Built 2 Last - Haiku D'Etat

This foundation we can’t break up — Acey

Just like Run DMC we’re tougher than leather

Mikah 9 said it’s all love

It’s gonna get better

We were built to last what we do

Stays here forever

Solid ground is so hard to come by

One by one I gotta see the other eye

Every failure is another try till we get it

Stay wit it live wit it give it what ya' need

Wild ghetto seeds grown up to take the lead

I’m so glad that I got a purpose

And I can see past the surface I’m ready for service yeah

Hard to believe in coincidence

I just deal with the confidence decisions & the consequence

I made a vow & I took a oath

About growth got integrity on what I wrote

And that’s a quote

It ain’t where you’re from is where you’re at

You heard that

I’m from the place where they serve at, where the word at

Good brother you deserve that

I won’t waste my life force chasing some horse that’s off course

Ride steady & stay ready built to last

Constructive to the end and productive with my friends

I’m lucky just to live after the pain this life can give up — never

We must win every endeavor we begin by

Laying down the frame work of building from within my

Trust is in my skin like dust that’s in the wind

I thrust into a spin then crush them evil men

I’m disgusted with the jinn I must then mend back together

As brethren and sistren my own children to the last days

I’m building from the first day’s revealing

What’s appealing is love not lust

What I’m feeling is above her bust

Really what’s behind her makeup and face

Beneath the flesh there’s a mind and soul

A divine heart of gold

Encrusted innocence — a special place

That’s justice from his imminence

Since some people fake the math relating

To the body as a temple for the whole human race

As revealed these events unraveled

Follow me through a series of time travel

Eve and Adam’s apple breed a spirit battle

Which leads to power struggle and ultimate Tower Babel

Commotion!

Dynamic explosion from the dynamite’s charge

Just like dominos fall crash the palace

Just like Samson crushed the Philistine walls

And from the day on we’ve been established

Through corrosion still the limestone carvings

Show us how they evolved with black magic

Circa B.C.

but what’s after A. D

Has got us all hanging in the balance

And right in your backyard

They fight and they train hard

To claim their own landmark — the anarchists

Fanatical patriots defenders of habeas corpus

When facing the law & order
