Victory (come Forward) Lyrics

Victory (come Forward) lyrics

[ CHORUS ]



Victory



Ours are the cries that breathe life in the concrete



Victory



Ours are the tears that splash genius at God's feet



Victory



Ours are the prayers that weave poetry through drum beats



Victory







[ VERSE 1: Brother Ali ]



Step inside the mind of a soon-to-be legendary



Straight paramilitary



Brother Ali exist to read the scripture, it's never read



Whoever said this underground hip-hop shit is dead



Must have fallen on his head



Spent my lifetime buildin



Writin rhymes I remind rappers of everything that scared them as children



They call me show stopper



No opera singer has hit the exact pitch, I spit my flow out of



Taught directly by the source of all knowledge



You don't affect me till you're forced to draw powers



Respect me as a voice amongst scholars



Who speak deep to thee, move the sleep from your eye lids



Make your lungs flutter



Get it right, my inner light cast shadows on the sun, brother



I'm where the rubber meets the concrete



It's a cold world, not sayin bring your your own heat



I'm just sayin don't sleep



I'm walkin with the lion till the day that I die



And the pens have been lifted and the pages have dried



And a big smoke screen wrote my name in the sky



Politickin with the angels knowin they would reply



Got the lungs of a cyclone, tongue of a python



The reason why your favorite MC sleep with the lights on



Right on, brother, we def as fuck



Not 'deaf' like (What?) but 'def' like (WHAT!)



From the depths around the planet where my name's spoken



We here to get our brains open and our chains broken



Watch me walk around the planet with the same notion



His adversaries thought the pain broke him



But we run up in a stadium with diagnostics



Two tables and a mic and take a crowd hostage



And the very first item on my list of demands



Is that all these freedom fighters start liftin they hands







[ CHORUS ]



To my freedom fighters and the graffiti writers



And the people like us - come forward



And to the torch carriers speakin Arabic 



Ridin on your charriots - come forward



To my political prisoners, individual listeners



Who feelin this - come forward



And to the bone shakers and the home makers



Raisin our own saviors - come forward







[ VERSE 2: Brother Ali ]



Me and my people are signed, sealed, delivered, incorporated



brought to your by Rhymesayers Entertainment



You got to face it, we not complacent



We came for your debasement and left your face bent



And me, mister Brother Ali is the stomp-down-beat-kicker



Who walkin the streets with the so real philosophy



Until I fulfill prophecy there's no real stoppin me



Obviously I'm the bomb, believe me



Opponents come up missin and they all beneath me



I know my soldiers need me, they call and beep me



I walk the streets freely with ( ? ) beneath me, boy



We stays gettin it on



Act hard and I probably make you strip to your thong



Dissin your song and feel you mouth to fist when you yawn



Nibblin on a rapper till the gristle is gone



I stand and sing from atop Mount Ararat



I am a king, just ain't got my kingdom yet



And my anthem ring from the Congo to your set



I'm Alfred Hitchcock with my silhouette



Pourin Blood On Beats till the trumpet is blown



Coffins, I release em when I'm up in the zone



Fortune favors the brave and press on is the motto



Cast shadows on the sun with my bravado







[ CHORUS ]
