Remember writing this HOOK as the table at D house at 15, now listening to it makes me feel like I am bigger then I know actually deeper than I ever knew...
this one goes out to all my brothers and sisters i lost in 2020. it's been brutal but i believe we got the strength to keep going to the end of this almost eternal suffering. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 legit been breaking down a while listening this track.
It's Cise Starr and Akin rapping, as well as Enoch and Speck producing dope beats like this one! Cise and Akin have also done some tracks with other producers, for example "Highs 2 Lows" and "Feather" with Nujabes. You should totally check him out too, if you haven't already :)
LaMidrange Aldridge Yeah im surprised myself. Cyne was one of my first groups I instantly liked. At the time akon and what not was not at all appealing haha
[Verse 1: Akin] I'm passing God's conception Approaching near the land deception Adjust the mirror, in my rearview I see reflection At times my highways lead to bleak direction So I seek confession speaking to beats I call it resurrection cause I got my soul back Some call me pro black Really I'm just playing my part I could've sold crack It's not for me My old man thought of prophecy Kwame Nkrumah's vision live in my odyssey for real But not your Homer in Greek mythology Akin devise schemes to conquer this trickology The time is now to forsake the faking I'm freedom in the making God's kitchen chef rock a frigid apron [Hook x2] Ayo, For 400 years we shed tears And when it's death among peers we pour beers But now what? Look what the world made me, enslaved me But at the end what the fuck is gonna save me? [Verse 2: Cise Starr] My pulse quickening as my heart became a simile I drift into the reaches of self, I felt panicky Hoping for anarchy, liberation from this insanity Tears running down my cheek hit the canopy Wall of self doubt, shout scream and wail At the pain coursing through my being I'm in a hell of thought Caught between a rock and hard place My personal space violated catching a case I can even taste the bittersweet smell of defeat I’m feeling the heat of blood running down in the street Then look where I stand My shadow is the trace of a man That endured the hardships, formulating a plan [Hook x2] [Verse 3: Akin] System ridiculous they fabricate lies now I'm sick of this Like people with syphilis still trying to cripple this will Revolution rap attack Pope Nicholas, chill, don't ever tell me that Lies, they try to sell me that I can't afford it Your evolution get aborted Let it be known I don't condone thrones in Rome Call it prejudice, I sever this mic with a poem Folks will hate to see this and mercenaries out for Jesus Live from the pearly white gates about to squeeze Is godly bad? Confederate flags I'm held hostage No forty acres and mule abused profits No forty acres and mule abused profits [Verse 4: Cise Starr] I’m breaking these shackles they got me chained away from my liberty Look at the history how they treated us through the centuries Like inanimate animals only given annual holidays Representin' hardships we endure today That’s not enough What the fuck we getting comfortable now Looking like clowns while industry is taking our crowns And tarnishing our soul Trading our worth for platinum and gold Our souls are undersold, for what? Semiprecious pieces of metal value changing with time Open your eyes we need to rise Open your eyes we need to rise Open your eyes we need to rise Afterward Dialogue: "The mere possession of knowledge is not enough; It is the ability to use knowledge that matters."
Just heard this guy last nite on internet radio"truehiphopfm".... Man is Amazing....His delivery is so Fresh n Raw !! Dope upload fam...One love from da U.K
The fact that this song has 12 dislikes amazes me every time. This is the type of music we need to wake up our desensitized society. The music we will come together too.
You are right, the song is used for cod. You cant just say cod made this song famous.. Cyne is a great person, now shut up about cod. Btw Fume you had a point too, this song hit + 2mil hits because of cod, but cod dident make it famous, they just made it more known then people enjoyed this music! Respect from Ceez
Everything happening right now just made me think of this song
same
Yes havnt checked this song in years! CYNE is amazing. Share this to your friends
???
Conscious hip-hop at its finest 🎧🎵🎶🎵😌
That beat, that flow, those lyrics. Man, Cyne is so underrated.
Facts
damn, this is one of the closest tracks to perfection that I've heard in a while. Cyne gives my life meaning!
400 years later and this song still slaps

Nibey yeah man. im surprised this song didnt blow up
The Lich I still listen to this.
Nibey me too. maybe ill post this at some website to show it some love
Was listening to it 10 years ago,when I was a teen.Time flies by...
Who is here because Afro Samurai used this masterpiece? 🖐
Eternal Carnage I’m here because I heard this song quite a few years ago.
Partly that. I loved it in Afro Samurai, but also I love true hip-hop like this.
I came here cause I remember this song from a couple years ago from the Afro samurai pilot
This is amazing... the flow/beat and lyrics just on point.
+Ronald McDonald Who knew ronald mcdonald had a dope music taste
+Karan Sitlani eyy dawg u be on point ma nigga
That production at the end and the quote is simply amazing...
+Rae do you know who is it from by the way??
This is that real shit, straight knowledge here more people should pay attention
Real talk!
the mere posession of knowledge is not enough
Remember writing this HOOK as the table at D house at 15, now listening to it makes me feel like I am bigger then I know actually deeper than I ever knew...
This song hit's the Soul
ya'll true hip-hop fan know what mean
These guys played with Nujabes man
this one goes out to all my brothers and sisters i lost in 2020. it's been brutal but i believe we got the strength to keep going to the end of this almost eternal suffering. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
legit been breaking down a while listening this track.
Akin and Cise have the best flow of any modern rapper I can think of.
This was such an inspired choice for the Afro Samurai production pilot.
ahhhhh my god this song is fucking brilliant.
cyne is a musical genius. the first song ive heard. and likely the best i will ever hear
How do you feel 13 years later?
Still waiting mate
It's Cise Starr and Akin rapping, as well as Enoch and Speck producing dope beats like this one! Cise and Akin have also done some tracks with other producers, for example "Highs 2 Lows" and "Feather" with Nujabes. You should totally check him out too, if you haven't already :)
been bumping this since 07 shoutout Cyne !!!
