Barrels For Feathers - Sapient

A strong sense of discernment, hence the name

I’m gonna work this, excavate, I’m done lurking

Never uncertain, never done earning my name

'Til the sun is done burning its flames

It gets fucked up, but life isn’t fair

It’s freewill, but will gods interfere?

Hands up in the air, the miracle isn’t there

I feel pain and it ain’t nothing to grin and bear

I’ve been preparing the most thorough of plans

With the weight of the world on my back

I can support all the weight

And still go to war with no paint worn on my face

Aye, I live correct and with honor

They meddle like children, disrespecting their fathers

Proud of what they earn, but no pride in what they make

It’s time to wipe smiles off they faces

In these times of war, I’ma rise by force

So you and I gonna perish together

I have barrels for feathers

In these times of war, I’ma rise by force

So you and I gonna perish together

I have barrels for feathers

Modern times got me feeling so hateful

(Still) feeling like I’m building with Legos

(Still) killing for pesos

(Still) lasso in the dirt, ain’t no Pecos Bill

Heed warning, I’ma rise by force

I’ve already been planning for this lifetime war

Keeping it so damn raw in the trenches

With every advance there’s been thought out defenses

The edge is in numbers, me and you have it

Therefore the music gets truth added

The true addicts strapping on boots

We don’t reply to threats we launch nukes

I won’t let the past be my guide

They wanna be my God, they wanna read my mind

Gatekeepers jingling keys

Trying to make us keep in line, but now we D.I.Y

In these times of war, I’ma rise by force

So you and I gonna perish together

I have barrels for feathers

In these times of war, I’ma rise by force

So you and I gonna perish together

I have barrels for feathers

In these times of war, I’ma rise and soar

To new heights never climbed before

You’ve got nothing to lose, then your life’s a bore

I’ve got plenty to lose, so I’m bending the rules, yeah

In these times of war, while you ride your horse

I’ma fly, bird’s eye the course

So you wondering what I’m smiling for

Free hands while I carry my weapon, gun barrels for feathers

In these times of war, support’s a sight for sore eyes

But I still light the torch

Let it spread 'til the world is mine and yours

'Til then, I stay calm, never mind the storm

In these times of war, I’ma rise by force

So you and I gonna perish together

I have barrels for feathers

In these times of war, I’ma rise by force

So you and I gonna perish together

I have barrels for feathers
