Red Dawn Lyrics by Sa-Roc

MetaMorpheus Mixtape

2016

[Verse 1]
The dawn breaks, sun beam like a sign of God
Hope your conscience clear, hope you're clean of heart
I've had hands in dirt since I've ever learned to walk
And all those years I've kept my growing anger camouflaged
And these revelations won't do more than help them see
How's it feel to be a prisoner in the land of free?
My black skin got me backed in against the wall
So I keep swinging at the cracks till the plaster fall
You call me a terrorist when I resort to war?
When I ain't seen my daddy since the tender age of four
Hired hands slash a [?] for simple sport
And all I get for my services is more debt to support
I don seen some strange fruit on the southern trees
And I've seen some others weep over the bloody leaves
Black bodies a commodity, price on our heads
So we don't even get a moment to swallow our grief
Now its judgment day, how does your republic plead?
Resounding guilty from the members of the Justice League

[Hook]
It's the moment of truth
It's the dawn of a new day
Now we stand on our own two
It's the moment of truth
It's the dawn of a new day
Now we stand on our own two

[Verse 2]
This is prophecy fulfilled I'm a saved man
From Virginia cattle fields to the stage man
I got heaven on my side, righteousness behind me
And we gon' bring the light of God to this depraved land
We gon' get free or die tryin, word is bond
And that's on every day president in Babylon
When the scales are just as tipped but you half of my resilience
Cuz I'm smashing every surface I get this gavel on
I ain't never been 3/5ths a human
My intelligence and strength is more than eclipse your demand
We leveling the playing field, any means necessary
Every time you hear Sa-Roc, you think legendary fam
And I am just but one of many, an example to be sampled from
A humble woman who chose the value in path of martyrdom
I'd rather die on my own two than live on my knees
Please believe I ain't ask for battle till they started some
So I'll be damned if you watch me fight to take goliath down
The rise of history is another of gods honored ones

[Hook]
It's the moment of truth
It's the dawn of a new day
Now we stand on our own

On our own two
On our own two x 7

Our own two
It's the moment of truth
It's the moment of truth
It's the dawn of a new day
It's the dawn of a new day
