lyrics
callin out to the angels, like i need a little help here
i picked a fight with the devil, and i know he don't fight fair
had enough of betrayal, had enough of fear
callin out to the rebels, revolution is here
-
learnin how to hold my breath as water levels rise
burnin all my burdens till i reach the skies
livin every moment like i know i'm gonna die
cuz i will
and so will you
-
fragile as we are i know we're made of star
stuff that's tough, ya we came so far
to understand the prisonspeak and break these bars
apart, just don't wait for it to start
-
the art of liberation must awaken from within
to challenge every enemy that's hiding in your skin
but don't take it from me, i'm just a messenger from them
who? infinite, and they told me i was limitless
-
told me not to let it get my ego swole
focus on the consciousness inside my soul
knowin this is all i need to keep me whole
i know, i just gotta let go
-
flow across the universe in tune with my word
speakin for the people that are broke and unheard
listen to the messages in cages made for birds
break em out, watch em fly into the clouds
-
fly away from all the rage and bathe in the storm
feel the emptiness evacuate as grace takes form
your excellence just doesn't fit inside the norm
torn, then reborn
-
to be limitless, beyond their control
beyond borders, overthrow
limitless, uncontrollable bliss
ecstasy, you know you can't resist
-
(hook)
-
this life is storm, but we are the calm
this life was born, in the middle of a bomb
and the time is ticking, and the fog is thickening
as the end grows closer, the beginning might show up
-
and the system might blow up, and the livin might get rough
but i know that we'll have enough, as long as we got us
as long as we got trust, in our collective blood
we'll keep peeling away the rust, we'll keep crawling through the mud
-
don't ever be afraid to scream, don't ever let em clip your wings
and if they try to crush your dreams, then you let your rage sing
cuz we send in the rain to free us, and we revel in the pain of knees cut
and if they send death to greet us, we'll be comin back, like Je$u$
