Volume - Hassaan Mackey & Apollo Brown

Rain comes down but he holds the mountain Yeah, blue like sky, can you tell me why? Yeah, he sports him this way, a child at play Open up my lips but what's there to say? Come play, come play As the river runs down, as the river runs through As it runs through the field with all his companions This is the scene of the most enchanted I am a drunken fool Drunk off the love that holds up the moon Drunk off the love that binds me and you to the most high Just close your eyes and hold me No harm will befall you, volume And that's what is spoken to me When I turn down the volume, volume Volume, volume, volume Time has come to speak of this love Spread your wings of your song and soul To maintain internal heights above Close your eyes and feel it unfold Rush like a river from the highest mountain Drink from the fountain and stop your counting What kind of wine does he have in his tavern? Oh, so enchanted and sing like a mad man Mad with the love of a wife for her husband Child or mother, sister or brother Rain and the thunder, the rain and the thunder Sing for the most high, sing for no other We are all notes in this eternal song God plays His flute and we all dance along Close your eyes and hold me No harm will befall you, volume That's what is spoken true When I turn down the volume, volume Volume, volume, volume Hold up the sky, no asking why How can we know if we don't even try? Hold up the sky, no asking why How can we know if we don't even try? Hold up the sky, no asking why How can we know if we don't even try? How can we know if we don't even try? Just close your eyes and hold me No harm will befall you, volume That's what is spoken true When I turn down the volume, volume Just close your eyes and hold me No harm will befall you, volume That's what is spoken true When I turn down the volume, volume When I turn down the volume, volume When I turn down the volume, volume Volume, volume, volume, volume Volume, volume, volume, volume

Just look at us, everything is backwards. Everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health. Lawyers destroy justice. Universities destroy knowledge. Governments destroy freedom. The major media destroys information and religions destroy spirituality. That's where we are! "As you look... up to the sky Oh God" Uh. What niggas be saying? Church. Hahaha. You're gonna "church" your ass all the way to Hell nigga. Deliver us from evil. Amen!

Freedom is not free I wanna know why Officer Darren Wilson didn't go to jail For killing our brother Micheal Brown, I wanted to know why I wanted to know why Goerge Zimmerman didn't go To jail for killing Tray von, I wanted to know why And the reason is because America is at war the black man You do not go to jail for carrying out your responsibilities to your state That's why no police will ever go to jail for killing a black man Because war has been declared on the black man It's the black man who simply won't accept it Look, the art of war, is a meaning behind a message You don't need a gun or a sword if you treat your mind as the weapon Our colours is hidden, there's secrets teachers hide in they lessons History books was full of people with white complexions Reach the heights your destined, nigga, we define our essence, uh Took my rap money, made a team from our investments Get my family out the hood, the only reason why I'm stressin' Small city but niggas carry heat the size of precious Look, I speak on shit you other rap niggas nervous to say The purchase I pay, more than most niggas earn at my age My purpose was made, from my birth, was determined for grade The land of the free, unless your black you served in a cage For my niggas behind the wall tryna learn or betray You get free and they make it hard just to earn up a wage You either return to the cage or get murdered in graves That's the power, how racist judges could turn us to slaves We celebrate one hundred and fifty years of freedom, did ya'll know that? Since 2015, one hundred fifty years, what do we got, black folks? Where's our airplanes? What do we got? Where's our supermarkets? What do we got? Where's our schools? What do we got? Where's our banks? What do we got? A hundred and fifty years of freedom, whatever Yo, compared to the wise 'cause went to war with just my ears and eyes The greatest victories come to those who prepare when it's time Inspired by mum and seeing mommy with tears in her eyes Smokin' cigarettes while she playin' out Mary J. Blidge Racist cops shoot at our kings, they even got a noose if you free One shot could turn your blood to a pool when you bleed Poison our mind, even poison the food that we eat Choke us out in broad day 'til we can't move or can't breathe I'm the female Mansa Musa to the niggas Generational wealth without playin' a due for my niggas I'm the palm reader, look how I hand of future the niggas Was music to my ears so i hand a flute to my niggas All praise is due to the highest as God protect me I'd give you food for thought but my diet was Dr. Sebi Kings killing kings won't get to be led, let it be violent What's worse than being physically dead is mentally dying America has the highest incarceration rate on the planet And most men, black men in jail Are in jail for non-violent, drug-related offences In other words, he was sellin' crack and heroin on the street Because he couldn't find a decent job Through which he could earn enough to take care of his family So who is responsible when the black male is miseducated Economically castrated, comes out of jail Cannot find any opportunity to set his life for right? Can't get welfare, can't get healthcare Can't get public housing, can't get student loans So he breaks the law again and goes back We look at him, how about the system? Freedom is not free

But now, love is so much better And Lord knows, if my words don't come together Just listen to the melody Cause my love Is in there" "Just listen to the melody" "Just listen to the melody" "Just listen to the melody" "Just listen to the melody" "Baby" Yo what's the deal love? I know it's been a minute Since I set aside time just for us to kick it But you know how it is in this biz You gotta go and make paper from these numerous gigs But, you the reason why I keep it going The threshold to my honor, a privilege that I'm blessed to know and Even through rain, hell or snow and Regardless to the stress you still push to keep the love flowing I done had a share of love that done came and went Lacking the patience it takes to build an establishment You like a diamond in the rough to a cave of wonders You got the treasure that could split a man's heart asunder When the world starts to rain and thunder You're the bridge of support that I go and seek shelter under From cold winters to the hot summers You're the love that I cherish that be, there ain't no need to wonder If you think I ain't feeling your scene I urge you by all means just, "just listen to the melody" When you think the communication is low And you just wanna know just, "just listen to the melody" When you wondering if I ever miss you Whenever I'm not with you just, "just listen to the melody" And that's my word, regardless to our problems in the world Just know that you gon' always be my "baby" We disagree on a lot of topics But life itself is a test sometimes you gotta weigh your options I use a vision that's microscopic When it comes to our family's future within a world of carnage I never thought I could cherish something that's special So I thank my Lord on the daily that He wrote to send you And my life as my wife, I never would've guessed it You be the blessing of foundation that's manifested I know at times we done gave each other some drama But the making of process made me a father A gift I could never trade The best thing you can have in this life by me within the last days This is just a beginning phase Of what's to come as we strive together seeking the Lord's face You my Khadijah, I wouldn't want to be without it You my completion of life and that's without a doubt Real love. uh huh... yeah
