Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Murda no dem)
It's much louder than before
Can you hear me?
(Murda no dem)
[Verse 2]
Who were we before, when we lived ten thousand light years
(Can you hear me?)
I would like to know, all the secrets of our tribes
(Can you hear me?)
[Verse 3]
Mountains of gold (Mountains of gold)
Diamonds and pearls (Diamonds and pearls)
Around we go (Around we go)
I guess it's something we know (I guess it's something we know)
Arrows and bows (Arrows and bows)
Gunshots in the snow (Gunshots in the snow)
Around we go (Around we go)
I guess it's something we know
[Verse 4]
Only thing we learned from history class
Nah, we ain't learned from the past
Build it up, burn it down, leave it as ash
Build it up, burn it down, build it up, burn it down
Damn man, it turns into a reason to laugh
Think about the cats leading the pack
At least half got clapped, scrapped, meeting their match
Slow down, low numbers, don't believe in the facts
That I spew when I'm reading these raps
All I know is what I see, seeing bridges get burned
And then I see lessons get learned, after that on a smaller level
Out in Park Chester in the 6 just skipped
Thinking last time I ditched my chick
Man it really ain't shit
As big as the Bridge
But God damn man the cycle is sick
God damn man the cycle is sick
God damn man the cycle is sick (Ya heard?)
[Verse 5]
We'll spread the law, that we won't deserve
Chasing this global pain that disturbs
We'll have faith
What comes around, goes around some day
[Verse 6]
Mountains of gold (Mountains of gold)
Diamonds and pearls (Diamonds and pearls)
Around we go (Around we go)
I guess it's something we know (I guess it's something we know)
Arrows and bows (Arrows and bows)
Gunshots in the snow (Gunshots in the snow)
Around we go (Around we go)
I guess it's all that we know ( I guess that's all that we know)
[Verse 7]
It's much louder than before
Can you hear me
(Murda)
It's much louder than before
(Murda no dem)
Can you hear me?
It's much louder than before
(Murda no dem)
Can you hear me?
(Murda no dem)
