lyrics

Oh I sense a mutiny
Oh would you be true to me
Or stab me in the back
Forget all the things you promised me

Neighbours blame neighbours
It lead to chaos in the end
While secret enemies plot and ready
To take the ends

They’re breaking us up
Turning prisoners into serfs
Should a been queen’s of the future
Picking up the dirt
Seems to me geography determines what you’re worth
In a system that makes poverty and tells us that it works

CHORUS
The Storm is coming
The Storm is coming in
So lock your windows and start praying

see your eyes are jealous as you see me on the rise
Standing in the darkness as I see through your disguise
Your traps’ll never catch me cos they come as no surprise
Our plans’ll never fall down ‘cos we never deal with lies

It’s too rough, the cloud’s have gone to dark
People forgotten just how to feel with their heart
I wonder which event hit me most, tore me apart
Death of loved one’s
Babie’s taken off in carts
It’s time we got some discipline its time the hood start listening
Yeah the jewels are glistening but most of us aint fitting in
Lots of sons are dying here, don’t mean to be prying here
But wise ones are steppin’ up cos nuff man just be lying here.

Chorus

Its just another kid in the skies, which one’s next and for what
Can’t sit and leave the fate to the rest
Some are blessed and leave with the P’s and good dress
But the ends stay the same just one less success…
Story, it’s boring, seeing the same old poor feeling sore
little more status and power than their sex
its not easy seeing broken faces up on a regs
see we all got talent but we feel like dregs

same feel of paranoia, when we see the fed
already done wrong just by getting out of bed
no wonder youth feel lost and they see the red
If kids initiate themselves then they burn down the fence
Its not easy this life, but don’t need to be so trife
Bad enough before Myron lost his sweet life
When you fools realise road struggles ain’t right
Put your arms and your pens to the real damn fight

Outro
It’s still a comin’ even if you close your eyes
You might want forgiveness
But its too late to realise
Kiss all your loved ones
Might be your last goodbye
Bless the sunrise
And praise the blue skies
