** best with headphones 🎧 **

lyrics:
[hook]
inner city tyrants
trigger fingers fire blows
navigate the silence
escape from the sirens

inner city tyrants
trigger fingers fire blows
navigate the silence
escape the sirens 

[verse]
inner city tyrants 
trigger fingers fire blows 
can't you hear the sirens?
ear drums feeling comatose
they came from the highlands
we come from the corner homes
thought we still had common goals 
but what's the house of commons to us common folk?
pirates
seven seas they come and go
shooting down, pilots 
cannonballs are blowing smoke
winter nights, tired
fingers numb but number toes
nigger this and nigger that
hold tight saka and my bros 

survived the streets but only to get beat down
by twitter bandits 
escaped the sirens only to be surrounded by the sound of racism
the state we in...
united? 
i don't think so
there's a plague within
we win you shout it's "coming home"
we lose, who knows whose home we in?
cos it's a jungle
and these hungry hunters have 
blacker hearts
verbal venoms
lethal darts 
blood spilled 
here comes the sharks
they say don't lurk late after dark
this is probably why
it's concerning 
the blacker the baller
the meaner the hate that he's earning 
if feels like we're just stock
you'd happily sell for pound sterling 

[hook]
inner city tyrants
trigger fingers fire blows
navigate the silence
escape from the sirens

inner city tyrants
trigger fingers fire blows
navigate the silence
escape the sirens

navigate the silence
escape the sirens

lyrics.
[verse]
one day i hope to be a good father
but would the hood rather
me a freedom fighter for the block?
we block harder
when boys with the balaclavas
riot streets that once were calmer
her heart is art
i promised i would guard her

this life is the hunger games
i took armour
and do it for my district
give it all or nothing
tell me how much are you risking?
proof is in the pudding
so it's time i get to whisking

grind slow, sow a seed
time shows, what you mean
love grows, let it gleam
heavy heart, let it lean
lean on my soul
i know we came to bring healing like mary seacole
i see a father in jermaine every time i see cole

i read code, i recode
i wreak havoc 
on these grooves 
and do damage
but your heart
i will manage
with care and compassion

and when you feel the darkest of nights
i pray you see the father of lights
father of lights

[pre hook]
cos i've been searching for answers 
and taking my chances 
still i'm falling further
much more than i'd rather

i'm searching for answers 
and taking my chances 
still falling further
much more than i'd rather

[hook] 
father, father
won't you bless me father
x8

James 1:17
Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

best i never had
moments of my past
flickering it never lasts
we fell away too fast 

best i never had
moments of my past
flickering it never lasts
i just can't seem to find you

went to Rome
NYC
LAX
Sydney

pole to pole
seven seas 
sunset eyes 
feet are weak
we could sleep or we could dream
either way i'm with you deep
me and you
you and me 
can't you see
that you're the

remix of 'deep end' by @officiallecrae

lyrics.

[hook]
i've been trying not to go off the deep end
give me a reason
i've been trying not to

[verse]
i've been trying
break out this asylum
feeling cold on this island
pressure applying
and my brothers are dying
seen his sister crying
now the army is rising
heading to zion

[pre hook]
serpents and sirens
circling round us
we won't stay silent
we won't stay silent
x2

[bridge]
i've been trying not to go off the deep end
rolling, i'm seasick
no longer breathing

i've been trying not to go off the deep end
floating in weakness
need to receive strength

[hook]
i've been trying not to go off the deep end
give me a reason
x2

ABOUT:
Author of My Life, written in 2012, was birthed as many of Imani's songs are - by playing around on the piano, finding an intriguing chord progression, and putting heartfelt words to the melody. The song is an unapologetic declaration of love and admiration for God, to God. It is a statement of faith in His power and gratitude for His love. Shared initially on her YouTube channel in 2017, the acoustic version of 'Author' proved popular, with Imani's subscribers noting its 'juicy' melody, 'beautiful' lyrics and, 'stunning' sound, with many saying they wanted a copy. Through passionate harmonies, resounding metaphor and even a multilingual line, the song seeks to be an anthem of submission and love poured out to our Heavenly Father.
