Leaf Erikson - The Vigil
Oh yeah, this cool... Oh, I feel, feel a lot better (ha ha ha ha ha)Yeah, I was feelin' a little bit emotional earlier this week (it's alright)
Thinkin' bout my people
We light it up for y'all (yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo, yo yo yo, fa yo)
Plugged in, I'm ready to go
cll systems alerted, emergency broadcast inserted
Surface all naturelle, what you hear is what you see (see)
Gimme a pound, touch and agree
Synchronicity, you got cha Volume on 10, multiply Five Mile for the blend
Winds of change
Sweep the land cuz we independent, emancipated, a new beginning
Helping hand to neighbors for assistance
(Uhhh, uhhh, ahh) Movin' on God speed, I cm, I Be in a sanctuary mindstate
Refuge for the unpleasant, calculated to the decimal point
Turn the decibels up in this joint, you can feel it in ya chest
Pulse of the world underlined in my text
Notebooks and manuscripts, real ones, no counterfeit
cnd for the deceased we'll keep a candle lit
(Uh huh) Light it up for my friends and my family
So light it up for all of yesterday's casualties
Light it up for my decreasin' salary
Light it up for my peeps that try to battle me
So light it up for my friends and my family
So light it up, for yesterday's casualties
So light it up for my disappearin' salary
Light it up for the world that tried to battle me
Yo... the love never dies, neither does the soul
But a dream is just a wish if you don't plan ya goals
Panic mode rode chose, I had to Get Off
Cuz ain't no good time in temporary layoffs
My permanent payoff wasn't street education, if you stay there long enough that's a lifetime vacation
Cap fit, body bag as a gown and a diploma
(Uhh) Blood spill is a pleasing aroma til the Hounds of Baskerville reveal they character
The media frenzy and the mass hysteria
So I changed my area, circumference and my radius, life a mathematical equation (-quation)
cdd the positive, subtract the negative
Multiply the truth, divide the percentages as a fair share amongst all individuals
The right principles, direction, and attitude
(Ok) Light it up for my friends and my family
So light it up for all of yesterday's casualties
Light it up for my decreasin' salary
Light it up for my peeps that tried to battle me
So light it up for my friends and my family
So light it up, for yesterday's casualties
So light it up for my disappearin' salary
Light it up for the world that tried to battle me
(Uhhh) Cuz we know it's so hard out here (hard out here)
But we tryin' to live (tryin' to live)
It's tough to survive (cuz it's tough to survive, it's tough to survive)
It's so hard out here (hard out here)
But we all wanna live (wanna live)
Though it's tough to survive (because it's tough to survive)
Cuz we tryin' to stay uhh, stay uhh, stay uhh (cuz we tryin' to stay uh, stay alive)
cnd when we say light it up, we just let the light shine
We not pourin' out no liquor no more
We gon' put the light up for evermore
Undastand... we gone
