lyrics

[verse 1: d’nae]
Should’ve seen it coming
Closer to water the way its running
(running, running)
With telepathy..
When I’m with you free my inner me
Not just any be...
Pray to god
Take all my enemies...
...Be consistent
Look, just be consistent
Narcissistic visions
Yea they cause statistics
Think that I’m a stickler
Way I mind my business
Checking off my hit-list
Spirits telling me...
Be persistent
You got it so heavenly...
Inner guidance
So light it’s inside of me
It’s so bright
Lose control
And just let it be...
Be me?
...Should I let it be?
Eric garner was crying
He couldn’t breathe
Trayvon martin was walking
Right down the street
And our fruit is still ripe
Hanging from a tree
Only thing that I see when I
When I…
And our fruit is still ripe
Hangin from a tree
Only thing that I see..

[chorus: savan depaul]
Well now we’re clearing it up
It’s the year of the punk
Now we’re clearing it up
It’s the year of the punk, oh oh oh
It’s the year of the punk, oh oh oh
(oh whoa whoa, yeah)
(yah yah yah)

[verse 2: savan depaul]
I stumbled upon the formula
Rumbled with closet warriors
Come with your toxin, store it up
Your crew?
I must’ve begot the four of ya
Sorry for not informing ya
Talk raptors in long grass
And rappers don't miss that
No ropes when I skin cats
Don’t joke with my syntax
Kick back like I'm ong bak
A jab push your skull back
Big crack where ya jaw at
Higher thought planes don't exonerate you
Those who populate I dominate you
Liken it to lichen, I’m affixed to the earth
Quick to emerge and harsh winter’s preferred
If an opp hops out, I ring the alert
Let the biomechanical innard deter
Secret society of one, hidden child
Keep lyrics cryptic while you kids are infantile
It’s wild
Racists wanna body you and throw you in the overgrowth over growth?
Goddamn!

[chorus: savan depaul]
Well now we’re clearing it up
It’s the year of the punk
Now we’re clearing it up
It’s the year of the punk, oh oh oh
It’s the year of the punk, oh oh oh
(oh whoa whoa, yeah)
(yah yah yah)

[verse 3: savan depaul]
When they wish to form a lie, we should formalize
Secrete the passion they’ll see with formal eyes
I refuse to lie while these harsh royals
Stay stoned on top like gargoyles
I’d rather fight wack administrations
I have to fight back with written phrases
Their hidden statements and system gaming
Put kids in cages for getting wages
Like shit’s degrading, pigs and rapists
Mingle daily with persistent racists
It’s amazing how shit became this whole pit of hatred within our nations
Darkness across all breeds
Poison spreading to our seeds
Few true messages cross feeds
And can even transmit across seas

[verse 4: d'nae]
And now
We’re past the point of
Stagnant captions
Rewrite the trials of history
With a new course of action
And sure as fast as it can happen
We’ll be lapping ‘round the
Planetary solar system
With discourse on fractions
Equality is not a dream of
Unrealistic fashion
When will the racists finally wake up
Their time is passing
Another cousin
From the tree of lineage is passing
A tragedy beyond retraction
Causin’ crowd reaction…
And just to tap in
The sentimental
Inside your mental
No accidentals
So called “officials”
Empowered by a loaded pistol
Hit like a missle
Breaking bones
And grinding gristle
Is what they're into
A twisted paradox with issues
Who wrote this issue?
We all got issues
With bells and whistles
Ringing to bring down the temple
But all we’ve been through
It’s now for us to..
Rise
Rise up
Rise
Rise up

[chorus: savan depaul]
Well now we’re clearing it up
It’s the year of the punk
Now we’re clearing it up
It’s the year of the punk
It’s the year of the punk
It’s the year of the punk, it’s the year of the...
It’s the year of the punk
(whoa, yah)
It’s the year of the punk
It’s the year of the punk, oh oh uh oh
(yah)
