They Die By Dawn (Feat. Yasiin Bey, Jay Electronica & Lucy Liu)
[Intro] If I say surely the darkness shall fall on me Even the night shall be light about me Indeed the darkness shall not hide from you But the night shines as the day The darkness and the light are both alike unto you Amen
Thou preparest a table before me In the presence of mine enemies Thou anointest my head with oil My cup runnneth over Amen
Run
[Verse 1: Yasiin Bey] Pure pedigree horse power Balley at the summer buffalo soldier hour Black and blue dawn in the shadow lands Dub cry high-noon make the shadows dance Preacher man say a prayer, bless the caravan Bandolero clans and jackels in the valley pass Mindset on the treasures and the talisman Hand set on the holy book and battle axe Sun, moon, and stars, built a map Where you at Frontier Clear Expansion, exodus, run Frontier Clear Exodus, expansion (run)
[Hook: Lucy Liu] They die by dawn They die by dawn They die by dawn They die by dawn They die by dawn They die by dawn
[Verse 2: Jay Electronica] My grandmother told me Never ever go to sleep in the church house Wear a shirt and a tie to the court house Look the judge in the eye like a man Not a dove, not a lamb, not a slave, or a church mouse You a king, you a god, you a holy El Get out this hole and give these motherfuckers holy hell So overtime, I perfected my rhymes and That's why I shine like I climbed out the Holy Grail Mainstream dropout, white widow cotton mouth Out in Queen's Park with a crew of dirty stopouts London bridge is falling down The Bullitts lickin' shots on the Parliament grounds Every devil, every scoundrel, every henchmen, every hound Get lassoed by the sound Ran across the desert, then shackled to the mound
