paradox & imperial - alive on arrival lyrics
one, two…
imperial and paradox reporting for duty…
yes, yes…
verse 1:
yo, we alive on arrival, uh, it’s so vital
giving tribute to the vision of those this life stifled
who went against the system, like christ’s disciples
dying violently for denying blind idols
spiteful vipers, still hissing like sidewinders
misleading any kids who will listen to pied-pipers
yep, they keep signing these lime-lighters
while we be trying to get ‘em the wisdom to shine brighter
brag about being higher than skydivers
but don’t have the stash set aside to buy diapers
rap like aspiring twenty-five-to-lifers
hyping butchery, pushing keys like typewriters
would you please change the subject?
the crazy down-dumbing makes my brain get upset
what’s next? umm, money, drugs, s-x
and how you bust tecs. haven’t we had enough yet?
yes? good, cuz mics provide platforms
so i teach when standing in front of each like blackboards
write bars for those whose lives are like a crash course
scars showing where we’ve been; stamps in a p-ssport
i’m demanding a tad more from me and mines
cuz we don’t see these rap tracks as just beats and rhymes
but freeing peeps from the evil traps that we’ve designed
there’s peace in the divine, so seek, and ye shall find
ohh, that’s some deep st–z to keep in mind
at least i strive to every time i’m speaking fly
since there’s no telling who my words’ll reach or why
i might slightly embellish, but i’ll never feed you lies
or pretend this is something you need to buy
there’s plenty senselessness already vying to bleed you dry
i’d rather use a pen and line to dry your weeping eyes
cuz when i’m finished, that’s a fitting image for me to leave behind
hook:
just wanted to let you know the listen is appreciated
cuz your ears are what’s been missing from what we’ve been making
i close my eyes when i write, so i can see your faces
and imperial loops dope material to keep it ageless
uh huh, with no need to be famous
if the lord gets his glory, then we can remain nameless
stop living to get sedated or inebriated
each moment’s a stepping stone on the road that leads to greatness
