Vigilance by Blaine Stephens

(Intro): Man, I'm trying to stay vigilant, but I'm recording in the dark, I'm about to fall asleep.


Vigilant vigilante with diligent planning.
I failed to plan, so I planned to fail, now I'm cramming
Time into the nooks and crannies, killed time
Time got revenge, it right hooked and slammed me, demanding me to start advancing.

Chanting while we breakdancing, man we
Dying everyday yet not glancing at a banshee.
Standing on razor blades, major craze with my shoes off.
Forgot my shoes, footloose, probably cause I dont count the cost.

Seriously, I'm not running until they sound the shot.
Round the squad, I got to stop this improvise.
This habitation of procrastination aint doing squat.
Forget the grind, take a blade, dull it to a screwdriver boy.

So it's not chopped, just screwed, then my thoughts are skewed.
Maniac on the loose, Blaine brainiac died, it's on the news.
Discernment, got to earn it, Change by my mind renewed.
24 hours a day, I'm done with the blame on my schedule.

(x2)
Vigilance, stay awake.
Vigilance, during mistakes.
Got to stay vigilant while He killing it.
Got to stay vigilant while He killing it.


I wanna be the captain of rap, but I'm just a troop.
Youngin interrupted with dreams that allude.
Loaded the chamber of my secret, now I shoot.
Wanna buy loops, but the sL Loops the only loops I'm buying, oops!

All these sneakers hanging me with their laces.
Like, do i want an EP with features or a pair of asics?
Patience abrasive, Imagination getting creative.
Erasing my playlist, now I'm pacing in a matrix.

Using a makeshift lie, but I should be faceless right?
Why do I aim for a famous high when God's sustaining life?
Ambitions twisted, addiction living.
Sitting in the intersection forgetting my limits.

The quatrains of my pain, I cant contain.
Headache in my brain like no headphones at a gun range.
Jesus, I apologize for what stain I have made.
Shame shame, Take that loss and put it over gain.

(x2)
Vigilance, stay awake.
Vigilance, during mistakes.
Got to stay vigilant while He killing it.
Got to stay vigilant while He killing it.


I remove the sleeping mask, Break loose the seeping past.
Heathens sleeping, Demons creeping until Jesus back.
The noose be beaming back, the truth defeating that
Gleaming Kingdom, freedom screaming when my Jesus back.

Cried when I realized the world’s truth was a lie.
My life was just a time, my life was just a lie.
It’s just a cry, just a crime, another mind that isn’t mine.
The law of death was Just defied when my sins were Justified.

Expecting an introspection inspection in my chest specimen.
Leaven messing up correct lessons directed to neglect messages.
Spitters spitting stupid sentence strategies.
Assuming the serpent sit suffocated so now we unconnected.

Now we sitting, sitting, there’s no work.
Sinning bring splitting , Let’s live it how he lived it and serve.
Jesus already paid the bill.
Yet we staying at the table like our stomach ain’t that filled(cerebrum).
