BOOK OF WAR Lyrics

Lots of lost legends on a song I been listening

Open up the pages on the book of war glistening

Lost my chance to meet an idol I'm still missing him

The wind carries melodies he left behind listen in

These the kind of rhymes that you'd find on a high tide

Glide out your pie as you try'n drink the salt brine

Let the sand slide down your hand that's a nice sign

Time to a man is a ride he must abide by

Cant get a look in it seems you mistook him

What you saw in the mirror ain't the same when you booking

Now you're cooking with a fire try admire how you're looking

Overtook the competition your position found footing

Sat on the shore see the moon touch the sky

Asking for more hope that soon I can fly

Act like you saw the real truth in the lie

Masking your proof in the booth like a spy

Getting on his last nerve feeling like dead weight

Acting like a bastard waiting for his head shake

Confronted by the master you faster but less great

The lesson learned after you passed out mistake

When I'm in a headspace I can't be touched

Spitting till I'm red faced my jaw seized up

Waiting for the bread break earn that deluxe

Watch where ya tread mate snakes prey keep up

Keep your high mate, stakes ain't there yet

Act all irate, don't seem fair yeah?

Not so lightweight , caught you careless

Call it a life waste I swapped my

Grass for the beaches empty glass beyond your reaches

If I'm passed around some leeches drain my soul the art defeated

Fall into a trance dance around the point stuck in the past

Easy fill the void and laugh easy fill the void and laugh

Easy to fall from a pedestal

Please keep it down cuz my head is full

King but no crown that ain't credible

Creating clout from a chemical

Calling in time because you're wasting mine

I see them signs you synthesise

Appeal is blind you fit just right

A d-list guy who's just alright

I had to take a step back

Now I'm here on the attack

Only get better the fact

I was just filling the gaps

Get better then you go find your timing

Only when planets and stars aligning

Hope that you master your craft inviting

Back to the past inspired by writing

Staring at the stars just to find a purpose

Pen a couple bars prove you're not worthless

Then it gets dark and you can't break surface

Then it gets dark…fuck

A lotta people can't seem to break that darkness

Fighting it ready or not regardless

Align mind, body and soul to harness

A light tide ready to roll forefathers

They put in the work so i can do this

I'll put in the work so my kids don't have to

Got to make it work act light and ruthless

Got to make it work because it comes so natural

What you're seeing right here poet in motion

And let's be clear that's just devotion

I put ten thousand in no potion

The pressure built brick by brick explosion

2023 the year of lightning

Many enemies in fear so frightened

Plenty can be seen just too enlightened

Revel in defeat it's at least decisive

Green draped round me like a carpet

My territory I see it then I mark it

Calm it.

Down Sell your soul at the market

Make a lot of money check your back there's a target

Harken. Back to the times you were harmless

Now it's deals out the back of the barbers

Nothing left of a man just a carcass

Steal and theft hide the hollow in laughter

You too old for your fam cuz their pathless

Never to old for a scam because your heartless

Father's money got your back that's for starters

Ask us. Is it worth it with no partners

After hours with the coward them your masters

Fast as. You ride to the top the rafters

Not got a legacy but jealousy charters

Readily available halo falls faster

Earn your lot in life you're a grafter

You're after a bit of limelight work faster

Disaster strikes it's time for departure

All the time we got is borrowed can't barter

Carry the weight of the world in your arms

Got to keep pushing can never be calm

Try and envision the future you can't

Stuck in the present and locked in the past

Led on the beach for a night in a trance

Swimming the waters of thought in the dark

Reaching for hope of support it's a farce

Everything cycles around it's a dance

Everything cycles around now

The tide will be soon when it's outbound

Try to make room to be proud wow

You came all this way you're allowed proud

These the kind of rhymes that you'd find on a high tide

Glide out your pie as you try and drink the salt brine

Let the sand slide down your hand that's a nice sign

Time to a man is a ride he must abide by

Lots of lost legends on a song I been listening

Open up the pages on the book of war glistening

Lost my chance to meet an idol I'm still missing him

The wind carries melodies he left behind listen in
