Yugen Blakrok - 08 - Hold Ground (The Illusion of Being)

This black sheep's unbothered by social class Or having status, baby got nothing for master but hands I'm the blazing burnt offering on the shrine where I stand And when they're asking who the deity is I answer I am Moor-descendant ever-present far-seeing I'm all things Time-tested through the aeons to become supreme being The light leads I catch shadows tryina measure their atomic mass The last grain of sand pushing through an hourglass Pressure The ending of another era Marks a brand new beginning same word acapella Breathing life into creation animating Planet Terra With strange things changelings hybrids and chimeras I only ask that you suspend your disbelief These theories ain't conspiracies they're science in the streets Those who feel it prone to know it spot a snake by how he speaks Out-manouvre out-wit a system built on their defeat But   There's nowhere to run to There's nowhere to post up As long as they hunt you Hold ground (hold ground) Hold ground (hold ground) Hold it down (hold it down) There's nowhere to run to There's nowhere to post up As long as they hunt you Hold ground (hold ground) Hold ground (hold ground)   Hold it down like your life depends on inner strength And under no circumstance will you let go of intellect Physical prowess or your birthright of sentience Centred in the dan tien your gut-feeling is heaven-sent I'm heavy-cloud brainstorm blasting lightning bolts into your matrix My precision-level laser when I'm raging Against invasive states that turn our homes into cages Doesn't matter if it's bugle, music plays I turn and face it See myself unfolding in the notes like petals on a rose Hold the pose, click memory fills the roll The things we know are sweet nectar to the hunger of these drones In your hand analytics gonna strip you past the bone Is it mind control we're prone follow like a sheep herd? Blind while the fires of deceit burn The scheme works divided flock stumbling with principles bent When they ask them who their deity is they'll stumble again   There's nowhere to run to There's nowhere to post up As long as they hunt you Hold ground (hold ground) Hold ground (hold ground) Hold it down (hold it down) There's nowhere to run to There's nowhere to post up As long as they hunt you Hold ground (hold ground) Hold ground (hold ground)   __ The Illusion of Being __ Released 21st May 2025 ___ Stream / Download __ https://baco.lnk.to/TheIllusionOfBein... __ Buy Merch, Vinyls, CDs __ https://yugenblakrok.bandcamp.com/alb... __ Credits __ 08 - Hold Ground Written by Yugen Blakrok Produced by Kanif the Jhatmaster Guitar by Jordi Busque Hernandez Mixed by Jerem’ Blanc Mastered by Alexis Bardinet & Lorenzo Bassaletti at Globe Audio Mastering Cover Photo by Òscar Lanau Graphic Design by Noah Mouzon (No_studioo) Produced by I.O.T Records and Yugen Blakrok Published by Cylid Publishing © CYLID / I.O.T Records 2025 & ℗ Yugen Blakrok & CYLID / I.O.T Records ( @iot.records ) 2025 [IOT91]
