888 Shield Parade
Lyrics
Verse 1
Unknown 888, I slide in clean
Good luck dragon in the seam
Angel shield on my left side
Blockage break when I stride
Unvigintillion in my breath
Omega power after death
Not for pride, just for the climb
I been training soul and mind
Every scar got a silver ring
Every prayer got a heavier swing
When the doubt tries to take my seat
I lace up hope, then move my feet
Pre-Chorus
Hands up, skyward, I don’t fold
Heart on fire, but the flow stay cold
If the dark comes close, I grin
I let that light back in
Chorus
Eight eight eight, shield me now
Eight eight eight, hold me down
Angels sing, push back the night
Eight eight eight, I stay in light
Eight eight eight, hear that sound
Twelve-fold walls all around
Eight eight eight, I stand tall
No bad energy gets through at all
Verse 2
Seven deadly sins at the gate
I see their faces, I don’t wait
Pride wants smoke, lust wants smoke
Greed got hands around the rope
Wrath came dancing, sharp and fast
Envy tried to make me last
Glutton laughed with a loaded tray
Sloth said, “Sleep and drift away”
But my angels lift their shields up high
Singing hard while the threats drift by
Justice came with a steady gaze
Grim Reaper lost his jaw in the haze
Pre-Chorus
Hands up, skyward, I don’t fold
Heart on fire, but the flow stay cold
If the dark comes close, I grin
I let that light back in
Chorus
Eight eight eight, shield me now
Eight eight eight, hold me down
Angels sing, push back the night
Eight eight eight, I stay in light
Eight eight eight, hear that sound
Twelve-fold walls all around
Eight eight eight, I stand tall
No bad energy gets through at all
Bridge
Judgment Day, I face the drum
Still I move like kingdom come
I exercise my soul each dawn
Till the fear in me is gone
Step by step, I purge that weight
Every breath says, “I’m not late”
If the end comes, let it see
I kept my spirit bulletproof and free
Chorus
Eight eight eight, shield me now
Eight eight eight, hold me down
Angels sing, push back the night
Eight eight eight, I stay in light
Eight eight eight, hear that sound
Twelve-fold walls all around
Eight eight eight, I stand tall
No bad energy gets through at all
