Forever Alive Lyrics

Classic Material
Peace, peace, peace
Seven Inner Crescent
More science and lessons
Yes, hand crafted in Medina...

Fresh!

A portrait in the mantle place realer than the shades
A hand on your shoulder and your dreams turn slow
Friend or foe? Debt, no it’s an asset
Medicine or madness?

Passed the blood in the streets, the king spat, “Peace.”

So speak of reverence in its presence

Black master math can’t measure

We mold ice cold, hot dice to roll
Stand sturdy like stones and bones
Raw nerves are posed
Flesh, full ceremony dressed
Naked ambition, who the sure shot next?
New vein on the shell gained
A window for the vet
‘Til everything is seized in the nature of the threat
You gotta stand up and hold it down for your set
In terms of physics that didn't sound corrected
But it's chill, and very necessary nonetheless
So yes, lets
