What you gon' do in your sleep What you gon' do if awake Are you aware of what's happenin' Have you touched bases with reality? (Ha!) I hope and pray we stay safe There is "sane," there's "insane" I know what's real and what's not There is "fate," there is "faith" There's nothin' much I can say Oh, we're stuck in reality Oh, we're stuck in reality Oh, we're stuck in reality Oh, we're stuck in reality What's this place What's the world that we've come to If we can't live by its guidelines, then what's the point of the rules You need to know that the time you got's not long You just wasted your time-it's gone And I mean, you're not listening-you're gone Indeed, you ain't built for this all along I ain't gon' trip with this, headstrong What's it to a murderer who tries to change up but had the audacity to take one They took parts of us and'll never make up everything they've cost in a blink of an eye Everybody's fightin' for a piece of the pie, a gist of the prize, this world is a lie Pent up by all the armory that's draped wit' our irony Spent up, can't win the lottery, some kids are starving See, it's all in stereo: trends brainwashing, the mainstream It's the radio, same scenario Take the good and then laugh, push that to the back Put bad in, the vast majority's rap We work when we young just to relax when we're old Bills and mortgages, so what do we own People born with a silver spoon in their throat, others scratch and claw to kick you off of your throne Got us looking like savages, it's so disastrous Gnawed to bits by lurkin' scavengers Limbs ache, I'm staggerin' Put our bones in piles like our souls don't matter (Hah) Our lives depend on things that do not matter (Hah) Riots risin', you can hear the clatterin' Peace is a dyin' subject, do not ask why Look around, what you see, huh You're awake, sink that in (Ahh) I do not cringe when y'all binge? Nah I do not feel at home, who's those people next door Generation of violence, feel like I'm destined for war These are hard hittin' words that'll knock out You're playin' yourself when you're gamblin', you better back out You're playin' with death when you blaze it, put that cigar out If you want to end it that way, then that's the fast route If your life's worth the while, then you can cash out Yeah, it's our finality, normality Had to be this way 'cause we are stuck in reality Oh, we're stuck in reality Oh, we're stuck in reality Oh, we're stuck in reality Oh, we're stuck in reality We're all cornered in the likes of this cell Cannot escape from this prison, cannot escape in this jail You can't trust anybody, seems you'll never make bail The people that got a smile on they face are the same people wearin' a mask, and pathologically feint Catastrophically indulged with no sight of restraint Gain the enjoyment when you're blown out your brains The same people who would end their lives because of a text that you sent The same person that cries right after you leave because they feel they don't belong here, like how do they vent I don't know what else I could rant about without startin' fires with need to stomp it out We plant the seed We plan the seed and yank and reap their own growth Go to sleep every night and wake up-that's called "hope" I'm down to teach, but soundin' like I'm bound to preach Hate over-powers hate, love over-powers love But does love over-power hate? I hate the fact love is questioned "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" People kneel 'neath you, need you feel equal "Change won't come until you make a change" "Don't let the fear of what could happen make nothing happen" Don't you wish you had more time But we take it, waste it Faced it-our times late Don't plan a future with someone with no future plans after Don't you wish you lost nobody Ever wondered what it'd be like if you could control everything Yeah, don't drink another bottle before you pass out You're playin' with health thinkin' it helps you with all them drugs Now, you're playing yourself messin' wit' women, you let your guard down Yeah, in this place things aren't what they appear to be, but this reality, everything's what it seems Yeah, congratulations, you awake in reality Welcome to the edge of reality, yeah
