C.Shreve the Professor - Catacombs Lyrics

In this life you...

In this life, you... are all you got as a reference
Til you learn to trust, but when it breaks you at the precipice
Mic specialist, on flight with no sedatives
Y'all been sleepin too much, end up missin what the message is
Now where the essence is? Now what's the nemesis
Hard to forget the past, that's your right now genesis
See now my premise is to follow where the lesson is
I see the postive and the negative in the evidence
They chasin dividends inside where the venom is
We in these rooms gettin treated like some elephants
Don't let nobody ever tell you what the limits is
Wanna see some losers? Well, point out where the cynics live
Now what your spirit gives? And put your air in this
Now feel your heart beat and put that where your hearin is
MCs claim they rippin raps but never tearin this
They say they imperial, the change is imperative

And they don't want us to do it, they want the status quo
They don't want the truth, they want the baddest flow
They watchin shadows like a light up in the catacombs
Find my own truth, man I knew I wasn't that alone
And they don't want us to do it, they want the status quo
They don't want the truth, they want the baddest flow
They watchin shadows like a light up in the catacombs
Find my own truth, man I knew I wasn't that alone

Mad stressed, yeah I feel how the pressure is
A long road tryin to achieve this excellence
Mad sick yeah the whole crew pestilence
It's God given so every line is reverence
Everybody roll up and then forget the messages
My verb body got em thinkin herbal essences
My lesson's is start and finish like sentences
From the top to the bottom on point, the center is
Connection, etched in time but all infinite
We been fuckin the game up with focus like celebates
Life is multiple choice, the noise is all definite
Pots callin everbody black on some kettle shit
We been tryin to shine like gold, now test the metal, shit
All bets off, I'm all in now we can settle it
Our light you ain't dimmin it, FTO syndicate
Its more than the sum of our parts, you can't assemble it

And they don't want us to do it, they want the status quo
They don't want the truth, they want the baddest flow
They watchin shadows like a light up in the catacombs
Find my own truth, man I knew I wasn't that alone
And they don't want us to do it, they want the status quo
They don't want the truth, they want the baddest flow
They watchin shadows like a light up in the catacombs
Find my own truth, man I knew I wasn't that alone
