F.I.L.O. |
| Verse 1: Shing02 |
| Lord, if they only knew them nights it took |
| Burnt candles by the dozen to ignite the soul fire |
| Sheer energy to release to melt the heart |
| Mind starved, voice carved onto wax (and still get taxed) |
| Relax, unrest unless undressed to the core |
| Ever so slowly, wash away old skin like springs of sulfur |
| So far so good, what’s life got to offer? |
| Youth stare curiously analyze the facts |
| Who’s there to encourage give a pat on their back |
| How come society wanna grow and ignore small dreams |
| Big team, now every work is a chore |
| I adore each step, hop skip a cadence |
| Travel distant in the age of decadence |
| Do this in reverence to the older veterans |
| Stripes on their chest plus a chip on their shoulder |
| Street soldiers cut without severance |
| But keep hustling anyways for the L or the F of it |
| Effervescent light guide the way |
| Fear no evil, once lost now found |
| Like the last man down in the towering inferno of Babylon |
| First In Last Out |
| Thirstin' first drop just wet my appetite |
| But couldn’t satisfy my craving for beats |
| Wrap tight like a Christmas gift |
| 'Tis night is an eve for a generation to uplift |
| Live life like a testimony |
| Simple rhymes in difficult times help a friend |
| Through a lonely tunnel at the end |
| Every maze a funnel into a wine bottle |
| And corked inside a message so mind boggling, a puzzle |
| Amazed at the grace having reached a goal |
| Knock twice on the gate heaven preach a soul |
| True knowledge of self shine brighter than all |
| For one part getting polished you better the whole |
| The sum of the characters carry over your role |
| 24-karat gold, each day is a jewel |
| Case closed when the end credits roll |
| Self-representative and elected, yes I |
| Give and get give back to the constituents |
| Sit you in a chair and break down the affairs |
| There’s nuthin fashionable |
| About arriving late in the game and acting OG |
| 'Cause you can’t pay dues with credit or cash |
| Quicktime soft players streaming all the flash |
| So I’m sticking copper pins into media outlets |
| Then I hop up in a black van and I’m out |
| Let’s get wit the program, shut the Dow Jonesing down |
| We keep underground dowsing |
| Microphones iron casting, everlasting sound |
| Blasting, no doubt |
| First In Last Out! |
| F.I.L.O, I’d rather do nothin' else |
| If I follow my heart to the last pulse |
| Like the last man down in the towering inferno of Babylon |
| First In Last Out |
| Like the last man down in the towering inferno of Babylon |
| First In Last Out |
