Turmoil Lyrics by Rob John

2020

Chorus - Rob John

Turmoil, the smell of gun smoke and burning oil, there’s still a war going on in the soil
We gotta stick together and we gotta stay loyal, but we can only make it by the King of the royal
Turmoil, the smell of gun smoke and burning oil, there’s still a war going on in the soil
We gotta stick together and we gotta stay loyal, but we can only make it by the King of the royal

Verse 1 - Rob John

It kind of boggles me, what if I was the prophecy, I’m shining like astrology, speaking my mind logically
Victorious over tracks I’m dominance, they don’t search for wisdom there lacking thе common sense
I gotta write thе scripture, illustrating the picture, if you didn’t catch the flow sorry it missed ya, I’m in the midst of
Chaos, whirlwinds, and violence, it feels like all I’m hearing is shots and sirens
Speaking from my heart and my words filled with bravery, we still dealing with slavery? That’s crazy to me
Death in the blocks, when will it stop? The beat goes on, my heart never stops

Chorus Rob John

Turmoil, the smell of gun smoke and burning oil, there’s still a war going on in the soil
We gotta stick together and we gotta stay loyal, but we can only make it by the King of the royal
Turmoil, the smell of gun smoke and burning oil, there’s still a war going on in the soil
We gotta stick together and we gotta stay loyal, but we can only make it by the King of the royal

Verse 2 - Rob John

I was only seventeen coming home from the store, they shot me in the chest, and man it felt like a war
My body In the pavement, ahh my flesh trembling, thank you carrying my legacy, and remembering
We still gotta fight now, and defeat crooked Zimmermans, and
Crooked cops, they protesting, and letting off shots, I can’t blame them it’s only right to run the blocks, they say that’s to much power I think not!
I gotta $20 dollar bill I’m trying to feed my family, he put his knee to my neck, and I escaped insanity
I guess that’s what it takes to wake us up in this land you see, I give from the heart which is better than philanthropy
I said “I can’t breathe” he choked me over tobacco, what you wanna take my life because I’m a black soul!
They mad across the nations now they wanna let the gats blow, when you gonna stop killing us, that’s what I ask yo!


Chorus - Rob John

Turmoil, the smell of gun smoke and burning oil, there’s still a war going on in the soil
We gotta stick together and we gotta stay loyal, but we can only make it by the King of the royal
Turmoil, the smell of gun smoke and burning oil, there’s still a war going on in the soil
We gotta stick together and we gotta stay loyal, but we can only make it by the King of the royal
