Verse 1
What does it mean, to be a chief among people
Who don't even know, if they should believe what the see though
Need someone to tell them what's what
No wonder why they love to gossip
Out of touch with life so they just watch it
They just sit back and look from the top spot
But not us though, we got that gusto to just go
Hard till we achieve what we want bro
Till we got it sussed we'll bust forth in front so
We’ll be the leaders of the pack, these wolfs just can't touch yo
From the placenta to the center stage,
Searching everyday tryna find a better way
To eat right, no curve balls tryna get it straight,
This young chiefs bout to get a plate yeup
Chorus
I Got these feathers on my sleeve so you know that imma chief,
Dont matter what your believe, you sell it then you'll achieve
Repeat first half of verse 1
Verse 2
And I know I can't turn back now
This inner chief won't let me I've earnt that ground
And when we build someone will go burn that down
But we deserve the world you heard that now
Remember when the nature of a human being,
was being one with nature, now who can see it
Now we can't spare some change so we can change up,
Too busy chasing fame in vain and ending chained up. Whoh.
Chorus
Bridge
Now I can see, now that the fog has just lifted
From the land to the sea, I know that I’m assisted
Upon this journey, no matter the friction
I’m breaking out of this colony no more Stuck in the system
Nope, I'm living off a hope,
Its keeping me afloat when I need a descent dose
Lack of freedom make me choke
now I'm coming up gasping for air
You know I didn't ask to be here, I just
Had to go and take it
