[Intro]

Yield up, O love, thy crown and hearted throne
To tyrannous hate!
. . .
Now, by yond marble heaven,
In the due reverence of a sacred vow
I here engage my words. (Othello 3.3.448-462)

[Jus Allah]

This ain't rhymes, its evil command
From the demon you'll see again
When you're asleep in the sands.
I'm all action, speak with my hands, crack a tree branch.
Allah elevate to the peak of advance.
Each line meditates so deep it's a trance.
If I told you to hang yourself, you'd leave with the chance.
When you hear Jus Allah, it's not a reason to dance,
What you see is enhanced, what you believe in expands.
This is serious shit, it's the area's lit.
There's no aim, I just hate whatever I hit.
Natural god, master in charge, battle the odds,
Never stray far from the path of our laws.
You made up, slapped together and taped up.
You fake fucks lay face up or you shape up
Soon as I spit it out, niggas wake up, epiphany.
Black wizardry. God lacks mystery. God lags misery,
Even if I have to kill every damn devil in Hell to get the victim out.

[Wise Intelligent]

I'm not your gangbanger, nine-to-nine crack slinger,
Turn heavy-rotation rap-R&B singer.
Fear nothing when I walk the street,
Spare nothing when I talk the beats.
I build a school where the gats blow.
I mobilize black cashflow.
I'm like Jay-slash-Castro,
I'm Mister Revolution.
I play the bully in a whip, a-leanin'.
All the praises do the lights meaning.
Ghetto youth singing.
And, when a nigga barely eatin', I make a conscious move to keep the teachers.
Kiss the son of slaves. I'm black roses on my mother's grave.
It's time to turn another dolly page. Behold the Book of Life.
I raise the dead and give your hook the life,
I shake the planet and produce gods.
Call me the best Noah.
My eyes reflect the youngest son of Noah.
I'm so much more than just the average flowa.
Do the knowledge to me.
I'm who your favorite MC tell his kids about,
Then try to front like he ain't wipe me when my shit come out.

[Sabac Red]

I shot fear in the face,
Cut off the head of ignorance,
Slit the throat of racism
Fought in the best with militants.
My diligence equivalent to God
Bookin' life safaris,
I scar and torch your editor
Force competitors to deflect what I'm speakin'
Call me an official god-force,
I'm a descendant of Aethra.
Impeaching Presidents for people lacking the funds,
Hijackin' Air Force One,
Kidnap the first born son.
Reattack 'em with guns,
There'll be stoppin' for fun.
My energy has tendency to flee and blacken the sun.
What's happenin', done.
It seem's you're afraid to rise up,
Just a dream with no action,
Spend your day with you eyes shut.
Wise up, this is God, this is the wicked.
Evil exists if you let it
Find this in the scriptures
I feel alive when I spit this
Pull a nine within inches
Of these snakes in the trenches,
Got my eye on these bitches.
This is a war of the minds, and I'm passed the scholar phase.
Now a jealous phase like suicidal rage around the holidays
Follow him on this road before you're crippled and old
Freedom's a gold,
The only thing that you sold.

[Outro]

Yield up, O love, thy crown and hearted throne
To tyrannous hate!
. . .
Now, by yond marble heaven,
In the due reverence of a sacred vow
I here engage my words.

Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
