Raise the Banner |
| You know, it hit me one night I was reading my daughter |
| A bedtime story and uhm, I noticed something |
| You know every time I read this story it never fails |
| You know the tortoise he always wins |
| This ain’t a game, standard-bearer |
| Raise the banner |
| You should demand better, homie |
| Raise the banner |
| Testify, rally cry, under the banner |
| Jah Jah, King Nissi, follow the banner |
| Uh, for your children, for your neighbours, for your communities |
| Follow the banner! |
| Everybody, unashamed, lock your arms, plant your feet |
| Look around, they need you! |
| Follow the banner |
| Eey yo, tios, tias, ates, qyas; |
| consider your influence |
| The little ones want to be us |
| This ain’t about ego, stop thinking so selfishly |
| Called to be the best is what’s best for our community |
| Consistency, change the future of a family |
| When one goes to college, it breaks the cycle of poverty |
| I know a ex-vice lord dropped his flags |
| And picked up the pulpit, put a price on his head |
| We’re tortoise-and-the-hare style, brave in the drought |
| And just last week he baptized they guy who put the hit out! |
| My cousin Era shootin' kites to aunt Carolin about how he hates his life |
| And tell me a lil' more about Christ |
| Well-versed in gang talk |
| Fooled them OGs and them prison guards |
| Now he walks a yard he owns |
| No could-a should-a would-a's, ask all my kinfolks |
| I read the story a million times |
| Tortoise always wins |
| Better husbands, better fathers, more servants, more diligence |
| No excuses, they are useless |
| You can do this, follow the banner |
| It takes discipline, to be dead to sin |
| Can’t do it alone, you need your kin |
| Just keep the pace, understand the race |
| You ain’t gotta be fast, just don’t run out of gas |
| No honorable mentions |
| Leave no leftovers |
| Licked the plate of life clean and thanks to Elohim |
| No Ponzi schemes, just excellence |
| Just reverence, He is our banner |
| Just look around, examine creation, it’s beautiful ain’t it? |
| The pictures he painted |
| Beeline the finish line, don’t mind if you quote me |
| Ask why we ain’t hot yet? |
| We cookin' ours slowly |
| This ain’t a game, standard-bearer |
| Raise the banner |
| You should demand better, homie |
| Raise the banner |
| Testify, rally cry, under the banner |
| Jah Jah, King Nissi, follow the banner |
| Uh, for your children, for your neighbours, for your communities |
| Follow the banner! |
| Everybody, unashamed, lock your arms, plant your feet |
| Look around, they need you! |
| Follow the banner |
