Through Their Scope Lyrics

Every new path, provides a chance

For the white man to stop me tell me I can't

Or worse

Understand that death is always around the corner

And in my town it came dressed up, waiting for the foreigner

Or a person a being that looks different

Despite if they were unborn, elderly or an infant

I was exposed to the horrors of the world

Before I was born And that's how I learned

We were constantly in battle

Subconsciously we were cattle

But I believe god was protecting us

Until death, finally caught up

Knife to family

Honourable daddy

He kept me

Under wraps

As if hiding a disease

He con tracked

Or a con trying to land a job

Planted without no route to escape

To try and fail

To try and fail

Again and again

Or die in jail

Mistaken identity

But now I see, that's how the world looks at me

I used to Plead I was no threat

Till I grew too used to villainy

And here I stand defyingly

Through their scope lies me

These red dots sit on my face like acne

They Aim with marches

That seem to be pointed and at those

Who look like me, talk like me

That criminal activity

That dreadlock that hang free

That do no harm to these

But arise their insecurity

So through their scope lies me

And whos I be, to hide what defines me

So I'll talk how I talk, look how I want

Wear locks that drag across the floor every time I walk

I won't hide my heritage

I'll wear Kenya proudly on my wrist

And not feel fear when I go to a pub and simply sit

Simply sit

And as the path concludes

I wonder what to turn to

And I can't find the answer

Despite what I've been through

Do i take the easy route

And forget my hopes and dream

Or convey our message

And hope to make ends meet

I could embrace the standards

So the label signs me

Ensure that my music

Is seen

And with the deadline imminent

I don't know what's next, I'm hopeless

I just hope to correct this turbulence
