Thy Will

[Intro: Toni Hill]
Thy will be done
Done

[Verse 1: IAME]
Every time the frost bites it draws new blood
Went from dry to moist in this Kamasutra
It suits ya
Roll with constrict, loads of conflict theory
Look through the eyes of the weary
Remove that baggage
No refuge, no address
See them all the time and they usually addicts
But so am I, what have we established?
Is it just choice or poison?
A social fabric that decides who's disadvantaged
Who sets the standard?
Is it God's will?
Well, it depends on how you spin it
Do you now feel an omnipresence?
Therе were souls beforе there were religions
There was God before space, pay attention

[Hook: IAME + Toni Hill]
This all relates to you and me
Life and death in this ball that spins 'round
Swift is the pace of doom
[?] respect what this rhyme's wanting now
Now the time has come
Thy will be done

[Verse 2: IAME]
Old man, grey in the face
Clouds in his eyes, slump in his posture
Carboard sign, quarters and dimes
Prosperous finds, free cigarettes and cheap drugs
He's tweaking and such, speaking to himself
It's better than him speaking to you (Right?)
Across the street you move
And now a different old man is preaching to you
With that Jesus truth
But in these streets truth and diseases, to each his own
Like a fiend that shoots into the vein
She chooses no piece of the peace she knows
It's a blissful state, it lifts the weight
She can't support, that's before she asphyxiates
Hits the asphalt, it's no mistake she was asking for it
The risk inherent, traits inherited from both sets of parents
(Including) abuse and addiction
Now she gets hit by her dude, but she sticks with him (Bitch)
Cuts herself with the sharpest knife in the kitchen
Wraps her arm tight and puts the syringe in
If it feels good, she binges on it until it floods her engine
Listen

[Hook: IAME + Toni Hill]
This all relates to you and me
Life and death in this ball that spins 'round
Swift is the pace of doom
[?] respect what this rhyme's wanting now
Now the time has come
Thy will be done

[Bridge: IAME + Toni Hill]
We always looking where to point the finger at
And fighting over what we think is right
We start looking at ourselves too much we ask
Exactly what it is we trying to fight
And we've no clue, all we have is
Enough gas to drive us to the brink of madness
Make sure your seatbelt's fastened

[Verse 3: IAME + Toni Hill]
We could crash any second, we crabs in a bucket
We treat life like a craps table, fuck it
Daddy needs some new lungs, but he'll settle for kicks
Sleep when the cookie crumbles, you answer with chips
Things like Nestle quick to change up
When fate calls upon you like Dr. Strangelove
Will you accept the call or just hang up?
(Let it go to voicemail)
I won't let me voice fail
For the voiceless and frail, for those in a cell
(Who else?)
Lost boys and girls with stories to tell
Silent in a system they held until now
Now the time has come
Thy will be done
This a return, it's no second coming
Frankly, I'm thankful another second even came
So, I'll stay out your debate
You can fight all you want over science and faith
Make your biased claims
And we've no clue, all we have is
Our trespasses, our daily bread
Some beg for scraps, some stay well fed

[Bridge: IAME + Toni Hill]
We're always looking where to point the finger at
We fight just because they taught us how
We start to look outside ourselves and ask
Exactly what it is we're fighting now
Now the time has come
Thy will be done

[Interlude: IAME]
Faith, science, physics, religions, idols, your highness
Why can't I be Christ on a good day?
Why can't he return through our sacrifices?
And through the word we can access transcendence
I stand before you, my disciples
This might be blasphemous to those who seek absolute objective truth
This is no such pursuit
This is more vital, an extremist with assault riffles ready to shoot
In the midst of these rivalries, the secular society tempts fate
I sense impending doom and irony too
How can there be atheism without theism?
How can you deny what's already denied you?
And there is nothing more beautiful than the mystic, the ineffable
See I am at peace with the idea there are some truths that I will never know
I am just one thing, but I am many things
God is nothing, God is everything
(Just a word)
And all I'm trying to communicate
Is you do not know, so don't pretend, okay?

[Refrain]
They said make believe
They won't make you believe
You can't save my soul
I've got to save my own
This cross I bear, this road I'm on my way
May I live to see another day?
I pray

[Verse 3: IAME]
It should be clear by now I ain't on my dumbed down (nope)
I ain't on my get green, grind, greedy
I'm on my go green, eco-friendly
I'm on my inner battle
On my curb the ego and be tactful
Still get on that emo and aggro
I don't load the heat up with ammo
I listen to rappers trying to lead by example
They haven't led me to be who I can though
Every day in the hood, yea, that's where I stay
I see dope boys flossing so carelessly
I want the cars that they drive and the kicks
I don't care about the diamonds or the hoes, I ain't Ice Berg
But I want the 401K of a corporate exec
I'll leave the city, buy a home on the outskirts
Secure, legitimate peace of mind
We do dirt 'til we rest in it
But what it's worth to the children we leave behind
Will define what influence we have
For now I stay buying what they selling
As they replenish my vices, they killing me with a license
This is my execution (Die vicariously)
This is my expression, experience

[Refrain]
They said make believe
They won't make you believe
You can't save my soul
I've got to save my own
This cross I bear, this road I'm on my way
May I live to see another day?
I pray
