OK...Alright - Mystic

Who does see the twisted shadows fall?

And capturing minds?

Well here’s a youth call

From my block niggas to suburban kids

I know this world weighs heavy on your low-set lids

This is for dark nights

And sharp blades

For mountains of pain on your tear-stained face

This is for every time they beat you

Every time they lied

Every time you suffered

Every time you cried

This is for broken dreams

Shattered with precision

Misunderstood visions

Lives christened in prison

Dismissed 'em

You were never meant to understand

Tag on every wall and kiss the sky when you can

Fam' formation

Work them

They’ll trace the outline of your soul when you desert them

'Cus they don’t know the trouble that you’ve seen

Who cares tonight?

Life is but a dream

It’s gonna be ok… (ok)

Alright

Free your mind (ok) if only for the night

It’s gonna be ok… (ok)

Alright

You don’t have to cry tonight

You (you) shall (shall) prevail

Best 'ta free your mind

'Fo they bleed you like the rest

With guns and daggers

Just a slow solid death

While breathlessly awaitin' for the world to evolve

It’s not gonna happen if you hemmed against the walls

Of your own design, they cross all space and time

Who caused the vision?

Who drew the lines?

Finding it hard to breathe, got bruises on their knees

From praying to leave, please

Conceiving ways to escape the venom

The biggest fight is for your life, it’s for the next gen

Defend 'em

The rules, bend 'em

Cause they gon' keep attending

Every breath you take is worthless

All endings, no beginnings

Bells ringing (ring ring ring)

No need to read braille

You (you) shall (shall) prevail

Ok… (ok)

Alright

Free your mind (ok) if only for the night

Gonna be ok… (ok)

Alright

You don’t have to fight tonight

(They don’t know the troubles that you’ve seen)

Cuts for luck and scars for freedom

They will never feel your pain

So you’ll defeat them

World in your eyes

Ready to fly

You must make it through the next day to feed them

Feelin' used and abused

Quite confused

It’s really all about you and the way you wanna move

Those chains that seem to bind you

Let me remind you

The power’s in the people

Every moment’s perfect timing

You visualize death

Now visualize your life

You looked into the dark

Now look into the light

(Now look into the light)

'Cus they don’t know the trouble that you’ve seen

Who cares tonight?

Life is but a dream

It’s gonna be ok… (ok)

Alright

Free your mind (ok) if only for the night

It’s gonna be ok… (ok)

Alright

Let your light shine tonight

You (you) shall (shall) prevail
