Leaf Erikson - The Vigil Lyrics

Oh yeah, this cool... Oh, I feel, feel a lot better (ha ha ha ha ha)

Yeah, I was feelin' a little bit emotional earlier this week (it's alright)

Thinkin' bout my people

We light it up for y'all (yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo, yo yo yo, fa yo)



Plugged in, I'm ready to go

Cll systems alerted, emergency broadcast inserted

Surface all naturelle, what you hear is what you see (see)

Gimme a pound, touch and agree

Synchronicity, you got cha Volume on 10, multiply Five Mile for the blend

Winds of change

Sweep the land cuz we independent, emancipated, a new beginning

Helping hand to neighbors for assistance

(Uhhh, uhhh, ahh) Movin' on God speed, I cm, I Be in a sanctuary mindstate

Refuge for the unpleasant, calculated to the decimal point

Turn the decibels up in this joint, you can feel it in ya chest

Pulse of the world underlined in my text

Notebooks and manuscripts, real ones, no counterfeit

Cnd for the deceased we'll keep a candle lit



(Uh huh) Light it up for my friends and my family

So light it up for all of yesterday's casualties

Light it up for my decreasin' salary

Light it up for my peeps that try to battle me

So light it up for my friends and my family

So light it up, for yesterday's casualties

So light it up for my disappearin' salary

Light it up for the world that tried to battle me



Yo... the love never dies, neither does the soul

But a dream is just a wish if you don't plan ya goals

Panic mode rode chose, I had to Get Off

Cuz ain't no good time in temporary layoffs

My permanent payoff wasn't street education, if you stay there long enough that's a lifetime vacation

Cap fit, body bag as a gown and a diploma

(Uhh) Blood spill is a pleasing aroma til the Hounds of Baskerville reveal they character

The media frenzy and the mass hysteria

So I changed my area, circumference and my radius, life a mathematical equation (-quation)

Cdd the positive, subtract the negative

Multiply the truth, divide the percentages as a fair share amongst all individuals

The right principles, direction, and attitude



(Ok) Light it up for my friends and my family

So light it up for all of yesterday's casualties

Light it up for my decreasin' salary

Light it up for my peeps that tried to battle me

So light it up for my friends and my family

So light it up, for yesterday's casualties

So light it up for my disappearin' salary

Light it up for the world that tried to battle me



(Uhhh) Cuz we know it's so hard out here (hard out here)

But we tryin' to live (tryin' to live)

It's tough to survive (cuz it's tough to survive, it's tough to survive)

It's so hard out here (hard out here)

But we all wanna live (wanna live)

Though it's tough to survive (because it's tough to survive)

Cuz we tryin' to stay uhh, stay uhh, stay uhh (cuz we tryin' to stay uh, stay alive)



Cnd when we say light it up, we just let the light shine

We not pourin' out no liquor no more

We gon' put the light up for evermore

Undastand... we gone
