I am the future 
I am metaphor for war 
I take my medicine as I'm praying on the floor 
We see the future whats going behind our time 
I'm synthesis in motion I am freedom and decline 

Raise me to shine I cannot define my cracks 
Wash me aside when my levees finally break 
In opposition we are never free 
When our cause [bad word] our slavery 

The poet and the warrior 
The future or the way we were 
Stand down, rise up, we all know 
The secret to the life we chose 
So we are 

I am not escaping from who I am 
I am less than dead, reborn again 
We all won't get turned away 
All is forgiven when we pray 

The poet and the warrior 
The future or the way we were 
Stand down rise up, we all know 
The secret to the life you chose 
Stand down rise up, we all know 
Stand down rise up, we all know
