Vezzi West - Grand Rising (feat. Drayon & Prophet Speakes)

We’ve all been affected by taking the road less traveled
The twist and turns, the ups and downs
And along that road we fell victim to the nonsense
Our only hope for survival
Is healing ourselves
Yeah
Polishing that rough rock turn it into treasure
Gems from the weights holding up under that pressure
Diamonds are forever
At least that’s what they speaking
Shifting vibrations, earth sinking beneath my feet and
Life is like quicksand trying to get control
Flashing lights behind you when you riding, they patrol
Low and behold when you see a stubborn soul
Led astray was the way until the day the truth was told
Far from perfection, time broken in sections
Hours, minutes, seconds we align to make connections
Surprise, surprise to all the obvious flexin’
Conversations replaced with automatic textin’
Glass pressing, getting rich quick lessons
Broken from the absence of integrities perception
Why you still sleeping, you ain’t know class was in session?
Cause you ain’t gotta be woke to understand you being tested
No questions
(No Questions)
And one day, an artist by the name of Vezzi West arrived in our city
With an outlook on life and a sound we never heard before
Unlike anyone else
He made a promise (Made a promise)
To save us all
(To save us all)
The clock keeps ticking wondering if it stops
Yeah, it took a long time my energies in a knot
Exhaling to break free the proof is in the docs
But docs give medicine keeping knowledge up in a box
Like an Animal caged with one key to unlock
Society doesn’t want us to be what we thought
They want us to believe that bullshit that they taught
But we smarter than the average bear Boo Boo stop
The planet is on fire, maybe it gotta drop and roll
Let’s take a poll, who making it to the top?
Yeah, yeah I know we applaud it and give props
To those more toxic to our culture than racist cops
Wrestling the struggle dropping elbows call me The Rock
To valuable to my people, you see we rising in stock
Believe it or not
They don’t want a brother to shine
But that’s ok I’m a light you can’t block
Ahhh
Stronger than an .. OX, and hurdle over any roadblocks
Fresh kicks and a new pair of socks
And expand my mind if I ever get writers block
808’s keep it shaking like an aftershock
Bow and arrow with the aim, slicing with the tomahawk
Yahh
This is more than some small talk
Speaking from the heart so I can’t stop
As he sits making beats and writing songs, a thought occurs to everyone listening
That a higher power has led us here to this point in time
And we’re forever grateful
Ladies and gentlemen
I present to you
Don’t Sleep
