lyrics

Akin Yai

Old head on a freedom grind
Jit on demon time
Life currently
I say Nigga free your mind
Image and self esteem
Tell me what it all means
Black against empire, blood suckin vampire
Vicious cycle of the world but I can’t tire
Get off of TikTok and pick up a book
Chakras
Keep a balance cuz my energy field matters say I’m a real one, And I’m preaching the truth but
don’t let it go to ya head
So what are you?
I am Straight outta nubia
fam i’ve been studious
Dropped out them GHS halls
There’s no schoolin this
I taught myself Garvey
Proudly I can walk Godly
You ain’t gotta heart me
I love myself gladly
Flex weird
Ok fatherless sphere
I’m pinching myself make sure I’m still here
feel the power
Up for dumb hours
Some cower
Bow to the pressure
Them cowards
Aquarius age
Rage against the victor
Cuz now we (they) know
You a threat
No longer victim

Malcom Kwame (say my name)
Trayvon Biko (say my name)
Senghor Aimé (say my name)
Hero People

Nikki Keisha (say my name)
Sandra Mesha (say my name)
Nene Rico (say my name)
Hero People

(Nate Turner)

From indigenous roots
We be the living proof/
Children of the Most High,
Thank GOD for giving truth/
Preachers in the synagogue of Satan
be speaking that hatred.
We trying to give you knowledge and wisdom, these barz sacred.
Prophets and Messengers hoping to help the rest of us.
Trying to live life by example
But shit be stressing us...
Drama, trauma, we deal with reaping our karma.
Now we forced to be still...pray and meditate, Dhali Llama
I promised Mama... I will never stop the movement
'cause I was told that if you got a goal then keep pursuing it
Doing it from your heart and your spirit and you'll succeed.
No matter what the obstacles you just gotta believe.
Politicking with politicians...the game vicious...
Freedom really come in the spirit but we don't wanna hear it.
Not to mention they focusing our intention on fetters and traps that's meant to keep the people from ascension.
Now fabricated vision replacin spiritual missions.
Don't caught up in this hell we call the 3rd Dimension.
They steal our power with Towers through 5G
but my soul is not for sell
You demons can't buy me
It's time to break away from the chains and get free!
