(feat. Black Thought)





[Sample: Winston Churchill]

Now we are the masters of our fate

That the task which has been set us is not above our strength

That it's pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance

As long as we have faith in our cause and an unconquerable will-power

Salvation will not be denied us

Salvation will not be denied us

Salvation will not be denied us

We are the masters of our fate

Long as we have faith, an unconquerable will-power

Salvation will not be denied us



[Verse 1: Raekwon]

The time has come, I've just begun, this is designer rum

My wallet got flowers on it, kill it cowards

From the land, the stolen land, where gold chains control a man

Three hundred holding hands, stolen grams

I play the phantom, waving,

Leave that nigga for dead, or should I save him

Spitting out phlegm, no, just grave them

I remember days, I used work for niggas, eat jerk with niggas

Buying whip, is laughing and joking, trying to flip

Clip is loyal, fly spoil on the block, display royal

Even though we go back to royals, black oils

Live as ever, can't tell me nothing, whatever

This thing of ours, is empowered by my niggas who pumping

Twenty four hours of slang motion, wave brush

Ya knew my hair was the ocean, running through the building

Just negation, some of the creeps

Knew me very well, knew he would sell, knew he was potent

Now we are the masters of our fate

That the task which has been set us is not above our strength

Salvation will not be denied us



[Verse 2: Black Thought]

OK, bridges I burn some, lessons I learn some

Money, I spent some, lent some, earn some

My eyes tell it, tell her the hell I return from

Spark up an L from the homeys I haven't heard from

Burn when the herbs come, I'm living large

Never chilling on the curb, just a villain on the verge, son

My tenth shot is as efficient as the third one

Second one, first one, worse come to worse run

When I was pushed out the womb, the Earth spun

The only way to describe this is inertia

Some rappers think they can try me, who the first up?

I don't guarantee no survivors, niggas, surf's up

Yeah, soul on ice, courage is sacrifice

Hold on tight, and save your laughter for the afterlife

These chumps thinking they good, ain't even half as nice

Your fate'll be a one way ticket to paradise, what?

Salvation will not be denied us

Salvation will not be denied us

In the words of the Psalmist

"He shall not be afraid of evil tidings

His heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord."
