Promised Land
D-Block/S-Te-Fan Lyrics

It's Fay'd
Introducing the artist Fay'd

Zeds
Acknowledging Zeds, another artist

Yeah, listen (mhh)
Inviting the listener to pay attention

I dunno about soul ties
Uncertain about deep emotional connections

'Cause my heart is sublime like it's dry ice
Feeling emotionally detached and cool

Or when to say what line
Uncertain about when to speak up

But I know that I'm clutchin' before it gets to crunch time
Being prepared for challenging situations

I've had two lives which grass is greener?
Reflecting on past choices and wondering if alternate paths could have been better

Do I want a German, am I trapping in a Beamer?
Considering material desires and lifestyle choices

It's a cold world we in and I ain't got a heater
Feeling unprepared and vulnerable in a harsh world

And I give these sermons, but I ain't a preacher
Sharing wisdom and guidance without being a religious figure

At times the well runs dry and it's just sand
Facing scarcity and lack of resources

Maybe I couldn't eat good and the food was bland
Struggling to find satisfaction and fulfillment

But the team got my back and we in command
Finding support and strength from a united group

And we got one mission: reach the promised land
Having a shared goal of achieving success and fulfillment

And if bro ain't got the nine, he ain't sleeping right
Feeling unsafe and anxious without necessary protection

And when them man come for him you know its fight or flight
Facing threats and having to respond with aggression or escape

He might get his revenge do it out of spite
Seeking retaliation fueled by resentment

And then set shit ablaze under the candle light
Causing chaos and destruction discreetly

When he does this job he do it out of sight
Performing illegal activities without being noticed

When the wolves howl he's moving through the night
Navigating dangerous situations with caution

Upon some reflection, did it feed his appetite?
Questioning if the actions taken satisfied inner desires

Now he's got survivors guilt, did he do it right?
Experiencing guilt and doubt about past choices

Sometimes I cry myself to sleep when the doors are closed
Revealing vulnerability and emotional struggle

I wonder can I live anyway the wind blows?
Contemplating adaptability and flexibility in life

If I get belittled will I ever grow?
Concerned about personal growth in the face of criticism

And I can only stay sane if I charge it tho
Maintaining sanity by finding outlets for emotions

(Woah) But you already know
Assuming the listener is already aware

Cause that's how the thing goes
Accepting the reality of a situation

And I may never get the chance to be a hero
Accepting the possibility of not achieving heroic status

But I can't be regular for me that's zero
Refusing to settle for mediocrity

I'm not fun to be played with like play dough
Asserting oneself as not easily manipulated

And the team comes through whenever I say so
Having a loyal group of supporters ready to act

I wanna drip in ice like I'm frozone
Desiring wealth and status

My rap ain't got holes like the ozone
Taking pride in the quality and integrity of one's music

'Cause in this Irish drill I'm the heir
Identifying as the successor in the Irish drill genre

And you know that I'm repping Eire
Showing support and pride for Ireland

Haters said that I'm never going clear
Facing criticism and doubt about future success

Ima blow worldwide while they watch and stare
Determined to achieve global recognition despite skeptics

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Expressing excitement and enthusiasm

You know how we is yeah
Claiming a shared understanding and identity

Ayo come on bro let them know we ain't the same
Encouraging others to recognize their unique qualities

l ain't the only one changing up the game
Acknowledging that others are also innovating

Word need to make our characters the main
Advocating for their own stories to be highlighted

I got brothers with me wanting claim to the fame
Having supportive friends who also strive for recognition

Focused team got me spitting on the stage
Receiving support from a dedicated team during performances

I let loose on the track now you know about Fay'd
Expressing creativity and talent in music

Top striker I call this guy son or kane
Referring to another artist as a skilled performer

Yo Zeds let em know about your name
Inviting Zeds to introduce himself

Yo I'd never start this shit but let's be cool I know some fighters
Discussing involvement with potentially violent individuals

Bro's a lose cannon and I'm pocketing all the lighters
Acknowledging a friend's unpredictable behavior while taking advantage of it

He said keep them birds tight but the circle kinda tighter
Receiving advice about maintaining close relationships but recognizing the limitations

Stupid fucking moves in a four figure attire
Engaging in reckless actions while wearing expensive clothing

Yo I'm talented I swear but I ain't ever been a trier
Confident in one's abilities but lacking motivation

Wanna put that guy on, yo I know he's holding fire
Recognizing someone's potential and their untapped talent

But ever since it popped off situation dire
Facing difficult circumstances since a particular event

Think it's a matter of opinion, Ion think anyone's a liar
Believing that truth and perception vary from person to person

Like calm down bro like I swear you got it twisted
Trying to bring someone back to reality and calm their emotions

He said this, he done that I swear I must've missed it
Expressing confusion and possibly feeling left out of important information

I'm a peacekeeping eejit tryna mix together misfits
Attempting to foster harmony among diverse and unconventional individuals

You sabotage this we just gon add ye to the hitlist
Warning against undermining the group's efforts

No sleep, spare bed, bro Happy Christmas
Describing a restless and uncomfortable situation

Chuffed with my materials, that girl on my wish list
Satisfied with possessions and desiring a specific love interest

But winter kinda sad so I need some weed to skip this
Seeking temporary relief from melancholy feelings through substance use

And my hands like my feet, yo I need my bro to flip this
Acknowledging the need for assistance and support

Like my future looking prosperous? Nah I ain't seen no sight
Expressing doubt about future success and prosperity

Half five, phone calls, literally I seen no light
Experiencing darkness and uncertainty during early hours

Humble by myself think I've always preferred no spite
Preferring a modest and non-confrontational attitude

But fuck those kinda thoughts, I'm in the studio up all night
Rejecting negative thoughts and dedicating oneself to artistry

Whatche mean he gotta leave? That's my co-sign
Expressing surprise and disagreement about someone's departure

Dressed up, stepped out, showtime, best dressed low life
Presenting oneself with style and flair despite an unconventional lifestyle

No one seems to know me except my brodie and my dopeline
Feeling misunderstood by others, but finding understanding from close friends

And I can tell how he be feeling by his voice on the phone line
Understanding someone's emotions based on their vocal tone

Impact to the ground, yo that sound still haunts me
Being haunted by a traumatic event or memory

But fuck him and his creatine that blood be on the concrete
Dismissing someone and their perceived toughness

So many plants have my boys like zombies
Having friends who are heavily involved in criminal activities

I got plans for each everyone like please don't rob me
Having individualistic goals and aspirations, hoping to avoid being taken advantage of

Zedsbar in the fucking building man
Endorsing Zedsbar as a significant presence

You feel me
Asking if the listener understands and agrees

Ai Fay'd, shoutout Fay'd man
Acknowledging and giving respect to the artist Fay'd
