drinking from the sun

i lay down my music ten feet from where i lay down

immersed in them beats

short breaks turned to breakdowns

'cause when you work where you sleep

you don't sleep

'cause you work on them beats till it hurts then you creep

into bed and wake her from her sleep

and she's hurt

cos she worked through the week and hasn't heard not a word nor a peep

from the jerk that she keeps in her heart

that she forgives when he nurse her to sleep

word it's deep

but yo when i peel them lids back and emerge from my sleep

i feel so big that i could make a shirt from my sheet

a crown from a church steeple

two jeeps for my sneaks

so people worship this creep as i surf down the street

i'm the surgeon of beats

your girl purrs when i speak

we rehearse in a church to a circus of freaks

we the last ones to lay down

first on our feet

so stay down or get hurt by what lurks in the deep

free the perps from the police

we disturbing the peace

we flood the streets like a water main burst and released

a merciless beast with a thirst for the feast

man we treat every meal like it's our first in a week

we dispersing the weak

i'm the person to beat

man i'm unbeatable; i can beat a person for weeks

we disturbed

we the freaks

we the ones you don't listen to

drinking from the sun

now son we're the ones dissing you

and we don't

we won't

we don't

and we won't let the vultures at the counter-culture

now we don't

and we won't

we move mountains and drink from the sun

we're timeless like riders on the storm

survivors like the light that rises in the dawn

if crisis makes fighters of the pawns

we rise up through the night as lifeless and we're born

fight in my heart

suicide with my art

till i depart i'm a write until i light up the dark

these are battle songs that lift you from your catatonic fixture

and i can walk on water but i stagger on the liquor

this ain't a saturday sport or matinee talk

with throw away sentences like the magistrates' court

scratch that

now hear me out

attacks don't give me doubt

i drop a powerhouse track black the city out

and when we lose it let the mood of music reach us

coming through the tunes that free us

revolution through your speakers

the third rock never stops the world turns

eyes glued to the clock as we watch the world burn

and we don't

we won't

we don't

and we won't let the vultures at the counter-culture

now we don't

and we won't

we move mountains and drink from the sun

renegades whenever on centre stage

that's my sweat upon the letters i bled on the pen and page

c'mon

so what's your rhyming worth? better get a lawyer 'cause

i could crucify your verse just to get a point across

we've been refining and grinding till late night

why? 'cause even stars lose their shine in the day light

linked as one just think what we'll become

it's begun and won't stop till we're drinking from the sun
