Lyrics

(Ayo.)
(Turn the hiss up. I want to hear the dust.)
(Yeah. Just like that.)
Look, the "used-to-be" is a ghost I don’t invite to dinner.
I’m focused on the feast, making sure the kids ain’t thinner.
We moved the budget, yeah, we shifted all the weight,
To the cradles and the clinics, keeping every heartbeat straight.
No accidental entries, we handing out the shields,
Keeping sovereignty in bodies, harvest in the fields.
Free choice in the lobby, free peace in the mind,
Leaving all that "oops" and "maybe" in the dust behind.
I’m at peace because the blueprint is finally for the kin,
Building up the walls so the cold don’t get in.
But look at the Silver Lady in the sky...
She’s a snitch! She saw the empires fall.
She saw the kings and the ruins and the writing on the wall.
But I can’t see the moon that Caesar saw,
I only see the one hitting my floor—no flaw.
She’s brand new every night, don’t you get it?
The past is a debt, and I already fed it.
The light of the dead stars...
Is just a ghost in the wires...
The probability of time is only ever now.
(It’s all we got! Right here!)
We are the first generation...
To see the moon... without the explanation.
Just the glow...
Just the silver...
On the seeds we grow.
Yeah, she’s a mirror but she’s only reflecting the "now."
I don’t care about the history, I’m taking the bow.
In a world that’s protected, where the families thrive,
Where we spent every cent just to keep ’em alive.
The moon of the past? That’s a different rock, man.
I’m just glad I’m standing here with a future in my hand.
(The silver on the cradle...)
(Yeah. Stay focused.)
(The only light that’s clear...)
(We checking the locks. We keeping it safe.)
(Far away... far away...)
(The past is a dead light. Stay in the glow.)
(Ayo.)
