Ship shape for change
Few maintain 2 brave da pain , and embrace da gain
The pain is life , the pain is death From
first 2 last breath , only time will tell
If da ticket that U get trails 2 heaven or hell
For each & every choice theres a price 2 bare
Time throws scenarios , best beware of da brainwash
Cranes fight for market share
False prophets get slicker from year 2 year
Perception is all when the dice done land
Therell be a spanner in your plan if U dont guard your soul
Da renk head of hate soon takes its toll
And all because a fool cant swallow their pride
Hell terrains grip with perpetual slide
Babylonian flames burn bright
First strikes da inna slight , now the wounded roam
Grapping on thier own coz they know not how
They gonna learn 2 love 2 love 2 learn
We cry 4 the youth spread truth & stand firm
Close to da quest , yes Hot one
Tied to da quest , yes Hot two
Mental benchpress to see me thruX 2
The junction of life is da here & now
The test ever is the test ever will be
Step ahead with your good good self
Soldier proceed synchronized 2 da sound of da boom boom bap
Dont fraid the beast flack
They get a run for their last brown penny
We defend em with a passion
The enemy dont like 2 see world - wide hiphop youth in harmony
With a new found rebel flex & nuff love of self
Definition of discipline will soon take flight
Show the take prize & rise 2 da tide
Kick down dem door of perception , planet - wide connection
Live wire birth 2 a new found worth and a whole world of gerth
We dont stop big up all brave heart folk
We dare 2 defy Babylonian smoke
Close to da quest , yes Hot one
Tied to da quest , yes Hot two
Mental benchpress to see me thruX 2
I dont give a damn about ya postcode , know da mode
North 2 da southside , east 2 da west
Lay down da foundation , start 2 da protest
Theres a million & one ways 2 scan a nice rise
If U get that rise , how will U use that rise
Will U seek out ways 2 elevate your own
Or will U switch & start dancing tight 2 da snake
Inna lake of brimstone for living death sake
Warm 2 da wake my sisiter , my bro
No time for fakes , your inna eyes glow
Read up da signs , dem and fix up fast
It dont see cred , it dont see class
Tis a next plain of thought frame we flame
Adamant now we aim & burn off dachains
Close to da quest , yes Hot one
Tied to da quest , yes Hot two
Mental benchpress to see me thruX 2
