[00:00.23]Painted Scripture - Apex Zero
[00:00.39]Written by：OMeziah (Alexander Richard Tobias Theodore)/Apex Zero (Nathan Francois)
[00:00.87]
[00:07.19]We speaking scripture
[00:08.20]
[00:09.93]We speaking scripture
[00:10.96]
[00:12.38]Entering the realms
[00:13.15]We speaking scripture
[00:13.71]
[00:14.22]The dark realm
[00:14.81]
[00:15.43]Taking over bringing that rawness yo
[00:17.38]
[00:18.31]First and Last
[00:18.95]
[00:19.58]We're going to war
[00:20.39]
[00:21.19]We paint scripture
[00:22.29]We're taking them to war sun
[00:23.91]One time
[00:24.38]
[00:24.91]We're going to war
[00:25.81]
[00:28.28]Drowning in the desolate dirty dank depths
[00:30.87]Making moves in buildings dusty dutty rank steps
[00:33.17]Banks cheques clear faster than rotten beef
[00:35.21]Men who kill to eat munch a mouldy piece of pie with rotten teeth
[00:38.18]Besotten sheikhs
[00:38.86]Married to the cotton streets
[00:40.30]Cotton money
[00:40.98]Talcum powder
[00:41.55]Dynasties
[00:42.35]Hierarchies
[00:43.14]Slug slither through marquees at parties
[00:45.32]Shit is organised play gambits
[00:47.19]We're masked bandits
[00:48.15]Ducking like piranhas out of Transits
[00:50.25]Spread knowledge like acid butter disintegrating bread
[00:52.88]Spray education for forsaken brothers
[00:54.41]Covers topics that intimidates feds
[00:56.57]Makes may people resemble my dreads
[00:58.33]Step inside a temple and thread
[00:59.83]The future of the fibre of what every prophet stood for and said
[01:02.81]Mothered by dread
[01:03.69]Covered in red sweat and memories
[01:05.38]That transform to similes I spray at your brain
[01:07.79]I speak words that penetrate solo drops of rain
[01:10.36]Ripping all the hydrogen out
[01:11.86]Leaving nothing but O's
[01:13.06]Oxygen inhaled fast as Jet Li in Hero
[01:15.71]Makes men pronounce my name Apex Zero
[01:17.79]Top of they lungs
[01:18.62]Grabbing my suns
[01:19.51]Climbing up with spiritual rungs
[01:21.20]Constantly stung by drama
[01:22.58]Arrows that can't be blocked by no armour
[01:24.72]God gave Moses plagues
[01:25.92]The devil gave me rage
[01:27.28]Now the God inside of me is moulding it into a blade
[01:30.05]Fighting the battle that's His
[01:31.32]I don't ask the Most High to put a smile on my face
[01:34.09]I ask for the strength to put a smile on his
[01:36.13]I'm the opposite of men who sell their souls and their skins
[01:38.74]To cop another rock or hit
[01:40.31]People think that Gundon isn't poverty stricken
[01:42.16]It is here's the proof
[01:43.74]I know a brother whose family used to live on a roof
[01:46.56]This is the truth that aint told 'cause it's not appealing
[01:49.04]If you aint rich you stay trapped below this glass ceiling
[01:51.96]So most brothers understand the pain and anger that I'm feeling
[01:54.93]I'm feeling because
[01:55.85]We speaking scripture
[01:57.09]Use the colours of a day in real life
[01:59.11]So we don't paint a pleasant picture
[02:01.35]Spitting poisoned stones at the temples of our foes
[02:03.69]Spitting flows
[02:04.47]Ratings blow off the Richter scale
[02:06.86]If you Black Brown or your skin tone is pale
[02:09.45]Rise up
[02:10.36]Let me see your guns fingers fly up
[02:12.45]Wile out
[02:13.06]Like a man just made your brother shed blood
[02:15.25]Red mud covering our struggle is pollution
[02:17.76]Here comes the revolution
[02:19.18]My knowledge was suppressed and hostage in a world of lies
[02:22.04]They didn't let me fly like an ostrich
[02:24.19]So I crossed bridges
[02:25.33]Experiences turn you hostile
[02:26.71]
[02:27.26]Experiments leave you walking in circles for miles
[02:29.50]On this Earth's green fighting over grass
[02:31.69]But you're looking to kill the ones who snitch your name
[02:34.13]There's some walking 'round with no shame
[02:35.63]So we battle on fists clenched
[02:37.25]Hip Hop was calling like a bird
[02:38.98]And I heard and composed verbs
[02:40.93]And as this ball turns
[02:42.17]Lessons that we learn get harder
[02:43.83]In the name of the Son Ghost
[02:45.35]'Cause you never had the father
[02:46.70]I'm either hearing great lies through the grapevine
[02:49.02]Or certain royals are snorting lines
[02:51.00]Whilst others are inside
[02:52.14]So how can they define
[02:53.65]That governments get a cut of mankind
[02:55.63]When they're just masters of legal crime
[02:57.40]And every day the sunrises
[02:59.04]There's new ideas
[03:00.24]And new surprises
[03:01.31]And new criseses
[03:02.25]
[03:02.94]There's more than three blind mice
[03:04.51]Chasing after the farmers wife
[03:06.07]And I'm not one I'm just seeking to find inner peace
[03:08.51]I'm just dodging police on a regular basis
[03:10.88]And surviving in this urban grind
[03:12.78]Records make it hard to get a 5 to 9
[03:15.10]But the concrete road's there all the time
[03:17.09]And resorting to getting your own funds
[03:19.20]Own grade to bun
[03:20.27]And go higher into the secular
[03:21.54]
[03:22.07]Be heedful
[03:22.84]Not a weed fool
[03:23.92]'Cause there's cameras there inspecting us
[03:25.64]Going on like their protecting us
[03:27.55]They're leaking out gasses
[03:28.78]In their weapons of masses
[03:30.09]Corrupting existence
[03:31.06]So it's time to be vigilant
[03:32.44]
[03:32.94]Or soon we'll be extinct
[03:34.30]Or that can happen if the Almighty blinks
[03:36.78]And gets fed up of what he thinks
[03:38.53]We know a lot but our intelligence is limited
[03:41.06]It's prohibited
[03:42.02]The explanation the scientists give
[03:43.84]Could be fibs
[03:44.76]'Cause no one knows why we live or exist
[03:46.76]We speaking scripture
[03:47.58]Use the colours of a day in real life
[03:49.58]So we don't paint a pleasant picture
[03:51.24]
[03:51.76]Spitting poisoned stones at the temples of our foes
[03:54.19]Spitting flows
[03:54.68]Ratings blow off the Richter scale
[03:56.90]If you Black Brown or your skin tone is pale
[03:59.83]Rise up
[04:00.69]Let me see your guns fingers fly up
[04:02.74]Wile out
[04:03.27]Like a man just made your brother shed blood
[04:05.54]Red mud covering our struggle is pollution
[04:08.04]Here comes the revolution
[04:09.06]Scripture
[04:09.58]Use the colours of a day in real life
[04:11.69]So we don't paint a pleasant picture
[04:13.58]Spitting poisoned stones at the temples of our foes
[04:16.30]Spitting flows
[04:16.87]Ratings blow off the Richter scale
[04:19.30]If you Black Brown or your skin tone is pale
[04:21.74]Rise up
[04:22.74]Let me see your guns fingers fly up
[04:24.81]Wile out
[04:25.53]Like a man just made your brother shed blood
[04:27.51]Red mud covering our struggle is pollution
[04:30.12]Here comes the revolution
