Against The Grain (with Brothers Within)

Rise up

It's time to elevate

Too many things

It's time to clean up my plate

You know I couldn't deal

With all that hate

So I had to drop the weight

For a change in pace

Show no hate and

Hold no grudge

In my heart I got

Nothing but love

I've done wrong myself

So who am I to judge

Now I'm moving with the

Grace of a Dove

But into a

Brighter place I go

It's time I gotta let

A little story unfold

In with the new and

Out with the old

It's time to make moves

And only Lord knows

You can't stop this fire

Tryna put it out

But it burn brighter

The rope you walk

Is getting tighter

Keep on lying

Cause you singing to

The choir

You can't put out this flame

Cuz I'm runnin runnin

Against the grain

No respect for me

Then I have no shame

In going about my own way

I'm going against the grain

Im going against the grain

I'm going against the grain

I'm going against the grain

No one really knows your pain

Well I don't wanna go that same way

It's up to you to make a change

You know it's up to you

Running and running

From everything and everyone

On a mission I'm living

For everything under the sun

Gotta build up the vision

Until it's finished and done

Find your purpose

And the reason comes

No I won't stop

Burning this light

They can't hold me down

In the darkest night

The message carries on

Through the vibes in time

Against the grain

And through the bloodline

You can't stop this fire

Tryna put it out

But it burn brighter

The rope you walk

Is getting tighter
