Far from Home

[Neak]
Where do we go from here?

[Verse 1: Neak]
We are so along away from the promise today
What a miracle to be on this earth at my age
Only brotherhood would come in a form of gang
What’s the reason why I’m dealt every card that I’m playing, saying, what point in history welcomed our laying down
Sailing way across Atlantic imagine hearing the prayers of ancestors and nothing move
But waters and evilnesses evil merit conducted inherit laws and rules
Systemic, that give way to a premise that evеrything black ain’t important this torment imprinted
Hard to feel it when wе shot on the film or rotten in prison
Petty crimes, collision, run its course if they never listen
Soil bloody we building upon it then call it Christian
Adore money we built it upon it the blackest niggas
Floor cruddy enslaved bodies it all eclipses
The core body the principles every man is equal
Truth irrelevant liars who not inclusive to bring this truth out for every men see what they did to chair-a-man, Fred Hampton
Mike Browns, Sean Bells, Philandos, and any black people that’s back home in Chicago

[Chorus: Neak]
Be in love with today
Cause nothing’s ever promised tomorrow today
Be in love with today
Cause nothing’s ever promised tomorrow today

[Verse 2: Philmore Greene]
See I’m a black man so I can’t do crushing with all my melanin
Philly is a veteran speaking it so eloquent
I’m confident, did it for years they called it arrogant
Hatred is a mindset this love I’m inheriting
Compare the life of a black to a barbarian
My sister had a child with my homie I was burying the cycle
We come through bare arms carrying
The whirlwind is murders but quiet is librarians
This is Malcolm mixed with Garveyism
By any means dodging the long arm of the system
400 years they never saw us as a victim
Now we off the ropes swinging for dear life, hit em
They bury black fathers in the grave or the jail
And kill a mother only son he ain’t make it to Yale
Listen, we done drugged our feet through the blood dirt
If we wanna make it home it starts with us first, let’s go

[Chorus: Neak]
Be in love with today
Cause nothing’s ever promised tomorrow today
Be in love with today
Cause nothing’s ever promised tomorrow today
Nothing’s ever promised tomorrow today
Nothing’s ever promised tomorrow today

[Bridge: Nola Ade]
Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today
And nothing last forever
It don’t seem far away
It hurts this life may be the only way
It hurts this life may be the only way
It hurts this life may be the only way
Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today
And nothing last forever
It don’t seem far away
It hurts this life may be the only way
It hurts this life may be the only way
It hurts this life may be the only way

[Excerpt]
If a human being, dares to be bigger, than the conditions to which he or she was born
It means so can you
And so you can try to stretch, stretch, stretch yourself
So you can internalize
Homo sum, humani nil a me alienum puto
I am a human being, nothing human can be alien to me
