To The Gates Lyrics by Mazbou Q

AFROTERNITY

2020

Yup yeah
Grip tight while I stoke these flames
One more time, there is no replay
I can't let go, I’mma hold these chains
One day I'll look back and it won't be pain
But right now it comes and it goes in waves (Waves)
Never thought I would go these ways
I don't sell out
I don't betray
Nah I won’t be strong
Nah I won't be brave
Man, it's always been me holding everyone's guts (Guts)
But who's gonna hold my spade? (Who?)
And dig me deep in a grave
So I take these sins to the gates (Yeah)
I said “Who's gonna come my way?”
And bury me deep in a grave (In a grave)
I’mma take these sins to the gates
And hope my God gon’ take ‘em away
Take ‘em a’
So I scream into the silence of the dawn
Feels like it's the only thing that keeps us warm
Even though I know you said that you prefer the cold
I don't
Who's gonna hold my spade?
And bury me deep in a grave
So I take this sin to the gates
And hope my God’s gon’ take it away
I said “Who's gonna come my way?”
And bury me deep in a grave
I'mma this sin to the gates
And hope my God gon’ take it away
Take it away
Yeah
No names, no risks (Nothin’)
Dreamt about planes and trips (Wanna fly)
I had to act strong, mask on
‘Cos I knew I could never put the blame on this (On this)
Didn't know your left from your right (You’re right)
I didn't know my right from my wrong (I was wrong)
I just navigated by feel
And I feel more than I could ever write in a song
But am I right-ing wrongs?
Or is it too little, too late? (Too little, too late)
And when I get to the gates
Is my God gon’ take it away? (Yeah)
I said “Who's gonna come my way?”
And bury me deep in a grave (In a grave)
I’mma take these sins to the gates
And hope my God gon’ take ‘em away
Take ‘em a’
So let's wait until the dusk turns into dawn
‘Cos I don't think I'm ready to be strong
Even though I know you said that I would just move on
I'm torn
Who's gonna hold my spade?
And bury me deep in a grave
So I take this sin to the gates
And hope my God’s gon’ take it away
I said “Who's gonna come my way?” (My way)
And bury me deep in a grave (In a grave)
I’mma take this sin to the gates
And hope my God gon’ take it away
Take it away
But in our world of shifting bounds and moving borders
I was your calm
You were my order
And I don't regret a second
All the memories that are stored up
And moments I kept score of
Form my aura
So even if I do not speak
You can be sure that
Nothing's changed
I say nothing's changed
So meet me early in the morning
And I scream into the silence of the dawn
Feels like it's the only thing that keeps us warm
Even though I know you said that you prefer the cold
I don't
So let's wait until the dusk turns into dawn
‘Cos I don't think I'm ready to be strong
Even though I know you said that I would just move on
I'm torn
Who's gonna hold my spade?
And bury me deep in a grave
So I take this sin to the gates
And hope my God’s gon’ take it away
I said “Who's gonna come my way?” (My way)
And bury me deep in a grave (In a grave)
I’mma take this sin to the gates
And hope my God gon’ take it away
Take it away
