10. Green Mile:
INTRO:
I see the people and they're crying for help/
so I ain't ready to die until I'm done dying to myself/
V1:
No more looking the other way first/
no more waiting on the samaritan/
no more waiting for you to care/
and debating on who should carry him blatantly its embarrassing/
"it aint my responsibility, the calling is gonna choose them"/
try saying that with a straight face/
when I pass through the great gates and he asks, whats my excuse then?/
I'm walking this Green Mile now/
but I don't see a finish line/
'cause he aint finished with me yet/
finish breakfast first that last suppers dinner time/
I see the people and they're crying for help/
so I aint ready to die until Im done dying to myself/
(2X)
POEM:
but lets be honest/
the circle of those out of reach is a diameter far superior to the sphere of those who are actually in arms length/
and the bitter irony of it all/
is that so many who are actually in arms length are so far out of touch, that they couldn't reach those without, even if they tried to/
viewing life with binoculars on backwards/
non exposure becoming non existence/
we don't stand for what we don't see/
I see the people and they're crying for help/
so I aint ready to die until Im done dying to myself/
(2X)
BRIDGE:
rarely do you see an MC out for justice
(3x)
everything is anything/
anything everything/
and all of it is only for the ones who are in reach/
V2:
When I'm dead and gone/
my vital isn't on but life within the song is ripe within it strong/
When I'm dead and gone/
I tried to end a wrong I trifled with the "johns" and fighted them with brawn/
When I'm dead and gone/
I sighted timid, calm ignited them along inspired them to spawn/
When I'm dead and gone/
my title isn't gone he knighted him a don the night'll end at dawn/

I’ve been rockin Ozay Moore’s music since Lightheaded and I still find it some of the best to listen to. I can’t get enough boom nap, especially with a central theme of Christ and his faithfulness in the life of Ozay Moore. It also features some dope artists on this one. The intro is one of the best introductions to an album I’ve heard, and I don’t say that lightly. Each track is its own thing, yet blending well together. It’s overall just dope! Macklyn
