectivity or of common interests
All this contradiction, cause the same ones that’ll sell you the rope, want nothing to do with the business
But even if you chose to go it alone you ain’t removed from the chokehold of persistance
Just go ahead and pick a number
Make sure your tracks all covered
Your mask all done up
The axe all sharpened
The gasps when you run up
Yeah
Make sure your people well protected
So it lasts for your loved ones
And find a good place to crash
Soon as the suns up
Yeah
Make sure your tracks all covered
Your mask all done up
The axe all sharpened
The gasps when you run up
Yeah
Make sure your people well protected
So it lasts for your loved ones
And find a good place to crash
Soon as the suns up
Look
The solemnness in wishing the luck of the draw would be unending
When the apple never falls far from where provisions are given
Is all the more prominent when the character arc is coming along into fruition
In this world your definition’s the result of the odds and opposition
When you start to think you might have to rob whenever a dollars pending
Or self-preservation is all that’s garnered in being altruistic
It’s probably no dichotomy at all the lines have all been blended
What’s selfishness in a world where every project’s all done just to check off a wishlist?
And there’s no progress at all without a profit incentive
Until the Rockies recall the ghosts of Sierra Maestra, Hunan in autumn and winter
All the Potential’s been lost in the lot that’s been given
From afar plenty of bombs and provisions but none to part with for the living
All this dysfunction
Make sure your tracks all covered
Your mask all done up
The axe all sharpened
The gasps when you run up
Yeah
Make sure your people well protected
So it lasts for your loved ones
And find a good place to crash
Soon as the suns up
