A song about looking beyond the present state of nihilism and violence to cultivate and envision a brighter tomorrow.

lyrics

Beyond

Performed By Ruth Mathiang, Marcius Extavour, Nomad Emcee and Sun Toucha I for © ZionHorizon Music Publishing SOCAN

Chorus

Beyond (Look Beyond)
Beyond (Move Beyond)
Beyond (Beyond this space and time)

Beyond (Look Beyond)
Beyond (Move Beyond)
Beyond (The revolution starts inna di mind)

(Repeat 2x)

Verse 1 (Le Nomad)

Cuz they got ice/Think they ballers/Cuz they rap/Think they music masters/Cuz they’re on a stage with a mic/Think they’re all that/Think they’re better/But they’re battered beaten and bruised/But they’re bitter/They blow their fuse/Cuz the pressure’s too much/See dem @ 6 o clock on the news/Alone raise sons and daughters/Cuz it’s strife raising souljahs/Cuz they’re survivors amongst others/Against the crabs in a barrel/Claiming this life/Hoping the next one’s no fucking sequel/Cuz I want more than guns, drugs, and gangbanging for my people/Cuz I think you’re beautiful/Cuz I think you’re celestial/So we gotta reach higher/Push Push/Beyond the mortal/Because tomorrow’s not guaranteed in this concrete jungle/So I need to love myself and love you to end the struggle.

Chorus

Beyond (Look Beyond)
Beyond (Move Beyond)
Beyond (Beyond this space and time)

Beyond (Look Beyond)
Beyond (Move Beyond)
Beyond (The revolution starts inna di mind)

(Repeat 2x)

Verse 2 (Sun Toucha)

Cuz there’s corrupt politicians/Lying on televisions/Masses misled by demons/Abusing power/Making decisions/Brothas and sistahs raising themselves/No groundation/Parents working overtime/Still don’t see no compensation/Cuz economic realities/Force/Workers into conditions/Where/Living hand to mouth/Only leads to perdition/Multinational corporations/Making green from spilling red/Over the world where black and brown/Can never get ahead/Look Ayiti, Jamaica, and the Philippines/McCorporations like McDonalds exploiting young teens/For their labour and minds/No chances to survive/On plantations and mines where their health is maligned/The masterplan devised by Euro-Americans/Founded on deception and misconceptions/Division of labour and time/Dividing souls and minds/Incarceration of political bodies reaches new found highs/The West looking to the East/To build material gains/Mind control hypnosis locks the consciousness in brains/Triple 6 marks, barcodes, eyescans, microchips/Whose gonna raise our children: parents or that V-chip?/If you don’t take back your mind/It will be put up for sale/In this concrete jungle/The endangered species/Isn’t the white male.

Chorus

Beyond (Look Beyond)
Beyond (Move Beyond)
Beyond (Beyond this space and time)

Beyond (Look Beyond)
Beyond (Move Beyond)
Beyond (The revolution starts inna di mind)

(Repeat 2x)

Fade Out.
