(feat. Black Thought)[Sample: Winston Churchill]Now we are the masters of our fateThat the task which has been set us is not above our strengthThat it's pangs and toils are not beyond our enduranceAs long as we have faith in our cause and an unconquerable will-powerSalvation will not be denied usSalvation will not be denied usSalvation will not be denied usWe are the masters of our fateLong as we have faith, an unconquerable will-powerSalvation will not be denied us[Verse 1: Raekwon]The time has come, I've just begun, this is designer rumMy wallet got flowers on it, kill it cowardsFrom the land, the stolen land, where gold chains control a manThree hundred holding hands, stolen gramsI play the phantom, waving,Leave that nigga for dead, or should I save himSpitting out phlegm, no, just grave themI remember days, I used work for niggas, eat jerk with niggasBuying whip, is laughing and joking, trying to flipClip is loyal, fly spoil on the block, display royalEven though we go back to royals, black oilsLive as ever, can't tell me nothing, whateverThis thing of ours, is empowered by my niggas who pumpingTwenty four hours of slang motion, wave brushYa knew my hair was the ocean, running through the buildingJust negation, some of the creepsKnew me very well, knew he would sell, knew he was potent[Sample:]Now we are the masters of our fateThat the task which has been set us is not above our strengthThat it's pangs and toils are not beyond our enduranceAs long as we have faith in our cause and an unconquerable will-powerSalvation will not be denied us[Verse 2: Black Thought]OK, bridges I burn some, lessons I learn someMoney, I spent some, lent some, earn someMy eyes tell it, tell her the hell I return fromSpark up an L from the homeys I haven't heard fromBurn when the herbs come, I'm living largeNever chilling on the curb, just a villain on the verge, sonMy tenth shot is as efficient as the third oneSecond one, first one, worse come to worse runWhen I was pushed out the womb, the Earth spunThe only way to describe this is inertiaSome rappers think they can try me, who the first up?I don't guarantee no survivors, niggas, surf's upYeah, soul on ice, courage is sacrificeHold on tight, and save your laughter for the afterlifeThese chumps thinking they good, ain't even half as niceYour fate'll be a one way ticket to paradise, what?[Sample:]Now we are the masters of our fateThat the task which has been set us is not above our strengthThat it's pangs and toils are not beyond our enduranceAs long as we have faith in our cause and an unconquerable will-powerSalvation will not be denied usSalvation will not be denied usIn the words of the Psalmist"He shall not be afraid of evil tidingsHis heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord."
