5. Prevail (feat. Propaganda)
V1 (Nomis):
We offer you an organic force, through a digital means/
the marriage of music and movement we've restored the divorce/
of course it would seem that if I claim to be a man of God/
the music may be digital but action is in analog/
hand to the plow, we do work/
I build my stamina now to make it, until we know that what we do works/
and I know that what they do hurts/
material's got them scraping the numbers off the serial/
material's got them turning to killers that are serial/
material, moves them to currency at any cost/
and currency is currently a cause/
of a dying culture, and so we aim to be a tourniquet/
consider the World Cup, any major tournament/
the traffick is rampant and turbulent/
turning these turntables with "overturn injustice" within it/
now hows that for revolutions per minute?/
HOOK (Fallon Moore):
you can chase your dreams/
its okay, succeed/
when you face the need for more, don't forget about us/
you can chase your dreams/
its okay, succeed/
with integrity proceed and we prevail/
BRIDGE:
everybody take a vow (principles must prevail)
everybody take it now (principles must prevail)
everybody take a vow, everybody take it now, everybody make it loud (principles must prevail)
POEM (Propaganda):
and I've asked nothing but my fair share and that shouldn't scare you, how dare you?/
a man is worth his wages, but if them wages wave flags of defeat to my fellow fellows/
then that man should make his legs legit right angles. Humility, priorities/
see people ain't objects and objects don't have sovereignty, or personhood/
and there was a time I would blame some sort of outside force/
as if that was the source of my selfishness. Stems from well made products such sorcery/
soars out of the sores of my souls hole, how should we escape?/
it pours out of the pores of my poor soul and this piss pour attempts to create glimpses of heaven/
POEM (Nomis):
and we've all been condition the same way/
If you're not first, you're last. There is no "runner up", and no second place trophy/
get through that maze, get that cheese first by any means/
because if you don't, believe that someone else will/
somewhere along the line we've abandoned the idea of loving our neighbor/
and adopted the idea of loving our neighbors possessions/
replacing decency for decadence. The rat race/
and all for a shiny blue ribbon, that has no eternal significance/
principles will prevail, principles must prevail/
V2 (Propaganda):
and that I yell, like the stature we've taken as a nation/
in relation to the time we've wasted/
its kind of like humility and service, without love its worthless/
and in lieu of all attempts to fix us/
we lift up an enclave thats awkwardly awesome always/
and in all ways I've tried them paths don't lead to heaven bruh/
I laid my eyes on trash that bleed forever bruh/
I've craved the time I've dashed against the jagged rocks/
as if eternity was still mine to waste/
and I know these are nose bleed seats words over your head but/
I believe in you, promise I wont leave you/
me and you could do better if we knew better/
together we a crew in the storm we do weather/
so fist to the superficial, giggle when they try and sell it/
fist up the official symbol of the true rebellion/
the true rebellion, lets yell it/
HOOK (Fallon Moore):
you can chase your dreams/
its okay, succeed/
when you face the need for more, don't forget about us/
you can chase your dreams/
its okay, succeed/
with integrity proceed and we prevail/
BRIDGE:
everybody take a vow (principles must prevail)
everybody take it now (principles must prevail)
everybody take a vow, everybody take it now, everybody make it loud (principles must prevail)

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
