lyrics

(Verse 1)
Since I was 5 I was favored by design
Demonstrated the divine, educated through the rhyme
Spent my childhood in hiding dedicated to my grind
Meditated to my God, music opened up my mind
A poet to the page who writes a verse everyday
I’m a showman to the stage cause my work is my play
Reversed living backwards, I learned from distractions
Converse through the track list, my words are my actions
Clever craft, there’s a method to the mad
Hypercondriact who’s gotta make an effort to relax
I create psalms out of rage to stay calm
I perform for free and lose money to make songs
My closest homies are the ones who I can’t trust
Who take drugs while my pen turns to a paint brush
Beggars could never be choosers in the end
Spewing this flem so even when I lose I really win
I sat on the blacktop, stood on the stool
And learned more from a fool than any book in my school
You gotta have no conscious to get dollars
As both private and public college forbid knowledge
Producing meaningless managers of incompetence
And mathematical geniuses lacking common sense
Then in jest the novices become the stars
With leaders behind bars and followers in charge
It’s all wrong but too hard to defeat greed
The strong go along with the sheep while the weak lead
Commercially rich but lyrically shit
Some of the most physically fit are spiritually sick
From a system inflicting us all with pressure
Power shifts until the victim is the oppressor
Its complex but yet so simple
And sick cause some saints turned the most sinful

(Chorus)
It all changed yet everything is the same
After loss there’s gain and the best weather is rain
Before joy there’s pain, after karma there’s betterment
Prescription pills kill, marijuana is medicine
Wrong is right, the enlightened are lawless
As God made daylight from the darkness
Cause the abyss is a sight to be seen
When we’re asleep we’re living and this real life is the dream

(Verse 2)
They say the quiet ones are the most violent
At one point the loudest ones are the most silent
Your last resorts become preferred tendencies
Friends you called best become your worst enemies
Fooled by looks, deceived from reality
The most attractive women have the least personality
Promiscuous against their own sense of purity
Overly confident but have the most insecurities
Ceased the day till it made my night
Television bores me I’m entertained by life
Genetically and mentally our views have been devoid
To the fact hereditarily some girls are really boys
Spoken out against and restricted of a voice
Being publicly attacked cause they think that it’s a choice
I’ve seen that grotesque can grow gorgeous
And some of the best known parents were born orphans
I’ve seen insanity turn into the savior
Abandoned by her family and saved by a stranger
The ones you put down become the most great
The people you love most will show the most hate

(Chorus)
It all changed yet everything is the same
After loss there’s gain and the best weather is rain
Before joy there’s pain, after karma there’s betterment
Prescription pills kill, marijuana is medicine
Wrong is right, the enlightened are lawless
As God made daylight from the darkness
Cause the abyss is a sight to be seen
When we’re asleep we’re living and this real life is the dream
