A way a way a way over
A way a way out
A way a way a way over
A way a way out
A way a way a way over
A way a way out
Finding a way a way a way over
I am a social scientist gathering information
Observing different cultures in each of the various nation
Trodding incognito
As a rastafari artist
Instigating revolution with anyone willing to start it
Marketing the mission
As a spiritual experience
And using the opportunity to do some
Major reconnaissance
To find out how my people living
On the black continents
So we can determine a plan for resistance
And mount an effective defense
As a way
A way a way a way over
A way a way out
A way a way a way over
A way a way out
A way a way a way over
A way a way out
Finding a way a way a way over
We calling the healer and the engineers
Teachers and creators
Impressing on them the urgency
Even helping to process their paper
Sake a common ancestral influence
We sure to find a few
Who not just ready to take instruction
But already know what to do
Those who've been reading and preparing
Burning passionately from time
Awaiting engagement of dem spirit and dem mind
And now that time is upon us
Sisters brothers ready your station
For the victory is eminent
Once we commence these activations
Will find it
There is a will in I that will not be silenced born
Of the first race now of the new race
We who have emerged out of their history of violence against us
Now we’re fully cognizant of how jah bless us
And we’re finding a way
A way a way a way over
A way a way out
A way a way a way over
A way a way out
A way a way a way over
A way a way out
Finding a way a way a way over
Akala: The way over’s the way out’s the way in
Seek knowledge and look within
All of the things that we’ve been mistaught
But still we learning I'm so bored to see you distraught it’s really hurting
The world is colder than I ever thought
But still we burning
A solder can’t mistake war for sport
And that for certain the person, the individual or the collective
All of these things and mean so much more
What’s your perspective
Neglected histories remain hidden
And that’s on purpose
But all we‘ve got to do is some digging
And they resurface we’re often so focused
On how things have become
We forget how many victories
That we have won
A debt that’s ancestoral I bet a man bet you
That the best you can get
You are still lesser than special
But the way outs the way within
We cannot face everything
But before we can even begin
We must look within
For a way over
A way out way over
A way out way over
A way out way over
A way out
