Lyrics:
welcome to reality
we were born into a system
we didn't invent
not given by god
they say "bow down you scum"
fueled by power the rich get richer
but
a product of the system abused by the apartheid regime
And never got canceling
Bow down on your knee
And be given the key
And when you are free
The only anemy
couldn't seem to die
I wrote my way out
Wrote everything down far as I could see
I wrote my way out
I looked up and the town had its eyes on me
They
mad
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down
It's all in your mind"
My global position systems are vocally addressed
They say the Nile used to run
Follow me down to the water
Through the tripwires in your head
Through the seven layers
Of your holy bed
Where there is no warm guard
By the cities
of this made any
kind of sense
You anoint the king, Ill burn everything
down to ashes
You giveth, I taketh away
Its a system now, intertwined
Take your
After dark
System up with the top down
Got the city on the lock down
Drive by in the low ride
Hands high when we fly by
System up with the top down
Got
around a heart
Tighter and tighter
'Til the muddy waters part
Down by the river bank
A DJ arrives
The sub bass feels like an earthquake
The top end
and burn it down
You ever have regrets, counting dead presidents
Profiteering while we're scraping by
We caught onto your game, you don't know us by name
I'm getting by with my wicked ways
I'm loading up and I'm taking names
I wanna dig my way to hell
I wanna dig my way to hell
I'm getting by
You had quite good thing goin' with the girls you used to knowin'
You went up and down your list just like a yo-yo
And though it may be hard
place broken bottles in your geraniums
sabotage your gardening tools.
And I live down the end of your road.
By day I am a real estate gentleman.
I deal
thirty talents
Court reporter catch the circus on the paper
File it in the system not
Acknowledged by the Maker
Swearing by the bible blatantly blasphemous
lit town,
I was attacked by two thugs, who took me for a mug
And shoved me down on the ground
And they pulled out a knife, and I fought my way up
Listen to the river's murmur
withholding the water's elemental force
sparkling water down the gutter
power to the system listen to the millwheel's
of dress
Relegated by the Vatican
But you can't keep a spirit down that wants to get up again
If we're a drop in the bucket
With just enough science to keep
system
And I just want to do my thing
Life goes up and life goes down
You can not turn the numbers around.
I almost made it half a cenrty
To score
Organize and activate
Prepare to reciprocate
There's no repairing all the damage done
We must eradicate this system
Burn it down
Burn it down
Bury
Gloomy on sunny days
Shadows no house or trees
Prayers not close to me as I bow down and take a knee
Hell goes far as the eye can see
Hoodies
BYOB in BFE
There ain't a y'all come back or a welcome sign
But y'all can come by any Friday night
Might not be heaven, but it ain't far from it
Got
the system
And it's all right
And if you need to cry, you've got my permission
You can do anything in the world if you listen
Like a young man
Sit down
back, our voices are fading
Cause it's just a circle where demons are coming to thrive
Shut it down, shut it down
There's a warning sign
The system is
I'm tired of injustice, I'm tired of the schemes
The lies are disgusting, so what does it mean, damn it?
You're kicking me down, I got to get up
half a Vicodin, why can't I?
All systems ready for take off, please stand by
Sometimes I feel so alone, I just don't know
Feels like I been down
