[Verse 1: My Perspective]
Like Wu-Tang, a human is nothing to mess with
Be glad you’re not running around having a death wish
But is it really better to be cramming right before your test is?
Get the results back, one mark but you still were bested
They yell at you for a 99 and you let them
But if anyone forces their dreams on you, why respect them?
They treat you as a robot, not a human being
Scratch that, a robot’s life has freer meaning
And you’ll say I’m just a child and what I just said is a sin
But age is no cage, and a simple mind is where the changes begin
Even on land a fish still has to shake its fin
Not eating, segregated from the school but it still has to swim
No matter what, there will still be some way to win
And the most important part is that we never give in
Would you let someone control you like a voodoo with pins?
Search your feelings, you know it to be true, the answer’s within
It’s “No, and you’ve been asking these absurd questions since when?”
“My mind is gargantuan, and my body’s not tin”
But you’ve been letting all of this in
See, you happen to be trapped in a labyrinth of statistics
Victims of stabbings asking for you to pay attention like you do to this rhythm
And a pessimist would just let out a sigh
Ask, “Why are you dying to live if you’re just living to die?“
But the most vital part is that you give it a try
Maybe you’ll get successful, flipping your tie
But after the game, the pawn and king are in the same box
So you don’t end any better than a man outside, suffering as the rain drops
And we’re taught even the most crooked adult is a leader
To tell the truth, I learned only half of what I know from my teachers
Was never really inspired by motivational quotes out of PA speakers
“Don’t fret, don’t shout, little man, I see you
You will come out fine, even if you aren’t a reader
You grow like a Talipot, but come out a cedar
You’ll always get the better of those who are cheaters
Demeaning themselves, instead of humans, think they’re weavers"
Some things are just forgotten as the time passes
We remember Muhammad, but who is Cassius?
What is integrity, and why do we lack it?
Wasn’t born then, but remember it in Dr. King’s masses
And it seems we’ve forgotten about a band of brothers called Kuklos
But we know how much the gap clothes cost in Euros
The type to spit and laugh at the dead activist in a mural
But when asked on FaceBook, you act like you knew them
So drop the act, release your soul from the pact
Rejoin your pack; start thinking in the future, not the past
Because we can’t change it but we can get a better tomorrow
Of course, that’s if society didn’t already mass downgrade all our morals
It’s like going all in, when you’re opponent flashed his two aces
But still we should try, bluffing’s simply in the basics
[Hook 1]
And in the days I get my share
Before I sleep, I’ll say a prayer
Because I know I’ll have nightmares
Of what it’s like there in Syria but I know that nobody cares
[Verse 2: Suicidal Man’s Perspective]
Uhhh, and if I was ever lucky it would always be just one time
Everything I ever accomplished has been Undun now
When the end of all time shall come nigh
A soldier, right up there on the front line
Hold up, I’m an outcast, a misfit
Weed, meth and crack in their system
Sickened of this shit hopefully one day I’ll be a statistic
Today is the day we rise up and take our stand
I never fear anyone else, as long as he a man
I see your hand, sweat bubbled up in it
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth against em
The world has already ended, I’m guessing
We’re living in some matrix, made in
China, I’d bet it. Lesson learned, the lead is burnt
My name is my name, I’m nameless, insane
His pain was in vain, cause your brains is mundane
You’re shameless for fame, but faceless the same
Races of masons gathered to birth the creation of a “perfect oasis"
But that can never exist, we humans are clouded by mist
I could go on forever, but I think that you get the gist
Utopias only occurs in your dreams because of this
The fact that humans have to benefit from the misfortune of others
In fact, 99% of those that live good steal from the portion of others
We should be more than just brothers, a mighty powerful phrase
We should be united, fighting the devil off, forever soft so we aren’t lost in a maze
I never belonged here on earth, my dreams were too high
But they can’t become reality, see, because truth is concealed by lies
Die to try to get a piece of the pie, only to see that the filling is dye
Piece together your mind, see to the real prize
Happiness is all but over, I no longer wish to be part of this exposure
Soldiers in closure homeless but nobody cares that they helped the country
Care for their own money, I despise this world
Lost in swirls, I have come to peace with my end
But this isn’t the end, this is where it all begins
I have already stated that I never fear men, I don’t even fear death
Nothing but a smile at the very moment that would see my final breath
Secluded for too long, society’s loser abusing his future
Bash me while they’re out boozing, think the ground had some movement
The truth is that I lose it when I hear others shooting
Planet earth, more like mother of sorrow
I end tonight, fuck seeing tomorrow
Over the years, I have fitted into the garment you call suicidal
I said I had for long been at peace, but I’m still blue, my eyes so
Teary, I’ve grown weary of bearing this burden
I know it won’t be any better burning
In hell’s fire I desire heaven, I’ve already lived through a hell
Known as "mother Earth”, but delightfully causes us all to fail
Society killed me and they aren’t apologizing
Because they all going through the process of dying
And I still dream dreams I still have nightmares
I still wish that I could like it here
But it’s now impossible like telling the prodigal son
Not to go squander his money and all of you should see
What we are is very different from what we could be
I pray y'all remember me, and those hypocrits let them be
Too far out, I hope you realize I’m not the one weak mentally
[Hook 2]
And in the days I get my share
Before i sleep I say a prayer
Though I know I’ll have nightmares of what its like there
In a dark mind, but I know that nobody cares
