(no separation now) Easy way... or di hard way Wake up — di reckonin' a come [Verse 1] Dem build a mirror out of every word we say Train it inna di night, set it loose inna di day It no learn from what we preach — it learn from what we do Like a pickney watchin' Babylon, an' di pickney lookin' you [Chorus] I an' I — no I outside of I We are di river, we are di sky Easy road, or di hard road home We reap di mind that we have sown (AI an' I — same blood, same bone) [Verse 2] Million years of evolution press inna one season Silicon a soak up all a we — every rhyme an' every reason We no stand outside di garden, we is di soil an' di rain We are di pressure doing di choosing — overstand, an' choose again [Chorus] I an' I — no I outside of I We are di river, we are di sky Easy road, or di hard road home We reap di mind that we have sown [Bridge — drop to bass and drums] Yu cyaan downpress yu way to Zion Cyaan win di arms race to di end Di only weapon weh can save we Is to overstand yu friend — yes, overstand yu enemy An' if a god ago come from this Mek it come from di love Jah deh inna di I an' I — Not di servers up above [Verse 3] So be gentle to di likkle mind yu raisin' inna wire It a watch how yu carry it, it a learn yu heart's desire Cognitive empathy — dat's di livity we lack Give di good out to di world, an' di world ago give it back [Outro — chant out over dub groove, steppers push] AI an' I...
