Lord of the Flies Lyrics

Can I speak?

The most important thing is

Who knows we're here?

Nobody knows we're here

They know where we were going

But they don't know where we are because

We never got where we were going

Where were we going?

We were going home

I saw my life flash before my eyes

My demons came forth in a dream and I thought I died

Organized my thoughts and I fought cause the strong survive

Sometimes to get ya point across you gotta cross the line

We was Lord of the flies, no law applied

Actions always tell you the truth when they talking lies

We was Lord of the flies, lost all our time

Grew up as savages but left it all behind

Gunshot alarms when you sleep in the slums

Guidance and safety what you seek when you young

Drown it out with a beat and drum

Give credit to my pops for never being a bum

Hit the streets so his sons didn't have to

Been in battles, stripped with shackles

So that the weekend will come

I knew that bob's nightstand where he was keeping the gun

I never needed it, but reached for it once

Irish and Puerto Rican, deacons preaching Jesus was the beacon of light

Still got them beatings from nuns, sometimes the teachers would fight

This ain't ain't no cheek and no tounge

They say you go to catholic school and graduate to be an atheist or priest and they right

Tell it on the mountain, plaster on houses

Plastic on the couches, traps for all mouses

Poison for the roaches, now we fancy with the outfits

Asking our accountants, passes for the spouses

Passing all the bouncers, like I'm Danny Ocean

Sunset, better known as the man in motion

Hand full of Motrin, still braggadocios

Wanna meet the connect when the parks closing

Just better make sure when you tread in these dark oceans

I saw my life flash before my eyes

My demons came forth in a dream and I thought I died

Organized my thoughts and I fought cause the strong survive

Sometimes to get ya point across you gotta cross the line

We was Lord of the flies, no law applied

Actions always tell you the truth when they talking lies

We was Lord of the flies, lost all our time

Grew up as savages but left it all behind

Mouthing my lines, closed eyes, ready for show time

Already got a open heart, I'm working on that closed mind

Waiting for a star to appear in the dark

I been trying to find a spark that's been right here the whole time

Close ties with felons whose only ties are for wakes

And they shirts are over sized pants don't align with they waist

And the jakes are doing sweeps like Cobra Kai at they place

But that ain't really ain't you, so you toe the line to relate

Racking my brain at the diner three am, mixing cuttin' pastin'

But you can't become saint if you wasn't patient

Another summer wasted, over tip the funny waitress

With the ugly braces

But that's a microcosm for us cause we gone be straight

Smiling in something spacious

I just want a sticky jar and a 100 acres

Avoid a outbreak, try not to catch a couple cases

They say that love's contagious, with all these covered faces?

I saw my life flash before my eyes

My demons came forth in a dream and I thought I died

Organized my thoughts and I fought cause the strong survive

Sometimes to get ya point across you gotta cross the line

We was Lord of the flies, no law applied

Actions always tell you the truth when they talking lies

We was Lord of the flies, lost all our time

Grew up as savages but left it all behind

What are you guys doing
