God in the Promised Land Lyrics by ManKind (SciryL & N8!)

Presidential Race Riots

2017

[Hook: Kaila Bulé and Luss Nigaglioni]
“There’s no angels in the sky
Whoever told you that lied
So I don’t even ask why
Or what happens when you die.” Then my mama said
“I see angels in your eye
That’s the reason that I cry”
She said, “The Devil is a lie, and I don’t
Wanna see you die another God in the Promised Land”
[Verse 1: SciryL]
Uh, she had stone-cold features
She said, “Stay home, don’t leave, son. Please
Please. The Sun don’t shine in this home either
Don’t let them feelings take over, trust your own either, just
Stay here. I’ll even let you smoke reefer, and what’s
That’s girl’s name you like? Mounika? Tell her, ‘Come here’ ‘cause
She’s not a soul-eater like that ho Tisha—I
Never liked her, I know that she the reason that your nose bleeding
Don’t leave. God can’t watch you like I can
And I don’t need a drone or a skycam for me to see
Or know what you’re doing, and my eyes can lie to me. I cry
But my intuitions working quite fine
I go crazy in the nighttime, waiting on the second when my
Light dies inside and I go psycho ‘cause
We used to talk. I ask you if you’re fine, and you
Always say, ‘Yes,’ but your eyes are like, ‘No,’ and
I know”
[Hook: Kaila Bulé and Luss Nigaglioni]
“There’s no angels in the sky
Whoever told you that lied
So I don’t even ask why
Or what happens when you die.” Then my mama said
“I see angels in your eye
That’s the reason that I cry”
She said, “The Devil is a lie, and I don’t
Wanna see you die another God in the Promised Land”
[Verse 2: !LLumiN@TE]
On the road to Damascus, domesticated the masses
Master Degrees hanging from the rafters, points on
The board, buzzer-beater, points at the Lord
Lord of the time Flies, know the score—this is overtime
Overdrive, Driving Miss Daisy through an open mine-
-field like a soldier from a broken line trying to
Duck a line of fire from fire, crackers that fire backward
At backward-hat-wearing black minors
Just for Minor League offenses, Triple-A and triple play
And Triple Fat Grey Goose—sip away. This ain’t
The Land of Milk and Honey, no manor in the sky. Even
Jesus kept a hammer at his side. A pencil in a square
A square root, pencil in the air
The reason why you’re sitting in a chair. Pinpoint
Stars and travel there—how we get so far? It’s far-
-fetched trying to live like God if your kids might starve
[Hook: Kaila Bulé and Luss Nigaglioni]
“There’s no angels in the sky
Whoever told you that lied
So I don’t even ask why
Or what happens when you die.” Then my mama said
“I see angels in your eye
That’s the reason that I cry”
She said, “The Devil is a lie, and I don’t
Wanna see you die another God in the Promised Land”
