Avatar Lyrics by Mike Osei (aka MJangles)

Invictus

2022

[Verse 1: Mike]
Before came M or the T or the L or the sound of a kingdom come
A prophet came down wit a gap-toothed smile in the form of a pastor's son
A two-word phrase that defined my days in the world of a man I knew
The pride of a clan in a distant land for the fam to the man I flew
Took a one way to the home a the subway thinkin one day imma stroll to the one place where the Sundays be the soul of a son’s fate and the son's fate will atone with enough faith
I find revelation in my mind that thе icon I been layin my sights on is a slight drop from the maven a my thoughts and the high shot to thе goal was a pump fake
No love, no hugs, just discipline
Cry out, don't know who listenin’
My house my cause move different
I tried to harmonize but the vibe feels dissonant
Is it a poor man's form of conditionin'
Or maybe that's just fortune's positionin'
Look back then ask what I do it for
Muse of a Nana Annor Aduboffour
[Chorus 1: Mike & Lincoln]
Here I go (Here I go)
Say goodbye (Say goodbye)
Right or wrong (Right or wrong)
You decide (You decide)
Told you from the start
That's an avatar
Don't know who we are
That’s a that’s an avatar
Here I go (Here I go)
Say goodbye (Say goodbye)
Throw ‘em up (throw ‘em up)
To the sky (to the sky)
Told you from the start
That's an avatar
Don’t know who we are
That's a that's an avatar
[Verse 2: Mike]
I come home from the classroom sure ‘nough
Bloodstains in the bathroom corner
8 years young so I understand sorta
Cold world but my heart beats warmer
Brother sees me like he lookin' at a foreigner
Then speaks with the heart of warrior
Moms almost took a trip down to the coroner
Cause one man’s discipline knows no borders
Hospital-
-ized made to speak in an optional
Lie an when it proves impossible to hide
The church hears
Twenty years turned to his worst fear
Self-made exile as it appears
Last seen at the foot of eleven years
Somehow, the void is sincere
But (there) ain't shit missin' that could move my tears
[Chorus 1: Mike & Lincoln]
Here I go (Here I go)
Say goodbye (Say goodbye)
Right or wrong (Right or wrong)
You decide (You decide)
Told you from the start
That's an avatar
Don't know who we are
That's a that's an avatar
Here I go (Here I go)
Say goodbye (Say goodbye)
Throw ‘em up (throw ‘em up)
To the sky (to the sky)
Told you from the start
That's an avatar
Don't know who we are
That's a that's an avatar
[Verse 3: Lincoln]
Ooh, no
Baby don't cry
Those you've lost
See through your eyes
Ooh, no
Baby don't cry
Those you've lost
See through your eyes
[Chorus 2: Lincoln & Mike]
Long ago I left my home in search of heaven's prize
Though the chest was vacant still I found where treasure lies
Long ago I left my home in search of heaven's prize
Though the chest was vacant still I found where treasure lies
[Verse 4: Lincoln]
We play on the stage they set
Lay claim to they names they left
Faith is aligned fates intertwined
New hope where the two roads met
I look back on the path of a lifetime
I see past these tracks of my life line
I don't just flip the script, I write mine
The light shine the resonance of a like minds
Hear it in the past songs
That they pass down
The Lyrics of the last dawn
Up in that sound
The Spirit that they passed on
Coming out now
I can feel coming back strong
Never back down
So I, write the script as I claim my role
Brake chains and I changed the road
No games I just take control
Avatar from the start
Imma make my own and
This song is the way it goes
[Chorus 2: Lincoln & Mike]
Long ago I left my home in search of heaven's prize
Though the chest was vacant still I found where treasure lies
Long ago I left my home in search of heaven's prize
Though the chest was vacant still I found where treasure lies
[Verse 5: Mike & Lincoln]
Mama, do you hear me now?
Papa, do you hear me now?
From where I stand, all I ask is for you and me to hear these sounds
Lost words of the past we found
From a curse to a blessing don't ask me how
I harmonize the lines and we sing out loud
Let the world bow down when I claim my crown
Mark my name on the page I draft
The Hart last name has set the stage at last
Now the destiny my pedigree has left for me is my legacy to have
And imma get it ‘fore I let it slip pass
And when I get it I'm never giving it back
I see the future through the frame full of glass
Now the man in the mirror make a change to the path
And now I stand with the heart of a lion
Knowin' ain't nobody harder than mine
The 3 fates of man left a product divine
Who could remake the hand turned water to wine
You'on wanna see a hero when he turn to a menace
You don't understand the meanin' of the team I'm reppin'
You can feel my heart
As it beats my message
My path
My toll
My past
My goals
My wrath
My soul
My only lesson
My grasp
My hold
My only blessing
So you should know I ain't afraid to face the fight
Not when the treasure that I seek remains in sight
One man's quest for the promise of salvation next to
One man's vow to the pain of generations forms a
Two part verse where gift and curse break down to merge in a single declaration