I got on CYNE awhile back and I just started looking for their music again and DAMN I BEEN MISSING OUT!!!!!
With everything going on in the world Cyne keeps me positive.
That guitar sounding instrument is the thing that really sells this.
My old jams back in middle school. YES!
Damn man, you had some developed tastes for a middle schooler!
LaMidrange Aldridge Yeah im surprised myself. Cyne was one of my first groups I instantly liked. At the time akon and what not was not at all appealing haha
I'm in middle school atm but I can still understand the meaning in deep songs.
Greatest MW2 edit song ever made
[Verse 1: Akin]
I'm passing God's conception
Approaching near the land deception
Adjust the mirror, in my rearview I see reflection
At times my highways lead to bleak direction
So I seek confession speaking to beats
I call it resurrection cause I got my soul back
Some call me pro black
Really I'm just playing my part I could've sold crack
It's not for me
My old man thought of prophecy
Kwame Nkrumah's vision live in my odyssey for real
But not your Homer in Greek mythology
Akin devise schemes to conquer this trickology
The time is now to forsake the faking
I'm freedom in the making
God's kitchen chef rock a frigid apron
[Hook x2]
Ayo, For 400 years we shed tears
And when it's death among peers we pour beers
But now what?
Look what the world made me, enslaved me
But at the end what the fuck is gonna save me?
[Verse 2: Cise Starr]
My pulse quickening as my heart became a simile
I drift into the reaches of self, I felt panicky
Hoping for anarchy, liberation from this insanity
Tears running down my cheek hit the canopy
Wall of self doubt, shout scream and wail
At the pain coursing through my being I'm in a hell of thought
Caught between a rock and hard place
My personal space violated catching a case
I can even taste the bittersweet smell of defeat
I’m feeling the heat of blood running down in the street
Then look where I stand
My shadow is the trace of a man
That endured the hardships, formulating a plan
[Hook x2]
[Verse 3: Akin]
System ridiculous they fabricate lies now I'm sick of this
Like people with syphilis still trying to cripple this will
Revolution rap attack Pope Nicholas, chill, don't ever tell me that
Lies, they try to sell me that
I can't afford it
Your evolution get aborted
Let it be known I don't condone thrones in Rome
Call it prejudice, I sever this mic with a poem
Folks will hate to see this and mercenaries out for Jesus
Live from the pearly white gates about to squeeze
Is godly bad? Confederate flags I'm held hostage
No forty acres and mule abused profits
No forty acres and mule abused profits
[Verse 4: Cise Starr]
I’m breaking these shackles they got me chained away from my liberty
Look at the history how they treated us through the centuries
Like inanimate animals only given annual holidays
Representin' hardships we endure today
That’s not enough
What the fuck we getting comfortable now
Looking like clowns while industry is taking our crowns
And tarnishing our soul
Trading our worth for platinum and gold
Our souls are undersold, for what?
Semiprecious pieces of metal value changing with time
Open your eyes we need to rise
Open your eyes we need to rise
Open your eyes we need to rise
Afterward Dialogue: "The mere possession of knowledge is not enough;
It is the ability to use knowledge that matters."
That beat and lyrics tho... Cyne's beats are just the best
yusssss. always come back to this song.. timeless
Nice to see this song appear in the production demo for Afro Samurai
Thanks Samurai Champloo and afro samurai for introducing me to real hip hop
Thanks man, and I've been all over S02 and Nujabes for a while ;)
Just heard this guy last nite on internet radio"truehiphopfm"....
Man is Amazing....His delivery is so Fresh n Raw !!
Dope upload fam...One love from da U.K
Amazing quality for 2007!
Btw. good old CoD times
This song is really underrated
3:00 is probably one of the best samples ive ever heard, the only thing thaz comes close to it is the "the blues has always been totally american"
siN sent me!
What's the reason for the reason?
Afro Damurai brought me here, now i'm discovering myself with this song thank you Cyne.
How can People Dislike that? This is freaking Art😍

PEASE !!!
I feel like I've gone deeper and deeper into underground hip-hop, that I don't want to come back up to the surface.
this song sounds like of the most profound introspective moment one could have on a tab of acid
The beat is soooo niiice big up from QC ;)
This track makes me want to get stoned and listen to cyne and nujabes all trip
My favorite song by Cyne
The fact that this song has 12 dislikes amazes me every time. This is the type of music we need to wake up our desensitized society. The music we will come together too.
Greatest lyrics of all time and I'm a metal head
I cant find this song on spotify?? Help please its one of the best songs ever!
Hip Hop truly went underground
Hip Hop never died cuz Wu-Tangs Forever
i wish this was on itunes such a great song
R.I.P. to George Floyd, Eric Garner and all the others
RIP Fentanyl dancing banana man, you'll be missed.....
such a great album
simply amazing.
wow I got chills. Awesome tunes
6 years and this song is still golden.
Come back and take a listen again
10 years later it's still a banger
nas and cyne are two different styles of hip hop, not that comparable, but they're both good in their own way
hear all of their songs and then decide ;) i tought this one was their best but it came out diferent :)
The last time I heard something this dope I had just told my friend I was moving to Cleveland
Trevor Miller seep
Amazing song. Cise Starr is one of the greatest MCs of all time.
@dionodinot it is not a nujabes beat, but he is just paying respects to one of the legends of hip hop. RIP Nujabes, reppin for life
Thank you.
Beat is wonderful
@OssuaryRevolution keep busting those rhymes bro u handled with your flow =)
I miss this.
Such a banger
You are right, the song is used for cod. You cant just say cod made this song famous.. Cyne is a great person, now shut up about cod.
