we wear the night / polaris (*)
We wear the night like a cloak ’cause we move with the stars
Navigating through these paths of muck, mud, and tar
A seeker of knowledge and truth inspired this, sharp as a knife
Navigating through the maze of pain, strain, and strife
They say life will throw you a curveball, so I’m standing at the plate
Digging in my cleats, spitting out chaw, facing my fate
You ain’t faced your demons if you can’t level with the devil
Everyone talks a good game, that don’t mean that they’re playing
Praying to God to get you through may be what you need to do
But make no mistake, recognize that there’s some of god in you
What you’re dealing with now may be really wearing on your
Self. But those who came before you endured so much more
If they can get through that, then you can get through this
They crawled and looked up so you could walk tall and exist
You might lose your footing, you might may even lose your shoes
When the going gets tough, the tough breaks tougher rules
Others have walked in your shoes and struggled at excelling
There’s power in your melanin; use it, mold it like gelatin
We wear the night like a cloak ’cause we move with the stars
Picking up the tradition our elders left, and taking it far
We wear the night like a cloak ’cause we move with the times
Still following Polaris, still freeing people, still freeing minds
