Journey of the Son of War: Navigating Life's Chaos and Meaning
Lyrics
I'm from a land of forgotten gods
I come from a place where ancient gods have been forgotten.
Scattered in the wind by the brother of Ausar
These gods were scattered in the wind by Ausar's brother.
Now I face the constellations trying to plot the stars
Now I'm contemplating the constellations, trying to understand the arrangement of stars.
As I debate the need for a 12 car garage
Reflecting on whether I really need a 12-car garage.
And so I'm on the move, can't afford to take a day off
I'm constantly moving, unable to afford a day off.
Calculating trying to find the calm in the chaos
Engaged in calculations, seeking tranquility amid chaos.
The hustle's all the same from Lilongwe to Lagos
Hustling remains the same, whether in Lilongwe or Lagos.
Speaking to my gogo I don't even need a seance
Communicating with my grandmother without the need for a séance.
I may never land, aiming in the distance
I might never settle, aiming for distant goals.
As I moonwalk between different planes of existence
Walking through different planes of existence like moonwalking.
Looking for lost meaning in all our oral traditions
Exploring lost meanings within our oral traditions.
Because I trust God, but I don't trust the religions
Expressing trust in God but skepticism towards organized religions.
Got warrior ancestry from when the battles were tribal
Inheriting warrior traits from tribal battles in my ancestry.
And my grandfather was one of the King's Rifles
My grandfather served in the King's Rifles, adding historical weight.
So you can't question what I've been battling for
Defending the legitimacy of my battles despite being a proponent of peace.
Though I'm a child of peace still I'm The Son of War
Identifying as both a child of peace and The Son of War.
You are now rocking with the best
Transitioning to a chorus emphasizing confidence, style, and minimal expression.
All the pretty girls say 'yes'
-Say it with your chest
-Looking for the fresh, say less
-Rocking with the best
-All the pretty girls say 'yes'
-Now say it with your chest
-Looking for the fresh, say less
-My private life has never been the type for mass appeal
My personal life isn't for mass appeal, contrasting with my public persona.
But on the mic I never blow it like a daffodil
Effortlessly succeeding on the mic, unlike a delicate flower.
My job at The Daily Planet's just an act for real
My job at The Daily Planet is a facade; in the booth, I transform into a powerful figure (Man of Steel).
When I'm in the booth I turn into the Man of Steel
Choosing my fate with grace and confidence.
Ask me who's the great there's nothing to adjudicate
Self-affirmation that I am the great one, no need for external validation.
I'm the one to choose my fate, and so I choose to move with grace
Opting for a graceful approach in life.
Now if you relate, watch the wins accumulate
If you relate to my journey, witness the accumulation of victories.
I'll be here to rule the stage while my momma ululates
Ruling the stage while my mother celebrates loudly (ululates).
I feel like Saitama when I'm catching hell
Feeling like Saitama from "One Punch Man" during challenging times.
Unappreciated yet unparalleled
Recognizing being both underrated and unparalleled.
These women keep the baggage coming like a carousel
Women bring emotional baggage, similar to a never-ending carousel.
I like em sweet and tough like caramel
Describing a preference for women who are both sweet and resilient.
On a mission like a troop in the jungle
Comparing oneself to a jungle troop on a mission.
A beast of no nation, just a youth in a struggle
Identifying as a "beast of no nation," a youth in a struggle.
Keeping low key while I shoot through the rubble
Maintaining a low profile while navigating through challenges.
I'm a bad motherfucker I just choose to be humble
Confidently describing oneself as formidable yet choosing humility.
You are now rocking with the best
Reiteration of the chorus, emphasizing the theme of confidence and minimal expression.
All the pretty girls say 'yes'
-Say it with your chest
-Looking for the fresh, say less
-Rocking with the best
-All the pretty girls say 'yes'
-Now say it with your chest
-Looking for the fresh, say less
