1. Lyric analysis
Hawk House – Tidal Tendencies
Going, way back We maintaining, gaining, no complaining Yeah, it is what is (mic) boy... [Verse 1: Eman] Uh, the
talk is blind so we headed up to further north To reinforce the causes and insure it's what we're fighting for Civil
pleads for freedom we exceed in the July the 4th Demoralise your line of force then insist we stay quiet more But
it's that kind of war requires more than silent swords Slaying forms collateral, Dinosaurs of the highest
force More percentage to your perception that's the truth of method Were giving lectures at no expense, that's a
true investment Growth to calibre is based upon your intel And what it entails, soldiers they get hit
well Bodyguards to presidents - they're vigilant like gazelles On board for the hardship and taking hard hits
regardless It's an organised invasion to the masked raiders And them Darth Vaders can't slay us, we got sharp
Sabres So increase your knowledge and conceive the promise If you ask it's given so it's guaranteed [Hook:
ALL] It's like Moses had a rod but it's lyrics that we part waves with Believe that we starve hatred, and these bars
major The bars been raised up It's evident, never been a day that these sharks phased us It's lyrics we part waves
with Believe that we starve hatred, and these bars major The bars been raised up It's evident, Never been a day
that these sharks phased us [Verse 2: Sam] Some people trynna find the meaning of life like it's a foreign
language It's more than average - my state of mind where my thoughts are gathered And of course my habit's
trynna get my cause established I'm storing bars to restore the balance Recording practise over beats to make
them pause like they was caught in traffic I'm spitting poetry people think that I'm quoting Hamlet I send this
information out like I was showing pamphlets I hope your understanding If you ain't giving food for thought your
just supporting famine Metaphorically speaking homie you're causing damage So call an ambulance or something
the scene is tragic I hope these lyrics end up stuck on your brain like a fragrance poured on fabric Raw like savage,
watch it reach the source like tablets I hope the listeners receive these lyrics like important facts The fact is I'm
trynna spread this music all across the Atlas Just trying to make sure that it happens Trust me, just trying to make
sure that it happens [Bridge: Demae] I always knew you would make your start Your finding the balance to make
a mark I always knew you would make your start (Yeeaaah, Yeaahhh, yeah oooooohhhh Ooooooohhh Yeeaaah,
Yeaahhh, yeah oooooohhhh Ooooooohhh) I always knew you would make your start (make your start) Your
finding the balance to make a mark I always knew you would make your start Start, start, start, start, start [Hook
