Mohawk Steps Back (Ethylene Mix) - P.L.A.T.E.

They call us the leaders of the "Mohawk Nation" We fashion our lives on love and information We never fear a world of constant changes Even our closest friends began as strangers (I don't wanna I don't wanna) If there's a need, the need's to come together Religion divides, truth and love? They tether Never be fooled, in every thought there's power There may be another world, but this one's ours So, we say Everyday I don't wanna be a Chief Life Waster I don't wanna see a brief life wasted I don't wanna be a Chief Life Waster I don't wanna be a cheap life wasted I once knew a man, he served a certain function "I speak for God," he said, "So, don't ask questions Pray for this evil world and its destruction Don't think of the lives, no don't you Think of the good in them." It's sad and it's sick It causes segregation Fear of our neighbors spread across each nation We now rebel We see the world as people The top of our heads, yes, this is This is our holy temple So we say Everyday I don't wanna be a Chief Life Waster I don't wanna see a brief life wasted I don't wanna be a Chief Life Waster I don't wanna be a cheap life wasted I don't wanna be a Chief Life Waster I don't wanna see a brief life wasted I don't wanna be a Chief Life Waster I don't wanna see a cheap life wasted I don't wanna see a man wasting his whole life Serving hypocrites and lies I know women who are good Want to share their lives But they train true love to hide I don't wanna raise a child thinking we know all We've never seen it through their eyes So, I call you out to see it what you know is wrong Have you the courage to see light Can you say Every day I don't wanna be a Chief Life Waster I don't wanna see a brief life wasted I don't wanna be a Chief Life Waster I don't wanna be a cheap life wasted I don't wanna be a Chief Life Waster I don't wanna see a brief life wasted I don't wanna be a Chief Life Waster I don't wanna be a cheap life wasted We are the leaders of the "Mohawk Nation" We fashion our lives on love and contemplation Never be fooled - in every thought there's power There may be another world, but this one's ours

Seem like I take three steps forward, five steps back I'm perfectin' how I do it, I ain't tryna move back Just wanted to show you I could do it, I had to prove that Big trucks on the road, move like the president I know everybody wanna win I know they don't like how I hopped and put 'em on the bench I don't give my niggas handouts, put 'em in position Never been a crab, I wan' see all my niggas winnin' I told them if they sleep now, then later, don't wake up It's crazy, even in the Wraith, I'm ridin' with a gun And lately, I been surroundin' myself with day-ones Know they'll spray for me Hot, where you got this beat?

Look at your watch with a perilous gaze A troubled stare And when I ask where do we go Say you don't care Call on me When the day is dark Never too late, you're underrated Whatever your sins, whatever your loss Your cup is filled There is no way to turn back the clock No one will Call on me There's fire in your heart Lying in wait just like a lion Maybe we should go back to the earth And live off the sun Maybe we should crawl in the dirt Before we run A thousand years of art and song Love and war Tell me why you joined the club What are you fighting for All hands on deck A suicide race Prop up the good and smother the hate The wall is high the sun is low The four winds roar Wide-eyed children fill the streets To take back the score There is no truth That lies can make No willing soldiers in the wake Maybe we should go back to the earth And live off the sun Maybe we should crawl in the dirt Before we run Life is fragile The flight of a sparrow Will end And the same goes for us Born from the same rain and dust Maybe we should go back to the earth And life will grow And the river soon to return And a plan unfold Look at your watch with a perilous gaze A troubled stare And when I ask where do we go Say you don't care Call on me When the day is dark Never too late, you're underrated
