lyrics

cut a line for the year of the ox
by the year of the dragon they'll be fearing the flocks
i mirror the lot - my main medicine is the fox
say, y'all prepare to attack when the shepherd gets dropped

check it out now how i'm seeing miracles
magic flowing over the globe in a spherical pattern
try to catch it and package it, call it rap and spit the fire fast
past all the lines that be wired-tapped
system crashing and i'm hearing it happen
no slacking, brother, i be tryna steer you to action
you get it? higher's where i'm tryna take you cats who be tired,
gonna blast all the liars and at last find a brighter path

the turtle clan call me "yells" for a reason
i'll hurt a man's ears and his self for believing in false memes
and spreading 'em clean just like a sauce, G,
where i'm from, two in the teeth for tryna floss, see,

i be strong-willed but look at what it cost me,
cain's mark on my forehead like a cross,
people staring at me, talking to my mans, say he crazy
maybe that's why i am making noise - cause you ain't be.

so you hate me for carrying the weight
you're ashamed to acknowledge your ability to take from me
i just hate money, cities and the fake stunting.
the palace guards make me really wanna break something,

but i been holding my hate for the summer of rage
and breathing love with my lungs and my face
now i'm stepping towards the destiny based
in our plan, hands high, we gon' chant as we bust down the place:

babylon crumble
babylon fall
miracles done when we break these walls
babylon fire
babylon learn
miracles done, we make babylon burn

mother earth rumble
mother earth call
miracles done when we break these laws
mother earth fire
mother earth turn
miracles done, we make babylon burn

babylon crumble
babylon fall
miracles done when we break these walls
babylon fire
babylon learn
miracles done, we make babylon burn

check it out now how i'm seeing miracles
mad heads fighting for some freedom from the killing fields
wack rappers vying for the mass appeal and silly deals
they don't feel this? fuck 'em. they ain't even real.

so i eat 'em but i'm hungry for another meal
taking on troy revealing my achilles heel
they put your boy in the mire and i'm still here
still spitting facts with the fire and the spirit

you got a rock, you don't pay for an axe
you got a glock, you can try it but i may be too fast
you can flow but your tracks lack facts
ain't saying shit, i been saying they wack

i'm saying, it's zack, filthy rich and bladel who's crack,
recognize truth before you laying on back asleep
we need you, don't be tapping out, please
you gotta help with the miracle feats

so i'll cut a line for the year of the ox
by the year of the dragon they'll be fearing the flocks
i mirror the lot - my main medicine is the fox
say, y'all prepare to attack when the shepherd gets dropped
